The Rio de Janeiro Port Authority (CDRJ), which runs the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Itaguaí, Niterói and Angra dos Reis, registered a 14.5% increase in revenues in 2019,growth in revenue. Total sales exceeded R$ 500m, an all-time record for the company.

According to figures released by CDRj’s Market Intelligence and Statistics Management, revenues were R$ 64m higher than 2018 (December 2019 revenues were estimated).

In the Port of Itaguaí alone, revenue grew 26.7%. The increase was driven by larger volumes moved by steel company Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) combined with a rise in the price of iron ore and the stronger dollar. Another important factor was the handling of dry bulk cargoes at the Sepetiba Tecon terminal, a container operator. Total amount of those cargoes moved added up to 660,000 tons.
