Private sector concerns over Brazilian law changes

At the moment, private-sector investors involved in port projects have to own more than half of all cargo being handled there under part of the so-called Antaq resolution, which was adopted in 2005.

However, there is concern that existing private terminal concessions would be put at a disadvantage by any change in legislation. In addition, stevedores are opposed to the measure, which they see as effective privatisation of port terminals.
