President Announces the Auction of Ten Port Terminals in Brazil

A port is a station used for commercial and trade activities such as loading and unloading cargoes and other activities that generate income. In contrast, a terminal is like a “checkpoint” on a port where incoming shipments are thoroughly inspected and documented.

The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, announced today that the Secretary of Ports, by the Federal Government, will lease 10 port areas in the first half of 2019, including 3 terminals in the Port of Cabedelo/PB. The auctions of 4 of these areas will happen in march 22th of this year.

PROMARE CONSULTORIA is a multidisciplinary consultancy, based in Ceará with international operations, founded in 1999 and offering services with a pragmatic approach to strategic business consultancy.

Jair Messias Bolsonaro is a Brazilian politician and retired military officer who has been the 38th president of Brazil since 1 January 2019. He was elected in 2018 as a member of the conservative Social Liberal Party before cutting ties with it.
