A implantação da hidrovia do Rio Tabajós e a segurança da navegação: reflexos para a Marinha do Brasil e na redução do Custo Brasil

Abstract

The growth of the Brazili an agricultural frontier soya produc tion has occurred in parallel to the government stimulus for investment in infrastructure, such as waterways, ports, railroads and highways, which allow a more efficient flow of product. For waterways, is achieved transporting bulk loads over long distance s. The Midwest region flows grain production, mainly to t he ports of Santos and Paranaguá , through roads and ports in the South and Southeast, due to the higher provided support. The great distances involved and the indication of saturation of this logisti cs corridor have led to the search for alternatives to the production flow. In this sense, to improve the flow of agricultural production in the Midwest and reduce the Brazil C ost, the logistics corridor of the North Arch has manifested itself as a solutio n. The advance of this corridor involves the realization of infrastructure projects, one being the implementation of Waterway Tapajós river. This work aims to identify how the Brazilian Navy can contribute to the implementation of this waterway through the navigation security increase and consequently the safety of life and prevention of water pollution, so that it is possible and feasible the flow of agricultural production in the Center - West and North by logistics corridor North Arch, contributing to soci o - economic progress and the reduction of the Brazil C ost.
