Alemoa will have two new berths and expands liquid bulk capacity at the Port of Santos

The Port of Santos is expected to undergo a new expansion in the movement of liquid bulk with the construction of two new berths in the Alemoa region. The announcement was made last Thursday (19) by the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, and the president of the Santos Port Authority (APS), Anderson Pomini.

With the new berths, the total number of berthing positions in Alemoa will increase from nine to 11, allowing an increase of up to 5 million tons in the capacity to handle this type of cargo. The initiative reinforces the strategic role of the Port of Santos as the country’s main logistics hub.

According to APS, the projects will be led by important companies in the sector: Ultracargo Logística, Vopak Brasil, Stolthaven Santos and Granel Química, which already operate in liquid bulk operations in the region.

In addition to the port expansion, advances in mobility and road access were also announced. The federal government and the port authority reported the completion of the basic project for Avenida Perimetral da Margem Esquerda, in Guarujá.

The project foresees the implementation of seven kilometers of roads, in addition to two kilometers of new viaducts, with the aim of separating heavy vehicle traffic destined for the port from urban traffic. The initiative should reduce congestion and improve road safety in the region.

Among the planned interventions are the change in the layout of Santos Dumont and Perimetral avenues, construction of sidewalks and cycle paths, in addition to the modernization of urban infrastructure, including hydraulic, electrical and signage systems.

Another highlight is the construction of a viaduct that will directly connect the port terminals to the São Paulo lane of the Cônego Domênio Rangoni Highway, eliminating the need for trucks to circulate through urban roads in Vicente de Carvalho. New viaducts are also planned on Avenida Santos Dumont and access to the Conceiçãozinha neighborhood.

The works are part of a set of investments aimed at modernizing port infrastructure and improving logistical integration between port and city, reducing bottlenecks and increasing operational efficiency of the largest port complex in Latin America.
