About Paranaguá
Paranaguá serves the southern Brazilian states of Paraná and Santa Catarina and is best known for grain and agricultural bulk, with container handling alongside. It is the sensible gateway for consignees in the south, where routing through Santos would add a long road leg. Bulk seasonality can affect berth availability for container vessels.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 21–27 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
