The Terminal In Aracruz Registers Its Best Year In Cargo Handling And Financial Results

In a landmark year, which celebrated its 45th anniversary, Portocel, strategically located in Aracruz, Espírito Santo, reached new levels of excellence. The terminal, known for its efficiency in logistics and port transport, saw a significant increase in its cargo handling, reaching a total of 6.65 million tons in 2023. This number represents a 6% growth compared to the previous year, establishing a new record for the port. In addition to the cargo volume, Portocel also celebrated its best financial result, with an Ebitda that exceeded 30% of the 2022 figures, and exemplary safety performance, achieving the lowest severity rate in its history.

Strategic Expansion And Diversification Of Cargo

In December, the terminal broke monthly records for cellulose handling, shipping 642.8 thousand tons, an increase of nearly 33% compared to the same period last year. Cellulose, with a total of 6.24 million tons handled during the year, was the flagship, benefiting from the operation of LD Celulose and the consistent exports from companies like Suzano, Cenibra, and Veracel. Additionally, Portocel handled 412 thousand tons of general cargo, including granite and steel products, demonstrating its versatile and efficient logistics management capacity.

In the last quarter of 2023, the port expanded its storage area by 60%, adding 300 thousand m² of space. This expansion opens doors for handling an even greater variety of products, such as coffee, fertilizers, vehicles, and other project cargo, reinforcing Aracruz’s role as a vital logistics hub in the region and attracting new businesses and partnerships.

Innovation And Sustainability As Pillars

The executive operations manager of Portocel, Alexandre Billot Mori, emphasizes the importance of innovation and sustainability in the terminal’s operations. The partnership with the Verbbruge terminal in the Netherlands for the operation of the automatic spreader is an example of the port’s commitment to technological innovation. This and other initiatives not only improve operational efficiency but also reinforce safety and sustainability in port operations.

Portocel is also exploring new fronts, such as the operation of a terminal in the Port of Santos and the beginning of fertilizer handling in partnership with Adufértil, projects that promise to further expand its capacity and service diversification. Such developments are accompanied by significant investments and the creation of direct and indirect jobs, contributing to local and regional economic development.

Recognitions And Future Prospects

The year 2023 was filled with recognitions for Portocel, including national and regional awards that highlighted its innovations in port technology and energy sustainability. These awards reflect the terminal’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and positive social impact in its community.

With an optimistic vision for the future, Portocel plans to continue expanding its partnerships and exploring new business opportunities. The terminal’s strategy aims not only to leverage results but also to maximize its cargo handling capacity in an innovative and sustainable manner. Portocel’s upward trajectory in 2023 establishes a strong precedent for its continued success, promising new milestones and significant contributions to the logistics sector and the region’s economy.
