Record-breaking handling at Tecon Salvador for the third consecutive semester

The Container Terminal at the Port of Salvador (Tecon Salvador), operated by Wilson Sons, achieved the highest turnover in its history for the months of June and the first half of the year. In the first six months of the year, the increase took place for the third consecutive year and grew by almost 16% compared to 2021.

Imports set a new record in the same period, with 42,340 TEUs and also transshipment cargo, with 24,538 TEU. Cabotage, on the other hand, reached 38,510 TEUs handled, representing a growth of 20% compared to 2020.  The largest share of cargo in the period was due to chemical and petrochemical products, various polymers, in addition to pulp and paper.

Port operations play a very important role in the state’s economy. “An efficient port, with excellent operational standards like that of Salvador, favors business development and involves an extensive production chain”, reinforces the CEO of Tecon Salvador, Demir Lourenço. Tecon is undergoing a new expansion phase, with the docking of the pier and an additional 30,000 square meter retro area already completed.
