Terminal Marítimo Inácio Barbosa, Maritime terminal in Barra dos Coqueiros, Brazil.
Terminal Marítimo Inácio Barbosa is an offshore terminal in the Jatobá area of Barra dos Coqueiros, Sergipe, the state's only port terminal. Its berth lies 2,400 m off the coastline, sheltered by a 550 m artificial breakwater. On land, nine warehouses and two 63 m cement silos hold 55,000 tonnes, and the SE-226 links the site to the BR-101.
Construction of this port facility began in the mid-1980s as a partnership project between Petrobras and the state government of Sergipe. Operations started in the 1990s and have since become an important commercial link for the region.
Locals call it Porto da Barra dos Coqueiros or Porto de Sergipe, though its official name honours Inácio Barbosa. It is the only port terminal in Sergipe, and its jurisdiction runs from the mouth of the Sergipe River to the Alagoas border, including the Sergipe bank of the navigable São Francisco.
When visiting, keep in mind that this is an active working port facility with limited public access to most areas. It is best to check in advance about which sections may be viewable and what entry requirements apply.
