The ports sector is responsible for the overwhelming majority of Brazil´s exports, with one of the lowest cargo transport costs. According to ANTAQ, the sector handled 900 million metric tons in 2012. Of this total, 332 million tons was iron ore (36.7%), 195 million tons was fuels and mineral oils (crude oil) (21.5%), and 87 million tons was containers (9,6%), making up 68% of the total exported. There are 34 public ports, both maritime and fluvial, as well as 42 private use terminals and three port complexes under concession to private enterprises. The predicted investment in the sector, in the coming years is R$7.5 billion.
