Shipbuilding has defined Niterói since the Mauá yard opened in 1845, and the port still lives mainly from marine repair and offshore support rather than line cargo. Set on the eastern shore of Guanabara Bay across from Rio de Janeiro, it hosts the bay's largest shipyard along with logistics bases such as Nitshore and NitPort serving the oil and gas sector. Regular container and bulk traffic is minimal here; since wheat imports ended in 2004 the focus has shifted to project cargo, platform modules and offshore supply. Quays handle equipment and stores for drilling and production units rather than scheduled box services. Road links and the bay bridge tie the port tightly into the Rio de Janeiro economy. For containers, bulk or routine customs clearance, the neighbouring ports of Rio de Janeiro and Itaguaí (Sepetiba) are the natural alternatives.
