New York, United States Feb 7, 2025  – Modern Logistics Brazil is launching “Amazonas Conectado” to address the severe Amazon drought impacting cargo transport.

The record drought is disrupting river traffic and hindering businesses in the Amazon. Modern Logistics, a leading South American integrated logistics company, is leveraging its expertise and proprietary platform to mitigate these challenges for its clients. A key player in the Manaus Industrial Hub, the company is expanding services within the free-trade zone, implementing a crucial SEA-AIR service that transfers import cargo from various Brazilian ports to Manaus via its network and partners. This cargo is then airlifted using Modern Logistics’ Boeing 737s and a chartered 747 for distribution across Brazil. The company’s infrastructure includes warehousing and a road network, including a large warehouse in Manaus. This multimodal approach enables efficient transport of various goods, including perishable items, high-value goods, hazardous materials, and pharmaceuticals, reducing reliance on river transport.

Modern Logistics provides rapid air delivery, including collection and delivery within 24 hours. Alternative, cost-effective air and road transport options are also available. Despite reduced river capacity, Modern Logistics has expanded its road operations, maintaining its market-leading service quality. Road shipments between Manaus and São Paulo take 10 to 14 days. CEO Cristiano Koga emphasizes efficient operations with minimal financial impact on clients. He notes that the benefits of fluid logistics outweigh any additional costs, considering the positive impact on industries and the region’s socioeconomic well-being. The company employs Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Warehousing Systems (WMS) to optimize operations, reduce costs, and meet deadlines. Data security is a priority, utilizing robust systems, encryption, and access controls to ensure compliance with data protection and cybersecurity standards.
