PORT OF SANTA CATARINA RANKS FIRST IN THE NATIONAL PORT PRODUCTIVITY

In Q1 this year, Portonave, located in Navegantes, topped the national port productivity chart by handling 319,300 TEUs and recording a ship productivity of 128.9 MPH. Despite investing BRL 1 billion in the expansion of one of its berths, the terminal has held its operation steady. In March, it handled 111.5 thousand TEUs and received 140 ships in the first quarter. The dock project, scheduled for January 2026, intends to accommodate bigger ships while focusing on environmental problems and monitoring measures to reduce damage. High productivity shortens the time ships spend in ports, lowering shipping expenses.
