ITAJAÍ SHINES BRIGHT IN HISTORIC SEMESTER FOR PORTS NATIONWIDE

In the first half of 2025, Brazilian ports handled a record 653.7 million tons, up 1% from the previous year. The Port of Santos topped in tonnage with 67.9 million tons, while Itajaí was a national highlight, gaining 1,494.58% and processing 1.7 million tons after resuming operations suspended since 2022. The government credits the progress to increased commerce and investment in the sector. BRL 844 million has been allocated to renovate Itajaí by 2030, including dredging, structure, and construction of a cruise ship pier. The Port Authority of Itajaí will replace the provisional management of the Port Authority of Santos and provide greater autonomy.
