Brazex arrives at Sepetiba Tecon with port of call

Sepetiba Tecon has just expanded its route portfolio with the conquest of one more service: Brazil Express. Known as Brazex, the service belongs to shipowner CMA CGM and connects the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and North South America to the terminal, with biweekly export port of calls that always happens on Fridays.

Brazex does stopovers at the ports of New Orleans, Houston, Freeport, Veracruz, Kingston, Cartagena, and Manzanillo, and Sepetiba Tecon is expected to make the first port of call in early January. For Augusto Wagner Padilha Martins, CEO of Sepetiba Tecon, the arrival of Brazex to the terminal once again certifies Sepetiba Tecon as one of the main seaports of Brazilian foreign trade. “In addition to a deep water port, we are a benchmark in productivity, with excellence in our operation and the arrival of this new service to the terminal reaffirms this image,” says Martins.

Sepetiba Tecon predicts that around 600 containers will be handled per port of call. In addition, Brazex will also handle break bulk cargo, with special emphasis and advantages for the oil & gas sector, as some of the scheduled ports are the main ports of entry and exit of the oil sector.

Sepetiba Tecon also has services that weekly serve Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia and has the capacity to receive large ships, concentrating and distributing cargo to other Brazilian ports. Another type of service that makes the terminal stand out is cabotage. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, Sepetiba Tecon is the only one that has regular cabotage lines for containerized cargo. There are 2 services, with 3 weekly port of calls, that connect Sepetiba Tecon to other ports in the country.
