The Port Authority that manages the Ports of Rio de Janeiro, Itaguaí, Niterói, and Angra dos Reis, Companhia Docas do Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ), started 2022 with a good financial and operational performance. The company ended the month of January with revenues of BRL 64.3 million, an increase of BRL 22.9 million when compared to December 2021, 55.4%. January 2022 revenues were boosted by iron ore export terminals, which provided BRL 40.5 million (63.0%) to the total of the month. Figures show that the Port of Rio de Janeiro had significant revenues of BRL 17.8 million, surpassing by 3.9% the average billed for the whole year of 2021, a direct reflection of the growth in container handling, the main cargo at the port. Other highlights can be attributed to the movement of crude iron, with an increase of 0.094 million tons (183.4%), and to steel products, which reached 0.086 million tons (142.6%), compared to January last year.
