📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Build New Grain and Fertiliser Terminal at Port of Santos.
Description:
Rumo estimates the total investment for the construction of this state-of-the-art facility at BRL 2.5 billion (US$500 million), which will be financed through a combination of Rumo's resources, loans, and potential strategic partnerships. This is in addition to recent investments in DP World container handling facilities increasing capacity from 1.2 million TEUs to 1.4 million TEUs, while expanding the size of the quay from 1,100 metres to 1,300 metres. Once complete the new terminal will handle 9 million tonnes of grains and 3.5 million tonnes of fertilisers a year. With construction expected to take 30 months, all other services including container handling at Santos will continue, with no impact to container handling operations.
Under the 30-year agreement, DP World will provide the terminal area located on the left bank of Brazil’s Port of Santos to Rumo and assume responsibility for operations and port services. The port is one of the largest and most modern private multi-purpose port terminals in the country. The collaboration solidifies DP World's position as the country's leading multipurpose port operator, capable of simultaneously handling containers, cellulose, grains and fertilisers. The new terminal will be equipped with 21 new pieces of equipment, featuring advanced technology to reduce consumption and emissions of polluting gases.
