PORT OF SANTOS: WAREHOUSE BERTHS BEING DREDGED

Berths 12A to 20/2 at the Port of Santos are undergoing dredging to reach a depth of 15 meters, enhancing berthing conditions for six ships handling agricultural goods. With a budget of R$14.9 million, the project is expected to finish by June. It’s the port’s first project under the Growth Acceleration Program. Quay reinforcement was completed in 2017, but without dredging, ships faced draft restrictions. Additionally, plans include dredging the navigation channel to 16 meters, projected to start in October 2025 under a public-private partnership, aiming for completion by June 2026. These developments aim to boost port infrastructure and cargo movement.
