Portonave aiming to reduce carrier dwell time

The Portonave terminal, in the Port of Itajai, has said it is investing in technology and process improvements to optimize and reduce carriers’ dwell time inside the Terminal. This time considers arrival at the gate as well as loading or discharging in the container stack and then leaving the terminal. In 2015, the average time was 33 minutes. In 2020 it fell to 21 minutes – 36% less than five years earlier.

Another novelty is waht is known as a double cycle. Through this tool, the customer can schedule two containers (incoming and outgoing) at the same scheduling time, that is, in the same window, the driver deposits one container and removes another without leaving the Terminal. The benefit brings operational agility; less time to deliver and remove two containers from the Terminal; and, of course, cost reduction for the customer – he will be able to work two loads with the same truck driver.

It is worth remembering that the Navegantes Port Terminal has an area of ​​400 thousand m², static capacity for 30 thousand TEUs and 900 meters of pier.
