According to Mr. Baker of the development corporation, some 9.65 million containers were shipped into the port complex in 2000.

No one monitors movements for the entire port complex.

Both ports creates one of the largest port complexes at the Baltic Sea.

The port complex consists of four harbors, three of them for pleasure boats and oceangoing vessels.

These ports, along with several other state, form the largest port complex in Brazil.

A multi-product special economic zone, including a urea manufacturing facility and an electrical power station, may be built in conjunction with the port complex.

The port complex occupies 1.15 km2 of land and 9.94 km2 of water along 7 km of waterfront.

The port complex will have important economic effects in terms of jobs, creation of added value and foreign investment.

Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, has the largest man-made harbour and port complex in the world.
