Efficiency surges for Brazilian port powerhouse
At Porto Itapoa of Brazil, the goal was to increase efficiency to handle 2 million containers per year. Read this customer story to learn how HPE Alletra 9000 and HPE Synergy resulted in massive boosts to efficiency in support of this goal.
What improvements has Porto Itapoá made to its infrastructure?
Porto Itapoá has modernized its data and computing infrastructure, which has significantly increased its container handling capacity and overall efficiency. This upgrade has led to a 67% increase in daily gate transactions and positioned the terminal to handle 2 million containers per year, up from just 500 in 2017.
How has the new infrastructure affected container handling?
The implementation of HPE Alletra 9060 and HPE Synergy 480 has enhanced the performance of key systems, allowing for faster berth planning and decision-making. This has resulted in the ability to handle approximately 2,000 trucks daily and improved the terminal's global efficiency ranking from 60th to 58th according to the World Bank's 2022 Container Port Performance Index.
What future growth plans does Porto Itapoá have?
Porto Itapoá aims to deepen access to the channel of Babitonga Bay to accommodate larger vessels that currently bypass Brazilian ports. The terminal is on track to reach a capacity of 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) by around 2026, having already achieved nearly 1 million TEUs in capacity, which will enhance its attractiveness as a primary port of call for international shipping.
