5. Rio Grande
Privileged for its geographical aspects, the Port of Rio Grande has strong performance in the extreme south of Brazil, being among the most important ports in the American continent in terms of productivity, offering agile and quality services.

Another great advantage of the Port of Rio Grande is the availability of diversiÞed and well-distributed modal networks in the territory of Rio Grande do Sul. With an excellent offer of transport infrastructures, including the road, waterway, rail and airport modes, the paths that lead to the gaucho port are in a state of conservation considered one of the best on the national scene. The multimodality of the Port of Rio Grande is an important factor in reducing costs and increasing logistical efficiency, adding greater value to the goods that pass through its facilities. more info: www.portosrs.com.br
