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.
