Ports are the integration points between land and sea modes, with the additional function of cushioning the impact of the flow of cargo at the local road system, through storage and physical distribution. They are also strategic sites for the application and control of the tax policy of countrie s. This work will be shown through a history, the development of port activities, the port as an important factor for the economic development of Brazil. It can be considered as a divider, the implementation of the Ports Law No. 8.630 of 1993. Considered o nly as places for loading and unloading goods, ports today play a fundamental role in the logistics and transport in the globalization process. There has been considerable progress in the development of port activities, the modernization of equipment and a dvancement in technology, aiming to make the most efficient ports in their operations. With the implementation of the new Ports Law 12,815 / 13 repealing the Law 8.630 / 93 and Decree 8,033 / 13 which regulates the provisions of Law 12,815 / 13, we have a new configuration of the port system, also presenting some definitions and updated concepts. The second chapter brings out a new hand management model of work where few advances have occurred in ports, such as raising the level of efficiency and even cost reduction in the organized and private ports. However, today a central issue in ports is the qualification of workers to the port activity, for both workers and especially entrepreneurs complain about the quality of training given. In the social aspect, po rt activities, and are crucial to the balance of trade in Brazil, are the main inducing development of port cities generating employment and income and can also boost the development of fisheries, ecotourism and other segments of society. The third chapter is discussed technological advances in port activities, which had to accompany the modernization of vessels, and the ports also be best - equipped in order to become more efficient and c ompetitive. In the fourth chapter, as important as operations at a seap ort, are operations in a "dry port", with its features. In the last chapter, a type of port operations, considered quickly and efficiently, is an operation called " ship to ship " with its c h ar a cter i stics and risks involved. Anyway, the present work aims to show an analysis of the previous and current panorama of port activities taking divider as the Ports Law in Brazil .
