Last week, two vehicle-carrying ships arrived at the port of Itajaí. The first, from Argentina, brought 1,070 vehicles from General Motors. The second, from Mexico, arrived on the 27/12 with 397 Tracker and Equinox units. All in all, since June 2018, 31 vessel calls have been registered and the number of imported vehicles has exceeded the 36,400 unit mark.

“This year we expanded the general cargo movement and next year we will intensify it even more, creating a very interesting mix of cargoes for the port. This ensures work for the port worker, the carrier, the forwarder, the shipping agent, and the whole city benefits as a result”, said the superintendent of the Itajaí port, Marcelo Werner Salles.

After unloading and inspection, the cars are driven to customs clearance areas and sent by car haulers to their responsible dealers.
