Portonave Operations Face Restrictions: Impacts on Foreign Trade and How to Prepare

The Port of Navegantes is currently operating under temporary limitations in its access channel.
These restrictions stem from the need for dredging and specific hydrological conditions that reduce the ideal depth for large vessel navigation.
This situation has led to significant logistical impacts, such as:
- Rescheduling of berthing windows;
- Possible delays in cargo handling;
- Changes in discharge ports, resulting in diversions to Itapoá and Itajaí;
- Increased demand for storage and adjustments to delivery deadlines.
For those involved in foreign trade, moments like this require careful planning and flexibility. It is essential to review clearance schedules, closely monitor berthing forecasts, and maintain constant communication with all involved.
At Modal Comex, we are closely monitoring the situation and assessing alternatives to mitigate impacts on our clients. Each operation has its own particularities, therefore, we remain available to develop customized solutions aligned with your logistics chain.
