5 port terminals to be auctioned on B3 with expected investments of R$74 million

The National Water Transport Agency (Antaq) holds the first batch of port leases for 2024 on Wednesday (21). Five areas will be auctioned, with a total investment expected of R$ 73.9 million. The event will take place at 2 p.m. at the B3 headquarters in São Paulo.

Among the assets auctioned are three terminals located in the Port of Recife: REC08, REC09 and REC10. The event also includes RIG10, located in the Port of Rio Grande (RS), and RDJ06 in the Port of Rio de Janeiro. The terminals will be leased in the simplified model for a maximum period of 10 years without the possibility of extension.

REC08 is designed to transport and store large quantities of solid vegetables, and is expected to involve direct investments of approximately R$51 million. For REC09, dedicated to the transport and storage of bulk and general solid cargo, mainly rice, R$2.2 million is expected. REC10 will handle and store solid and general cargo, with investments estimated at R$2.9 million.

In the case of RDJ06, which handles the storage and transportation of liquid general cargo, the estimate is R$10.1 million in contributions. RIG10 in turn expects the terminal to cost R$7.8 million to handle and store general cargo.

The five areas were initially listed for auction on May 23. However, the event had to be postponed due to the general state of disaster in Rio Grande do Sul.
