The Port of Paranaguá East Export Corridor (Corex) is undergoing maintenance. While the new soybean crop is still being harvested, the other end of the logistics chain is using the time to improve its structure and operating systems to meet the demand flow, which is expected to increase in March. “We started in November 2021, at berth 212, and we’re going to finish it now at the end of January. In December we made the adjustments to 213. We are currently at berth 214, the last in the Corridor”, says the Engineering Director of Portos do Paraná, André Cassanti Neto. In addition to the services provided in the hoppers, dumpers, and public silos, approximately BRL 15 million were invested in automation, as well as electrical and mechanical maintenance of all six lines, ship loaders, and substations. André Maragliano, director of the Association of Export Corridor Operators at the Port of Paranaguá (Atexp), stated that the corridor operators expect a very productive year.
