With the Six New Silos Scheduled for Delivery in the Second Half of the Year, Porto Ponta do Félix Will Achieve an Even More Efficient Infrastructure for Storing Cargoes Such as Barley, Malt, and Wheat

Located in the Antonina region on the coast of Paraná, Porto Ponta do Félix announced during this past Monday, (05/02), a new investment in the location. Thus, a total of R$ 45 million will be invested to improve the cargo storage infrastructure and build six new silos, focusing on operations with products such as barley, malt, and wheat throughout 2022.

Investment of R$ 45 Million in Construction Works for New Silos Will Ensure Porto Ponta do Félix High-Quality Infrastructure for Diverse Cargo Operations

The management of Porto Ponta do Félix announced a new infrastructure investment package that will be carried out over this first semester at the location. Within this plan, a total of R$ 45 million will be invested to construct six new cargo storage silos. Furthermore, each silo will have a static capacity of 6,700 tons, totaling 40,000 tons which will be essential for operations in the Paraná complex.

The investment package also includes plans for an expansion of the port area to achieve an even more suitable infrastructure for cargo storage and transportation operations. Therefore, a new warehouse for fertilizers will also be constructed over an area of 17,000 square meters, with a capacity of 120,000 tons. The current infrastructure covers 65,000 square meters, with an estimated static capacity of 270,000 tons in total.

Infrastructure Plan Focusing on the Construction of New Silos Will Be Essential to Maintain Partnerships with Companies That Signed Long-Term Contracts

Several companies had already signed long-term preliminary contracts with the management of Porto Ponta do Félix over the last few months. Thus, the construction of the new silos will preferentially serve these companies over a total period of 10 years for cargo storage. The companies in question are the breweries Petrópolis, from Rio de Janeiro, manufacturer of various beer brands, including Petra and Itaipava; and the Uruguayan Barley, a malt supplier.

Consequently, the president of Porto Ponta do Félix, Gilberto Birkhan, commented on the investment and emphasized the pursuit of improvements and modernization of cargo storage operations. The executive stated, “The investments are focused on equipment, with the installation of concrete silos, which allow for lower impact from external temperatures on the quality of the stored products. In this way, we promote the integrity of the products and gain in quality of what reaches the producers.”

Porto Ponta do Félix achieved significant results during 2021, and the construction of the new silos will be essential to continue this growth. Thus, there was an expansion of its operations portfolio, improvements in maritime structure, and investments in expansion works that ensured more than 70% growth in 2021.
