The Santos Port Authority (SPA) has just joined the World Logistics Passport (WLP) customer-loyalty program based on partnerships promoting commercial transactions through the Port of Santos via international cooperation. The WLP was designed to overcome non-tariff trade barriers, such as the logistical inefficiency that currently limits the growth of trade between developing markets. SPA’s purpose through the WLP Program is to provide advantages for customers and users who are willing to increase their operations and, therefore, foster new business. More than 20 countries are part of the program so far, including India, China, South Africa, Indonesia, Dubai, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Senegal, Kazakhstan. The Global Passport makes it easier for participating countries to diversify trade in their products, increasing market share for key products and creating new trading partnerships. WLP offers its members access to three levels of benefits (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) provided by a range of partners that involve airport authorities, port operators, airports, logistics operators, customs services, and others that are essential for more efficient supply chains.
