Porto Ponta do Félix, located in Antonina, on the coast of Paraná, concluded, on the 8th, an unprecedented operation: its first cabotage navigation for the shipment of wheat transport. The cereal – produced in Paraná and marketed by Coamo Agroindustrial Cooperativa – is destined for mills in Ceará. In total, 15 thousand tons of the product were shipped. According to the president of Porto Ponta do Félix, Gilberto Birkhan, the operation makes room for an increase in the movement of grains and cereals through the terminal. “The cabotage navigation is still little explored in Brazil, and it is a way of moving the wealth produced by agribusiness by maritime transport. This is a great option when the distance between origin and destination exceeds 1500 kilometers”, explains Birkhan.
