Listed as a small harbour, Paranagua in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná is in practice one of the country's most important ports, moving more than 50 million tonnes a year and ranking as Brazil's second-largest grain-export gateway. Across the South Atlantic it ships above all soybeans and soybean meal, alongside corn, fertilisers and sugar. Unlike a pure bulk port, Paranagua also hosts TCP (Terminal de Contêineres de Paranaguá), the largest container terminal in South America, built for around 2.5 million TEU a year and able to work vessels up to 368 metres. A recently deepened approach admits larger ships, and the terminal has expanded reefer capacity for meat exports. Its hinterland — the farming regions of Paraná, Mato Grosso and neighbouring states — is served by road and rail. For forwarders Paranagua is both an agribulk port and a capable container hub, with Santos to the north and São Francisco do Sul and Itajaí/Navegantes to the south as the main alternatives.
