The works to expand the access channel to the Port of Paranaguá were completed last week. With this, from now on, each bulk carrier can ship up to 10,500 tons more, increasing the capacity of monthly movement of grains to 315 thousand tons.
In addition, improvements to the port access channel have increased the overall cargo handling capacity by more than 60%.
Works were also inaugurated for the expansion of the new wharf for docking of ships of the company TCP (Terminal of Containers of Paranaguá). The works received investment of approximately R $ 115 million. The wharf will pass from the current 879 meters to 1,099 meters in length and from 40,75 meters to 50 meters in width.
The expansion will give the terminal the ability to simultaneously operate three of the largest container ships in the world. The works are part of the agreement for the early renewal of the lease of the Terminal for another 25 years, starting in 2024, signed in April 2016 with the federal government.
