To resolve the issue, 1 million cubic meters of sediment will be removed throughout the process in 180 days (deadline for completion). However, the company responsible for the works claims to finish in 40 days.

In this stretch, dredging 11 of the 17 kilometers of the canal is considered essential to maintain safe navigability.

In addition to the connection with the ports of Porto Alegre and Rio Grande, the canal also links 11 private terminals and five granted terminals, which in total move approximately 58 million tons per year.

Despite the downturn in the naval sector, the ports of Rio Grande do Sul experienced growth this year compared to 2019. In the first four months of this year, there was a growth of 4.89% compared to the same period last year, and it recorded the best April in the last five years (due to the movement of soybeans, logs, and chemical components).
