SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Brazil's waterway transportation system (2019-2021). Ports exhibited resilience, experiencing cargo growth despite the pandemic, while organized ports led the increase in long-haul navigation. Cabotage remained stable but was affected by reduced petroleum demand. Inland navigation faced fluctuations, reflecting market adaptability. Challenges encompassed health restrictions, supply chain disruptions, and demand shifts. Solutions involve technology investment, trend monitoring, and safety protocols. This study underscores the sector's adaptability and resilience in navigating the pandemic's challenges, crucial for its sustained contribution to Brazil's economy.
