Desafios Logísticos do Transporte Fluvial Amazônico

Abstract

The Amazon region is known for its stunning landscapes and extensive rivers. These characteristics influence the waterway modal to be the main one in the region, but it is necessary to consider correct and effective ways to deal with the ebb and flow that year after year has become more extreme and prolonged, impacting the local economy and the daily life of inhabitants and companies. The objective of this work is to reflect on the general aspects of transport logistics, understand the waterway model and how it develops in the Amazon River. In addition, being a modal completely linked to environmental issues, we will analyze actions aimed at sustainability and environmental health. From this we will narrow the research to the consequences perceived in the Manaus Industrial Pole by local professionals and generate reflection on the main consequences of the lack of planning, the real needs for change and possible actions to combat the difficulties present in the dry season of the rivers in the Amazon.
