The new cap rate values of the railroad industry should be effective from January. “We are completing the studies later this month and we hope that the new cap rates are effective from January”, said today the director general of the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), Bernardo Figueiredo. “We have observed that for some flows the cap rate is adequate, but not for others. Some flows may experience a reduction of the cap rate, and others may experience an increase.”
According to Figueiredo, ANTT does not have any kind of goal of reduction or increase in the rate value. The purpose is to match the railroad costs and the railroad reality, he said. He cited as an example the container transport, which is relatively new in Brazilian railroads. “We have been studying new realities like that.”
With respect to stretches underutilized by the railroad concessionaires, Figueiredo said that ANTT is reviewing the proposals made by companies to recover them. According to him, in the stretches considered as structural parts, such as the one between the railroads connecting southern Brazil to Argentina, currently owned by ALL, the goal is that these stretches are not only recovered, but modernized. “Just get them back to their original capacity is not sufficient to meet the market demands”, he said.
Because these investments are not obligations laid down in contract, ANTT is analyzing the best way to negotiate them with the concessionaires. Other stretches that Figueiredo cited as an example of structural parts are those between Belo Horizonte and Salvador and the connection Santos-Anápolis.
