🇧🇷 Brazil
South Atlantic · Multi-Purpose Port
In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 110 vessel arrivals at Rio de Janeiro, with Other accounting for 29% of port calls — higher than the South Atlantic regional average of 16%. Rio de Janeiro in Brazil connects the major commodity exporters of West Africa and South America with global markets, carrying crude oil, iron ore, soybeans, coal, and containerised goods. The Gulf of Guinea has surpassed the Gulf of Aden as the world's most active piracy zone, accounting for the majority of global incidents and the vast majority of crew kidnappings. Unlike Somali piracy's hijacking-for-ransom model, Gulf of Guinea attacks typically aim at kidnap-for-ransom, cargo theft, and oil theft from tankers. The diversion of container traffic around the Cape of Good Hope due to Red Sea security threats has increased congestion at South Atlantic bunkering ports and along the South African coast.
Across 110 distinct vessel arrivals, 106 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories at Rio de Janeiro:
Brazil is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Rio de Janeiro is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
