According to Seatrade-Maritime, Brazilian ports have been operating at full capacity recently.

Since March 2025, 55% of ships have been delayed at major ports in Brazil, with containers staying for an average of more than 40 hours, especially at the Port of Santos, where the stay is as long as 10 days. This phenomenon also indirectly affects bulk carriers. Brazil is also the world's largest soybean producer and exporter, as well as China's largest soybean supplier. This situation directly affects key supply chains and commodity exports.

据Seatrade-Maritime消息称，近日，巴西港口已经满负荷运转。

2025年3月以来，巴西主要的港口，有55%的船只出现了延误，集装箱的平均停留超过40小时，尤其是桑托斯港（SANTOS），停留时间长达10天，此现象也间接影响散货船，巴西还是世界上最大的大豆生产国和出口国，也是中国最大的大豆供应国，该状况直接影响到关键供应链和大宗商品出口。

China is an important partner of Brazil. According to the data of the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database, Brazil's exports to China exceeded US$94 billion last year. Santos Port is the largest seaport in Brazil and even in South America. It not only occupies an important geographical position, but also is a very key node in the maritime trade between China and Brazil. In this issue, we will focus on the Santos Port.

中国作为巴西重要的合作伙伴，根据联合国商品贸易统计数据库的数据，去年巴西对华出口额超过940亿美元。而桑托斯港（SANTOS）是巴西乃至南美最大的海港，不仅在地理上占据重要位置，在中巴的海上贸易中也是一个非常关键的节点。本期我们将重点介绍桑托斯港。

ⅠAdvantages of Santos Port

一、桑托斯港的优势

Geographical location and transportation network

The Port of Santos is strategically located in the Santos Bay on the southeast coast of Brazil, bordering the southwest side of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the core logistics hub on the east coast of South America. It is also the outer port of Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil , the largest seaport in Brazil and even in South America, and the world's largest coffee export port. It is directly connected to the inland economic hinterland of Brazil and inland countries such as Bolivia and Paraguay through railway and road networks, becoming an important intercontinental transit node in South America .

桑托斯港口地理位置重要，位于巴西东南沿海的桑托斯湾内，濒临大西洋的西南侧，是南美洲东海岸的核心物流枢纽。同时也是巴西最大城市圣保罗市的外港，巴西乃至南美最大的海港，又是世界最大的咖啡输出港，通过铁路和公路网络直接连通巴西内陆经济腹地及玻利维亚、巴拉圭等内陆国家，成为南美大陆重要的跨洲转运节点。

Santos is a free port in Brazil and an important maritime port in Brazil. It is located in the northeast of Sao Vicente Island in southeastern Brazil, more than 60 kilometers northwest of Sao Paulo. The sea route is 210 nautical miles northeast to Rio de Janeiro and 927 nautical miles to Salvador; 880 nautical miles southwest to Montevideo and 1010 nautical miles to Buenos Aires; and 3416 nautical miles east to Cape Town.

桑托斯是巴西自由港且也是巴西重要的海运港口。位于巴西东南圣维森特岛东北侧，西北距圣保罗60多公里。海路东北至里约热内卢210海里，至萨尔瓦多927海里；西南至蒙得维的亚880海里，至布宜诺斯艾利斯1010海里；东至开普敦3416海里。

The Santos Port area stretches more than 10 kilometers from northwest to southeast of the island, with a main wharf line of more than 8 kilometers, including 4,070 meters of international general cargo wharf line and 1,512 meters of liquid cargo wharf line. The dry bulk cargo wharf line is 1,809 meters and the container wharf line is 510 meters. The front water depth is 7 meters in front of warehouses 1-12 from north to southeast of St. Vincent Island, 11 meters in front of warehouses 12A-22, 8 meters in front of warehouses 24-27, 11 meters in front of warehouses 29-37, 13 meters in front of warehouses 38-39, and 12 meters in the northwest of the "T" jetty terminal of Almoa. The front water depth of Sabao Wharf and Barnaby Island on the opposite bank is 10 meters. The container wharf and fertilizer trestle wharf on the east side of the port channel have a water depth of 13 meters.

