BRAZIL’S IMBITUBA PORT RAMPS UP CAPACITY FOLLOWING HEAVY INVESTMENT CYCLE

In 2025, the Port of Imbituba recorded major operational and infrastructure advances that expanded its logistics capacity. Authorization from the Brazilian Navy allowed trial maneuvers with container ships up to 366 meters, enabling the port to receive larger vessels. The year marked the largest investment cycle in its history, led by more than R$115 million for the expansion and reinforcement of Berth 3, which will grow from 200 to 335 meters, alongside upgrades to Berths 1 and 2. Additional public investments may exceed R$300 million. A new delegation agreement unified the management of the ports of Imbituba and Laguna for 25 years. The port also expanded shipping services, inaugurated a new data center, and handled nearly 5.8 million tonnes of cargo by November, with strong growth in containers and transshipment.
