The port-industrial complex closed 2025 with 89 million tons moved, a 14% increase compared to the previous year and a record volume for the facility, which has shown an average annual growth of 26% over the last decade. The performance was driven primarily by the oil, iron ore, and general cargo segments, reinforcing the strategy of portfolio diversification. This result solidifies Açu, located in the northern part of Rio de Janeiro state, as Brazil's second-largest port in cargo handling.

Porto do Açu accounted for 3% of Brazil's foreign trade flow and moved approximately US$16 billion in 2025. Oil (US$14.5 billion) and iron ore (US$2 billion) led the export activities. The Oil Transshipment Terminal (T-Oil), operated by Vast Infraestrutura, set a record for crude oil shipments abroad, reaching 220 million barrels, consolidating its market leadership in this segment. Meanwhile, the Iron Ore Terminal, managed by Ferroport, handled 24 million tons during the year.

With diversification and an expanding client base, the Multi-Cargo Terminal (T-Mult) also achieved a historic record, moving 2.1 million tons—a 32% growth between 2016 and 2025. The terminal ended the year with 77 active clients and 25 different types of cargo, including steel billets, wheat, soybeans, locomotives, and corn.

According to Eugenio Figueiredo, CEO of Porto do Açu, these numbers reflect operational consistency and growing strategic relevance in the national scenario. "The results confirm our solidity, operational efficiency, and logistical integration. We have expanded our role as a strategic platform for foreign trade and as a hub supporting various production chains," he stated.

For 2026, the complex begins the year with advanced infrastructure projects and new investments already in place. "We have room to grow in a disciplined and strategic manner, whether in energy, mining, agribusiness, or industry. Our focus remains on generating long-term value for clients, partners, and the country," he concluded.
