ABAC - ASSOCIAÇÃO BRASILEIRA DOS ARMADORES DE CABOTAGEM

The ABAC – Brazilian Association of Cabotage Shipowners aims to contribute to the expansion of offshore cabotage transport, as well as integration with Mercosul countries, seeking to regain a prominent position in transoceanic transport. The industry operates in the containers, solid bulk, liquid bulk and general cargo segments. In recent years, there has been great growth in the movement of containers along the Brazilian coast, through multimodal operations where some associated companies operate intensely. General cargo transportation and project cargo also showed growth. In this way, the associated companies respond positively to new demands and are ready to meet new ones that arise. The ABAC was selected by the board of ICS – The International Chamber of Shipping, to be its affiliate member.ICS is the leading international trade association focused on commercial operators and shipowners, representing all sectors and trades and more than 80% of the global commercial fleet.
