BMF Advices is pleased to recommend participation in the upcoming commercial mission for sustainable port development in Brazil, taking place from March 3 to 7, 2024. This mission is led by Robert Simons, locoburgemeester and wethouder (deputy mayor and councilor) in Rotterdam.

This mission provides a unique opportunity for companies involved in the port development sector to explore their possibilities in Brazil. The itinerary includes a visit to the largest Latin American trade fair in the logistics sector, Intermodal in São Paulo, as well as an exploration of the port of Rio Grande. Additionally, it offers an exceptional chance to establish valuable contacts with stakeholders in the Brazilian port sector.

Port Development in Brazil: Opportunities and Challenges.

Ports play a crucial role in the Brazilian economy, responsible for nearly 95% of cargo transportation in the country. An annual increase of 5 to 10% in cargo is expected in the coming years, challenging the logistical capacity of Brazilian ports.

In addition to addressing this growth, Brazilian ports are undergoing a transition to make their operations more sustainable. Projects such as offshore wind parks play a significant role in this transformation, contributing to the production of green energy, including hydrogen production.

Opportunities for Dutch Companies.

Faced with these challenges, Brazil is seeking innovative and sustainable solutions, creating an opportunity for Dutch companies. With extensive expertise in ports, logistics, innovation, and sustainability, companies from the Netherlands have a unique ability to contribute to port development in Brazil.
