CODEBA registers third-largest handling volume in its history

In October, CODEBA registered the third-largest cargo handling volume in the company’s history, moving 1,186,507 tons through the three public ports.  The 67.36% growth in general cargo was decisive for the milestone.

The month was also marked by the arrival of 28,000 tons of rails in the Port of Salvador. It was the first batch of rails destined for the works of the second stretch of the West-East Integration Railway (FIOL), which connects Caetité/BA and Barreiras/BA.  Handling also included the return of wood exports from the Port of Ilhéus to the Port of Aveiro, in Portugal. Operations with the commodity had been suspended because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