桑托斯港区沿岛西北东南伸10多公里，主要码头线8公里余，其中国际杂货码头线4,070米，液货码头线1,512米。干散货码头线1,809米，集装箱码头线510米。前沿水深自圣文森特岛北至东南第1－12号货栈前7米，第12号A－22号货栈前11米，24－27号8米，29－37号11米，38－39号13米、西北的阿勒莫亚“T”形突堤终端，水深12米。萨博奥码头和对岸的巴尔纳比岛前沿水深10米。入港航道东侧的集装箱码头及肥料栈桥码头，水深13米。

In addition to being the largest soybean exporter to Brazil, China is also one of the largest exporters of copper concentrate to Peru. Chinese shipowners can avoid empty ship return voyages by returning Brazilian agricultural products and transferring minerals to Peru's Chancay Port, 720 nautical miles from Santos Port. Other options include the Tubarão Port in northern Brazil, which mainly exports iron ore, and the Cife Port in northeastern Brazil, which mainly exports sugar .

中国除了是巴西的大豆最大出口国，也是秘鲁精铜矿的一大出口国之一，中国船东可通过巴西农产品回程以及前往距离桑托斯港720海里的秘鲁钱凯港中转矿产，避免空船返航。可供选择的还有巴西北部主要出口铁矿石的图巴朗港和东北部主要出口糖的西腓港。

Ⅱ Port infrastructure​

（二）港口基础设施

The Port of Santos has 58 terminals and 62 berths capable of handling a wide range of cargoes, including dry bulk, liquid bulk, bulk cargo, ro-ro, general cargo, containers, special cargo and project cargo. The port connects Santos to more than 600 other ports in 200 locations around the world. According to the Port of Santos' annual report, in 2023, the port handled 173 million tons of cargo and 5 million TEUs, consolidating its position as the largest port in South America.

桑托斯港拥有58个码头和62个泊位，能够处理各种货物，包括干散货、液体散货、散货、滚装、普通货物、集装箱、特殊货物和项目货物。该港口将桑托斯与全球200个地区的600多个其他港口连接起来。根据桑托斯港的年报，2023年，该港口处理了1.73亿吨货物和500万标准箱，巩固了其作为南美洲最大港口的地位。

The Port of Santos includes public and private terminals covering an area of more than 9.3 million square meters. The Port of Santos has the most advanced port facilities in Latin America, with a total length of 13 kilometers and a maximum water depth of 15 meters, which can accommodate ultra-large ships of 20,000 TEUs . The port area includes container terminals, dry bulk terminals (such as the TGG grain terminal), liquid terminals (handling oil and chemicals) and railway intermodal hubs. The " Santos Port Investment Plan " launched in 2024 is expected to invest 20 billion reais to expand terminals, waterways and railways, with the goal of achieving a throughput of 200 million tons by 2030 .

桑托斯港包括公共和私人码头，占地面积超过 930万平方米。桑托斯港拥有拉丁美洲最先进的港口设施，码头总长13公里，最大水深15米，可容纳20,000标箱级超大型船舶。港区包括集装箱码头、干散货码头（如TGG粮食码头）、液体码头（处理石油和化学品）及铁路联运枢纽。2024年启动的“桑托斯港投资计划”预计投资200亿雷亚尔，扩建码头、航道和铁路，目标到2030年实现2亿吨吞吐量。

(III) Tariff Advantage

（三）关税优势

Free port status: Santos Port is one of the few "free ports" in Brazil, allowing duty-free storage, processing and re-export of goods, attracting international logistics companies to set up regional distribution centers. The export value of Santos Port accounts for 2/3 of the country's total, and the import value accounts for about 2/5 of the country's total. Its free port status directly serves Brazil's export-oriented economy.

自由港地位：桑托斯港是巴西少数的 “自由港”，允许货物免税存储、加工和再出口，吸引了国际物流企业设立区域分拨中心。桑托斯港出口值占全国 2/3，进口值约占全国 2/5，其自由港地位直接服务于巴西的出口导向型经济。

Green Shipping Incentives: The Green Ship Tariff Reduction Program, which was officially implemented by the Santos Port Authority in October 2023, clearly stipulates that a 15% tariff reduction will be given to ships with an Environmental Ship Index (ESI) score of ≥ 71 points . The criteria for promoting green ship discounts are based on the score of the Environmental Ship Index (ESI), which scores ships from 0 to 100 points based on the system or fuel technology used by the ship to reduce the emission of ammonia oxides (NOX) and sulfur oxides (SOX) to exceed the prescribed regulatory limits . The discount range also includes coastal ships and passenger ships to encourage tourism and create jobs and income for coastal cities.

