The port is equipped with deep berths that accommodate Panamax and post-Panamax vessels, and its connection to the North-South railway network makes it an important part of Brazil’s intermodal freight system. It also benefits from road links to agribusiness production areas. Key shipping lines and logistics operators such as Vale, VLI, Bunge, and Petrobras regularly operate in and out of Itaqui. Its strategic location on the Atlantic coast allows easy access to international markets in Europe, North America, and Asia. Itaqui is vital for Brazil’s grain export infrastructure and has grown steadily due to investments in modernization, automation, and logistics support services designed to expand its throughput capacity.
