Navegação de cabotagem: a atuação estatal frente à necessidade da regulamentação setorial independente

Abstract

Currently, Brazil has an intrinsically precarious transport matrix, which impairs the logistics of transporting produced goods to points of consumption. In this way, Maritime Law and Regulatory Law become essential with regard to the effectiveness of the regulation of waterway transport and port activities, since cabotage navigation represents an effective alternative to complement the transport matrix. In this way, the relevance of Maritime and Regulatory Law and the role of the State in promoting cabotage navigation will be analyzed with regard to logistics and effectiveness in the regulatory rules for the flow of goods in Brazil. This is a descriptive research, based on a qualitative approach, whose elaboration of the facts and the consequent conclusion was made from the case study, with the application of bibliographic sources, with research carried out from reading magazines, books and, mainly, of published articles and news, since they are the most used way to obtain information by Brazilians.
