• Stolthaven Terminals: Global operator of bulk liquid and chemical storage terminals with Latin American presence. Direct peer because it competes in specialized bulk storage and terminal handling for chemical, oil, and gas customers, mirroring Nitport's bulk and Repetro storage offering.
• Tequimar (Vopak Brazil): Brazilian liquid bulk and chemical terminal operator owned by Royal Vopak. Direct peer because it operates specialized tank storage and marine terminal infrastructure in Brazil serving industrial and oil & gas customers, overlapping with Nitport's bulk handling and storage model.
• Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP): Brazilian container terminal operator at the Port of Santos in a joint venture between APM Terminals and TIL. Direct peer because it operates a single-asset Brazilian terminal providing cargo handling, storage, and integrated logistics to shipping customers.
• Wilson Sons: Brazilian port and maritime logistics operator with container terminals, towage, and ship agency services. Direct peer because it operates Brazilian port terminals serving shipping and offshore customers with similar infrastructure-heavy, B2B service models.

Regional players

• Inland Container Depots of Santos (Multiterminais / grupo Equipar): Brazilian inland container depot and logistics operator serving São Paulo region. Regional peer because it provides port-adjacent storage and logistics services in Brazil with a different geography but comparable warehousing/inland-port business model.
