Apr, 01, 2026 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202614
The Port of Itajai received the Ro-Ro vessel Good Wood on March 30, unloading 430 luxury vehicles in an operation that underscores the terminal’s push to diversify cargo and rebuild momentum in 2026.
The operation took place with the port’s access channel fully navigable, ensuring safe navigation and continuity of port operations.
With the Good Wood call, the port has now handled three Ro-Ro vessels this year, totaling 1,515 vehicles moved. In addition to the latest operation, the Victoria Highway handled 628 units and the Dover Highway carried 457 vehicles.
The return of this type of operation reflects market confidence in the Port of Itajai and broadens the range of cargoes handled, reinforcing the terminal’s position as an efficient and strategic logistics alternative in Brazil.
“The handling of high-value vehicles reinforces market confidence in the Port of Itajai. We are making a strong comeback, with the channel fully navigable, expanding our operations and showing in practice that the public port has the capacity to attract new business, generate jobs and drive development in our region,” Port of Itajai Superintendent João Paulo Tavares Bastos said.
