IMPLANTAÇÃO DA PLATAFORMA LOGÍSTICA MULTIMODAL DE ANÁPOLIS: ASPECTOS CONCEITUAIS E DESAFIOS SOB A PERCEPÇÃO EMPRESARIAL

Abstract

The multimodal transport is the movement characterized by the use of more than one modal, done efficiently and with the responsibility of a single service provider through a single document. As it is increasingly seeking reduction in logistics costs and greater reliability in service, the use of more than one modal in Brazil emerges as a major opportunity for companies to become more competitive, since the railroads dominated the Brazilian transportation matrix, even for products and parts on which it is more competitive. In multimodal operations, terminals are structures that play a fundamental role in the economic viability of the alternative set. However, the initiatives and logistical solutions that address the use of more than one modal still run into issues of infrastructure and regulation, such as terminals for integration between the modes and regulation of the transport operation for more than one mode. This work is aimed at objective analysis of the implementation of logistics platform of Annapolis and its conceptual aspects based on the literature searches of Guimarães (2009), Duarte (2004) and others authors who have expertise and developed conclusive investigations in this field of studies. Thus we can conclude that the definition of the ideal way to manage multimodal logistics platform of Anápolis is at present a great challenge, once the results pointed out indicate an important economic vision for the state of Goiás, and for Brazil, of course.
