PORT OF AÇU SETS HISTORICAL RECORD FOR CARGO MOVEMENT

The Port of Açu ended 2025 with a record 89 million tons handled, a 14% increase over 2024, solidifying its position as Brazil’s second-largest port by cargo volume. Growth was driven by oil, iron ore, and general cargo as part of a broader diversification strategy. In foreign trade, the port handled USD 16 billion, about 3% of Brazil’s total flow, with oil exports leading at USD 14.5 billion. The oil terminal set a new record with 220 million barrels exported, while the ore terminal moved 24 million tons. The multi-cargo terminal reached 2.1 million tons and expanded its client base to 77 customers. For 2026, the port expects continued growth, driven by new investments in energy, mining, agribusiness, and industry.