绿色航运激励：桑托斯港务局于2023年10月正式实施的《绿色船舶关税减免计划》明确规定，对环境船舶指数（ESI）评分≥71分的船舶给予15%的关税减免，促进绿色船舶折扣的标准是基于环境船舶指数（ESI）的分数，该指数根据船舶使用的系统或燃料技术将氨氧化物（NOX）和硫氧化物（SOX）的排放减少到超过规定的监管限制，对船舶进行0到100分的评分。折扣范围还包括沿海船舶和客轮，以鼓励旅游业，为沿海城市创造就业和收入。

Green channel operation: Brazil's customs channels are divided into four levels, namely green, yellow, red and gray; after the importer registers in the foreign trade system, the customs clearance channel for imported goods is selected by the foreign trade system (Siscomex) based on a comprehensive analysis of its corresponding conditions and factors. For the transportation of bulk agricultural products, advance declaration can be made through the Siscomex system, or third-party cooperation such as the E-PORTS platform can be selected to optimize the customs clearance process.

绿色通道作业：巴西的海关通道分为四档，分别是绿色、黄色、红色、灰色；进口方在外贸系统注册后，根据对其相应条件和因素的综合分析后，进口货物海关通关通道由外贸系统（Siscomex）进行选择。大宗农产品运输，可以通过Siscomex系统提前申报，也可选择E-PORTS平台等第三方合作，优化清关流程。

 

Logistics support in the area : The logistics network around the Port of Santos is well developed, and the port is closely connected to the road network of São Paulo State. However, urban expansion has led to the mixing of residential areas and logistics channels around the port, which once affected the efficiency of cargo transportation .

Fast customs clearance of dangerous goods: Santos Port has the ability to handle dangerous goods, especially liquid bulk and chemicals. Its liquid bulk terminal can handle gasoline and diesel, and professional agency companies provide direct loading services for dangerous goods at the shipside, covering the entire process from classification, packaging to warehousing .

(V) Hydrological parameters

（五）水文参数

Santos Port has a subtropical monsoon climate, with an average annual temperature of 27-28℃ and an annual precipitation of about 2,000 mm. The rainy season (October to March of the following year) may cause floods, affecting inland river transportation . The main channel of Santos Port is 13 meters deep, and some berths can be as deep as 15 meters . The high tide is about 1.3 meters, and the low tide is about 0.9 meters. It is a semi-diurnal tide, with two high and low tides per day.

The water depth of the anchorage ranges from 20 to 28 meters, and the bottom is mainly mud and sand. However, due to the large waves in the open sea, the ship may roll when anchored . The ship needs to fix the hatch cover and adjust the cable to prevent the ship from slipping or breaking.

桑托斯港属亚热带季风气候，年平均气温 27-28℃，年降水量约 2000毫米，雨季（10月至次年3月）可能引发洪水，影响内河运输。桑托斯港主航道水深为 13米，部分泊位水深可达 15米，大潮潮高约1.3米，小潮潮高约0.9米，为半日潮，每日两次涨落潮。

锚地水深范围为20-28米，底质以泥沙为主，但因外海涌浪较大，船舶锚泊时可能出现横摇现象，船舶需固定舱盖并调整缆绳，防止溜船或断缆。

2. Dry bulk business at Santos Port

二、桑托斯港的干散货业务

Chinese shipowners have gained an advantage in the competition for dry bulk business at the Port of Santos . Chinese companies have obtained the STS11 terminal through a 25-year franchise . After integrating railway transportation, costs have been reduced by 15%. By 2026, the annual export capacity of 14 million tons of soybeans and corn will be formed, accounting for 18% of the agricultural product exports of the Port of Santos.

The Port of Santos has more than 40 bulk and general cargo terminals . The main export goods are coffee, sugar, meat products, cotton, cement, soybeans, etc., and the import goods are wheat, machinery and equipment, fuel, fertilizers and chemical products . The dry bulk cargo terminal of the Port of Santos is 1,809 meters long and equipped with professional loading and unloading equipment (such as 50-ton floating cranes). It handles more than 70 million tons of bulk cargo such as grains and minerals annually. In 2024, due to the drought in the Amazon, a large amount of coffee and sugar will be transferred to the Port of Santos for export .

