With the Maritime Authority, Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) ratified, the Normative Instrument for Operational Parameters nº 14.001.03, in force since September 11th. The standard establishes container ships with LOA of 340m, breadth of 50m, and draft of 14.70m – which can reach 15.40m with the use of tide – as a regular maneuver of the Sepetiba Tecon Terminal, in the Port of Itaguaí. In addition, as a special maneuver, the terminal is also able to receive mega-ships with an LOA of 367m.
According to Alexandre Neves, Superintendent of Port Management of Itaguaí and Angra dos Reis of CDRJ, “with this, the Sepetiba Tecon Terminal in the Port of Itaguaí, now has the best draft conditions on the east coast of South America and the forecast is that new lines will use the terminal and, consequently, container handling will increase”.
Also according to information from the superintendent, the operational parameters were changed as a result of investments made by the Sepetiba Tecon Terminal – CSN in dredging works in the evolution basin, maneuver área, and mooring berths at the terminal.
