Breves (BRBVS)

The private port operated by Robco exports timber and timber products via jetty or barges. There are regular break bulk services to Europe and USA, with charter services to Asia.

Breves port on the Amazon River is located 130nm upriver from Belem.

LOA 180m and draught 9.75m HW (8.22m LW).

Anchoring allowed at Macacos.

The channel is 130nm in length, being longer and deeper than Estreito de Boiucu and has many sharp bends. A vessel leaving Belem at half ebb will carry the next flood into Estreito de Breves, this is important as the outgoing stream is very strong in this channel.

Sailing daylight hours only.
