In all, there will be 36 giants, 25 international ships and 11 national ships. Of these, nine will dock for the first time in Rio de Janeiro. By the end of the season, 86 national and 34 international stops are planned.
testing for covid-19
Thinking about the comfort and safety of passengers, Pier Mauá offers testing for covid-19 in its facilities. The exams are not free and, for better planning and peace of mind, the tests can be purchased in advance for a different price through travel agencies.
These additional measures that are being taken were established by the shipping companies, based on the current health and safety protocol for the 2022/2023 season in South America, defined and approved by the sanitary and health authorities.
