In January 2024, the Port Terminal began the Quay Improvement Project, an investment of R$ 1.5 billion to accommodate vessels up to 400 meters long with a river depth of 17 meters, and to install modern, higher-capacity cranes. With the new investments, the current capacity of 1.5 million TEUs will increase to 2 million TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit).
