BRAZIL SPARE PARTS FLASH NEWS: Ladies & Gentlemen, Since beginning of October, Sao Paulo´s GRU Airport Authority is facing lots of logistical problems within their warehousing system, specially concerning the importing area, due to an increase in volumes and quantities, as well as their lack of staff to handle the reception/segregation and distribution of arrived cargoes. The above is affecting not only the time of releasing cargoes to Consignees, but is also causing reflex on their internal procedures, as there are already many cases of part cargoes going astray and not being located, which prevents Consignees of starting proper Customs procedures/clearances, once Customs do not accept partial releases. With regards to the handling of spare parts at Sao Paulo’s international airport Guarulhos (GRU), and as airlines are not being able to unload their cargoes directly to the bonded warehouses, Airport Authority is not coping with timely cargo deliveries to Customs bonded area and so, clearances are being much delayed. As it has been depicted on below photos, lots of cargoes are being left on the patios to await room and opportunity of being transferred/stored to the airport warehouses. At the moment, there are no favorable indications as to when the situation will return to normal, so suggest refraining from airfreighting any further spare parts to the airport ‘GRU’, but rather do it to Rio de Janeiro International Airport, Galeao ‘GIG’, where situation remains normal. We are monitoring the matter closely and will keep you informed on further developments.

SANTOS, BRAZIL: new terminal at the port seen as solution to increase port capacity; The Brazilian government’s decision to hold an auction for container terminal STS10 at the Port of Santos was well-received by the private sector, which regards the new terminal as an urgent solution to increasing port capacity. The terminal will be located at the Saboó pier, near Parque Valongo, and is expected to handle up to 3 million TEUs annually. The updated plan, approved by the Ministry of Ports and Airports (MPor) and the Civil House, calls for four berths—one more than the initial proposal—boosting the port’s container handling capacity by 50%, from 6 million to 9 million TEUs. The area allocated for STS10 is planned to cover 601,000 square meters. However, the MPor did not provide clarification on whether the concession area will be expanded to accommodate the fourth berth. The original concession contract called for an estimated investment of R$ 3.3 billion and a 25-year term, with the auction being awarded to the highest bidder. Murillo Barbosa, president of the Private Port Terminals Association (ATP), emphasized the urgent need to expand capacity, noting that current terminals in Santos are nearing their limits. He stressed the importance of planning for “land access” to avoid “disruptions in the city” as the new terminal will increase truck and rail traffic. Jesualdo Conceição Silva Silva, president of the Brazilian Association of Port Terminals (ABTP), expressed optimism about the STS10 lease, seeing it as a solution to expand container operations in Santos. However, he emphasized the need to know the project’s final details before providing a more in-depth opinion.

PARANAGUA PORT, BRAZIL: TCP Terminal de Contêineres de Paranaguá completes expansion of largest reefer container yard in South America. The capacity increase was 45% in the number of sockets, from 3,624 to 5,268. In the whole of 2023, of the 482,389 TEUs (equivalent to 20 feet of container length) exported via TCP, 242,199 TEUs, or 50.2%, were frozen meat. In the first four months of 2024, the amount of reefer cargo handled reached 80,650 TEUs. Another differential available at TCP is the handling of refrigerated cargo by rail, the only one in southern Brazil to reach the bonded area of a container terminal. “Approximately one in every six containers received by the Terminal uses rail, and the reefer volume has a large share in this movement. This operation is very advantageous because it brings greater reliability, cost reduction and is a more sustainable transportation option for the exporter”, said Giovanni Guidolim, TCP's sales manager.

ITAJAI PORT, BRAZIL: JBS in talks to enter the port operation. Brazilian conglomerate JBS is reportedly in negotiations, through its subsidiary Seara, to acquire shares in Mada Araújo Asset Management Ltda, to operate the Port of Itajaí in Santa Catarina alongside an international shipowner. The confidential negotiations, ongoing for approximately two months, are being closely monitored by the National Waterborne Transport Agency (Antaq). Although the information remains unofficial, neither JBS, Seara, nor Mada Araújo have confirmed or commented on the negotiations thus far. The potential transfer of the contract involves undisclosed values. Reports indicate that Mada Araújo recently submitted an inquiry to Antaq regarding the transfer of quotas. The company, which assumed control of the port at the beginning of the year under a temporary concession contract, has yet to reactivate operations.
