The Project 4199/2020, that creates the cabotage incentive program, pending on an urgent basis in the Chamber of Deputies. The idea is to increase the offer and quality of this type of transport in the country, which consists of navigation between ports on the same coast as a country.

It's a safe mode of transportation, efficient and low cost. And although Brazil is a continental country, with almost 8 thousand km of coastline, the movement of national cargo through this modal represents only 11% of participation of the country's logistics matrix. So, the goal is to transform the extensive Brazilian coast into a great avenue.

With the boost in cabotage navigation, it will be possible to increase the volume of containers transported per year, going out of 1.2 million in 2019, to 2 million in 2022. The initiative will also increase the capacity of the maritime fleet dedicated to cabotage by 40% in the next three years, excluding those operating in oil and oil products.

Now that you know what cabotage is and discovered several details about this incentive program launched by the Government, how about getting to know a Transport Management System (TMS), able to manage all the complexity that this modality needs?

Signa with TMS e-cargo has been doing this for over 15 years, that is, that it deals with all these issues naturally, due to his vast experience in this matter, and in addition has the honor of serving the three main companies in this field with its multimodal transport management solution.
