4. Inland Waterways System In the begging, territory occupation Waterways as National Transportation since 1887 until 1927

7. Agenda Inland Waterways System Main Waterways Systems Actual Transportation PotentialChallengesConclusion

8. Main Waterways Systems National Multimodal Plan Law 5.917, 19 th December 1973 New Plan under Congress Revision Law 12.379, 6 th January 2011

12. Main Waterways Systems The main basins: The main basins: Amazon (Amazonas, Madeira, Tocantins) Parana (Paraná, Tietê) Paraguay (Paraguai, Paraná) South (Taquari, Lagoa dos Patos)

18. TUCURUÍ LOCKS SYSTEM Two Locks: 33m x 210 m Lift Height: (36,5 + 35) m Draft Clearance; (6 – 3,5) m Intermediary Channel (with reservoir): 5,5 km long

26. PARANÁ – TIETÊ WATERWAY

40. Agenda Inland Waterways System Main Waterways Systems Actual Transportation PotentialChallengesConclusion

41. Low, considering the existing potential The main basins: Amazon (Amazonas, Madeira, Tocantins) Parana (Paraná, Tietê) Paraguay (Paraguai, Paraná) South (Taquari, Lagoa dos Patos)

45. Agenda Inland Waterways System Main Waterways Systems Actual Transportation PotentialChallengesConclusion

46. Potential Huge infrastructure without use: 43.000 km potential, only 13.947 km with cargo transport Improve the IWT participation

50. Investment Transport Infrastructure / GNP (%)

51. NATIONAL LOGISITC TRANSPORTATION PLAN – PNLT Many years without multimodal planning Many years without multimodal planning Since 1950’s, terrestrial infrastructure prioritized against railways and waterway Since 1950’s, terrestrial infrastructure prioritized against railways and waterway 2007 back to transport planning (PNLT): 2007 back to transport planning (PNLT): Reduce cost transportation Reduce cost transportation Improve the transportation mode split with better energy efficiency and less pollution Improve the transportation mode split with better energy efficiency and less pollution Return to investment Return to investment

53. Agenda Inland Waterways System Main Waterways Systems Actual Transportation PotentialChallengesConclusion

54. Challenges – Environment protection Improve energy efficiency, and reduce costs Improve energy efficiency, and reduce costs Contribution to the environment, reducing pollution Contribution to the environment, reducing pollution Following the international experience, preventing/reducing traffic congestion Following the international experience, preventing/reducing traffic congestion

55. Challenges – Environment protection The proposed PNLT shift of transportation mode for 2025 induces the benefits: improves 38% energy efficiency improves 38% energy efficiency produces 41% reduction of fuel consumption produces 41% reduction of fuel consumption reduces 39% of NOx emission reduces 39% of NOx emission reduces 32% in CO² emission reduces 32% in CO² emission (transportation varying from 850,9 to 1.510, 4 billions tons per kilometer) (transportation varying from 850,9 to 1.510, 4 billions tons per kilometer)

56. Challenges – Use of Water Resources Hydropower versus IWT Hydropower versus IWT Hydropower Dams constructed without Locks Hydropower Dams constructed without Locks The existing potential of water resources induces the production of this type of energy The existing potential of water resources induces the production of this type of energy Difficult to IWT follow the energy rhythm of investments Difficult to IWT follow the energy rhythm of investments

62. Challenges – Policy for IWT Development New ways for funding the IWT infrastructure New ways for funding the IWT infrastructure

63. How to secure funding possibilities?

64. Challenges – Policy for IWT Development Induce private sector to explore the IWT Induce private sector to explore the IWT Induce private sector to explore ports and terminal Induce private sector to explore ports and terminal Induce industrial development along the IW Induce industrial development along the IW Induce the intermodaliry (Water, Road, Rail) Induce the intermodaliry (Water, Road, Rail)

65. Agenda Inland Waterways System Main Waterways Systems Actual Transportation PotentialChallengesConclusion

66. Conclusions Changing needs Changing needs Improve energy efficiency in transportation, for better costs and environment protection Improve energy efficiency in transportation, for better costs and environment protection New standards for financing IWT infrastructure New standards for financing IWT infrastructure Guarantee multiple uses of WR (energy + IWT) Guarantee multiple uses of WR (energy + IWT) Incentives for private participation in IWT Incentives for private participation in IWT Define a Strategic Waterway Plan that proposes a new policy for improving IWT Define a Strategic Waterway Plan that proposes a new policy for improving IWT
