EXPORT
The shipping model for grains in Paraná, in pool system, is unique in Brazil. Load can be shipped simultaneously in the three mooring berths, which are exclusive for bulks, and a single ship can get goods from distinct producers – including the small ones. Another distinction is care for quality, so all bulks are assessed by Claspar – Paraná Products Classification Company.
* Six shiploaders (nominal capacity of 1.500 tons/hour)
* A vertical silo (100 thousand tons) and four horizontal (with a total capacity of 60 thousand tons)
* Eight interlinked, private and leased terminals,  with a global capacity of 1,025 million tons.
