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.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.

What looks like a giant cat sleeping at Hong Kong airport is actually 8 meters long, responds to visitors, and has become an unexpected attraction among passengers arriving without imagining what they will find.

Made from common salt and 50% cheaper than lithium, the new Chinese battery promises a range of 500 km and could revolutionize electric cars starting in 2026.
