Wilson Sons terminals in Brazil handle increased box volumes

Wilson Sons, a port and marine logistics provider in Brazil, reported a significant increase in container terminal volumes in October.

Brazil’s Rio Grande Container Terminal (RS) and Salvador Container Terminal (BA), which can handle some of the world’s largest ships in the world, recorded a 26.5% increase in aggregated volumes last month compared to October 2022.

According to Wilson Sons, a total of 103,000 TEUs were handled by the two terminals in October, while 870,000 TEUs were handled in the first 10 months of the year, translating to a year-over-year 14% increase.

Transshipment and shifting activities climbed 131% in October at the Rio Grande Container Terminal, which handles the main shipping lines that connect the South and the rest of Brazil to significant international markets.

Rio Grande, Brazil’s most automated terminal, also saw a considerable rise in exports. The increase was 34% due to increased resin and wood quantities. Imports increased by 25%, owing to increased amounts of resins, chemicals, and parts and pieces. As a consequence, overall volumes at Rio Grande surged 37% over the same time in 2022, reaching 63,000 TEUs.

In addition, Salvador Container Terminal, which connects Brazil’s north and northeast to global trade, also fared well, processing a record 40,000 TEUs in October. Total volumes increased by 13%, owing mostly to increased transshipment and import and export shifts.

“We are seeing robust growth at our terminals, which reflects the commitment to the continuous improvement of our operating excellence. Our purpose is to serve our clients while pursuing long-term sustainable development oriented to the creation of value for our stakeholders,” stated Fernando Salek, CEO of Wilson Sons.
