Brasil Terminal Portuário becomes the first container facility in the Port of Santos to acquire the technology

Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP), which operates a container terminal in the Port of Santos, in the Alemoa region, has acquired new equipment designed to use seawater to fight fires. The motor pump, as the new resource is called, was manufactured by the Brazilian company Germek, based in the interior of the state.

According to BTP, the acquisition allows the terminal to have greater autonomy, agility and safety in emergency situations. The entire team working on accidents, made up of firefighters, occupational safety technicians and firefighters, has been trained to use the new resource.

The acquisition of the motor pump is part of BTP’s plan to prevent and control risks and accidents of small, medium or large proportions in the port area.
