Roberto Rodrigues has been appointed as the first Brazilian to lead up Maersk’s global integrated container logistics service along the East Coast of South America.\u00a0 With 24 years of experience, Rodrigues returned to S\u00e3o Paulo to manage Maersk’s operations in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, providing customers with end-to-end land and sea logistics services. Before returning to Brazil, Rodrigues was in Panama, where he led Maersk’s operations in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
For 2020, Rodrigues is focused on building Maersk’s intermodal services business on the East Coast of South America – one of the most important refrigerated cargo routes in the world, connecting commodity producers to more than 130 markets.\u00a0\u00a0“Customers want, above all, simple and integrated container logistics services.\u00a0 They want predictability and ease of moving goods to and from Brazil,”\u00a0 says the general director. \u201cIn the digital age, booking online at a fixed price is extremely important. Customers want price guarantees and reliability. We are doing all this and more,\u201d says Rodrigues.<\/p>\n
Before going to Panama in 2016, Rodrigues was former general director of Mercosul Line, a coastal shipping service that was sold to CMA CGM in 2017, to pave the way for Maersk’s acquisition of Hamburg S\u00fcd. At Mercosul Line, Rodrigues looked after over investments worth over R$200 million in vessels and equipment.
