Construction of the public port began in 1980, and its facilities opened on 6 May 1982. Companhia Docas de Santana was created in 2002 as the port authority. This chronology is distinct from other terminals and the city's earlier navigation history.

The site helps explain Santana's connection between the Amazon and wider cargo networks. Quays, vessels and operations form a workplace, not an open-access park. Interior visits require administrative authorisation and compliance with safety rules. Observe from permitted areas rather than entering operational access points for photographs.
