The logistics company responsible for the operation, which included unloading, transporting, and storing the pieces, was TCP Log, a logistics subsidiary of TCP, the company that manages the Terminal.

The process lasted approximately 13 hours. There were 22 pieces weighing between 2,600 to 22,500 kilograms.

During the transfer operation from the ship to the dock, onboard cranes and TCP’s own equipment were used: two MHC cranes with a capacity of 100 tons and two reach stackers.

The transport to the warehouse was carried out with special trailers from the terminal’s own fleet, which can transport loads with excess dimensions and weights above 90 tons.

“TCP Log did all the prior planning, designing and simulating the entire operation to ensure there were no unforeseen events. In addition to our rigorous planning, we follow service level agreements (SLAs) that are aligned on a case-by-case basis, and at the end of each execution, we verify our efficiency through indicators,” explains TCP’s Commercial Vice-Director, Thomas Limas.

“The experience of our dedicated team for these operations, combined with our sensitivity to understand what truly matters to our clients, along with all their peculiarities, allows project cargo operations to proceed naturally and smoothly for us,” the executive adds.