中国船东在桑托斯港干散货业务的竞争中取得优势，中资企业通过25年特许经营权获得STS11码头，整合铁路运输后成本降低15%，2026年将形成年出口1400 万吨大豆、玉米的能力，占桑托斯港农产品出口量的18%。

桑托斯港有散、杂货码头40多个。主要装卸出口货物有咖啡、蔗糖、肉类制品、棉花、水泥、大豆等，进口货物有小麦、机械设备、燃料、化肥及化工产品等。桑托斯港的干散货码头线长1809米，配备专业化装卸设备（如50吨浮吊），年处理谷物、矿产等散货超7000万吨。2024年因亚马逊干旱，大量咖啡和糖转移至桑托斯港出口。

3. Cooperation between China and Brazil

三、中国与巴西的合作关系

China-Brazil pragmatic cooperation has a solid foundation. The two sides are highly complementary in industrial structure, which has led to record highs in bilateral trade volume. In 2003, the bilateral trade volume was only US$7.98 billion, but it has increased to US$181.5 billion in 2023. China has been Brazil's largest trading partner for 15 consecutive years and has become Brazil's first export market with a value of over US$100 billion. Mutual dependence and mutual assistance have become the underlying color of China-Brazil economic and trade cooperation.

In terms of policy, the Brazilian Immigration Bureau recently announced an adjustment to its interpretation of the Brazil-China Maritime Transport Agreement, further expanding the scope of visa exemptions for Chinese seafarer passport holders. The document specifically states that the Brazilian government has instructed immigration control departments to no longer issue fines to Chinese seafarers on non-Chinese flagged ships. In addition, the document also states that administrative appeals can still be made in previous cases within the prescribed period. Due to the Brazilian government's new interpretation of the agreement, the Federal Police will review the fines that have been issued, and overdue fines that meet the conditions can be revoked. On the other hand, shipowners can file administrative lawsuits against cases where ships under the flags of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have been fined, demanding the refund of fines.

The China-Brazil “Belt and Road” cooperation has brought linkage opportunities to the Port of Santos. Huawei 5G covers the Port of Santos, and the E-PORTS platform realizes real-time monitoring of “ship-port-cargo”.

中巴务实合作基础扎实。双方在产业结构上高度互补，使双方贸易额屡创新高。2003年双边贸易额仅为79.8亿美元，2023年已提升至1815亿美元。中国已连续15年成为巴西最大贸易伙伴，更成为巴西首个金额超千亿美元的出口市场。相互依存、彼此相助成为中巴经贸合作的底色。

在政策方面，巴西移民局近日宣布调整对《巴中海运协定》的解读，进一步扩大中国海员护照持有者的签证豁免适用范围。文件特别指出，巴西政府已指示移民控制部门，不再对在非中国旗船的中国籍海员开具罚单。此外，文件还指出，在规定期限内，先前的案件仍可提出行政上诉。由于巴西政府对该协议的新解释，联邦警察将重新审核已开罚单，符合条件的逾期罚款可撤销。另一方面，船东可对因港澳台船旗船舶被罚的案例提起行政诉讼，要求退还罚金。

中巴“一带一路”合作为桑托斯港带来了联动机会，华为5G覆盖桑托斯港，E-PORTS平台实现“船-港-货”实时监控。

Risks and Prevention

Special events affect port efficiency

四、存在风险与预防

特殊事件影响港口效率

On May 9, 2025, the Union of Auditors of the Federal Taxation Service of Santos issued a statement to its clients, informing them that the category had decided to paralyze all activities of the customs of the Port of Santos from May 12 to May 16. Due to this measure, the following services will be suspended during this period: customs clearance and shipment of goods, customer service, and rectification analysis of electronic bills of lading (EC) and IDFA (missing or added identification). Only the 30% of staff required by law can release perishable, live, dangerous goods, medicines and food for onboard consumption, and comply with court decisions. In addition to this small national strike, since November 26, 2024, the customs auditors of the Brazilian Federal Taxation Service have launched a national strike, demanding higher wages and better working conditions. The strike involves 98 customs stations, with the participation of more than 23,000 employees, affecting major ports such as the Ports of Santos, Rio and Itajai .

During the strike, some import and export clearances, cargo dispatch, customer service, tax audits, and IDFA-related processing may be affected.

