Brazil’s port privatisation plans are stepping up a gear with the government announcing plans to auction off 35 terminals. In the accelerated ports sell-off sheme, 22 terminals are scheduled to be auctioned between now and the end of 2025, including three before the end of this year. Among the key sales are a new terminal at Itaguaí and a container terminal at the port of Santos. The Brazilian ports scene is changing fast. Last month, CMA CGM bought a 48% stake in terminal operator Santos Brasil, while yesterday Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) struck a deal to acquire a majority stake in Brazilian port and maritime logistics operator Wilson Sons. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsBrazil
