Cattalini Terminais Marítimos has increased the draft of the internal berth of its private pier, from 12 m to 12.5 m. After recent dredging campaigns, the new draft received formal approval from the Maritime and Port Authorities and Paranaguá Pilotage, Brazil, attesting to the safe conditions for ship manoeuvres.
‘With the increase in draft, operations at the Cattalini pier will be optimized, allowing greater balance of ship berthings between the internal and external berths, with agility and efficiency in the waiting time for dockings,’ says Carlos Katsuji Ichi, senior operational manager.
The Cattalini Terminais pier has two berths; an external one with a draft of 12.8 m and the internal berth now at 12.5 m. The structure has the capacity to accommodate ships measuring 229 m and 190 m in length, respectively.
