The Port of Santos (in Portuguese : Porto de Santos ) is located in the city of Santos , state of São Paulo , Brazil . As of 2006, it is the busiest container port in Latin America .
It possesses a wide variety of cargo handling terminals—solid and liquid bulk, containers , and general loads. It is Brazil 's leading port in container traffic. The terrestrial access system to the port is made up by the Anchieta and Imigrantes highways and by the railroads operated by Ferroban and MRS.
