From the colonial era onward, sugar, tobacco and coconut left Alagoas through Maceió, and raw sugar still defines the port today. Set in the natural Jaraguá basin, it works mainly as a bulk and general-cargo outlet, with container throughput typically well below 50,000 TEU. Sugar shipments head for markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, alongside petroleum products and minerals. Hinterland access runs over the Alagoas road network rather than rail. Bunkers and limited repair facilities are available on site. Forwarders needing container services or larger capacity in northeastern Brazil should look to Suape near Recife.
