With the Receipt of the Security Certification from Conportos at the Port of Paranaguá, the Company Portos do Paraná Can Position the Complex Among the Best in the World in This Characteristic and Opens Up Space for New Enterprises in the Location

The National Public Security Commission at Ports, Terminals, and Navigable Routes (Conportos) granted the Port of Paranaguá, located in the state of Paraná, a security certification during last Thursday, (05/26). This document ensures that the structure of the complex is among the best in the world in this regard and elevates the quality of operations at the location, in addition to ensuring even more relevance for Portos do Paraná within the international port scenario.

Conportos Delivers a Security Certification to the Port of Paranaguá for the Quality of the Port Structure and the Cargo Handling Operations Conducted at the Complex

The company Portos do Paraná advances further concerning the structure of its port complexes and received a security certification from Conportos for the infrastructure and operations carried out at the Port of Paranaguá. This is a significant achievement within the port sector and grants the complex a quality seal, placing the port among the best in the world regarding operational quality with safety.

Although the installations of the Port of Paranaguá had already been approved by Conportos during the year 2021, the certification had not yet been delivered as the Declaration of Compliance was still pending, which attests to the safety of the Paraná port structure. Now, Portos do Paraná has finally received the document and has been able to place the Paraná complex among the best in the world.

With this, it guarantees not only this classification but also the gateway for new enterprises, as the certification ensures more credibility in the international market. Additionally, the security certification from Conportos has a total validity of 5 years, and until then, the Port of Paranaguá needs to continue investing in safety and infrastructure to maintain the document up to date.

Moreover, the document also ensures that the Port of Paranaguá complies with international parameters, such as the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code). This index analyzes assets, their vulnerabilities, consequences, threats that may affect the port, and ensures that the complex can carry out all operations with the best possible operational quality.

Conportos Security Certification Elevates the Port of Paranaguá to a New Level Within the International Port Scenario

With the receipt of the security certification from Conportos, the Port of Paranaguá now becomes part of a select group of ports that possess the document and is at the forefront of the international port sector. Thus, Portos do Paraná reaffirms its pursuit of technological and operational innovation to ensure not only more efficient productivity at the ports but also a high level of safety for cargo handling operations.

And after the delivery of the document, the Director of Environment and Acting President, João Paulo Ribeiro Santana, emphasized: “This certificate shows that the Port of Paranaguá is part of a select group of ports in Brazil and around the world that comply with international safety requirements and regulations, and confirms the great effort that all of us have made to be in accordance with these standards and regulations. We now have another certification that demonstrates excellence and the effort to be among the best always.”

Now, Portos do Paraná reaffirms its commitment to safety at its ports and will continue to invest in operational infrastructure to maintain the validity of the certification and seek the document for its other complexes in the state of Paraná.
