The Port of Imbituba (SC) maintained the growth curve of the last few months and set another operating record in September: 602,737 tons handled, which is the highest monthly result in its history. This is a growth of 42.7% in relation to September 2019. The previous record of 602,370 tons was in June this year. There were 26 berths in Imbituba last month. Soybeans, non-calcined coke, salt, containers and corn were the leading products handled, representing 78% of the total. Cellulose, urea, bituminous coal, malt, soda, fertilizer and food in big bags were also handled, in addition to the launch of a catamaran. From January to September, the Port of Imbituba has already handled more than 4.3 million tons. The forecast for the end of this year is to reach 6 million tons. The positive performance is mainly due to the port’s capacity to handle different types of cargo simultaneously.
