JBS Terminals plans to invest R$ 250 million in the Port of Itajaí by mid-2025. The goal is to expand the terminal’s operations to over 100% of its pre-shutdown capacity by modernizing equipment and increasing storage space. According to Daniel Belisário, the company’s commercial director, JBS Terminals has already invested R$ 130 million in improvements and equipment purchases, including two new mobile cranes for loading and unloading ships, which are expected to enhance operations starting in February. With the arrival of the latest equipment, the Itajaí terminal is anticipated to recover the operational volumes reached before the shutdown, which were around 30,000 TEUs per month. The remaining R$120 million is being allocated to a new 25,000-square-meter area to expand storage, bringing the total port area to approximately 200,000 square meters (including public places).
