NDI Log, specialized in logistics, anticipates a growth of up to 40% in the second half of the year. This optimism is related to the increase in container handling, as well as the various solutions offered by the company, all supervised by manager Fabricio Tomaz.
Based in Santa Catarina, the company has heavily invested in its logistics operations to ensure this expansion.

NDI Log’s commitment to operational excellence is a crucial factor for the projected increase.

Expansion at the Ports of Santa Catarina
For the year in question, it is expected that the SC ports will continue their growth trajectory. Portonave, for example, experienced a 40% increase in ship productivity compared to the first half of the previous year. During the same period, the Port of São Francisco do Sul recorded a 16% increase in cargo handling. The Port of Itapoá was not left behind, with a 12% increase in container handling compared to the first six months of 2023. This positive scenario raises the demand for logistics centers in the northern area of Santa Catarina, a significant port hub in Brazil serving the ports of Navegantes-Itajaí (Portonave), São Francisco do Sul, and Itapoá.
Logistics Solutions from NDI Log
Fabricio Tomaz, logistics manager at NDI Log, mentions that the significant increase in the demand for logistics services in the region is due to the company’s strategic location and the solutions provided, which promote the financial sustainability of importing companies. NDI Log expects a growth of up to 40% in operations in the second half of 2024. According to Fábio Silva, the company’s director, the progress in cargo movement at SC ports is beneficial. ‘There have been substantial investments in the modernization and expansion of port infrastructures in the state, as well as in advanced technologies to improve efficiency and speed of operations‘, states Silva.
Competitiveness Factors in Santa Catarina
The geographical positioning and the tax incentives in Santa Catarina are favorable elements that boost both logistics centers and regional ports. Santa Catarina is strategically located between Brazil’s largest production and consumption centers and close to Mercosur markets, with excellent road connections that facilitate logistics and reduce transportation costs. Overall operational efficiency is a crucial competitive differentiator for SC ports. To optimize clients’ logistics planning, NDI Log offers highly technological and innovative services aimed at reducing operational costs.
Cost Reduction with Intelligent Logistics
With the increase in freight from Asia due to conflicts in the Middle East, reducing logistics costs is vital for importing companies to sustain their businesses. ‘We have intelligent and personalized services for each client that can reduce cubic volume and consequently, import costs’, comments Silva, ensuring that the container capacity is maximized through the company’s assembly solutions. To keep up with the growing demand, NDI Log plans to create a high-security area for higher value-added products and expand e-commerce operations and product assembly.
Investments in Infrastructure
In pursuit of constant improvements, the company has invested in security, storage capacity, and infrastructure. The facilities include a helipad and a community center for employees. ‘These initiatives not only elevate our operational standards but also reinforce our competitive position in the logistics market, demonstrating our commitment to excellence and flexibility in meeting the emerging needs of clients’, concludes Fábio.
