DP World and Rumo to build new grain and fertiliser terminal at Port of Santos

DP World has partnered with Brazilian railway operator Rumo to build a new terminal at the Port of Santos to handle 12.5m tonnes of grains and fertilisers a year, with the aim of positioning the port as Brazil’s primary trade gateway and a key hub for South America. 

Once complete, the new terminal will handle 9m tonnes of grains and 3.5m tonnes of fertilisers a year. 

Construction is expected to take 30 months and all other services at Santos will continue with no impact on container handling operations.
