During this year's historic drought, we have successfully navigated the challenges with the support of the temporary pier in Itacoatiara and the local service providers. This logistics solution was essential to maintain the flow of operations and reaffirm our commitment to keep your goods moving and your business growing.
With the resumption of calls in Manaus port, we will suspend the Low Water Surcharge as follows:
Expiration date for the import shipments to Manaus: PCD* 05/12/2024
Expiration date for the export shipments from Manaus: PCD* 15/12/2024
This decision reflects our commitment to offering effective logistics solutions, even in the face of the challenges imposed by nature.
River levels remain below average, requiring constant monitoring and operational adjustments due to capacity constraints.
We will keep monitoring the situation closely to ensure that our operations are carried out safely and efficiently. Depending on the development, further measures might need to be taken.
*PCD = Price Calculation Date.
