The canal is currently active only during the day.<\/p>\n<p>State port operator Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ)\u2019s Waterway Accessibility Improvements at the Port of Rio de Janeiro workgroup coordinator Marcelo Villas-B\u00f4as said the biggest advantage to being open at night is lower costs for ship operators and cargo owners. Shipping costs are charged on an hourly basis.<\/p>\n<p>Villas-B\u00f4as said that if a vessel loaded with shipping containers docks at the port at night to load or unload cargo, it is forced to spend 8 to 12 hours on average before it can leave the facility. \u201cThis is bad for the port because activity stops at the quay during that time. It\u2019s bad for the port, it\u2019s bad for the city, because it impacts revenue and renders Rio de Janeiro less attractive as a cargo port option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For the port, increased frequency brings the additional advantage of being able to operate with ships that can leave at night, bringing up cargo capacity. This means the port will become more competitive and costs will be reduced. Preparations for nighttime activity involved modern nautical signaling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-272266\">T\u00e2nia Rego\/Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cotunduba Canal work hours will change to 24\/7 still this year, cutting costs to ship operators and cargo owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":272266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[15114,15110,15109,3188,15113,15116,15112,5743,15115],"class_list":{"0":"post-272269","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-24-7","9":"tag-armadores","10":"tag-armadores-rio","11":"tag-cargo","12":"tag-cotunduba-canal","13":"tag-marcelo-villas-boas-en","14":"tag-port-of-rio-de-janeiro","15":"tag-ship","16":"tag-shipping-container"},"wps_subtitle":"Cotunduba Canal work hours will change to 24\/7 still this year, cutting costs to ship operators and cargo owners.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