2025年5月9日，桑托斯联邦税务局审计师联盟向客户发布一份声明，通知称，该类别决定在5月12日至5月16日瘫痪桑托斯港海关的所有活动。由于这项措施，在此期间将暂停以下服务：货物清关和发货、客户服务以及电子提单（EC）和IDFA（缺失或添加识别）的整改分析。只有法律要求的30%的工作人员可以放行易腐烂、活的、危险的货物、药品和供机上食用的食品，并遵守法院判决。除了这次全国性的小罢工，自2024年11月26日起，巴西联邦税务局的海关审计员发起了全国性罢工，要求提高薪资和改善工作条件。罢工涉及98个海关站点，超过2.3万名员工参与，影响的主要港口如桑托斯港、里约港和伊塔雅伊港。

罢工期间，一些进出口通关、货物调度、客户服务、税务审计、IDFA相关处理可能会收到影响。

Equipment aging

In the port congestion incident in March 2025, Veraldo, CEO of global logistics company MTM Logix, said: "Obsolete equipment, lack of maintenance and insufficient investment are the main causes of port congestion."

设备老化

在2025年3月发生的港口拥堵事件中，全球物流公司MTM Logix首席执行官Veraldo就曾说：“设备过时、缺乏维护和投资不足是造成港口拥堵的主要原因。”

Strict health inspection

Brazil's health inspection is relatively strict, special attention should be paid to the following matters :

严格的卫检

巴西卫检比较严格，特别注意以下事项：

1. There should not be any expired items in the ship's mess room and kitchen. Sometimes health inspection officers will check under the benches, refrigerators, etc. Any items without an expiration date are considered expired . If the items are expired or have no validity period but are obviously in good condition, it is recommended to isolate them in sealed plastic bags. During the health inspection, if they are found, they are required to be disposed of as garbage.

1.在船上的伙食房和厨房里不应有任何过期的物品，有时卫检官员会检査长凳的底下、冷藏室等，任何没有有效期的物品均被视为过期。如过期或无有效期但明显状况好的物品，建议放在边隔离在密封的塑料袋中，在卫生检查时，如发现要求当垃圾处理。

2. The use of any medication must be recorded in a timely manner. Health inspection officers check pharmacies and narcotics inventories and only drugs within their expiration dates should be included in the reports. Expired medicines should be destroyed or isolated and sealed, and marked with "Expired-to belanded". Although relatively simple, it is still common to find expired medicines on board, which will lead to a detailed and in-depth inspection.

2.任何药物的使用均需及时记录。卫检官员査看药房和麻醉品清单，在报表上应只有在有效期内的药物。要把过期的药品销毁或隔离密封，并标明“过期-待到货Expired-to belanded”。虽较为简单但仍常查出船上有过期药品，将导致详细深入检查。

3. Kitchen staff must wear gloves and hairnets (or chef hats), and their nails must be short and neatly trimmed. When you check, make sure there are no dishes waiting to be washed in the sink. Recently, health officials have informed us that ships should be equipped with special protective gloves (with metal mesh to prevent cutting hands) for cutting meat. It is best to buy these gloves in China, which is cheaper. If you buy them in Brazil, they will cost several hundred dollars .

3.厨房工作人员必须戴手套和发网(或厨师帽)，指甲要剪短并修剪整齐。检查时，确保水槽里没有待洗的盘子。近期，卫生官员通知船上应配备有切割肉时所佩戴的防护特殊手套(带金属网防割手)，该手套最好在国内购买较便宜，巴西买的话需要几百美刀；

4. Kitchens, wards and public toilets must have foot-operated flip-top trash cans, portable or wall-mounted plastic boxes for soap, liquid hand sanitizer, and paper towels (not towels).

4.厨房、病房和公共厕所必须有脚踏翻盖式垃圾桶，需配置盛放肥皂、液体洗手液的便携或壁挂式塑料盒以及纸巾(不是指毛巾)。

5. The air-conditioned room must be basically empty and free of any items that can cause dust accumulation, such as cleaning materials, chairs, equipment, etc.

