Brazil Has Waterways That Carry About 110 Million Tons of Products Per Year, However Its Participation in the Transport Matrix Is Still Very Low. This Reality Recently Changed When Hidrovias do Brasil Started the Journey of the Largest River Convoy in the Country.

The convoy is made up of 35 barges and has the capacity to carry up to 70 thousand tons, being able to replace 1,666 trucks per trip. The aim of this new composition is to increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

In addition, it was necessary to train the crew to ensure navigation safety. The journey began at the Private Use Terminal (TUP) in Barcarena/PA, heading to the Cargo Transshipment Station (ETC) in Itaituba/PA.

Founded in 2010, Hidrovias do Brasil focuses on river transport in South America and operates in four different areas. In the North, it offers a logistical alternative for the transport and flow of grains primarily from the Brazilian Midwest region, with a capacity to move 7.2 million tons per year.

In Coastal Shipping, it conducts the transport of minerals, with a focus on bauxite. In the South, the company operates on the Paraguay-Paraná Waterway, with the capacity to handle nearly 6 million tons per year in various cargoes.

These include grains originating from Paraguay intended for export, iron ore leaving Corumbá destined for the Argentine industry and export, as well as fertilizers and cellulose. Thus, the company is also a lessee of the STS20 area of the Port of Santos, which is designated for the receipt, storage, and shipment of salt and fertilizers.

This area has an annual capacity that can reach 3.5 million tons. Thus, Hidrovias do Brasil is a leader in the logistics sector in the Northern region of the country and offers smart solutions for its clients. Its services allow products to be transported quickly with safety and precision.

The company has invested in modern technology to ensure that services are executed with high quality. In any case, it has highly qualified and trained professionals to operate the necessary equipment for cargo transport.

Currently, Hidrovias do Brasil is present throughout South America and contributes significantly to the region’s development. Its objective is to provide a personalized service to each client with competitive costs and reasonable delivery times. With its extensive logistics network covering all countries in the South American region, it seeks to increasingly expand its operations across these countries.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

New selection confirmed: The Merchant Marine Entrance Exam offers 368 vacancies for Officer training in 2027 with free course, online applications, and EFOMM’s national selection process.

Italy opens the Grottino del Campidoglio in Rome with 3,000 m² of tunnels sealed by Mussolini in 1929 and over $2.8 million in restoration after almost a century closed.

FGTS money to buy weapons? Project advances in the Chamber and puts workers, public safety, and social fund at the center of the discussion

Inflation is up 0.67% in April, and rising food prices maintain pressure on the cost of living for Brazilians.

NATO investigates the tenth submarine cable cut in the Baltic since 2022, and the Chinese ship Yi Peng 3 becomes the face of the Russian shadow fleet’s hybrid warfare on the seabed.

A ship from China brought over 5,000 electric cars to Brazil at once: it was the largest operation ever recorded by the port, with 5,101 vehicles disembarking in Paranaguá.

The 17-meter, 20-ton monster that the US built in 1939 to dominate Antarctica — and that could only move by driving in reverse: the Snow Cruiser cost US$150,000 and was abandoned forever.

Chinese wind components arrive at the Port of Fortaleza with 76 pieces for wind turbines and continue by road to a wind farm in Rio Grande do Norte.

China completes the world’s largest diameter underwater tunnel under the Yellow River: 17.5 meters in diameter, two levels, six lanes, and a 163-meter TBM named Shanhe.

Brazil’s largest highway receives 20.3 kilometers of new lanes on BR-116/RS, expands the stretch between Porto Alegre and Novo Hamburgo, and promises smoother traffic for 140,000 vehicles per day.
