Brazilian port rankings for first quarter of 2020

The Port of Santos continues to be the biggest Brazilian port for container imports as well as exports. A survey carried out by DataLiner in the first quarter of 2020 shows that Santos registered an 8.31% growth in container exports from January to March of this year when compared to the same period last year. When it comes to imports, the growth was much more modest, at 1.68%. The Port of Paranaguá is in second place in both exports and imports. In the first quarter of 2020, it exported 7.31% more TEUs year-on-year and imported 10.56% more.

But it is the activity in smaller ports that are drawing attention. The Port of Pecém, for example, registered a growth of 78.1% in container exports during the first three months of 2020 and a 38.73% increase in imports during the same period when compared to the first quarter of 2019.  On the other hand, exports via the Port of Imbituba fell 71.85% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, and imports fell 73.23% during the same period comparison.
