Port activity in Porto Velho has experienced a significant surge, with a 77% increase in cargo volume during the first four months of this year. The port’s management released the balance sheet that reveals that between January and April of this year, the port at the Rondônia capital had a nearly 752,000 tonnes cargo throughput compared to 424,000 tonnes during the same period last year. The transportation of soy, vehicles, corn, sugar, and wooden containers constituted the majority of the cargo handled in the first four months of the year. These products have contributed to the overall increase in port activity numbers, demonstrating the importance of these sectors for the region. The Society of Ports and Waterways of the State of Rondônia (Soph) underscored the significant growth recorded in 2023, nearly double the previous year’s figures.
