Shallow river draft rather than deep-sea berths defines Pelotas: with a channel of roughly 5 metres on the Canal São Gonçalo, it suits barges and small craft rather than ocean vessels. Set within Rio Grande do Sul's rice-growing belt, it mainly serves agricultural and regional cargo, while containerised and bulk deep-sea traffic moves through the nearby deep-water Port of Rio Grande. For larger consignments, customs clearance and liner connections, Rio Grande and the river port of Porto Alegre are the relevant options. In practical terms, Pelotas is a local, barge-oriented link within the wider Rio Grande port complex rather than a standalone seaport.
