The Public Sorting Yard at the Port of Paranaguá received a record number of trucks in 24 hours. From 7am on Tuesday (04) to 7am on Wednesday (05), 2,456 vehicles accessed the location where they remain to await the unloading of solid export bulk. Despite the intense flow, this reception took place in an orderly manner and without any queues.
More than half (57.6%) of the trucks that entered the sorting yard in those 24 hours were loaded with soy. A total of 1,414 vehicles unloaded grain at the Port of Paranaguá terminals during the period. 548 trucks were received loaded with corn, and another 494 vehicles with soybean meal.

“This is the largest number of trucks ever received at the marshalling yard in a single day”, says the CEO of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia. In addition to the quantity, according to him, the time spent on site also stands out.
“The performance of the terminals in receiving and unloading these trucks is also very good. This month of July, the average time truck drivers spend at the yard is six hours and forty-three minutes”, adds Garcia.
FLOW - The marshalling yard has the static capacity to receive around a thousand trucks. On site, all grain and bran that arrives for unloading at the Port of Paranaguá's export terminals is classified and has its quality certified by the company hired by the Association of Terminals of the Eastern Corridor of the Port of Paranaguá (Atexp).
According to the Director of Operations at Portos do Paraná, Gabriel Vieira, the logistics of receiving cargo upon arrival in the city are designed with organization and control in mind. “We don’t have queues. We work with scheduling windows for trucks, controlling the flow of vehicles through daily quotas at terminals, within a management system called Cargo On Line”, he states.
Also according to Vieira, Portos do Paraná is permanently attentive to the performance of each terminal. This control is carried out by a “meter”, which evaluates the unloading performance of each terminal and, based on this, controls the registration of trucks for each unloading location. “We control the number of vehicles on the access road to the terminals. The algorithms developed by the Carga On Line system analyze and control this flow of trucks from origin to unloading”, says the director.
