Portonave Announced an Investment of R$ 1.5 Billion by 2026 to Modernize Terminal in SC. Terminal Will Receive 400-Meter Vessels and Calls for Improvements on Highways Such as BR-101 and BR-470.

Portonave, a terminal of containers located in Navegantes (SC), announced a robust investment of approximately R$ 1.5 billion by 2026. The funding will be allocated to the expansion of the dock and the acquisition of new equipment, allowing the reception of vessels up to 400 meters long — a milestone for the national port sector and essential for maintaining competitiveness against the growth of global maritime transport.

Expansion Necessary for the New Generation of Vessels

With the global trend of ever-larger container ships, Portonave’s investment is considered strategic for adapting to the new international logistics reality.

“Adapting to receive larger vessels is an inevitable investment,” highlighted Osmari de Castilho Ribas, the administrative superintendent of Portonave.

Portonave Maintains Leadership Even with Ongoing Works

Despite the operational limitations caused by expansion works on half of the dock, Portonave recorded in 2024 a movement of 1.2 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), with only a 5% reduction compared to the previous year.

This performance places the terminal among the three largest in Brazil in the segment of long-haul full containers, with a 12% national market share.

In Santa Catarina, the highlight is even greater: Portonave leads with a 48% state market share in this segment.

History and Global Operation of Portonave

Since its inauguration in October 2007, Portonave has established itself as the first private container port terminal in Brazil, operating from the northern coast of Santa Catarina.

Today, it is part of the Swiss group Terminal Investment Limited (TiL), which manages about 70 terminals across five continents.

The company maintains a trajectory of constant evolution, focusing on professional qualification and investments in infrastructure as pillars to ensure operational excellence and international competitiveness.

With the new billion-dollar investment, Portonave is preparing for a new phase in its journey, focusing on technology, sustainability, and logistical connectivity.

Expectations are that, with the implemented improvements, the terminal will be even more aligned with the demands of the global market and contribute to the economic development of Santa Catarina and Brazil.

History and Global Operation of Portonave

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

A mother who worked as a recycler took money from her own food to put credit on her daughter’s broken-screen cell phone; now Débora has been accepted into medical school at two universities and wants to save hearts in the operating room.

The government opens the budget to pay pensions and ends up targeting precisely the FAB’s Gripen fighter jet; the reason for the R$ 800 million block reveals a fragility that has haunted the country’s defense projects for decades.

A property that once had more than 1,000 hectares now operates with 73 hectares and invests in coffee, cattle, photovoltaic energy, and hydroponic corn to prove that a small farm can also be profitable.

A potato-shaped object over a mountain and orbs multiplying in the sky are among the 72 new files from the Department of Defense that do not prove extraterrestrial life.

Family struggling with the electricity bill at the end of the month finds an air conditioner that consumes little and costs only R$ 21 per month; LG device cools the room 40% faster and also comes with a detail that grabs attention.
