The Fair aims to present interested entrepreneurs, organizations, people and professionals in the aforementioned segments with news in the sector, new knowledge, innovation and technologies, strengthening the growth of the Naval Pole in Amazonas.
Ramond Beckman and Reporter Carlos Motta from Portal Folha da Floresta, represented SINDFLU-AM, visiting the fair's stands in search of technological innovations that will be passed on to members and the entire Riverboat category.
We visited the ARSEPAM stand, where we scheduled a meeting with the president director João Rufino, through his advisor, where we will discuss the pilotage bill, which is being processed in Brasília. We also visited the ICOM stand, which presented, among these new features, the new nautical charts that provide greater security for both companies and river workers, during navigation along the rivers of the Amazon hydrographic basin, with 63 thousand km of rivers, with Only 30.9% of this network is used commercially by inland navigation, we need to increase cargo movement throughout the national territory and this includes the Amazon. We agreed with the ICOM representative to visit the union to present these great news. On this occasion, we got to know the JARAQUI project, which is carried out by UEA students, and we also had a conversation with the Executive Secretary of SEDECTI
It is evident that Manaus has a high growth rate in the volume of cargo in the country's river logistics, mainly consumed by industries in the Manaus Industrial Pole. That is why the fair is extremely important for the follow-up
˝The Amazon River and its tributaries have great potential for river navigation. Navegistic will be a platform that will help to generate new business within the growth that is already occurring, with the contribution of disseminating new professional techniques by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), the International Maritime Forum of Petroleum Companies, in which we intend to expand the dissemination of new technologies within the naval industry, with the generation of new business in the northern region of Brazil”, emphasizes Lucas Varela, one of the directors of Navegistic.
For the director of SINDFLU-AM, Ramond Beckman, the event was a great opportunity to absorb knowledge regarding the latest developments in the expansion of naval logistics in the state with the inclusion of workers in the river navigation sector ˝It was excellent to participate in this event. River workers must always be up to date with the latest technological innovations in navigation in the Amazon.
