En 1504, une expédition française jette
l’ancre dans les eaux abritées de la baie de
Babitonga, établissant la troisième plus
ancienne localité du Brésil. Lieux d’un très
grand brassage culturel, la ville, berceau de
l’État de Santa Catarina, et le port de São
Francisco do Sul sont, depuis toujours,
imbriqués l’un dans l’autre. Le port, qui
depuis le début du 20ème siècle fait l’objet
d’importants investissements, occupe
aujourd’hui la cinquième place des ports à
conteneurs brésiliens, jouissant d’une
situation géographique particulièrement
favorable à mi-chemin entre Sao Paulo et
Buenos Aires, les deux plus grands centres
de production et de consommation du
Mercosur. Premier port de l’État de Santa
Catarina, essentiellement dédié aux
exportations, il en est aussi le plus grand
port céréalier. Cette présentation analyse le
potentiel offert par ce port naturel brésilien,
ses principales activités économiques, les
projets de développement de São Francisco
do Sul en tant que destination touristique
accessible aux bateaux de croisière du
monde entier, ainsi que les moyens mis en
oeuvre pour maintenir les activités d’un port
qui génère plus de 70% des revenus de la
ville.
In 1504, a French expedition set anchor at
the Babitonga Bay sheltered waters. Right
then was born the third oldest location in
Brazil, generating a huge cultural diversity
making the city, the cradle of Santa
Catarina State´s history knotted with the
port, which since the beginning of the
twentieth century has undergone major
investments that culminates with the
current numbers. The Port of São
Francisco do Sul is today the fifth largest
Brazilian port in container handling,
distinguished by its excellent location
halfway between Sao Paulo and Buenos
Aires, the two major centers of production
and consumption of Mercosur. The largest
port in the State, essentially exporter, is
the main grain port in the State. In this
work, we present the potential of a natural
harbor in Brazil, its main economic
activities, plans for consolidation of São
Francisco do Sul as a tourist destination
receiving cruise ships from around the
world and how to keep more than 70 % of
municipal income generated by port
related businesses.

SÃO FRANCISCO DO SUL: UM PORTO PARA O MUNDO
LUIZ ROBERTO DE OLIVEIRA
MAYOR | SÃO FRANCISCO DO SUL | SANTA CATARINA | BRAZIL
The Port of São Francisco do Sul is today the fifth largest Brazilian port in container
handling, distinguished by its excellent location halfway between Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires, the two
major centers of production and consumption of Mercosur. The largest port in the State, essentially
exporter, is the main grain port in the State. In this work, we present the potential of a natural harbor in
Brazil, its main economic activities, plans for consolidation of São Francisco do Sul as a tourist
destination receiving cruise ships from around the world and how to keep more than 70 % of municipal
income generated by port related businesses.
The port is located on
the Island of São Francisco do Sul,
north coast of Santa Catarina, far 215
Km from its Capital, Florianopolis, has
road access to Joinville, the largest city
in the state, and from there to the whole
country and MERCOSUR, via the BR
280, a distance of 40 km fully paved. It
consists of a natural inlet, delimited by
the José Dias lighthouse, at the north
end of the island of São Francisco do
Sul. It has approximately 2km wide and
16m deep. Railroads enter and leave
the port, connecting São Francisco do
Sul, to the South town of Mafra, distant
167 Km. In its proximities the port has 2
airports, Joinville (JOI) and Navegantes
(NVT), served by regular domestic
flights connecting main national and
international centers.
A
combination
between its great geographic condition
and the lowest fees in Brazil, have
made the Port of São Francisco do Sul
reach a constant and strong growing.
Container movement have tripled,
general cargo doubled and the
movement of solid grains increased by
50%. A good indicator of the efficiency
of the port is for its low index of cargo
damage in the Country and a record
time for container movement. While the
national rate of movements is from 8 to
10, the port of São Francisco do Sul
goes up to 23 movements/hour.

A Port to the world.
The Port of São Francisco do Sul is an autarchy of the State of Santa Catarina, the
renewal of the delegation was extended on September 18, 2014, for more 25 years. The Port of São
Francisco do Sul is a structure of multiple use and the second in Brazil's handling of non-containerized
cargo and accounting for about 12% of the grains exported by Brazil. Last year, the project received
investments of over R$ 40 million to expand and improve its operational capacity. With an autonomous
administration, the port works with the agility and efficiency of a private terminal, so that half of the State
movement passes by it.
In terms of natural structure, the Port of São Francisco do Sul has great profiles. The
inlet has 9.3 miles of extension, 150 meters wide and 13 meters depth. Tidal amplitude of 2 meters and
a very wide evolution basin. There are 5 official anchorage areas. The installed infrastructure has
mooring docks with 780 meters in length and 43 feet of maximum depth.

