Ports Like The Port Of Paranaguá Have Become The Route For Ships Capable Of Carrying Up To 12 Thousand Containers
The ports of Paraná are consolidating as the route for large-capacity container ships in Latin America. In the last two months, the Container Terminal of Paranaguá received five vessels capable of carrying nearly 12 thousand twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). A sixth ship of this size is arriving at the Paraná terminal this Saturday (31).

Ships That Can Carry Up To 12 Thousand Containers
Initially, one of the largest ships docked at the Port Of Santos. The Kota Pusaka, flagged from Hong Kong and owned by the Asian carrier PIL, can carry up to 11,923 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units). The vessel docked at Tecon Santos, a container terminal managed by Santos Brasil on the Left Bank of the maritime complex in Guarujá.
The ship is 330 meters long and 48.2 meters wide. The cargo ship came from Asia and docked at the terminal to unload 2,923 TEU. After the operation, one of the largest ships in the world will set sail for the port of Paranaguá (PR).

First Time The Ship Kota Pusaka Docks At The Port Of Paranaguá
This is the first time the ship Kota Pusaka docks at the Port Of Paranaguá. The vessel is flagged from Hong Kong, measures 330 meters in length (LOA) with a width of 48.2 meters (beam), and is capable of carrying 11,923 container units (TEUs) as mentioned earlier.
According to Luiz Teixeira da Silva Júnior, the Operations Director of Ports of Paraná, ships with higher transportation capacity require infrastructure and operational efficiency, as well as a greater demand and cargo.
“It’s the gain in scale. By carrying more containers on a single ship, freight costs are reduced, which lowers expenses for users and, consequently, attracts more cargo to Paranaguá. The trend of larger ships coming in makes more exporters and importers seek the port to move their containers,” says the director.
