About Salvador
Salvador is the container gateway for Bahia and the Brazilian Northeast, closer to Europe than the southern ports and a shorter sea leg as a result. It serves the Camaçari petrochemical complex and the region's manufacturing. The terminal sits within the city, so inland trucking at the port end is short.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Salvador — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 18–24 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage.
