Sepetiba Tecon Terminal has started a pilot operation for vehicles after 15 years without roll-on/roll-off operations in the Port of Itaguaí. From October 9 to 13, the port received 40 stork trucks daily. On October 18, the ship Gral San Martin docked to board 900 vehicles (Nissan) and unload 600 vehicles (Fiat).

Itaguaí and Angra dos Reis Port Management Superintendent, Alexandre Neves, highlights the importance of moving vehicles back in the Port of Itaguaí: “This way we expand the scenario of import and export cargo handling that was associated especially with bulk and iron ore.”
