The MCP01 terminal of Santana Port, located at the mouth of the Amazon River, was auctioned on Thursday, marking a significant step in the advancement of logistics infrastructure in Brazil. The bidding took place in São Paulo, with the company CS Infra winning the auction, committing to a 25-year management contract. The terminal is critical for the movement and storage of agricultural commodities, such as grains and wood chips, making its operational efficiency vital for the region's economy.

Fernando Quintas, CEO of CS Infra, indicated that the company plans to invest R$ 150 million for modernization and capacity enhancement of the terminal. The majority of this investment is expected to occur within the first four years, focusing on essential upgrades including paving, drainage systems, fire safety measures, and new equipment acquisitions. These improvements are aimed at increasing the terminal's operational capabilities to accommodate larger vessels, enhancing the port's strategic importance further.

With a total area of 30,546 square meters, the port plays a significant role in the logistics chain for agricultural exports in Brazil, particularly for products leaving the Amazon region. The successful auction and upcoming investments signal a commitment to enhancing Brazil's infrastructure for international trade, likely bringing increased economic activity and improved export capabilities for local industries.
