There Was a 7.2% Increase in Movements in the First Half of 2020 at the Port of Rio de Janeiro. Numbers Above Expectations Despite Economic Recession

3.747 million tons, that was the mark reached by the Port of Rio de Janeiro, according to the Rio de Janeiro Port Authority (CDRJ) in a report released to the press this Monday (20). A record of 250 thousand tons was registered, an increase of 7.2% compared to the first half of 2019. It is worth noting that the Port is celebrating its 110th anniversary today.

Movements of Pig Iron and Wheat Contributed to This Record at the Port

According to the report, pig iron achieved an export volume of 867 thousand tons, representing a growth of 54.5% over the first half of 2019.

Wheat also stood out in these numbers, as the Wheat Terminal of Rio de Janeiro (TTRJ), incorporated into the Port, started operations this year and handled about 204 thousand tons of the grain.
