Cargo throughput at ports in Brazil’s Southeast region reached 575.5 million tonnes between January and October 2025, according to data from the National Waterway Transport Agency (Antaq). The volume represents growth of 4.97% compared with the same period in 2024, keeping the Southeast as Brazil’s main logistics hub and the region handling the largest cargo volumes in the national port system. Regional performance was mainly supported by dry bulk cargoes, which totalled 299.7 million tonnes, up 4.20% year on year. Liquid bulk reached 187.3 million tonnes, posting growth of 7.74%, largely driven by the movement of crude oil and derivatives. Containerized cargo accounted for 60 million tonnes, an increase of 2.17%, while general cargo reached 28.6 million tonnes, up 1.60% compared with 2024.
