In February, the Port of Imbituba maintained the strong trend of the previous month and registered an increase in cargo handling. In the period, 391,000 tons were transported, 11.7% more than in February 2020. Compared to the first two months of last year, the volume reached in 2021 is 15.2% higher.
The public port served 17 ships in February for loading and unloading a varied cargo portfolio, in addition to the reception of the Hydroceanographic Ship (NHo) TAURUS, of the Brazilian Navy, and the departure of the train – ferry Z MAX XX + tugboat C TUFÃO – with electrical cables. Coke, iron ore, containers, and bituminous coal were the products with the highest operating volumes in tons.
For the CEO of SCPAR Porto de Imbituba, Fábio Riera, “the strong performance reflects the market’s confidence in the services that the port and the port community of Imbituba offer”. Riera points out that the perspective is to maintain growth and reach a new handling record in 2021. “We already have confirmed shipments of agricultural and mineral bulk, for example, which reinforce the positive expectation of operational performance for this year”, he concludes.
