Coal from the nearby mining region, fertiliser, salt, wood pulp, reefer produce and project pieces make up the cargo mix at Imbituba, the deep-south port of Santa Catarina. Run by the SCPar port authority, the harbour pairs a container terminal of under 400,000 TEU annual capacity with bulk, breakbulk and general-cargo berths across four quays. Imports lean toward paper, glass and liquid and dry bulks, while exports run to general and reefer cargo, bulk and cellulose. Lying about 290 nautical miles south-west of Santos, it works for forwarders as an overflow and specialist port with road and rail links inland. For pure container volumes the northern neighbours Itajaí, Navegantes and Itapoá, plus Paranaguá, are the obvious alternatives. Open yards and quick turnarounds suit project and breakbulk consignments.
