The Role of the Brazilian Ports in the Improvement of the National Ballast The Role of the Brazilian Ports in the Improvement of the National Ballast Water Management Program According the Provisions of the International Ballast Water Convention Uirá Cavalcante Oliveira The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2007 - 2008 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK, 2008 DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Brazil, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, Tulane University, or those of the Brazilian National Agency for Waterway Transportation. © 2008 Uirá Cavalcante Oliveira.

Ballast water has been identified as the main vector for the introduction of alien and harmful organisms into coastal zone waters, from which can originate ecological, social and economic impacts. In response to this problem, the International Maritime Organization has adopted the “International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments” (2004), which was partially internalized in Brazil through a federal norm named NORMAM-20 that provides the general IMO guidelines for ships exchanging their ballast water in oceanic waters beyond 200 nm. However, this measure presents limitations and a considerable number of vessels probably do not comply, or do so only partially. Therefore, the ballast water oceanic exchange cannot totally assure the prevention of new introductions. Port environment survey and monitoring systems are reported as essential to assess the risk of new introductions of harmful species and effective management of ballast water. In Brazil, the Port Authorities are responsible for leading the programs and measures of environmental control at their organized port areas mostly through the process of environmental licensing of ports. However, not many ports in Brazil have considered the ballast water issue as part of their environmental programs and the data raised cannot be integrated in a national management approach due the lack of specific standards and regulations. This paper will provide an overview of the current international provisions, mainly those established by the IMO on the matter, as well as describe how the subject is currently treated in Brazil, including through a review of national legislations, institutions, and observations on the limitations of the current approaches. Considering the improvement of the Brazilian approach, this study also intends to identify legal requirements and procedures for ballast water management in the United States and European countries that could be applied in Brazil. Regarding the role of ports in the national ballast water management program, this study will also review the possibility of establishing standardized procedures for environmental licensing of ports and terminals in Brazil, including the necessary criteria for ballast water management. - ii - Summary WORKING TITLE: The role of the Brazilian ports in the improvement of the national ballast water management program according the provisions of the International Ballast Water Convention.

Features and conservation of the Brazilian Pantanal wetland Arnildo Pott* and Vali Joana Pott Embrapa, Caixa postal 154, Campo Grande, MS, 79002-970 Brazil; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]) Accepted in revised form 18 July 2003 Key words: Aquatic vegetation, Ecology, Floodable grassland, Neotropical wetland, Savanna, Vegetation dynamics Abstract The Pantanal is a 140,000 km2 sedimentary floodplain in western Brazil and one of the largest wetlands in the world. The main landscapes and phytophysiognomies, according to flood origin, are briefly described and some of the characteristic plant species are mentioned: (a) river flood (1–5 m) on clayey eutrophic soils with gallery forests, pioneer forests and scrub, Tabebuia and Copernicia parks, seasonal swamps, grasslands and oxbow lakes; and (b) rain flood (10–80 cm) mainly on dystrophic sandy soils (72% of the total area) with savanna (‘‘cerrado’’) grasslands and woodlands, with or without ponds. Regulating factors of the vegetation such as wet-and-dry cycle and management are considered. Dynamics of the vegetation, in particular the aquatic types, are shortly depicted. The role of grazing for conservation is discussed, and we suggest that 200 years of cattle ranching apparently did not cause major changes in the vegetation, except turning tall grass into short swards, as the domestic herd found a nearly empty niche. However, severe threats to the flora and fauna of the Pantanal originate outside the floodplain. Siltation of the Taquari river is pointed out as the worst environmental problem, changing the hydrology (wet-and-dry to wet), fauna and flora, e.g.

It provides data on the cost of shipping soybeans, via highways and ocean, to Shanghai, China, and Hamburg, Germany. It also includes information about soybean production, exports, railways, ports, and infrastructural developments. Brazil is one of the most important U.S. competitors in the world oilseed market. Brazil’s competitiveness in the world market depends largely on its transportation infrastructure, both production and transportation cost, increases in planted area, and productivity. Brazilian and U.S. producers use the same advanced production and technological methods, making their soybeans relative substitutes. U.S soybean competitiveness worldwide rests upon critical factors such as transportation costs and infrastructure improvements. Brazil is gaining a cost advantage. However, the United States retains a significant share of global soybean exports.

