The logistics solutions of TCP – the company that manages the Paranaguá Container Terminal – are optimizing the logistics chain for pulp and paper exporters and attracting new customers. In the first half of 2019, the segment grew by 32.06% at the Terminal.

The scenario has been positive for the pulp sector in Brazil. According to a survey of the Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá), the sector’s exports increased 10.7% in 2018, reaching 15.8m tons manufactured. And the expectation is that the market will continue to grow in the coming years. Projects aimed at expanding plantations, factories, and new units are in the order of 14bn by 2020.

The positive customer experience is one of the cornerstones of TCP’s operations. To this end, the Terminal’s commercial and logistics team seeks to design solutions that meet individual needs throughout the process.

Alexandre Rubio, the company’s Commercial Director, explains that TCP has the most complete portfolio to serve the pulp and paper industry, including rail transportation, export warehousing, and the entire terminal structure. “TCP also offers container or break bulk export, which transports non-containerized cargo. In addition, the entire operation is done in the primary area of Port, making the operation up to 20% cheaper for the customer, as we have reduced the number of links in the logistics chain,” he says.

TCP’s pulp and paper customers include Klabin, Eldorado Celulose, BO Paper and Suzano.
