Due to Brazil’s large coast and extensive rivers, there are many ports spread out throughout the country with unique legislations. Currently Brazil has 37 public ports and over 140 privately owned terminals. The majority of these ports are undergoing improvements, such as the implementation of Vessel Traffic Services (VTS).
SHELTER has extensive experience in project management and implementation of customized solutions for customer needs, focusing on the regions of the Brazilian ports of Santos and Rio de Janeiro.
Aside from maritime experience, the directors and consultants at SHELTER have extensive and high-level management experience in the ports, terminals and maritime transport for both oceanic and river ports. Moreover, one of SHELTER’s Directors is a Former Captain of the Ports, thus providing clients and partners with valuable insights as to how the Brazilian ports work.
