Japanese car and container carrier NYK Line has declared an interest in investing in Brazilian ports and the USD$300M deepwater port project – called Superporto – currently being developed just outside of the port of Tubarao is the likely destination of Japanese cash. A port official said, “This deepwater project for containers and cars has attracted the interest of a number of leading players, as well as NYK Line, but they are the frontrunners.”
