More investment for Antonina port

“We are currently awaiting funds from the federal government,” a spokesperson said, adding that the work schedule will depend on when the funding is released.

The bulk of the investment will go toward a Reais 100m maintenance dredging project, which will also benefit the neighbouring Port of Paranaguá.

APPA is also planning a Reais 30m project to extend Antonina’s wharf by 140 m, while Reais 15m will go towards demolition and removal of rocks from the port’s main canal.
