Abstract
Changes in the port sector over the last years lead to an increasing need for qualification and self-sustainability in Brazilian public ports and port pricing figures as an important element that must be addressed by Port Authorities. The present study aimed to analyze this issue, considering Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) – the Rio de Janeiro Port Authority – and its managed ports as a case study. In order to do so, a comparative analysis was carried out, considering the two main ports managed by CDRJ (Rio de Janeiro and Itaguaí) and its competitors. The study was based on secondary data from the sampled ports, as well as on-site analysis at CDRJ. Findings showed that ports differ both in terms of applied tariffs and charged units. Regarding revenues structures, CDRJ showed some differences compared to others PAs, with a greater concentration on lease agreement than port tariffs. This makes the occupation of port areas and their respective contracts crucial aspects to be considered by this Port Authority.
