Gestão de custo no transporte marítimo de cargas no Brasil

Abstract

The importance of water transport is given by different modes of navigation can be by river, lake and sea. For the logistics and the Brazilian economy this is a very important shift, given the plurality of transport because of the relationship of exports and imports occur especially for this type of shift. In Brazil there are five modes of transport, water transport, road, aviation, rail and pipeline. Will be described in later chapters the characteristics of each type of shift, specifically the roadway and water transport, in particular cabotage, the main object of this study. The objective of this study is to analyze the current situation of transport in Brazil, especially the coasters. By three criteria, costs, travel time and safety, an attempt will be to evaluate the quality of the shift in order to identify the existence of critical points and suggest possible solutions based on logistics and technology, key tools for search effectiveness in reducing transport costs, contributing to a better outcome of the final logistic costs. For a reflection on the national transport of goods by sea by cabotage, will present the main characteristics of the sea, with its advantages and disadvantages and its importance for the Brazilian economy. The criticism will involve the issue of freight and discussing its relationship variables that make up the price of shipping. Technological tools essential for efficient operations will also be addressed during this work. We will describe the characteristics of the Brazilian ports, in particular the ports of Rio Grande (RS), Santos (SP), Suape (PE) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ), the distance between the port of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and other as well as the related travel time between them. Operated by the Union directly or through concessions (preceded by auctioning), organized port, built and equipped to meet needs of shipping and handling is managed by the Port Authority - CAP - and we also have to figure OGMO - Organ Manager Labor, which controls the work force in the port area, the bodies established by Law No. 8630 of 25 February 1993, called the Law of Modernization of Ports. Finally the variables will be considered cost, time travel and security in order to contribute to a reflection on the growth of cabotage transport in Brazil, trying to identify a substantial gain in the Brazilian economy, through economies of scale, observed all the necessary parameters for the proper development of the logistics of transporting goods by sea. This paper will address the Management of Maritime Carriage of Cargo in Brazil, in particular cabotage.
