The leasing of new areas increase investment opportunities in the Port of Paranaguá

In the coming days, the company Portos do Paraná will advance the leasing process of two areas of the Port of Paranaguá. On this Thursday (24th), will happen the public hearing for the leasing of PAR09 and, on the 30th, PAR32 will go into auction. The company also intends to put two other areas – AR14 and PAR15 – into bidding this year.

“These leases allow the better use of vacant areas or areas currently under precarious contracts,” explained Luiz Fernando Garcia, president of the public company. “We intend to make the port of Paranaguá increasingly more efficient and compatible with high standards required for Brazilian logistics. As a result, new jobs are created with the attraction of new businesses, the municipality collects more taxes, and the city develops itself. The port plays a fundamental role in the economy and people’s lives.”

The Port Authority of Paraná was the first in Brazil to receive the delegation of powers, still in 2019, to carry out bidding and other management acts previously vested in the Ministry of Infrastructure.

This Thursday, March 24th, the public hearing concerning the leasing of PAR 09, an area of 24,026 square meters located at the west of the port, aimed at handling solid vegetable bulk. The expected investment is R$ 492.6 million.

The event will be held virtually through the Zoom platform, starting at 2 pm. The session will be streamed, recorded, and made available on the “Appa Licitacao” channel on YouTube. The public consultation for contribution and suggestion submissions is open until April 6th.

On the 30th, at 3 pm, the PAR32 area goes up for auction. The future warehouse, measuring 6,651 square meters and located in the port’s main lane, will primarily be used for handling sugar in the form of general cargo. The anticipated private investment (Capex) is R$ 4.17 million over a 10-year contract that can be renewed at the discretion of the granting authority.

The public session will take place on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3), with a live broadcast on www.b3.com.br. More information about the hearing and the auction on the Portos do Paraná website.

NEW AREAS – The other two areas scheduled to be auctioned later this year are PAR14 (61,450 square meters) and PAR15 (37,431 square meters), both used for storage and handling of solid bulk. The first foresees an investment of almost R$ 1.2 billion and the other, R$ 656.8 million.

FUTURE – In addition to the four processes already underway, the Federal Government’s Investment Partnerships Program (PPI) recently designated a new area in the Port of Paranaguá as a national priority. PAR03, which spans 38 thousand square meters, will be used to move and store solid mineral bulk, primarily fertilizers. The space includes a fenced yard (greenfield) in front of Portos do Paraná’s administrative headquarters and a 6,000 square meter Public Fertilizer Terminal (Tefer).

According to the preliminary survey, a minimum investment of R$ 233 million is required, though this amount may vary depending on the studies.
