3 PELOTAS CITY SAO JOSE DO NORTE CITY RIO GRANDE DO SUL STATE RIO GRANDE CITY BRAZIL

4 A COASTAL CITY

5 1) Rio Grande City - First city founded in Rio Grande do Sul State - RS (1737) - Colonized mainly by Portuguese - Also Africans, Italians, Germans and Polish - Several Rise/Fall economic cycles - Textile manufacturer (50 s) and Fisheries Industry (80 s) - Main Economic activities - Trade and Industrial Services, Logistic (Port) and Naval/Offshore Industry - Port of Rio Grande - The most important Port of RS State - 2nd in Brazil in cargo handling - Great expansion area

6 OLD PORT: Low Port Activity Potential for Tourism NEW PORT: Huge Port Activity Dry and Liquid Bulks Vehicles, Containers and General Cargo SUPER PORT: - Private Terminals - Agriculture Bulks - Containers - Several industries - Fertilizers, Chemicals - 3 Shipyards - Oil Platforms for Petrobras SAO JOSE DO NORTE: - 1 Shipyard - Oil Platforms for Petrobras - Expansion Area
