BTP is located in the city of Santos and has an experienced and highly motivated multidisciplinary team specializing in Logistics and Port Operations, Engineering, Environment and Administrative Management. BTP also has support from top consulting firms.

The company is part of Europe Terminal NV, an international conglomerate with over 20 years experience of operating ports and planning, building and managing terminals, with presence in countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

BTP's parent company is providing technical and financial support required to build its terminal in the Port of Santos with a total investment of R$ 1. 6 billion in environmental remediation and other construction work in the port, which will be able to handle 1.1 million containers and 1.2 million tons of bulk liquids per year. Construction will generate about 3,000 jobs and when the terminal is operational, 1,500 direct jobs, with another 9,000 indirect jobs will be created.

The terminal will start operations in the first half of 2012, and will have three berths for vessels of up to 9,000 TEUs. Storage tanks for bulk liquids and container storage yards will also be built on the same site, in addition to operational offices and other facilities usually required for facilities on this scale (see the project area at this website at Audiência Pública \ Figuras public hearing / figures).

In addition to boosting cargo handling capacity at the Port of Santos - which is crucial for the continued growth of Brazil's foreign trade - this key project will ensure technical and economic feasibility for environmental recovery of degraded areas in the Alemoa region, where all kinds of waste from port activities was dumped for decades, thus allowing it to be reused economically and returned to its role as a port area.
