With more than a century of history, the Port of Rio de Janeiro is one of the most traditional and important ports in Brazil. Located on the western coast of Guanabara Bay, in the heart of the city of Rio de Janeiro, the port plays a strategic role in the flow of cargo to the main industrial and commercial centers of the country and abroad.

Its operational area covers 1 million square meters, with 6.8 km of berthing quay distributed across 29 berths, with depths ranging from 10 to 15 meters. The port offers 17 open yards and 23 warehouses, enabling operations with a wide variety of cargo, including containers, steel products, wheat, zinc concentrate, pig iron, vehicles, solid and liquid bulk, as well as offshore support cargo.

Logistics integration is one of the major advantages of the Port of Rio de Janeiro. Rail access is ensured through the Arará Terminal, operated by railway networks with both broad and narrow gauge, connecting the port to the interior of Rio de Janeiro state and to the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. Road access is provided by the BR-040, BR-101, and BR-116 highways, as well as state routes such as RJ-071, with direct connection through Avenida Brasil and Avenida Portuária. Road improvements are currently underway to further increase efficiency in truck and cargo traffic.

Regarding maritime access, the port has wide and well-signaled channels, such as the Cotunduba Channel and the Santa Cruz Channel, which ensure safe navigation for large vessels. All operations follow the regulations of the Maritime Authority, with constant updates to safety and buoyage parameters.

With its privileged location, robust infrastructure, and efficient intermodal connectivity, the Port of Rio de Janeiro remains one of the country’s main logistics hubs. It is a strategic option for cargo handling both in the domestic market and on international routes, efficiently serving a wide range of economic sectors.
