The Bolivian Minister of Public Works, Milton Claros, welcomed the accession of Brazil. "We are on track," Bright said, at the first technical meeting held today in the Bolivian Foreign Ministry with the participation of representatives from Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia, and the Inter-American Desenvolimento (BID ) and the Andean Development Corporation (ADC).

The German deputy minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, Rainer Bomba, confirmed that about 30 German and Swiss companies are interested in financing and building the Railway Corridor Central Bioceanic, the official name of a railway line that would have 3750 km long when completed . "This is a tremendous project. Now we define the investment objectives for its construction," said Bomba.

Panama Canal

Rainer Bomba and Milton Claros signed a memorandum of understanding to consolidate the Bi-Oceanic Corridor, an act which attended the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales. "We are convinced that the bi-oceanic train between Brazil, Bolivia and Peru will be the 21st Century Panama Canal," Morales said.

The railroad that will link the Atlantic to the Pacific would begin on the coast of Brazil, would cross the Amazon jungle and the Andes and end in the Peruvian coast, after spending peel Bolivia.
The Bolivian government strong focus in this work because they want to avoid the use of the Northern ports of Chile, a country with which it maintains a historical dispute by a sovereign outlet to the sea.

The route would include the Santos-Campo Grande stretches (in Brazil), Puerto Suárez (Bolivia) and Ilo (Peru) and its cost is estimated at about $ 14 billion, according to the technical study made by Bolivia.

new corridors

The bi-oceanic railway project of President Morales was presented a year ago Rainer Bomba on this first visit to La Paz, accompanied by German businessmen.

Morales is committed to open new export corridors for Bolivian products, currently out of the country through the northern ports of Chile. About 80% of Bolivian exports go out by the Chilean port of Arica.

The bi-oceanic train could also benefit other countries because the Bolivian city of Puerto Quijarro serve as liaison point between a future Paraguay-Paraná and the railroad to export from Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina by the Pacific Ocean.

The meeting in La Paz did not count on the participation of Peru's vice president and Transport Minister, Martín Vizcarra, who is attending the emergency in his country because of flooding, represented by his chief of staff, Carlos Estremadoyro.

• Visit of Chinese delegation to Brazil can bring investments to the country

China wants to grow the business in Latin America, and facilitate access to Brazilian production, especially soybeans, without relying on the Panama Canal, which has strong influence of the United States. But to become reality, the project has to face challenges in engineering, environmental and political.
Experts say that investments in the railroad can be close to R $ 30 billion. The main beneficiaries would be the farmers of the West of Mato Grosso, which have a shorter route to transport the crops, especially soybeans, reducing transport by road. In 2014, China imported Mato Grosso products worth $ 4.9 billion, of which $ 4.6 billion was allocated to imports of soybeans, as the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC).

Company confirms the railroad pro-expansion studies in Mato Grosso

A A A 

The railway today in Mato Grosso is present only in the stretch between the towns of Alto Taquari and Rondonópolis

The Concessionaire Towards ALL, which holds the concession of the rail network in Mato Grosso, confirmed that has been studying the project to expand the tracks to Cuiabá and then to smile in the middle-north, because of the requests of the Government of Mato Grosso and various state entities, who show interest in the work because of its importance to the state. However, data on capacity, demand and investment have not yet been defined.
According to estimates, the expansion of Rondonópolis rails to Cuiabá and later to smile, as is being studied, should require $ 5 billion in investments in total. The rails of the railroad Senator Vicente Vuolo came to Mato Grosso in 2000 with the inauguration of the Alto Taquari terminal, and advanced to Rondonopolis in 2013. In total, the stretch between Rondonópolis and Sorriso will take about 600 km.
According to the president of the Pro Railroad Forum, Francisco Vuolo, the benefits that may arise from the rails to Cuiabá and later Smile, are immeasurable. "Just consider the positive impact that the arrival of the railroad brought to municipalities that have their terminals installed as Alto Araguaia and Rondonópolis. The economic movement has increased, many companies have settled, land valued and new jobs have emerged. "
Several companies operate in the railway terminal of Rondonópolis, considered the largest in Latin America, accounting for increased revenues to the government. Currently, according to the municipality, another industry the fertilizer industry is being implemented on site, who will join with other companies in logistics, fertilizers, soybean crushing, biodiesel production, fuel distribution, among others.
Francisco Vuolo believes that to Cuiabá, the benefits will be even greater, because the city is the consumer center of the state, which will allow a flow of products being transported from Sao Paulo to Mato Grosso, the call return cargo. "And this stream, will surely bring industrial value-added products," he says. "Today the cars will return full and empty."
Another point highlighted by Francisco is that with the arrival of the train in Cuiabá, you can still explore the transport of passengers between the capital and Rondonópolis, promoting social integration between the two cities, as indicated in the feasibility studies.
"This transport task of long distances, with higher risks to truck accidents, theft and less security, not for the road transport and, yes, rail or waterway. So we have the trucks making the short distances, traveling at the same intensity, and trains for longer distances, "he argues.

