The Partnership Established Between Porto do Açu Operações and Norsul Enables Maritime Transportation of Cargo in the “Short Distance” Modality Between Ports in the Southeast

The Navigation Company Norsul and Porto do Açu Operações have begun operating a new short-distance maritime transportation service for containers and project cargo between the Brazilian ports in the Southeast, which promises to integrate the region with regional and international trade routes. The information was provided by Porto do Açu itself yesterday (15), through its official communication channels.

Partnership Between Porto do Açu and Norsul Was Established in March This Year

In March 2020, the companies signed the contract to offer these services in national waters. The partnership makes it feasible to transport short-distance maritime units and project cargo between the Southeast, establishing an integrated network among companies in Northern Fluminense, Espírito Santo, and Minas Gerais, through the Porto do Açu Multicargo Terminal (T-MULT).

The prospect is that the use of ocean convoys will enable a reduction in logistics costs and road traffic, offering greater safety and predictability, as well as sustainability. The transportation service will have a capacity of up to 350 units per trip, with regular departures, capable of meeting regional demands and long-haul routes.

Maritime Service Is an Attractive and Competitive Logistic Alternative

“This agreement highlights our vision of the “feeder” service as a necessary and complementary instrument to large Brazilian cabotage, mainly due to its magnitude and distances. At Açu, we will prove the value of this logistic alternative, competitive and attractive to clients from different segments,” informed Marcelo Bacellar, Commercial and Marketing Director at Norsul.

Operating since 2014, Porto do Açu already handles cargo such as bulk solids, general cargo, iron ore, and oil. It has a strategic location in São João da Barra-RJ, containing 9 terminals, divided into offshore and onshore areas.