5.空调间必须基本空无一物，没有任何能导致灰尘积累的物品，如清洁材料、椅子、设备等。

6. Sewage pools must be sealed starting 12 miles off the coast of Brazil and remain sealed throughout the port or anchorage to avoid huge fines. Sewage pools must be in good condition, run according to the instructions, and have no perforations (especially on the top). Use a flashlight to check and align the internal metal sheets (usually the internal metal sheets will rust or fall to the bottom of the pool due to the shaking of the container with the ship). If using chlorine tablets for sewage pools, the diameter of the tablets must be coordinated with the diameter of the pipe (if the pipe is large, the tablets cannot be too small; if the pipe is small, the tablets cannot be broken/crushed and must be kept whole), and the tablet size must be appropriate.

6.距巴西海岸12英里外污水池开始要密封，并在整个停靠港口或锚地期间保持密封，以避免巨额罚款。污水池必须处于良好状态，按说明书运行，没有穿孔(特别是顶部)。用手电筒检查并对齐内部金属片(通常内部金属片会生锈或因容器随船抖动掉到池子底部)。如使用污水池氯片剂，片剂的直径必须与管道的直径协调(如管道大，片剂不能过小;如管道小，片剂不能破碎/压碎，要保持整片)，药片大小要适宜。

7. In outdoor covered areas, such as waterproof covers on rescue boats, check for wrinkled areas where water accumulates and for the breeding of insect eggs and larvae. If defects are found, samples with " evidence " will be collected .

7.室外带罩子的地方，如救助艇防水罩处，检査是否有堆叠皱着存水处，是否滋生虫卵、幼虫，发现缺陷，会收集有“证据”的样本。

8. Check whether the yellow fever certificate is valid. Cholera vaccine has been cancelled and is not required.

8.黄热病证书检査是否有效，霍乱疫苗已被取消，不作要求。

9. Properly place rodent guards on mooring ropes. The pedals of all garbage bins must be in good condition ;

9.在系泊绳索上正确放置防鼠挡。各处垃圾桶脚踏一定要状况良好；

10. Ballast water does not need to be replaced as long as the treatment system is working normally ;

10.压载水只要处理系统正常使用工作则不需要更换；

11. If you need to provide meals, you need to inform the agent which supplier you use. The agent will assist with the formalities. The quality of meals is acceptable .

11.上伙食的话需要通知代理用的哪家供应筠代理会协助办手续，伙食质量还可以；

Other notes:

1. The Brazilian flag needs to be hung on both sides, and the customs flag must be hung 24 hours a day ;
2. The quarantine flag can be lowered after receiving the free pratique email from the agent vessel ;
3. A red light needs to be hung at the bow and stern to illuminate the ship.

其他注意事项：

1.巴西国旗需要悬挂双面的，海关旗要24小时悬挂；

2.检疫旗在收到代理船只的free pratique 邮件后可降下；

3.船头球鼻首处、船尾各需要挂一红灯照亮。

 

Impact of disasters 

In June 2024, Tiplam Terminal, which is mainly responsible for the loading and unloading of agricultural products and mineral products including soybeans, corn, sugar, etc., issued a statement saying that a fire broke out on the evening of June 20 (Thursday) local time. The fire burned a conveyor belt and the power system, resulting in the suspension of sugar shipments at Terminals 2 and 3. The fire was under control on the morning of June 21 (Friday).

灾害的影响 

在2024年6月，桑托斯港主要负责包括大豆、玉米、糖等农产品和矿产品的装卸的Tiplam码头曾布声明称，当地时间6月20日（周四）晚上突发火灾，大火烧毁了一条传送带和电力系统，导致2号和3号码头的食糖装运暂停。6月21日（周五）早上，火情得到控制。

Summary and Suggestions

五、总结与建议

The Cerrado Coffee Growers Cooperative (exocacer) said that even with a proactive approach, such as early logistics planning and careful selection of shipping lines, it still faces problems such as container shortages, sudden changes in ship delivery deadlines and high tolls on single-lane highways.

Shipowners and captains may face congestion and strict health inspections at the Port of Santos, including how to choose green channels and emergencies. It is recommended to find a third party and a reliable agent to cooperate with.

Cerrado咖啡种植者合作社(exocacer)表示，即使采取积极主动的方法，如利用早期的物流规划和仔细选择航运公司，依然面临着如集装箱短缺，船舶交货期限突变，单车道高速公路高收费等问题。

船东与船长在桑托斯港可能面临拥堵、严格的卫生检查，包括如何选择绿色通道以及突发情况等，建议寻找第三方以及靠谱的代理合作。
