O Br do Mar: análise do mercado de cabotagem do Brasil e seus conflitos

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how Cabotage has the capacity to be one of the main transport systems in Brazil, how BR do Mar deals with the subject and why a country with such a navigable coast still has such an outdated waterway market. For this, the barriers of the sector will be evaluated, what are the Government's failures in the Brazilian cabotage business, the ideological discussions around this sector and the interests underlying the amendments to the BR do Mar and in which it converges with the sector's demands (users) . Cabotage has historically had its golden years in the Brazilian market, but the lack or excessive care for the sector led to the creation of the BR do Mar Bill, where the promise is to encourage the Brazilian cabotage market through liberalization of the sector. Many discussions fostered the project and agents in this market already had many pending improvements, BR do Mar initially promised to solve these problems. Even in the face of this encouraging horizon, major conflicts of interest were created and changed the Bill. It is concluded that through further studies and discussions and with the use of impartial experts in the area, it is possible to reach a solution that does not please, but please everyone.
