DP World to boost Santos Port handling capacity by 25%:<\/strong> Port operator DP World is earmarking USD 296 mn in investments to boost capacity and improve terminal operations at Brazil\u2019s Santos Port, in a bid to increase the port\u2019s total handling capacity by 25% to 2.1 mn TEUs by 2028, according to a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the money going?<\/strong> Investments will be funneled toward infrastructure development, including the construction of a new berth and expanding the yard, enlarging inspection areas, revamping access gates, and adding more reefer towers. It will also fund the uptake of four quay cranes, 15 rubber-tired gantry cranes, and 40 internal transfer vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> The new investment builds on a larger total of over USD 555 mn that DP World has invested in Brazil since launching there 12 years ago. Last year, DP World said it invested<\/a> some USD 83.3 mn into expansion projects in Santos, which are currently underway. This includes the development of a 190-meter quay extension to enhance berth flexibility and boost handling capacity to 1.7 mn TEUs by next year. <\/p>\n

DATA POINT-<\/strong> The Santos terminal\u2019s container throughput rose by a record-breaking 14% y-o-y to 1.25 mn TEUs in 2024, the statement says. DP World has processed over 10 mn TEUs of goods at the terminal since launching operations.<\/p>\n

A special love for Santos? <\/strong>The firm extended its agreement with global shipping line Hapag-Lloyd over container handling operations in Santos for another 10 years in September<\/a>, and in March inked<\/a> an eight-year strategic agreement with Danish shipping giant Maersk to expand the port\u2019s maritime services and container handling capacity. Last year<\/a>, DP World and Brazil\u2019s leading railway operator Rumo<\/a> also agreed to establish a new terminal for grains and fertilizers at Santos Port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
