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 forms an integral part of Bahia's industrial infrastructure, connecting the Camaçari Industrial Complex with international trade routes.
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.
