Portos do Paraná invested nearly R$ 162.6 million in refurbishing projects that were highly anticipated by the port community in 2021. In addition to the dredging, which is almost 75% complete, other projects focused on improving maritime, land, and access infrastructure. Among projects aimed at improving maritime infrastructure, maintenance dredging is a highlight, receiving an investment of BRL 32.13 million, as well as the construction of the mooring structure of berth 219, which is used for rolling cargo ships – Ro-Ro/PCC (R$28.2 million, 45% completed). On the pier, the drainage effort, which received a total investment of R$ 17.4 million, was carried out in five lots. The work included the adaptation and recovery of the rainwater drainage system by installing organic matter retention mechanisms and minimizing the load dumped in the galleries of the Port of Paranaguá. As of now, the projects that were concluded are the improvement of the nautic signaling at the maritime acesses (R$2.8 million) and the renewal of the structure of the Public Flammable Pier at the Port of Paranaguá, with an investment of R$28.25 million.
