On March 24, the Federal Police, the Federal Tax Authority, and the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) carried out an inspection of the containers at the Paranaguá Container Terminal (TCP).
The action stems from the work carried out in the context of Operation “30 Days at Sea 3.0”, by Interpol, which is carried out on several continents with the objective of preventing and combating maritime pollution committed on land, on inland waters, and at sea. One of the aims of this operation is to suppress the traffic of waste in the ports, especially the import or export of plastic, medical, and hazardous waste.
During the action, containers were identified as abandoned and assessed whether the cargo or its packaging could damage the environment.
