With the receipt of security certification from Conportos to the Port of Paranaguá, the company Portos do Paraná manages to place the complex among the best in the world in this characteristic and opens space for new developments in the place

The National Commission for Public Safety in Ports, Terminals and Waterways (Conportos) granted the Port of Paranaguá, located in the state of Paraná, a safety certification last Thursday (26/05). This document guarantees that the structure of the complex is one of the world's best in this regard and raises the quality of local operations, in addition to ensuring that Portos do Paraná is even more relevant within the international port scenario. 

Conportos gives the Port of Paranaguá a safety certification for the quality of the port structure and cargo handling operations carried out in the complex 

The company Portos do Paraná advances even further in relation to the structure of its port complexes and received a safety certification from Conportos for the infrastructure and operations carried out in the Port of Paranaguá. This is a feat of great importance within the port sector and guarantees the complex a seal of quality, placing the port among the best in the world in terms of safe operational quality. 

Although the facilities at 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 missing, which attests to the safety of the port structure in Paraná. Now, Portos do Paraná has finally received the document and managed to place the Paraná complex among one of the best in the world.

With this, it guarantees not only this classification, but also the gateway to new ventures, since certification guarantees more credibility in the international market. In addition, Conportos' security certification is valid for a total of 5 years and, until then, the Port of Paranaguá needs to continue investing in security and infrastructure in order to keep the document up to date.

In addition, the document also guarantees that the Port of Paranaguá complies with international standards, such as the International Code for the Protection of Ships and Port Facilities (ISPS Code). This index analyzes the 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 places the Port of Paranaguá on a new level within the international port scenario

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

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

Now, Portos do Paraná reaffirms its commitment to security in 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.
