Abstract

Brazil has the potential to develop Green corridor systems using sustainable transport and innovative technology in its freight operations. Due to the territorial extension of the country, water transportation would be the most appropriate. This work analyzes the characteristics of the systems of Green corridors of Europe and the perspectives for implantation of these technologies in Brazil. Increasing the efficiency of transport modes through the creation of corridors and consequent improvement of resources would reduce the need for investments to increase the capacity of transport networks in a scenario of budgetary caution and opposition to large projects of infrastructure in regions close to urban centers. The use of short sea shipping, which is maritime transport on the coast of a country, is a means that can increase Brazil’s logistics competitiveness, and allow the reduction of operational costs and the number of public ports along the Brazilian coast.
