In
order to meet the needs of our ship owners, we also operate some
Brazilian public ports, mainly the public ports of Fortaleza, in
the state of Ceará (container, general cargo and cargo in
bulk) and of Santos, in the state of São Paulo (vehicles).
In Fortaleza, we carry out the port operations of load and unload
of containers in the public dock of the Mucuripe Port, as well as
the port operations of load and unload of general cargo and cargo
in bulk, specifically paper and coke in bulk. In 2006, we transported
10,468 containers and 210,434 tons of general cargo and cargo in
bulk in Fortaleza. In contrast, our operations in Santos consist
exclusively of the loading and unloading of vehicles. In 2006, we
transported a total of 147,823 tons of vehicles or 111,449 vehicles.
