According to the executive secretary of the Infrastructure Ministry, Marcelo Sampaio, this month the federal government is due to present a project to the National Congress that encourages cabotage in Brazil.

“BR do Mar will be the largest cabotage incentive program in our history,” said the secretary on Monday (June 1) during a virtual seminar promoted by FGV Transportes. Through the project, the federal government intends to adjust the legislation in order to increase supply, encourage competition, create more routes and reduce costs of this type of navigation, in order to make it a logistical alternative to the highway.

“We believe that, in June, this project will go to Congress and, therefore, allow a significant advance in the cabotage sector”, said Sampaio, divulging some of the points that will be in the proposal.
