    Santos outperforms other Brazilian ports, despite a drop in overall throughput

    The Port of Santos had a cargo throughput of 62 million tons in the first half of this year.

    As a lingering consequence of the covid-19 pandemic and a slowdown of the Chinese economy, cargo throughput in Brazilian ports fell by 3.3% in the first half of the year compared to the same period of 2021. On the other hand, the Port of Santos recorded an increase of 5.6% over the same period. The data are included in a report published by Brazil’s National Waterway Transportation Agency (Antaq).
