A basin for handling barges has been excavated in the former Conchas Beach area belonging to the Terminal. It is equipped with two 10-meter-long link-spans.
- 3 Berths, being two for the handling of woodpulp and one for wood.
- 1 Dolphin to maneuver
- 6 m of deepness.
The terminal does not have equipment for unloading cargo. This operation is carried out using each vessel's onboard equipment.
The handling of pulp bales by the terminal is done through forklift trucks equipped with clamps, both for unloading trucks or train cars, with subsequent stacking and later transfer of the cargo by the sides of the ships.
For these operations, the terminal has:
- 60 forklift trucks with a capacity of 7.0 tonnes with clamps for pulp (owned by third parties)
- 8 sets of trucks with a capacity of 48 tonnes each.
- 8 sets of trucks with a capacity of 60 tonnes each.
- 4 towable flatbeds, with 48 tonnes capacity each.
- 4 hoppers for unloading salt
Portocel uses an Operating System that allows it to manage all of the processes related to the activities of the port. The different phases of the operation are handled by remote controllers or local stations, receiving instructions and confirming the execution of services.
This system controls the scheduling and berthing of the vessels, internal cargo movement, ship unloading and loading operations, stevedore records and inspections and oversight.
The system is linked to the Foreign Trade Integrated System (Siscomex), which integrates the related activities of the Foreign Trade Secretariat, the Federal Tax Secretariat and the Central Bank of Brazil via the Internet.
Operational records are collected electronically, using micro-data collection devices, and transmitted in real time to a database.
