Work has started at TCP’s new berth

Since 2011 TCP has invested US$51m in new equipment that came into operation in March 2012, including two post-Panamax Liebherr quay cranes, that increased capacity from 800,000 teu to the present 1.2m teu

Funded by TCP’s shareholders: Advent International, Group Maritim TCBarcelona, Pattac Empreendimentos e Participações, TUC Participações Portuárias S, Soifer Participações Societárias Ltda., and Galigrain S.A. an investment of US$140m has been earmarked for construction of the 315 m long berth and US$110m for equipment including four Super post-Panamax quay cranes and six RTGs. This will allow TCP to receive the largest container ships operating in international trade and increase terminal capacity to 1.5m teu/year by the end of 2013 when the works are completed

\”This investment aims to equate TCP with the best international container terminals,” said Luiz Antonio Alves, CEO of TCP.
