The Port of Santos handled a record 179.8 million tons in 2024, up 3.8% from 2023. The Port Authority of Santos (APS) and Ecovias plan to reduce road and rail traffic during the grain harvest peak in March. APS plans to boost rail freight to 100 million tons annually, with Cubatão City Hall monitoring traffic impacts. In Santos, Seporte will invest BRL 15 million to improve access to Alemoa Industrial, starting this semester. The Ecovias’ collaboration involves building two viaducts at the city’s entry and the Perimetral Avenue project, which will connect the airport to the Santos-Guarujá tunnel, supported by a BRL 500 million investment from the New PAC.
