Pioneers at Río Paraguay
The success story of Terport
The Río Paraguay rises in Brazil, flows through Bolivia and Paraguay before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean in Argentina. It is one of the most important rivers for transportation and logistics within South America. A network of ports is located along the river as it meanders southward with a long history - the locals call it "water that goes to water". One of the most successful pioneers of container handling in the region is port operator Ricardo dos Santos, Executive Director of Terport San Antonio and Villeta. At both ports, Terport relies on Liebherr cranes.
"It is key for Paraguay to have the best possible supply chain for exports and imports in order to compete with economies that have sea access.
And it is key for the success of the company, to be the best connection between Paraguay and the world.
To achieve this target, Terport is a pioneer in the use of new and innovative technologies."
Ricardo dos Santos, Executive Director of Terport
FCC 280 - The innovative low weight multi-tool
A key factor for the success of the terminal is the fast and smooth transfer between ship and truck - a job being done by two Liebherr FCC 280. A special highlight of the cranes is that they are powered by onshore electricity and thus operate with local zero emissions.
-
Balanced movements
due to the wide boom head
-
Good maintenance options
due to the closed box-boom design with flat surfaces
-
More safety during crane operations
due to the double acting cylinders
-
Longer life cycle of the crane
due to the protected components inside the crane
-
Small footprint of the crane
due to the fixed pedestal

"The very first FCC in Paraguay – this is how the successful cooperation between Liebherr and Terport began. Since then, the volume of container handling in the region has risen sharply.
A large outreach and a reliable performance are the customer's needs, which is the success formular of our FCC series. Accordingly, we look forward to continuing to work closely with our great partner Terport."

"Terport is a family company, placing high value in developing long-lasting relationships with our business partners.
This is our second port and we have done a lot of things differently, but we have stuck to one thing: We have once again chosen Liebherr cranes."
Ricardo dos Santos, Executive Director of Terport
Future success
Paraguay is a steadily growing country. Already, the Terport Villeta Terminal handles large volumes of Paraguay's total container traffic. Taking into account the increasing trade volume, container handling will increase even further in the coming years.
From the very beginning, the port was designed to operate with up to four fixed cargo cranes at the pier. With the installation of two more cranes to follow in the next few years, more containers will be handled at the port.
