About Rio Grande
Rio Grande is the southernmost Brazilian container port and the gateway for Rio Grande do Sul, serving Porto Alegre and the agricultural south. It is the natural entry point for cargo that would otherwise face a very long road leg from Santos or Paranaguá. Agricultural bulk seasonality can affect container berth availability.

Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 22–28 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
