“We will reduce transportation costs all over Brazil. Today, iron ore becomes steel in the south and reaches the northeast 40% more expensive than if it had gone to China and come back. This is due to transportation costs,” Guedes said enthusiastically in the video.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, The Amplification of Containers Moved Will Be the Great Highlight of This Bill

On the official MInfra page, there is an official note about the text of this bill, which highlights the generation of new maritime routes, reducing expenses with the currently most used transportation method, which is road transport by trucks and trailers. This increase of 40% by 2022 could mean an additional 2 million TEUs of cargo moved.

“The project will allow for the reduction of costs. We estimate a 40% increase in the fleet in the next three years,” said the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Freitas, in a video during the announcement of BR do Mar.

In the Federal Government’s View, the Bill Benefits 4 Fundamental Aspects of Cabotage: Costs, Ports, Shipbuilding Industry, and Fleet.

Costs – The restructuring should act on the bureaucratic procedures of navigation between Brazilian ports, aiming to reduce taxes and expedite them.
Ports – With more flow of vessels and large ships, the port terminals will have more operations and will be modernized, generating job openings and specialization programs
Shipbuilding Industry – Stimulus for the docking of vessels with international flags, marketing of equipment for ships, and maximization of services in the sector
Fleet – Companies and ports will have the autonomy to decide where to build their ships, in addition to reducing bureaucracy for the registration of waterway traffic movements.