  • The Potential Impacts of the Port of Salvador Improvements on the Brazilian Cotton Industry
    International Journal of Food and Agricultural Economics ISSN 2147-8988 Vol. 3 No. 1, (2015), pp. 45-61 THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE PORT OF SALVADOR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE BRAZILIAN COTTON INDUSTRY Rafael Costa Texas A&M University, Department of Agricultural Economics, College Station, Texas, USA, Email: [email protected] Parr Rosson Texas A&M University, Department of Agricultural Economics, College Station, Texas, USA. Ecio de Farias Costa Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Departamento de Economia, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. Abstract A spatial price equilibrium model of the international cotton sector was used to analyze the impacts of the Port of Salvador improvements on the Brazilian cotton industry and world cotton trade. The port of Salvador is undergoing relevant improvements in its facilities and physical structure. As a result of these improvements, the port of Salvador is expected to become more competitive and attract ocean shipping companies which are willing to export products directly to Asian importing markets. Scenarios with different reduction in export cost for the port of Salvador were examined. For all scenarios, the new direct ocean shipping lines were found to be important for the cotton exporters in Brazil, especially for the producers in the state of Bahia. In addition, results suggested that the state of Bahia would have the potential of becoming the largest cotton exporting state in Brazil. Keywords: Cotton, international trade, Brazil, spatial equilibrium model, transportation 1. Introduction and Background In the 18th century, cotton was introduced in Brazil in the Northeastern region of the country. As the Southeastern region of the country started to industrialize in late 1800’s, the textile industry followed and eventually cotton cultivation was solidified in the states of São Paulo and Paraná.

The diverse mosaics of habitats resulting from the varied soil types and inundation regimes are responsible for an extraordinarily rich terres- trial and aquatic biota, exemplified by the bird richest wetland in the world—463 birds have been recorded there—and the largest known populations of several threatened mammals, such as Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus), marsh deer ( Blastocerus dichotomus), giant otter ( Pteronura brasiliensis), and jaguar ( Panthera onca). Until recently, deforestation of the adjoining Brazilian central plateau was considered the major threat to this area, but now deforestation is a critical problem within the floodplain itself. More than 40% of the forest and savanna habitats have been altered for cattle ranching through the introduction of exotic grasses. And there are other threats that lead to large-scale disruption of ecological processes, severely affecting biodi- versity.

  • Santos: Main Port for Brazil and Japan Interchange
    POOORT OF SANTOS O THE PORT OF BRAZIL MAIN PORT FOR BRASIL AND JAPAN INTERCHANGE 1 Toshi-ichi Tachibana University of São Paulo SANTOS: MAIN PORT FOR BRASIL AND JAPAN INTERCHANGE "Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigg,gation, signed in Paris in France , November 5, 1895, was officially started diplomatic relations between Japan and Brazil . In 1908 the ship Kasato-maru docked in Santos, in São Paulo State, carrying the first 791 Japanese immigrants, and this event is the starting point for a close relationship between thihe two countries. 2 from 1908 to 1970, approximately 210 thousand Japanese immigrants came to Brazil and are incorporated in the formation of a new cultural identity, the Japanese-Brazilian. The result of these exchanges can be found in our day to day in many ways. The recent popularity of football in Japan is due to the performance of players and Brazilian technicians. The music and Brazilian cuisine has been appreciated by the Japp,anese, who increasing gyyply sympathize with Brazil and its people, known for his joyful spirit and big heart. 3 A bilingual dictionary Portuguese Japanese came to be edited in the old 1602,,p when Japan came out of the feudal era and join the process of political unification and territorial. It may be that some copies of that precious editorial departed the port of Kobe on 28 April 1908, aboard the ship "Kasato Maru", and were transported to the coffee-west of Sao Paulo, whhiihere the immigrants hdfihifihad to fix their first roots. 4 Santos Immigrations 5 Train São Paulo to Santos - 1920 6 The immigrants guesthouse in Kobe 7 Dormitory of the immigrants guesthouse in Sao Paulo 8 Local wh ere th e processi ng was d one on th e coff ee 9 Working in sugar cane planting in the times of migration mediated by the government 10 Japanese Immigrants Numbers 11 Technical Cooperation of Japan to Brazil 12 13 SÃO VICENTE ENTRANCE ISLAND & EXIT RIGHT BANK LEFT BANK SANTO AMARO ISLAND 14 AERIAL VIEW 15 THE DRAFT OF THE CANAL OF PORT OF SANTOS 14 m 16 Beggginning of the 20th century..

    HOW MuseuDO WE WANT do TO Amanhã PROCEED? Museu do Amanhã A MUSEUM FOR RIO AND ITS NEW AGE Everyone who lands at a port – any port – has the awareness, if not the vision, that a future is about to unfold. They sense that this future is not something distant in time and abstract: it begins now, always at the moment in which one’s feet, previously on the deck of a ship, in the uncertainty (and infinite possibilities) of the sea, touch the well-trodden stones of the quay, as in a famous samba song. For many of the men and women who have arrived at the Port of Rio de Janeiro over time, the future and its possibilities often seemed uncertain. However, despite the inevitably One of the greatest legacies of the revitalization unpromising setting, it was these men and of Rio’s port region is certainly the opportunity women who to a large extent built the city of to reexamine this history. Today, thanks to the Rio and left a legacy of art, religion, science, thorough archeological and historical work culture – everything, in short, that human inge- undertaken at the quay and in the surrounding nuity is capable of creating. area, we have a deeper and better understanding of the trajectory of a large share of Rio’s popula- tion.
