To Expand The Capacity To Respond To Disasters And Spills, The Port Of Paranaguá Inaugurated A Modern Emergency Center, With An Investment Of R$ 27 Million.

The Port of Paranaguá, one of the main port complexes in Brazil, received R$ 27 million in investments to strengthen its safety and emergency response infrastructure. The ceremony took place last Friday (11), held at the pier with the presence of authorities and representatives from the port community.

The initiative modernized the former Environmental Protection Center, which is now called the Emergency Readiness and Response Center (CPRE), focusing on enhancing operations in cases of fires, chemical spills, fuel accidents, and animal rescues.

The new structure was presented as a milestone for the Paraná port system. With over 1,100 m², the CPRE now features state-of-the-art equipment, a trained team available 24 hours a day, and a set of protocols that allow for a quick and effective response to critical situations.

New Equipment Makes Responses Faster And More Specialized

Among the advancements brought by the investments in the CPRE is the acquisition of a modern Water Tank Fire Truck (ABT), with the capacity to store 11,600 liters of water and 400 liters of chemical foam, along with a monitor nozzle that can discharge up to 3,785 liters per minute — including the possibility of using seawater.

This vehicle is similar to those used by military corporations and will be operated by a team trained full-time.

“Portos do Paraná has designated a company that is on standby 24 hours a day. Should there be a need for significant support, the Fire Department will be mobilized,” explained Lieutenant Colonel Fabrício Frazatto dos Santos, who also highlighted the role of firefighters in larger incidents.

Moreover, the center is equipped with special protective clothing for operations in chemical product spills, containment and absorption barriers, oil skimmers, mobile tanks, vessels, and even ATVs for interventions in hard-to-access areas, such as sandy stretches.

Civil Defense And Wildlife Protection Also Gain Space

The new Emergency Readiness and Response Center at the Port of Paranaguá also houses the headquarters of the 6th Regional Action Nucleus (NAR) of Civil Defense.

This branch of the State Coordination provides direct support to coastal municipalities, guiding on preventive actions and recovery in cases of natural disasters or accidents.

The structure also includes an exclusive space for wildlife de-oiling, which conducts the rescue and rehabilitation of animals contaminated by oil or other substances.

The location is equipped with an outpatient clinic, a decontamination room, a rehabilitation area, a kitchen, and a laundry — all designed to provide complete and prompt treatment.

Port Of Paranaguá Consolidates As The Most Sustainable In The Country

The state secretary for Sustainable Development, Rafael Greca, emphasized the symbolism and environmental importance of the port’s modernization: “Since 1935, the Port of Paranaguá has been our pride. But more than our pride, it is now the most sustainable port in Brazil; it is the glory of the great name of Paraná.”

The investment of R$ 27 million reinforces the state government’s proposal to transform the Port of Paranaguá into a model of sustainability, safety, and logistical innovation.

With the expansion of emergency response capacity, the terminal advances not only in competitiveness but also in social and environmental responsibility.

With over 85 years of history, the Port of Paranaguá has been consolidating its position as one of the most efficient ports in Latin America.

The new investments in the CPRE mark another stage in the modernization of the terminal, strengthening the confidence of logistics operators, exporters, and the community itself.

The expectation is that the new structure will increase the capacity for risk prevention and mitigation, benefiting not only the port but the entire logistics chain of the state of Paraná.

This transformation reaffirms the commitment to operational excellence, environmental safety, and the well-being of the population.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Researchers in the U.S. have created a flying robot that transforms into a land vehicle while still in the air. The technology, based on aerodynamic transition, converts landing into a scene worthy of Transformers and redefines mobility between sky and ground.

With 12 towers without right angles, the US$ 35.24 million construction of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has become a global reference for eliminating traditional walls to transform the way students learn.

With a height of 102 meters, 9 spheres with a diameter of 18 meters connected to 20 metal tubes, the giant building inspired by iron crystal impresses visitors and features an observation deck with a 360-degree view of Brussels.

GoodWe and Becker Dairy reduce consumption by 70% with a solar system and generate savings of over R$ 200,000 in a project with 75 kW HT inverters and more than 400 photovoltaic modules.

Scientists use sawdust mixed with clay to create a lighter brick, promising efficient thermal insulation and impressing by transforming waste into a solution for construction.

A rare storm transformed part of the Gulf into an unlikely scene of hail, extreme rain, and tornado risk in the middle of the desert, with volumes that exceeded the annual average in a single day.

Brazil catches the world’s attention with ships powered by ethanol and biodiesel that have lower emissions, an unprecedented certification with advantages in chartering, and a revolution in cabotage.
