Transport and supply logistics are fundamental to Brazil's economic activities, essentially import and export. In this sense, the main Brazilian ports play an essential role, since they are the main channels of entry and exit of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Brazil is a country bathed by seas and oceans, the waterway sector is the most used in these two segments, both as exports and imports. The vast majority of cargoes that leave the country and go to economic partners go by ships, as well as those that arrive also go through the same modality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for goods to reach the ports, it is necessary to have a well-organized transport logistics, together with the producing sectors, such as agribusiness and industries, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logistics of supplying these ports, and the withdrawal of products at these locations, depend on two transport segments: railroads and highways. These modes are very important for the goods to leave the productive sectors and reach the main Brazilian ports, making this transition to exports, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exchange is essential, including for the growth of transport modes, essentially rail. As the main function of the cargo railroads is the supply of inputs, and the ports are major terminals for this supply, the railroads have a certain degree of dependence on national ports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you to know more about the national ports, their importance, several curiosities, the railroads that supply these ports and much more, we have separated a list with the 10 main Brazilian ports, and we will give all the details below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before listing the main Brazilian ports, we will make a brief note on the data related to port handling in Brazil, involving all national ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Brazil, there are a total of 175 port facilities, including cargo ports, maritime terminals and waterway accommodations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

. Regarding data on the movement of goods in ports, the numbers are impressive. Only from January to July 2020, for example, 221.15 million tons of cargo were handled within Brazilian ports, essentially in the main Brazilian ports, an increase of 4.48% in relation to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this period, according to ANTAQ (National Waterway Transport Agency), they were, in order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Solid bulk - 60.75%<\/li>
  2. Containers - 19.89%<\/li>
  3. Liquid bulk - 14.59%<\/li>
  4. Loose Load - 4.77%<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Now, we will now talk about the main Brazilian ports, taking several important points to decide which are essentially the size, the importance for the Brazilian economy and the goods handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Port of Vit\u00f3ria (ES)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Port<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The first port on the list of main Brazilian ports is the Port of Vit\u00f3ria, located in the city of Vit\u00f3ria, in the state of Esp\u00edrito Santo. It was created in 1906 and, currently, its stocks are owned by Companhia Docas do Esp\u00edrito Santo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This port has an important participation in the total cargo handling throughout the country, representing 1.57% in 2020, according to ANTAQ. During this period, more than 3.57 million tons of cargo were handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Due to the importance of the Port of Vit\u00f3ria, it needs a large transport fleet for supply, such as highways and railroads. In this sense, access to the port by the railroads is made by the Estrada de Ferro Vit\u00f3ria a Minas - EFVM, by Vale S.A., and by the Ferrovia Centro-Atl\u00e2ntica S.A., in the Central-East network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Port of S\u00e3o Francisco do Sul <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Port<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Following our list of main Brazilian ports, we have the Port of S\u00e3o Francisco do Sul, located in Babitonga Bay, in S\u00e3o Francisco do Sul, coastal city of Santa Catarina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2020, the port handled a total of 7.16 million tons of cargo, representing 3.24% of all port handling in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The port is supplied by the S\u00e3o Francisco Line railroad, which has operations controlled by the RUMO logistics company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Port of Santar\u00e9m<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Port of Santar\u00e9m, located in the city of Santar\u00e9m, in Par\u00e1, was opened on February 11, 1974, with a total length of 520 meters, also being one of the main Brazilian ports, and is constantly growing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Until 2007, for example, it was the 23rd in the list of the largest port movements in the country. In 2020, however, it occupied the 8th position in this ranking, with 9.17 million tons transported, representing 4.15% of the total movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The loads that predominate this movement are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
