Norsul and Port of Açu begin cabotage service

Companhia de Navegação Norsul and Port of  Açu began a new container cabotage transport service via sea train between the Port of  Rio de Janeiro and the Port of Açu. The first operation was carried out in the “short distance feeder” mode, and transported 23 containers contracted by the company TechnipFMC from Rio de Janeiro to Açu port, in São João da Barra, RJ. The containers of ornamental rocks will be leaving the Port of Açu for the Port of Rio, connecting with export services to Latin America and the United States.

Signed in April this year, the partnership between the port enterprise and the maritime logistics company will establish an integrated connection between the companies in the northern  Fluminense region of RJ state, Espírito Santo, and Minas Gerais and the rest of the world via the Multicargas Terminal (T-MULT) of Porto do Açu.

This first cargo that arrives at Port of Açu by sea train will be stored in the T-MULT and will be delivered to the customer’s base located inside of the port itself.  The service has a transport capacity of up to 350 units per stretch (Rio x Açu and Açu x Rio), with regular bi-weekly departures, meeting regional demands, and also long-haul routes.
