Abstract

Private ports and terminals are important “gates” for the entry and exit of goods in Brazilian territory, characterized by the existence of networks and flows in space. Maritime transport contributes to the circulation of products in the Brazilian territory (cabotage) and articulates Brazil with other countries (long haul), being important for networks, flows, spatial interactions and economic development. The aim of this article is to analyze the port sector in the state of Sergipe, with emphasis on imports and exports, modernization, intermodality and existing bottlenecks. The port dynamics in Sergipe, and especially in the Inácio Barbosa Maritime Terminal (TMIB), are less intense when compared to other ports and terminals in the Northeast and Brazil. The port and maritime sector is essential for economic development, but insufficient public and private investments and the liberal concession model harm Sergipe's economy. The port sector in this state lacks innovation and expansion, and has bottlenecks that jeopardize the internal multiplier effect, effective demand and the generation of jobs and income. The methodological procedures used are: bibliographical research related to the theme, field work to verify the existing infrastructure and bottlenecks, interviews with those responsible for different bodies and data collection. The Inácio Barbosa/SE Maritime Terminal has obsolete equipment that limits the growth and diversification of the goods handled. As a result, the terminal loses cargo to other more modern complexes in the Northeast region, such as Salvador/BA, Suape/PE and Pecém/CE.
