Port of Santos establishes new rules for vessel moorings and access priorities

New mooring rules and access priorities for vessels to operate at the Port of Santos have been established. Resolution 59.2020, of April 24, changes the resolution of the defunct Portobrás that regulated the activity for more than 40 years. The new standards are already in place for when the VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) comes into operation.

Among the changes are a new plan for mooring vessels, with suggestions for arrangements for the various berths, including vessels that are 366 meters in length – known as LOA 366. The changes took into account technical reports and observations of best practices in mooring during the last year.

The new resolution provides for the inclusion of minimum movement, through a productivity table according to the type of cargo, generated from the operation statistics in public berths. Another change is the Virtual Mooring Requisition, which establishes that mooring demands are accepted only electronically, initially via e-mail, and later, via its own system.
