RIO GRANDE PORT AUTHORITY OPERATING NORMALLY; PORT OPERATIONS IN PELOTAS AND PORTO ALEGRE REMAIN DISRUPTED

The Port of Porto Alegre has ceased operations because of the high level of Lake Guaíba. Log shipments and other activities at the Pelotas port are halted. The Port of Rio Grande runs normally, with winds of 20.9 km/h and currents of 7.5 km/h to the Atlantic Ocean. To ensure safety, the draft has been decreased to 12.80 meters at the Bunge, Bianchini, and Termasa/Tergrasa terminals. The vehicle crossing to São José do Norte is operational, however, passenger travel is temporarily halted owing to rising water levels in Laguna dos Patos.
