Cabotage Transport Reduces Distances, Provides Greater Security, Fewer Damages, and Lower Costs.

It is a challenging task to connect a country with an expressive territorial proportion like Brazil! Unfortunately, there are still several regions that are hard to access by road or rail in the country, and therefore, Mercosul Line, a Brazilian shipping company that is part of the CMA CGM Group, a global player in maritime, land, air, and logistics solutions, operates multimodal logistics, using cabotage as the main operational modal to provide uninterrupted service to its customers.

Currently, even with technological advances, there are still populations that, due to living far from large centers, suffer negative impacts on the supply of essential items for their daily lives. According to data from the Riversides Peoples Project, an initiative of the General Secretariat of Missions (SGM) aimed at supporting actions that benefit the quality of life of Brazilian riverside communities, 37,000 people live in isolation, along the banks of the rivers that cut through the largest Brazilian state, Amazonas, whose access is only viable by boat. In this scenario, cabotage plays a fundamental role in meeting the needs of the most remote places in the country.

Value of Products Transported by Ship Can Be Reduced by Up to 20% Compared to Road Transport

“Brazil has nearly 8,000 kilometers of coastline, facilitating the choice of cabotage as the main modal for the country’s connection. With this, the costs of products transported by ship can be reduced by 15% to 20% compared to road transport. This can positively impact the cost of living in an entire region,” says Valter Branco, Multimodal Transport Manager at Mercosul Line.
