Preliminary cargo handling data reveals that the Port of Santos achieved another historic milestone in June 2023: the highest cargo throughput ever recorded at the São Paulo-based terminal with over 15.6 million tonnes. This achievement beat the previous record set earlier this year in March, which stood at 15.32 million tonnes. The significance of this accomplishment extends beyond June, as it also shattered the previous throughput record for the entire first half of the year, up 0.9% from the same period last year. The cumulative cargo handling between January and June reached a remarkable 81.4 million tonnes, surpassing last year’s figures of 80.7 million tonnes. Detailed analysis indicates that loading operations accounted for approximately 12 million tonnes, while unloading operations amounted to 3.5 million tonnes.
