Infraestrutura
We were structured in the place called "Ponta da Divineia", one of the curves of the Itajaí-Açu River, based on a greenfield project, in other words we were planned since the beginning. We were the first to bring to Santa Catarina the ship-to-shore cranes – used specifically for handling containers.
