Brazilian cabotage increased by 1.6% in 2023 following a little decline in 2022, continuing a recent increasing trend with an average annual growth of 6%. The first two months of 2024 saw a notable rise in cabotage cargo handling at the ports of Paraná, especially Antonina, and Paranaguá, with a 51.11% increase over the same period in 2023. Ports that offer price discounts encourage cabotage as a crucial logistical solution to save transportation costs and relieve the strain of road transportation. It provides delivery assurance and predictability for a wide range of items.