Fávaro meets with Chinese governors and businessmen to discuss transoceanic railroad

Fávaro se reúne com governadores e empresários chineses para discutir ferrovia transoceânica

Governador em exercício, Carlos Fávaro (PSD), vai representar o Estado na próxima quarta-feira (17), em reunião de chefes de Executivos estaduais, em Brasília. O encontro será integrado por comitiva de empresários da China, interessada em investir no modal de transporte ferroviário, com traçado que passa por Mato Grosso. Ele vai substituir Pedro Taques (PSDB), que viaja hoje (14) ao exterior para participar do Fórum Global para Inovações na Agricultura, que será realizado em Abu Dhabi, capital dos Emirados Árabes. Taques irá apresentar as potencialidades de Mato Grosso, com meta de atrair investidores.

O encontro em Brasília segue a mesma ótica, com tentativa de convencer empresários a apostar as fichas no cenário de desenvolvimento do Estado. “Essa reunião em Brasília já é fruto do trabalho iniciado pelo governador Pedro Taques no ano passado, com relação a Ferrovia Transoceânica (ligando o Brasil ao Peru), e pode ser dita a Fico (Ferrovia Integração Centro-Oeste), que é a mesma”, explicou se referindo a integração do sistema.

Fávaro frisa a importância da consolidação do modal ferroviário em Mato Grosso como alternativa para redução de custos no escoamento da produção agrícola. “Custa tanto a logística para o Centro-Oeste brasileiro que não tenho dúvida da viabilidade econômica. Pagamos o frete mais caro do mundo. Se nós simplesmente trocarmos de modal, do rodoviário para o ferroviário, é possível ganhar entre U$ 50 e U$ 60 (dólares) por tonelada. Isso é um ganho significativo. E temos outras perspectivas de ferrovias”.

Em termos gerais, o preço do frete do transporte ferroviário é 25% a 30% mais econômico que o rodoviário. Em relação a Ferrovia Transoceânica, ainda estariam em andamento estudos sobre sua viabilidade econômica para o Estado. Números preliminares teriam atraído investidores, como assegura o governador em exercício.

“A Fico é tratada dentro do contexto regional. E a Transoceânica, do Atlântico ao Pacífico, mas que já teve um primeiro desdobramento, quando apresentamos as potencialidades para aquela comitiva que veio a Mato Grosso. E agora a convite do embaixador da China no Brasil, Li Jinzhang, ele está trazendo os empresários que tem interesse em fazer investimentos nessa ferrovia, quer seja segmentada, porque não precisa trabalhar toda. Pode se pegar em pontos mais importantes e ligar a terminais portuários fluviais, como em Porto Velho, ligando a Ferrovia Norte e Sul que é a Fico, ligando de Leste a Oeste. Então ela já pode começar a ser construída, tendo lógico depois o objetivo de ligar Atlântico a Pacífico”, afirmou.

Em 2015, grupo de engenheiros da China percorreu trechos no Estado onde devem passar os trilhos. Em Mato Grosso, existem projetos para implantação de novos trechos ferroviários, como a Ferronorte, ligando Rondonópolis a Cuiabá, além da Cuiabá-Santarém contando com parceria de chineses. Segundo o governo federal, no Brasil, a megaferrovia (Transoceânica) também terá pontos de ligação nos estados de Tocantins e Acre, atravessando os Andes até chegar ao porto do Peru.

Fávaro lembra que cabe ao governo federal a política de execução do modal, sendo Mato Grosso um dos estados apoiadores da implantação do sistema ferroviário. “O governo do Estado estará sempre apoiando, porque esse é um papel da União, do governo federal. E o governo estadual apoiará sempre esse marco de desenvolvimento, a mudança de modal”.

O estudo da ferrovia está em andamento por meio de parceria com o governo da China. Ela partiria do Peru, passando pelo Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Minas Gerais e Rio de Janeiro,  em mais de 4 mil quilômetros. São estimados pelo menos R$ 30 bilhões em investimentos para agilizar o escoamento da produção agrícola, principalmente a mato-grossense.
