Wilson Sons presents new solutions for maritime, port industry in Brazil and global logistics chain at Intermodal

At Intermodal South America, Wilson Sons wants to exchange information, strengthen relationships with stakeholders and present its portfolio at its F70 exhibition stand.

Its business diversification includes two container terminals (in Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul); 80 tugboats (the largest and most powerful fleet in Brazil); two shipyards in Guarujá (São Paulo); 23 offshore support vessels flying the Brazilian flag; two offshore support bases in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro); a bonded logistics facility in Santo André (São Paulo); and one of the largest independent shipping agencies in Brazil.

Tecon Rio Grande, based in Rio Grande do Sul, is the most automated facility in Brazil, while Tecon Salvador has just broken a productivity record at the new quay Santa Dulce dos Pobres. The new tugboats are the first in Brazil with the IMO TIER III standard established by the International Maritime Organization. With an innovative design, they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 14%. At the shipyards, 150 vessels were built and the company is currently in a new cycle of building six more sustainable tugboats. Two of them were delivered in 2022 (WS Centaurus and WS Orion), three will be delivered in 2023 and the last one, in early 2024.

Wilson Sons Digital Transformation director Eduardo Valença believes that Intermodal is a unique opportunity to exchange information, strengthen relationships, discuss innovation and show how companies in Brazil are working on this relevant agenda. “We are experiencing an unprecedented moment in the maritime and port industry, so we need to seize this opportunity and translate this moment into efficiency gains and more sustainable operations while promoting the emergence, development and proliferation of startups, with impacting solutions for our industry,” he says.
