Currently, companies from Rio Grande do Sul have the ports of Rio Grande, Itajaí, Navegantes and Itapoá as their main alternatives for unloading their import cargo. In addition, the possible implementation of a new port on the North Coast of the State has been discussed. Given this context, this study aimed to analyze the port choice from the point of view of import companies, focusing on the metal mechanic sector of Serra Gaúcha. To achieve this objective, a two-step research was conducted. The first step was a focus group with managers of import companies in the metal-mechanic sector, aiming to validate the attributes found in the literature and identify their variation in the studied ports. Based on the obtained results, a hierarchical analysis of the existing port alternatives was carried out in two different scenarios. In the first scenario, the new port presents a similar performance to Rio Grande, except for inland costs, since it is closer to Serra Gaúcha. And in the second scenario, it has a lower performance in terms of costs, container dwell times and ship frequency. The results indicated a balanced preference among the ports in the first scenario and an emphasis on the port of Rio Grande in the second. As for the port choice criteria, there was a greater relevance of the ship frequency, which is a critical aspect both for the current competing ports and for the possible implementation of a new port on the North Coast.
