MAJOR INVESTMENTS TO ENHANCE CHANNEL DEPTH AT PORT IN SANTA CATARINA

Dredging at the Port of São Francisco do Sul is nearing completion, with the removal of approximately 370 m³ (equal to five containers) of submerged rock between berths 101 and 102. The BRL 12 million project, which began in 2025, intends to increase depth to 14 meters while lowering maneuvers, time, and operational expenses. The process is carried out mechanically, without the use of explosives, which has a smaller environmental impact and increases safety. The intervention is being carried out in two stages to minimize disrupting port operations. It takes place at a critical terminal for Santa Catarina, which is expected to handle 17.5 million tons and generate BRL 189 million in revenue by 2025.
