Located in Barra dos Coqueiros, Sergipe, the Inácio Barbosa Maritime Terminal (TMIB) operated by VLI has seen a 60% increase in cargo volume from new commercial contracts signed in 2023, primarily in the fertilizers sector. As a result, Sergipe’s only port terminal is solidifying its role as an alternative for the agribusiness sector in the ‘Arco Norte’ region. The flexibility of TMIB also allows cargo operations involving grains, construction materials, mining inputs, and offshore operations. “The TMIB has become a strategic option to meet the demand for fertilizers, placing Sergipe and the Northeast region on important logistics routes. The market looks for competitiveness, operational performance, offloading rates, and reduced waiting times in the queue for berthing, which leads to cost savings with demurrage. The terminal offers better conditions than competing ports in other states,” explains Márcio Marques, Commercial Manager of VLI for TMIB.
