RESUMO

This study analyses the organized ports concession model, which was regulated by Decree 6.620, dated October, 2008. The analysis aimed to evaluate the chances of success in three different aspects: 1) the satisfactory supply of port services as to prices, operational performance and quality for the customers; 2) the attractiveness to private investors; and 3) as a regional development tool. These aspects reflect port costumers, investors and the governments interests, respectively. Methodology was based upon the analysis of the current legislation on maritime ports, in addition to research of existing literature and consultation with specialized professionals identified throughout the study. The range of this work also included a comprehensive analysis of port regulation and its importance as a complimentary force to competition, in those situations where the latter cannot be fully developed. It also included an evaluation of Brazilian regulatory institutions and its assignments, as well as available policies to develop Brazilian ports: decentralization, port development through the leasing of areas and facilities, private terminals authorizations, and the port master concession model. The conclusion is that the new model is convenient and, if perceived as more reliable from the point of view of private investors, would become an important tool for the development of Brazilian ports. Several issues e.g. the lack of intraport competition, the interference of Port Authority Councils on port management, and so on, hinder the successful implementation of the model. The analysis points toward the necessity of changes in the legislation.
