Port of Vitoria shows recovery with 23% growth in June

Throughput at the Port of Vitória in June presented the best monthly result of 2020 at 620,000 tons.  This is 23.3% higher than in June 2019. According to port authority Codesa, the data shows the beginning of a recovery in cargo flow at the port after the impact of Covid-19 on the global economy.

Two items drove the increase in cargo volume at the Port of Vitória in June: solid bulk (pig iron and fertilizers) and liquid bulk (fuels and caustic soda) with growth of 59.2% (110,2000 tonnes) and 37.9% (17,300 tonnes), respectively, compared to the same month last year.

“June was the best monthly result for 2020 and well above the same month last year. This fact, together with the indicators that Codesa has been tracking, points to a growth trend in cargo handling for the second semester. Thus, we believe that the negative effect caused by the pandemic on cargo handling in Porto Vitória will be less from now on. In other words, the worst is over, ”said Leonardo Bianchi, head of Codesa’s Planning and Development Coordination (COPLAD).
