The Lack of Logistics Infrastructure and Its Impacts on the Brazilian Port Sector

Logistics in Brazil faces numerous challenges due to insufficient government investments and a non-collaborative ecosystem. This situation results in problems that affect and increase the cost of final products. According to the National Agency for Waterway Transportation (ANTAQ), Brazilian ports have an average waiting time for docking of 20 hours and an average ship stay of four days, values considered high compared to other countries. Athenas’ CEO, Rogério Magela, emphasizes that Brazil is still far from providing adequate support to ports, harming the final cost of products.

Comparison with Other Countries and the Need for Investment

According to data from ANTAQ, between January and December 2022, the Brazilian port sector handled 1.209 billion tons. Magela, a specialist in port management technology, estimates that this movement could be 25% more efficient if there were investment in infrastructure. He highlights that countries such as China and the United States invest billions of dollars in their port structures, providing greater cargo handling capacity and better logistical performance.

Innovation and Collaboration in the Logistics Sector through Athenas

Athenas, a company with over 23 years of experience in technology, logistics, and port and terminal operations, has been standing out by revolutionizing the sector with innovative solutions. Unlike other companies that try to solve problems in isolation, Athenas works to integrate and collaborate with the entire logistics chain, providing a competitive advantage for its clients. One example is the investment of R$ 306 million in the Port of Itaqui, in Maranhão, which allowed for better service to the demands of the state and neighboring states, generating a 15% increase in profits after the implementation of TOS+, its main product.

Overcoming Paradigms and Investing in Railway Infrastructure

Rogério Magela points out that it is necessary to break paradigms, such as the idea that it is impossible to create an efficient railway network in Brazil. He cites Europe as an example, where an enviable railway corridor represents one of the main engines of success in the region. Efficient drainage is as essential as agility in the port, railway, and road environments.

The Importance of Government Investment in Logistics Infrastructure

In order for Brazil to compete more effectively in the international market and ensure the competitiveness of products in the domestic market, Magela emphasizes the need for government investment in port infrastructure.
