Porto de Aratu, Industrial port in Candeias, Brazil.

Porto de Aratu is an industrial facility in the Bay of Todos-os-Santos with four specialized cargo terminals. The operation spans six berths and handles liquid, gaseous, and solid bulk materials for regional and international trade.

The facility opened in 1975 with the arrival of the vessel Guanabara. Since then it has grown into a key transfer point for maritime supply to the industrial region.

The port's name comes from the Aratu Industrial Center, created on 11 April 1966, which the harbor was built to serve. Its four terminals are named by cargo type: TPG for gases with a 180-metre berth, TGL for liquids with two berths totalling 340 metres, and two TGS solid-bulk terminals with three berths over 366 metres. The Companhia das Docas do Estado da Bahia (Codeba) administers it.

The site is not open to visitors as it is an active industrial facility with strict security requirements. You can observe operations from nearby vantage points or from the surrounding shores.

The facility processes the majority of Bahia state's maritime cargo, making it central to the region's export economy. The large terminal areas allow simultaneous handling of multiple raw material types.
