Brado Logística, a shipping container company created by ALL in December of last year, will finish this year having transported 81 thousand shipping containers (both empty and full). “Our estimate is that this volume will increase sixfold in the next five years and will reach 500 thousand shipping containers by 2016”, states Brado’s CEO José Luis Demeterco Neto. If they achieve this goal, he believes that company’s market participation will go from its current 2% to 11%.
According to the executive, in 2012 the company should make investments in the order of US$ 140.76 million, with 80% of this value intended for purchasing 10 locomotives and 600 cars. The resources are part of the US$ 675.67 million of investments announced in the company’s first five years. In 2011, US$ 67.56 million was applied, according to Demeterco. We bought four locomotives, which we started receiving this week, and 145 double cars. We should receive the rest by December, he affirmed.
According to Demeterco, the company also invested in the construction of an intermodal road-railroad terminal between Araraquara and Américo Brasiliense, in the São Paulo state countryside, which should be finished in November, as well as in the renovation of 11 platforms, which will be finished by the end of this year. All of this will bring together more than 30% of the fleet of 1,300 shipping containers that we currently have. Recently Brado signed a partnership with Grupo Libra for intermodal services, and is also negotiating other similar partnerships. ALL possesses 80% of Brado, and Standard owns the other 20%.
