Itajaí PA to withdraw from operations

Following the privatisation path set by the port’s container terminal, Mr Ayres wants to enact more public-private partnerships throughout the port.

Meanwhile, a Shanghai Dredging Company-headed consortium has been contracted to undertake emergency dredging for the port of Itajaí in Brazil.

In all, 3.8m cu m of sediment, built up as a result of massive flooding at the end of last year, will be removed at a cost of $7.56m.
