description This paper analyzes conditions related to the installation of two ports in the Northern region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – the Açu and Barra do Furado Port Complexes. Our attention was immediately drawn to the large amount of capital invested in the region, an area historically characterized by traditional economy. An answer to this may be related to the process of territorial (re)configuration in which these complexes, seen as central nodes of a logistics network, ignores local municipalities. This may result in very important impacts indicating the urgency of public policies that consider logistics as rationality in territorial organization.
