Wilson Sons announced a plan to invest 1.1 billion reais (US$220 million) in the expansion of its container terminal in Rio Grande do Sul.
The investments will be made in Tecon Rio Grande and disbursed by 2030, the company said in a statement.
Among the main planned works are the expansion of the quay, which will increase from the current 900m to 1,200m, allowing the terminal to operate with larger ships.
Tecon Rio Grande is one of the main port structures in the south of the country, serving exports of frozen chicken, pork, tobacco, rice, resins, pulp, and furniture.
The announcement of the investments comes amid expectations of increased funding in the port sector, given the prospect of progress in international trade agreements, which tend to boost logistics demand.
One of the main agreements underway is the free trade agreement between Mercosur – a bloc formed by Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay – and the European Union.
