The Itajaí and Navegantes port complex was authorized by the Brazilian Navy to carry out maneuvers with giant ships of up to 337 meters in length. Meanwhile, stevedores are calling for urgent measures regarding the coronavirus pandemic at the Port of Santos.

The approval allows the terminals to accommodate some of the largest ships to navigate the Brazilian coast.

The test maneuvers were conducted in the new evolution basin of the Itajaí and Navegantes ports, an area where the vessel makes a 180º turn in the Itajaí-Açu River.

According to Marcelo Salles, superintendent of the Port of Itajaí, the first maneuver with a large vessel is scheduled for May, inaugurating a new phase of testing in the new evolution basin.

Although maneuvers with ships of up to 306 meters (the current limit of the terminals) were conducted safely, which ensured the Navy’s approval, the area still lacks certification for large vessels.

This stage will begin with the arrival of the first ship over 330 meters.

Due to shipping companies using larger ships on some routes, the largest port in Santa Catarina, Portonave, in Navegantes, has been severely affected, missing 32 calls last year alone, which represents around 25,000 containers.

Until last month, eight ships that are part of the services operated by the terminal were unable to dock due to limitations on berthing parameters. At least 7,000 containers were not handled.

With the publication of Ordinance No. 32 and consequently the approval of night maneuvers for ships up to 306 meters in length, the Itajaí and Navegantes port complex significantly expands its operational range, thus increasing its cargo handling capacity and further enhancing its competitiveness with other ports in Brazil and Latin America.
