On April 4, the board of the Port of Imbituba signed authorizations for the selection process to choose which companies will execute three important enhancement works at the port complex: the demolition of seabed rock at Pier 1, the implementation of dolphins on Pier 2, and the purchase of two road scales. The works and acquisitions will require R$ 11.2 million to leverage the port’s operational capacity. The implementation of a mooring dolphin in Pier 2, along with the removal of the seabed rock in Pier 1, will allow the stay of three ships simultaneously in the port, going from the current 660 meters of the continuous area throughout the two berths to 710 meters. In addition, the acquisition of new road scales and automation of the entire existing system will streamline the load-weighing flow. Currently, the Port Authority owns four scales.
