Strategic Location
Maranhão is a state in northeastern Brazil that has become an essential player in the country’s economy due to its strategic location and two significant seaports. The Port of Itaqui and the Port of Ponta da Madeira are two crucial gateways for the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, as well as for international trade.
The Port of Itaqui is a public port operated by the state government of Maranhão and serves as the primary gateway for the state’s exports. It has modern infrastructure, capable of handling large vessels, making it an attractive option for companies looking to transport their goods efficiently.
On the other hand, the Port of Ponta da Madeira, owned by Vale S.A., is the largest iron ore export terminal in the world. It has a capacity of 230 million tons per year and is responsible for a significant portion of the state’s GDP.
Furthermore, both ports have undergone significant modernization and expansion projects in recent years, making them even more efficient and increasing their capacity to handle larger volumes of cargo. These investments have made Maranhão an even more attractive destination for investors looking to take advantage of the state’s strategic location and excellent infrastructure.
