Libra Opens Private

Brazilian Container Terminal

The Libra Group, parent compa- ny of Nacional Line, has taken the initiative towards easing conges- tion, improving turnaround times and restructuring activities in the

Port of Santos, Brazil, with the opening of a private container ter- minal — Terminal 37. The facility is reportedly the only private marine terminal of any kind at the

Port. Libra was awarded the con- tract to operate the 500,000-sq.-ft.

Terminal 37 for 20 years, with a provision to extend for a second 20- year term. The terminal will be fit- ted with state-of-the-art equip- ment and machinery in order to move containers quickly through the Port and beyond. Ultimately, the terminal will have the capacity to handle in excess of 100,000 con- tainers annually.

In an exclusive agreement with the Sao Paulo State Port Authority,

Libra, Paulista and Nacional ves- sels will receive priority berthing to ensure economic and efficient operation. This marks the first phase of the privatization of gov- ernment-owned port facilities, part of a move that has been legislated by the Brazilian government for the purpose of modernizing its ports.
