The docking of the ship “Cielo Rosso” at the pier of Cattalini Terminais Marítimos on May 18, represented two important brands for the company. With a length of 228 meters (LOA) and a draft of 12.5 meters, the ship is the largest to operate on Cattalini’s private pier in the 40 years of the company’s history and the first to use the capacity provided by the external berth. The Liberian-flagged vessel is unloading 19,500 cubic meters of diesel oil. The investments made by Cattalini in the last few months have enabled safe and effective operating conditions for receiving larger ships. The mooring structure has undergone recent works and is prepared to receive ships of up to 70,000 DWT and 229 meters in length, with the replacement of maritime fenders and the construction of new dolphins. Among the improvements is the adoption of an unprecedented tool at the Port of Paranaguá, which, during mooring, informs the crew of the speed and the distance to the mooring berth fenders. There is also a kind of traffic light with green, red, and yellow indicator lights on the site, which guides the operations and can be viewed from a distance.
