RIO GRANDE DO SUL: THE HEIGHT OF THE GUAÍBA RIVER IS EXPECTED TO STABILIZE BUT THE PORT OF PORTO ALEGRE WILL REMAIN SUSPENDED

The Guaíba River’s water level surpassed the prediction, reaching 5.3 meters. As a result, the Porto Alegre port has ceased operations. The port administration has stated that the restrictions will endure if the consequences of the Guaíba Lake rise continue. Although stability is forecast, flood levels may still reach 5.5 meters. Normalization may take up to 30 days to achieve a level of less than 3 meters. Meanwhile, the other ports of Rio Grande do Sul continue to operate, with a particular emphasis on the ports of Rio Grande and Pelotas, which lie on the water flow path to the Atlantic Ocean.
