Responsible for 60% of all
the sea shipments in the State, the Harbor of
Aratu holds undeniable
importance in the economic process in Bahia,
since it supports the production outflow and
inflow of products to the Petrochemical site
in Camaçari, the Centro Industrial de
Aratu (Aratu Industrial Site) (CIA) and the Ford
Complex of Camaçari.
The movement
is related to all liquid and gas products and
solid bulks, as for instance the
copper and fertilizers concentrates. To handle
this cargo, the Harbor has an infrastructure
with four terminals: one for gas products (TPG),
with a crib of 180 meters; one for liquid bulks
(TGL), with two cribs which add up 340 meters,
and two for solid bulks (TGS), with three cribs,
with a total extension of 366 meters.
Nevertheless,
Codeba’s modernization policy
announces a new era for the Harbor of Aratu,
with equipment that is even more recent and will
increase the work agility and the flow of sea
crafts along with the management and distribution
of cargoes. The anticipated technologic advance
will place the harbor among the most modern ports
in the country.
