With a focus on excellence, port security, and more efficient container inspection, two new Scanners debuted operations at Portonave. The equipment features advanced technology resources in addition to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Approximately R$ 25 million were invested in the acquisition and implementation.
The infrastructure, according to the company, is one of the most robust implemented in the port sector in Latin America.
Intended for the inspection of containers selected by the Brazilian Federal Revenue (RFB), the newly acquired Scanners are capable of generating high-definition images for customs analysis and technological tools in the assessment of goods. Manufactured by the Brazilian company VMI, each unit examines approximately 120 trucks per hour, with an average time of just 30 seconds.
Currently, with four Scanners, the Port Terminal has the capacity to inspect about four thousand trucks per day. All exports, empty containers, tanks, Customs Transit Declaration (DTAs), transshipment, and import cargo parameterized in the red channel are inspected.
For the operation of the new Scanners, a modern infrastructure was built at the terminal. The covered inspection lane is designed to ensure the continuous operation of the equipment, even under adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, and hail. With an investment of R$ 5 million, the structure facilitates the performance of preventive and corrective maintenance and offers greater operational efficiency.
The equipment complies with Norm 76 of the RFB’s General Coordination of Customs Administration (Coana) and is licensed by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), and was acquired through the “Reporto” tax regime, which encourages the development and modernization of national ports.
Reporto
Created by law in 2004, Reporto guarantees exemption from federal taxes so that companies in the port and railway sectors can acquire their equipment without having to pay import taxes, such as the Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI), the Import Tax (II), the PIS contribution, and the Cofins-Import.
