Barcarena, at Vila do Conde on the mouth of the Amazon, has become the northern export gate for Mato Grosso soybean carried down the Tapajós and Amazon by barge, plus bauxite, alumina and caustic soda. Vessels arriving from the northern hemisphere are often delivered on time charter here, far from the traditional survey stations of the south.
UPRIVER Marine covers Barcarena with its Brazil team: on-hire bunker and condition surveys, draft surveys and BROB + BQS for COFCO and YMR Marine in 2026, with the same reporting standard as in Santos or Zona Común.
Trusted maritime surveying and consulting across Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and the Paraná–Paraguay Waterway, with coverage in the main US Gulf and East Coast ports and key global ports.
We specialize in bunker quantity surveys, cargo supervision, and regulatory audits, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and peace of mind for shipowners and charterers.
