From Pier Mauá website: « In 1998 Pier Mauá won the concession to manage the Maritime Passenger Station of the Port of Rio de Janeiro, the main gateway for international tourism in the country, and an area of 40 thousand square meters in the surrounding area. After taking over the area, we spent many years investing in the restoration, improvement and maintenance of the space so that today we have what you know: Pier Mauá! Our International Cruise Terminal over the years has been breaking records, such as in the 2016 carnival, when we received 11 ships simultaneously; and for seven years we were awarded by Travel Weekly, an important publication in the tourism industry, in the “Best Cruise Port in South America” category (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016).

In addition to managing Rio's Cruise Port, Pier Mauá also operates in the parties and events segment, allocating its spaces to hold the city's hottest events, such as Rio Gastronomia, Veste Rio, Mondial de La Biere, ArtRio and many others. !

The company began operating in the events area in 2007, after the start of restoration work on its warehouses, which transformed Pier Mauá into the most noble and versatile area for congresses, shows and the most varied artistic and cultural events in the country. Each Warehouse has an average of 3,500 m² that allows the circulation of up to 10 thousand people per day for a large event, and also has a privileged and beautiful view of Guanabara Bay.

A pioneer in the revitalization of Rio de Janeiro's port area, Pier Mauá looks to the future with the aim of integrating the port into the city – in line with City Hall's Porto Maravilha project. Soon we will have more news to explore there. According to the president of Pier Mauá, Luis Cerqueira, “the team is working hard to guarantee the dream of the Porto Cidade project, which aims to bring locals and tourists to enjoy areas closer to the sea. Soon this dream will become reality and will help us keep the historical importance of the port region alive.”
