Antaq has therefore had to put back the tender until the end of April at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>All six tenders are for terminals in ports in the state of Par\u00e1, which are estimated to generate combined revenues of $1.71bnover the course of the 25-year concession period. Two are in Santar\u00e9m (one to dispatch soy and a second for iron ore), while in Outeiro there are three, all for the handling of grain. In Vila do Conde, the tender issued in December 2015 covering a soya handling facility is to be re-issued, after it generated no interest last time around.<\/p>\n<p>In the last round of tenders, three concessions were awarded in the Port of Santos, totalling $120m.
