Portos do Paraná has authorized the start of maintenance and safety reinforcement works at the Public Liquid Bulk Pier (PPGL) at the Port of Paranaguá. Approximately R\$ 29 million will be invested in the execution of the project. The basic plan that supported the bidding process was developed in collaboration with the operators of the PPGL, considering the key needs aimed at improving the safety of operations at the site.

The works will also include the replacement of fenders (responsible for minimizing the impact of vessels during docking), the recovery of the entire pier's pavement, including vertical and horizontal signage, and improvements to the electrical system.
