Week 202027

The storm and strong gusts of wind that hit the coast of Paraná last Tuesday, June 30, caused several damages to the Port of Paranaguá. In addition to power outages and other disorders, two ship loaders from berth 204 were swept away by the force of the wind.

On Thursday, July 2, Paraná Ports reported that the activities of the Port of Paranaguá were back to normal. According to the port authority, all berths, with the exception of 204, are operational, with a regular flow of ships. The forecast is that berth 204 will be used again this Friday morning (3) when the storm-hit shiploader starts operating again.

Berth 214 operates with only one of two loading equipment. Shiploader number 6, also damaged by the force of the wind at the beginning of the week, should be restored by next Saturday, June 4.

At berth 200, fertilizer loading and unloading proceeds normally, as do operations on liquid piers: berths 142, 143, and 144.  The storm also caused minor damage at Antonina Port.
