TPL is a 70%/30% venture between Log-In and local Manaus based company Juma Participacoes SA, and the intention is to construct a phase one 250,000 teu capacity box facility on a 600,000 sq m site in Manaus owned by Juma. The terminal will be located on the edge of the Manaus Industrial Complex where hundreds of multi-national companies assemble foreign parts for a wide range of consumer goods (particularly electronics) for export and onward shipment to the south of Brazil.
