Paranagua (BRPNG)

Paranagua handles mainly soya beans, wheat, pellets, fertilisers, salt, mineral ores, vehicles, sugar, paper and timber. The port has two combination tanker/LPG terminals, a container and vehicle terminal. The harbour area includes both public, private and leased berths. The Main Quay is connected by a complex system silos and conveyors located behind Berth areas 201 to 214 (The Port of Paranagua Export Corridor Compound). All the berths with most berths usually being used by more than one Company and controlled via a central master system operated by Port of Paranagua (Administraзгo dos Portos de Paranaguб e Antonina or APPA). All loaded grain trucks entering the Port area pass through a Monitoring Yard where grain quality is assessed before storage and loading on to ships. Up to 1,000 trucks can be processed in one day. The port of Antonina (also known as Barao de Teffe) is accessed via the Paranagua River and is situated 14nm upstream from Paranagua. See separate entry.

Summer.

Paranagua is located at the S edge of Paranagua Bay, approx 27km from the bar and 100km by highway from Curitiba, the state capital.

LOA 366m, beam 51.2m, draught 13.3m, 202,562DWT.

Approx 66,770,000t of cargo, 1,600,000TEU, and 2,000 vessels handled annually.

Vessels may anchor in up to 12 specific locations as indicated on current Navigation Charts for the area. Depths are as follows: ..... Anchorage Maximum Depth Notes No: (m) 1. and 2A. - For barges. 2. 11.28 - 3. 6.10 - 4. 7.01 - 5. 11.28 - 6. 12.5 East End 11.28 West End 7. 10.06 - 8. 8.28 - 9. 10.06 - 10. - For barges only (transporting to and from offshore structures and platforms). 11. 9.14 - 12. (South Atlantic) 17 Varies from 12m to 17m (only for used by vessels authorised by ECTM). Evolution (turning) Basin: An area intended for vessels to manoeuvre, with an approximate width of 700m along the extension from the Terminal de Petroleiros to the wharfs of the port. There are three areas, A, B and C with their Northern boundaries formed by the 10m contour line, westwards of Pedra da Palangana. Depths vary from 8.53m up to 12.7m.

Vessels should obtain up to date local information on depths in channels and basins, as reported depths may change due to siltation. Dredged approach channels are not safe for navigation during times of high winds. The approach to the port of Paranagua lies in the W branch of Paranagua Bay, 12nm WNW of Ponta das Conchas. The main access channel to the ports of Paranagua and Antonina is the Galheta Channel, which has a maximum depth of 13.3m and is approx 20.0nm in length. Reportedly, the channel is due to be dredged to a depth of 16.0m, width 200m, for a length of 6km. Note, Galheta Channel is subject to silting and depths may be less than stated. The SE channel may be used as an alternative for smaller vessels up to a draught of 6.0m. The maximum official draught for crossing the bar is 9.5m during Springs and 8.8m during Neaps. Three Turning Basins are indicated on Charts as A, B and C. Each section is 500m wide and run parallel to the Commercial Quay area. Turning basin depths are between 8.53m to 12.7m with a width of 500m.

Pilotage is compulsory. Vessels should send request for Pilot 24 hours and 3 hours in advance. Pilot boards in position at 25°38.63'S 48°15.10'W. Pilots maintain watch on VHF Ch 16, 14 and 12. The Pilot Station can be contacted on VHF Ch 06.

The port area covers the port shore installations in Paranagua Bay, from Pontal do Sul and extending to the Nhundiarquara River mouth.

The main wharf: Manoeuvring area is 700m wide and extends along the whole length of Paranagua Wharf, within this area. The max speed is in the harbour area is 8kts. Vessels close to the max authorised draught should only be moved from 2 hours before HW. Between berth Nos 1 to 13 vessels with a draught near 10.7m should only be moved by tug. The Petroleum Terminal: On internal berth manoeuvring only takes place on out going tide with slight current. Night berthing only with agreement of pilot/master and with sufficient berth lighting available. Export Corridor Berths: Night navigation only for vessels up to 11.7m draught.

Mean spring range approx 1.7m, mean neap range approx 0.3m. At springs, the flood tidal stream off the port attains a rate of 0.75kt and the ebb stream has a rate of up to 2.4kts. At neaps the flood and ebb currents tidal streams attain a rate of approx 0.75kt.

There are 6 tugs with bollard pull ranging from 16-33t operated by Cia Nav das Lagosi, Saveiros Camuyranos and Metalnave. Their use for berthing, unberthing and changing berth is governed by the port captain's Regulations. Tug assistance is compulsory for vessels with a draught greater than 9.4m when navigating in the channel. Larger craft may also be employed in fire fighting and salvage operations offshore. The use of tugs is obligatory for berthing and unberthing. The number of tugs to be used are decided by the port captain and pilot.

See Brazilian marine weather service webpage (https://www.mar.mil.br/dhn/chm/meteo/info/transmissoesing.htm) This Network is known as National Coastal Radio Stations Network (RENEC), operated by Brazilian Telecommunication Company, Embratel, and offers free communication facilities for messages concerning the safety of human life at sea such as: Distress calls, urgent medical advice, notices to mariners, meteorological messages, etc. The network comprises of 39 stations along the coast of Brazil and in the Amazon River, distributed as follows: ..... 1. One main station at Rio de Janeiro (PPR), with facilities available for communication via radio telegraphy (WT) and radio telephony (RT), with vessels sailing in almost every sea and ocean. 2. Three regional stations located at Belem (PPL), Olinda (PPO) and Rio Grande (PPJ), able to communicate via WT and RT with vessels up to approx 600nm distant. 3. Three local stations at Manaus (PPM), Santarem (PPT) and Itajai (PPC) responsible for communications via RT with vessels approx 200nm distant. 4. Seven restricted local stations at Santos (PPS), Paranagua (PPG), Porto Alegre (PPP), Vitoria (PPV), Natal (PPN), Fortaleza (PPF) and Salvador (PPA) able to communicate via RT with vessels sailing in the immediate vicinity. 5. The remaining 25 stations handle local RT communications.
