In July 2025, the Port of Santos surpassed 17 million tonnes of cargo handled for the first time in its history, marking a record high amid a resurgence in exports, possibly triggered by U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods. Vessel traffic to Europe and the U.S. increased notably. Solid bulk rose 10% (900,000 tonnes), containerized cargo grew 4% (200,000 tonnes), and breakbulk increased 9% (85,000 tonnes). Liquid bulk is expected to rise 10%. APS president Anderson Pomini emphasized that this “record of records” highlights Santos’ strategic importance during critical moments. Despite weather-related disruptions, operations remained incident-free throughout July. Final numbers are still being compiled across over 50 terminals, but operational data already confirms the record.
