The volume of cargo handled in the ports of Paraná has already exceeded 38.67 million tons. The running total from January to August this year is 8.4% higher than that recorded in the same period in 2019, when 35.65 million tons were transported. “We have handled almost 73% of this so far, and expectations are really good. If we sustain the same average handling from September to December, we should end 2020 with a new record”, says Luiz Fernando Garcia, the CEO of Ports of Paraná. In August alone, 5.37 million tons of products were handled in the Ports of Paraná, by 2.27% more than that registered in the same month in 2019. Almost 67% of the cargo handled in 2020 in the ports of Paranaguá and Antonina were of dry bulk. Liquid bulk accounted for 12% of export and import cargo, up 5% when compared to 2019.
