Ports of Paraná are a port complex formed by Paranaguá and Antonina ports. The Board operates as a state public company under the Department of Infrastructure and Logistics of Parana State and  has a delegation covenant along with Federal Government.

As a public company, it is in charge of managing port terminals and is led by an Administration Council and an Executive Board. 

The current management model follows landlord guidelines, where the port authority is in charge of the port management and offers necessary structure for loads movement activities. Therefore, public power maintains facilities related to waterway access, evolution basin, road, rail and internal access. Private initiative is in charge of superstructure: equipment, warehouses and work force.
