“Considering the current circumstances faced by the Port of Itajaí throughout this year, even without container cargo operations, we still had a balanced performance in terms of general cargo operations. There were no interruptions in its operations, which included vessels carrying cellulose, Roll On Roll Off (unloading of vehicles imported from BMW and GM), and operations with shipments of iron bars, profiled bars, steel coils, sugar, and fertilizers. For the year 2024, we expect many new developments regarding the return of container cargo operations in the leased area, and thus, our port will once again rank among the top ports in Santa Catarina and the country,” emphasized the Superintendent of the Port of Itajaí, Fábio da Veiga.

As for other Private Use Terminals (TUPs), Braskarne recorded a throughput of 29,397 tonnes in December and 86,228 tonnes in the annual total. Meanwhile, the TEPORTI terminal showed a throughput of 6,771 tonnes in the same month and 122,651 in 2023.
