The São Luís Port Terminal (TPSL), managed by VLI – a logistics solutions company that operates railroads, ports, and terminals – recorded an increase in cargo throughput in 2022. Approximately 5.4 million tonnes of general cargo was transported, the largest volume since 2015, a year after the company started operating the terminal, with 4.9 million tonnes. The historic marker reflects the growth of activities in the North Corridor, which runs the outflow of grain production from Matopiba (Maranhao, Tocantins, Piaui, and Bahia), Mato Grosso, Pará, and Goiás through Port Terminal Sao Luis via the North-South Railroad (FNS). TPSL’s cargo mix includes mineral inputs and agribusiness cargo, with a focus on grains, specifically soybeans, and corn. The circulation of this type of cargo increased by 900 thousand tonnes in comparison to 2021.
