Port of Imbituba added to regular Brazil-Russia shipping service
Jun, 12, 2026 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202624
The Port of Imbituba, in Santa Catarina, has been added to a new regular shipping route between Brazil and Russia, with sailings every two weeks. The service is operated by Russia’s FESCO Transportation Group and expands logistics options for Brazilian foreign trade, particularly for containerized cargo.
The new route connects Brazilian ports with Russian terminals through strategic calls, allowing the movement of industrial goods, food products, chemical inputs and other cargo traded between the two countries.
Despite its recent connection with Russia, container throughput data obtained by Datamar shows that the Port of Imbituba remains heavily concentrated on logistics links with other countries in the Americas, especially Colombia and the United States. The chart below shows the 10 countries that sent or received the most containers through the Port of Imbituba in the first four months of 2026, according to Datamar:

The new maritime connection also comes alongside investments in infrastructure and operating capacity at the port complex. Imbituba has been receiving funds for modernization works, including improvements to the breakwater and projects designed to increase logistics efficiency and make the terminal more competitive.
For the port authority, the new service creates an opportunity to diversify markets, expand options for exporters and importers and strengthen Imbituba’s role in global trade chains.
