The modification was carried out as part of an agreement with Cargotec company Navis and is in line with Tecon Salvador’s multi-year infrastructure investment scheme.
Tecon Salvador is based in the Brazilian state of Bahia and currently handles 310,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo annually and around 60 moves per hour.
The terminal is well connected to the BR-324 highway, which offers traffic-free access for trucks entering the terminal and accelerates the overall cargo release time.
Tecon Salvador terminal managing director Demir Lourenço said: “Our goal is to offer the best possible service to our customers and the N4 terminal system was the only choice to help us achieve new levels of efficiency and productivity.
