The PNLP is a planning instrument aimed at shaping the ports industry and is the responsibility of the ministry. It is being developed to boost overall capacity through either investment or upgrades.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PNLP will serve both this and future generations, be they in the private or public sector, in terms of [increasing] efficiency, competitiveness and growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to ministry figures, in 2014, capacity uptake at ports was in the region of 63%, while overall volume handled amounted to 900m tons, although existing infrastructure could accommodate up to 1.43bn tons.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the minister forecasts possible growth of up to 103% between 2014 and 2042.<\/p>\n
To realise their potential, ports will require public and private investment of $13bn, with the former contributing $1bn in dredging and port upgrades, while the latter will provide $5bn in the form of new terminals, $4bn for new concessions and $3bn for concession renewals.<\/p>\n
The minister also confirmed that four new areas will be put out to concession on December 9: one in Vila do Conde (PA) and three in Santos. These should generate investment of $300,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
