About Itajaí
Itajaí serves Santa Catarina and is one of Brazil's main gateways for refrigerated exports, poultry in particular, so reefer equipment is generally easier to source here than at the larger southern ports. It sits on a river, and channel silting has periodically restricted vessel drafts. It is a shorter road leg than Santos for consignees in Santa Catarina.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 21–27 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
