Strong growth in vessel calls at Port of Vitória

The second half of 2020 is encouraging for the Port of Vitória, which has been registering a steady growth in ship moorings. From January to June, 289 vessels accessed the Vitória channel, while in the third quarter (July, August, and September), 184 ships have already been recorded.

From June to September, there were 287 moorings, an increase of 54.3% compared to the first five months of 2020, and flags of 34 countries, such as Panama (36 ships) and Liberia (22), in addition to Brazil (90 – shipping) cabotage). The main products handled were solid and liquid bulk, fertilizers, and containers.

According to Leonardo Bianchi, CODESA’s Planning and Development Coordinator, with the new Atalaia Pier (berth 207) coming onstream, this will allow the Port of Vitória to receive a greater number of vessels without long waits, making it more competitive. “The Port of Vitória will serve a larger number of ships sailing from many countries, without reducing the level of service. Our expectation is for growth in the total number of moorings without any increase in waiting lines; this is an indicator of increased competitiveness vis-à-vis the port sector”, he stresses.
