The company Portos do Paraná started the maintenance of the structure and the operating system of the export corridor of the Port of Paranaguá (Correx). In this period when the new soybean crop is still growing in the field, the other end makes the necessary adjustments and improvements to meet the demand for runoff, which should intensify as of the end of February 2021, when the harvests begin. According to the Director of Operations for Portos do Paraná, Luiz Teixeira da Silva Júnior, maintenance has been prepared throughout the year because it involves hiring third-party companies, purchasing material, and other factors that require prior planning. The actions are coordinated by the Engineering and Maintenance (DIENGE) and Operations (DIOPORT) departments in partnership with AOCEP (the association of Paranaguá export corridor terminals) and ATEXP (the association of port operators of the Paranaguá Port export corridor. From January to November, around 19.46 million tons of grains and bran, mainly soybeans (13.34 million tons), were exported through the complex.
