Itaguaí, Port city in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil
Itaguaí is a port city in Rio de Janeiro State located along Sepetiba Bay. The area features multiple loading terminals and port facilities that handle cargo transport by ship and rail.
The city was founded in 1688 as a small settlement and later transformed during the 20th century. Major port construction in the 1980s turned it into a significant industrial hub.
Local churches and religious traditions form an important part of community life in the city. Residents and visitors can experience these connections during local celebrations and daily rhythms.
The city is located west of Rio de Janeiro and connects to neighboring areas through well-maintained roads. As a residential area, it offers shops and services for daily needs.
A specialized railway bridge connects mainland mines directly to loading terminals on a nearby island, allowing cargo to reach ocean vessels efficiently. This engineering solution demonstrates how the port was designed to streamline industrial operations.
