Construction Works of Klabin’s Cargo Handling Terminal at the Port of Paranaguá Will Be Completed in 2022, According to the Company’s Projections

Klabin, a giant in the pulp production industry in the country, commented last Tuesday on the timeline for the completion of its new terminal at the Port of Paranaguá, stating that the works should be finished in early the second semester of 2022, so that cargo handling operations focused on this product can commence right after the terminal is delivered. 

The investment made by Klabin is estimated at around R$ 120 million, with an industrial unit in Telêmaco Borba, in the Campos Gerais region. After the start of the works in June 2021, the delivery of the terminal is getting closer. Klabin’s new terminal covers an area of 27,530 square meters and was acquired by the company in an auction held by Portos do Paraná in August 2019, with an initial contract expected for 25 years, which can be extended up to 45, should the company wish to continue managing cargo handling activities.

After two decades without new concessions at the Port of Paranaguá, the concession and delivery of the area being used for Klabin’s new terminal took place in 2020, and by 2021 the company sought all necessary permits to begin construction. Now, Klabin is getting closer to initiating its new venture in cargo handling focused on pulp exports directly from the country. 

Construction of the Terminal Is Well Advanced, and the President of the Port of Paranaguá Reaffirms the Complex’s Commitment to the Company’s New Cargo Handling Operations

According to the data from Klabin’s Director of Operational Planning, Logistics, and Supply, Sandro Ávila, the construction works of the company’s new terminal at the Port of Paranaguá are well advanced for the initial schedule. Thus, one of the main structures for the operations, the external rail access, is already practically completed, with a new loading area crossing Port Avenue, and the next steps are well underway on-site. 

With that, the President of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, comments on the importance of developing new cargo handling operations at the port and states that “Klabin, a large company, expects that this efficiency will be reflected in commercial advantage. Our duty is to assist in the development of the project and ensure that operations are conducted as efficiently as possible, whether for receiving cargo by land or for loading onto ships.”

The current phase of construction employs 180 workers, and thus, the construction project of the new terminal focused on pulp exports has been contributing to ensure more job opportunities for residents of the Port of Paranaguá region.
