Sep, 22, 2020 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202039
How have the container terminals operating in Brazilian ports been doing in the face of economic jolts, mainly due to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic? To answer this question, the DatamarNews team researched DataLiner data to rank port terminals based on container handling, comparing the period from January to July 2020 with the same months of 2019.
In exports, the biggest highlight is BTP, which grew 38.2% in the first seven months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. On the opposite end of the scale is Santos Brasil, which despite occupying the third position in the ranking, fell 25.05 % in 2020 compared to 2019.
