In long-haul shipping (international exports and imports), the port achieved significant progress:

Exports: Growth in handling bagged sugar, molasses, and diesel oil.

Each semester, we achieve growth, which brings great satisfaction to the Port of Maceió Administration. We will continue to prioritize operational excellence and sound management to maintain this positive trajectory and achieve new milestones throughout 2025,” he stated.