Also as a part of the port complex, the Babitonga Terminal, from the private sector, has
a mooring dock of 225 meters in length with a maximum depth of 11 meters. An electronic sign system
covers the whole 9.3 miles of extension of the inlet and the evolution basin, being the second port in
Brazil to meet this international standard. The buoys system and the tower are powered by solar energy
lasting up to 30 days. The tower stands winds up to 200 Km/h, guarantying precision and safety to the
navigation.
The port of São Francisco do Sul, is known by its dynamism and agility of its operations.
In part due to partnerships with big companies such as Terlogs, Bunge and CIDASC that compounds
the export corridor set in the primary zone of the port.
Terlogs operates an area of 40.000 square meters, with a set of thirteen rail and road
scales and a total storage capacity of 140.000 tons of grains.
The Bunge complex has 125,000 square meters, with a plant for soy extraction for
processing up to 1.700 tons a day. Shipping capacity reaches 1,500 tons an hour of solid grains and
1.000 tons of soy oil and hour. Storage capacity is 200.000 tons of solid grains and 45.000 tons of soy
oil. Together, Terlogs and Bunge have invested around US$ 20 million in the export corridor and US$ 3
million in two ship loaders, which tripled the loading capacity.
CIDASC – (Integrated Agricultural Development Company of Santa Catarina) operates
the Grain Terminal Irineu Bornhausen. Reception is equipped with three scales with capacity for up to
120 train wagons and 150 trucks a day and a two wagon loaders with a flow capacity for 500 tons/hour.
Storage capacity of 110.000 tons for grains and 9.000 cubic feet for vegetable oils.
Essentially exporter, it is the main bulk port in the State and it handles approximately
5.4 million tons/year. Main exported goods are, compressors, buses chassis, wood, paper, furniture,
ceramics, frozen meet, soy, corn, auto parts, and textiles
Consolidated as the second biggest mover of non-containerized cargo on the Country,
the port has moved 13 million tons from January to December last year, 20% more than 2012. Out of
this total, 7.8 million tons of bulk exported, 31% more than 2012, 1.6 million tons imported, 63% more if
compared with the previous year and 3.7 million tons of general cargo. In 2013, all numbers overpassed
2012. There were more than R$40 million. Most of it was applied in the construction of berth 201.
Regarding exportations, December registered an increase of 98% compared with 2012. Main goods
were, soy, corn and steel coils.
New Terminal
The project is called TGSC is an investment of the companies LogZ, Litoral Agência
Marítima, in the business for more than 20 years and the Chinese group Hopeful.
The enterprise aims the construction of two berths, totaling 453 meters with natural draft
of 14 meters with four fixed towers, two ship loaders and one ship unloader. In addition, the project
counts with infrastructure able to link the neighbor warehouses. Investments in order of R$10 billion.
Investments
Berth 201 was extended from 150 to 280 meters. Investment of R$34.3 million. Its re-alignment will allow
an increase of 2 million tons/ year in capacity of embark and disembark, that currently moves around 12
million tons of cargo such as soy, corn and steel products. Expansion also is going to allow a reduction
of the timeframe of movement of ships, cutting costs and increasing productivity. Also it will bring an
economic impact for the town, generating and increasing taxes income.
Environment
The Port of San Francisco South performs at its facilities environmental programs required to operate
the port. The goal of these programs is to know the effects of port activities on the environment and
implement control actions to prevent possible environmental impacts of its operations.
For the development and implementation of programs, the port established the Environmental Policy to
ensure that port operations are carried out with respect for the environment through the implementation
of programs to ensure the prevention of pollution and continual improvement meeting environmental
legislation.

São Francisco do Sul in the cruise route.
The city was included in the short cruises routes and the movement of tourists promises to boost the
economy and local culture. The first scale has already marked the date: December 5, 2014 In all, six
ships come to town every three days, until December 20. This year, all vessels are nationals. They go
out of Itajaí, go through São Francisco do Sul, followed by Santos, the São Paulo coast, and return to
Itajaí. In these 15 days, the city will receive about 12 thousand tourists, including some foreigners who
are part of the crew.
There
is
also
the
possibility of new scales
for February 2015, which
are under negotiation.
A new exclusive berthing
pier for cruise ships is
under construction next
to the ferry terminal, the
Historic Center, and a
second phase, will have
public marina.
The inclusion of São
Francisco do Sul in the
cruise routes was made
possible in the Seatrade
Miami (USA), the largest
fair of the cruise world,
which happened in March this year. One of the factors that contributed to the decision was the
presentation of unlike cultural, historical and nature attractions the area offers.
The injection into the economy of the city is impressive. Considering the average spending the last
few seasons, about $ 100 per person, will be almost R $ 1, 2 million left in the local economy.
Tourists are generally middle class or rising, from various social classes and with the prospect of
spending. To São Francisco do Sul, the return of these ships is undoubtedly an increase in tourist
demand that already exists in the municipality and a direct injection into the economy, benefiting all
classes of related service providers in the city.
Investment in infrastructure is essential to ensure the arrival of tourists. Adaptations to the Ferry
Terminal, including air conditioning, floaters to the tenders that receive the ship, folkloric performances,
new space for tour buses, equipped information centers providing restaurant guide, location maps for
displacement on the island and shuttles. For security, a structure is created with direct emphasis on
this event with the Military Police.
Pier and Marina
The most important and impacting work for traders and residents is the construction of the pier
exclusive for cruise ships. The first step is already ongoing, the initial conclusion planned for
December, but as it is a work at sea, and due to its complexity, the deadline may be extended. Once
ready, beyond the pier, there is also a public marina. The investment of almost R$10 million, shall be
solely in these proportions in southern Brazil. The structure will be a key to increase the tourist potential
differential in the city.
An important factor for the arrival of ships is the wave of the embarking and disembarking fees. The
measure is necessary to retain tourism agencies. The incentive tours to the main sights to tourists is
reinforced and this year, the novelty is the action plan within the Public Market, with music and cultural
attractions in partnership with Island Cultural Foundation of São Francisco do Sul. In all stops, Cruise
satisfaction surveys are conducted, and almost 99% reported that they would return to the city.
Commerce and gastronomy expect greater impact. In the hospitality segment, the arrival of cruise in
December does not impact directly, precisely because they are not staying in the city for a scale that
lasts a few hours. In this case the relationship with tourists is indirect to the city.
