Research and Markets: Brazil Shipping Report Q1 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fbbde1/brazil_shipping_re) has announced the addition of the "Brazil Shipping Report Q1 2011" report to their offering.

The Brazil Freight Transport Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, freight transportation associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Brazil's freight transportation industry.

Demands on Brazil's ports have increased in line with the growth of its trade sector and consumer base over the past few years. The pace of recovery in Brazil's maritime sector in 2010 took many by surprise, with throughput at Santos building on 2009's unexpected 2.6% growth with an increase in of 16.9% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2010. BMI notes that Brazil's ports have not yet developed the infrastructure needed to handle this level of growth. Its ports are poor by international standards, ranking 126th out of the 133 nations surveyed in the World Economic Forum's 2010 Global Competitiveness Report. BMI believes that this lack of investment needs to be rectified to prevent congestion during periods of high demand.
