Three 30,000-tonne grain silos, a 43-metre shiploader rated at 2,000 tonnes per hour and channel depths near 11 metres define the infrastructure of São Francisco do Sul, a leading agricultural export port on Santa Catarina's Babitonga Bay. The private TESC terminal drives much of this capacity, handling soybeans and maize in bulk and also shipping soy in containers. Alongside the public port, specialised terminals such as TGSC add dedicated bulk and liquid handling. The navigable channel lets the port work larger bulk carriers and feeder boxships. Cargo reaches the grain belt of Santa Catarina, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul via the BR-280 highway and rail links, with export and customs formalities processed by Brazil's Receita Federal. For shippers weighing options, nearby Itapoá and Itajaí cover container flows while Paranaguá serves heavy agricultural bulk.
