Hanseatic Global Terminals has acquired Imetame Logística Porto for an undisclosed amount, marking a significant expansion into the Brazilian port infrastructure sector. Imetame Logística Porto is a major new port development project situated in Aracruz-ES, Brazil, designed to serve large vessels and offer a sustainable logistics platform.
Imetame Logística Porto is being developed with a 17-meter depth, making it suitable for long-haul and cabotage lines operating large ships. The project emphasizes sustainability, aiming for lower carbon emissions and reduced costs through intelligent technologies and best operational practices. It is conceived as a Private Terminal Complex, offering specialized services for containers, vegetable bulk, general cargo, and Oil & Gas. With over 1 million square meters, the port is projected to handle approximately 1.6 million containers and 10 million tons of grains annually at full operational capacity. Initial test operations are anticipated for the second half of 2025, with full homologated operation expected by mid-2026. Hanseatic Global Terminals operates within the global port and terminal sector, focusing on strategic infrastructure investments.
This acquisition is strategically important for Hanseatic Global Terminals, providing a foothold in a key South American market with a modern, future-ready asset. The integration of Imetame Logística Porto into Hanseatic's portfolio is expected to create synergies by combining Hanseatic's operational expertise with Imetame's advanced infrastructure and sustainable design principles. The move positions Hanseatic to capitalize on the growing demand for efficient and environmentally conscious logistics solutions in Brazil.
The combined entity is poised to become a significant player in the regional logistics landscape, leveraging Imetame's deep-water capabilities and multi-cargo handling potential. This acquisition underscores a commitment to developing robust and sustainable port operations, ready to meet the evolving needs of global trade and the next generation of shipping.
