A importância do modal hidroviário para a consolidação da operação do Arco Norte

Abstract

Here are many internal factors that qualify the State of Pará as a logistics power in Latin America - Strategic geographical location; Immense watershed; Privileged geophysical condition; Multimodal access and other purposes. However, the most important and decisive factor is external and market. With the recent reopening of the Panama Canal, Pará is consolidating not only as the best commercial route for Brazilian agribusiness with the main consumer markets in the world. It naturally presents itself as a potential hub for multi-sector investments such as Ports, Shipyards, Multimodal Infrastructure and above all, as a center of excellence in R & D for the Shipbuilding and Repair Industry for Brazil and for the Pan-Amazon Region. The full utilization of the logistic corridors of the State of Pará will provide to the Brazilian agribusiness not only the reduction of losses, transite time and freight costs. It will provide the consolidation of a strategic export route, more economical, safe and competitive, raising Brazil to a position and a privileged condition facing the international market. As a multiplier effect, this scenario will also promote a timely window of opportunities for the supply chain through a "bubble" of investments, especially in the Naval industry and which, as a direct consequence, will generate new jobs, increase the population's income and the collection of foreign exchange to the state.
