Multiterminais

What Multiterminais does

Multiterminais is a privately held Brazilian integrated logistics group headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, operating the MultiRio Container Terminal and the MultiCar Vehicle Terminal at the Port of Rio de Janeiro under long-term concessions (MultiRio extended to 2048 in exchange for a R$200 million expansion commitment). The group complements its maritime terminals with a network of dry ports and bonded industrial logistics centers (C.L.I.A.) in Rio de Janeiro, Resende, and Juiz de Fora, a general warehouse in Rio, a Logistics Operations Center in Resende, and the PortoVale Intermodal Terminal in Itatiaia — collectively marketed as the "Logística 360 Graus" integrated platform spanning port receipt, customs bonded storage, industrial assembly, and inland distribution.

Core operations run on industry-standard enterprise systems: Navis SPARCS Terminal Operating System for vessel scheduling, yard management, and cargo tracking at MultiRio; SAP for finance, accounting, and HR across both terminals; and EDI plus radio interfaces connecting MultiCar to automotive OEMs for real-time vehicle tracking. Productivity is 70 container moves per hour at MultiRio, with annual capacity of 1,000,000 TEUs, and 326,000 vehicles per year at MultiCar.

The revenue model is transaction-based across multiple streams: container handling, storage, vehicle PDI and tropicalization, dry-port bonded warehousing with duty suspension up to 120 days (1 year for foreign goods), and integrated SCM/door-to-door services. GTM is enterprise field sales targeting shipping lines (MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Hamburg Süd, ZIM), automotive manufacturers (notably Mercedes-Benz via the ALB joint venture with Schenker International), and industrial shippers (Gerdau). Pricing is publicly disclosed via a per-move tariff table for MultiRio. The group employs 1,001–5,000 staff and is self-funded (no disclosed external funding rounds), holding ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications across both core terminals.

Direct peers

• Wilson Sons: Brazilian port and maritime logistics operator with container terminals (Tecon Salvador, Tecon Rio Grande), tugboat operations, and offshore vessel support. Directly comparable as a Brazilian port concession operator with container handling, similar customer base of global shipping lines, and integrated port logistics.
• Santos Brasil: Brazil's largest independent container terminal operator, operating Tecon Santos (Brazil's busiest container port) and Tecon Imbituba. Direct competitor in Brazilian container terminal operations serving global shipping lines, with similar asset-based terminal business model and ISO-certified operations.

Broad incumbents

• APM Terminals: Maersk's terminal operating arm with Brazilian container terminal operations (including Itajaí and Pecém). Competes directly for container shipping volumes, offers Navis-equivalent TOS systems, and has the deepest capital backing among global terminal operators — making it both a competitor and a customer.
• PSA International: Singapore-based global container terminal operator and one of the largest in the world. Operates concession-based container terminals globally with comparable port concession model, technology-driven terminal operations (similar to Multiterminais's Navis SPARCS deployment), and similar blue-chip shipping customer roster.
• COSCO Shipping Ports: Hong Kong-listed global terminal operator and subsidiary of COSCO Shipping. Operates container terminals worldwide and is both a competitor for terminal volumes and a customer through its affiliated ocean carrier, paralleling how APM Terminals operates within Maersk's ecosystem.
• DP World: Global container terminal operator with Brazilian operations including DP World Santos. Competes for the same global shipping-line customers (MSC, Maersk) and offers container terminal, dry port, and integrated logistics — broader geographic scale but similar asset-based terminal model.
• HHLA (Hamburger Hafen und Logistik): European container terminal operator and logistics provider operating Hamburg terminals plus intermodal rail connections. Operates under similar long-term concession model with comparable container/intermodal terminal portfolio and rail-connected logistics strategy similar to PortoVale.
• International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI): Philippines-headquartered global container terminal operator with Latin American presence. Operates container terminals under similar concession structures with comparable throughput-based revenue models, competing for the same global shipping line customers.

Regional players

• Tegma Gestão Logística: Brazilian logistics operator specializing in automotive logistics, road transport, and integrated supply chain management. Directly comparable automotive logistics capability to MultiCar's automotive terminal business and the ALB Schenker JV's parts logistics for Mercedes-Benz.
• Hidrovias do Brasil: Brazilian waterway and integrated logistics operator providing barge transportation, port terminals, and integrated logistics. Comparable as a Brazilian concession-based logistics operator with multimodal transport capabilities, though focused on inland waterway rather than maritime container handling.
