Maritime and Port

Brazil has a vast port infrastructure, which, nevertheless, is still insufficient for the needs related to the economic development of a Country with continental dimensions which has a coastline of more than seven thousand kilometers.

The port area, following the general trend of the infrastructure sector, is the object of a clear and consolidated public policy of partnerships between the government and private companies.

There is a strong private presence in the sector that was reinforced with the edition of the Law12.815/2013, which is a current regulatory framework.

Manesco has been advising the sector, for years, with port leasing operators or concessionaires, on regulatory matters or complex business law issues; in the modeling of private EPCs for the implementation of private ports; seeking solutions to highly questionable legal problems, both with regard to implementation and operation of new private facilities and in the assistance from logistics operators in public ports.
