Port Detail

Market structure

Petrobras historically dominated bunker supply; deregulation has opened the market to private-sector suppliers. Product is mainly domestically refined with some import.

Estuary operations

The port extends inland along the estuary; bunker barges operate at various berths. The estuary can have strong currents affecting manoeuvring.

Regulatory environment

Brazilian customs, tax (ICMS), and environmental rules apply. Bunker suppliers handle most of this but vessel agents should confirm documentation.

Operational notes

Summer thunderstorms (December-March) occasionally delay operations.
