Representatives of the Rio de Janeiro Port Authority (Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro), the Brazilian Navy and the Rio de Janeiro Pilotage agreed on the conditions for 367-meter vessels to call at the Sepetiba Tecon terminal in the Port of Itaguaí.
The vessels are 52 meters wide and can carry up to 14,000 TEU. The Sepetiba Tecon terminal allows vessels with a draft of up to 15.4 meters, one of the deepest on the east coast of South America.
Dredging in the anchorage area, the turning basin and at the berths made the approval possible. In addition, docking simulations were carried out at the Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies (MITAGS), in the United States.
