LLX Logistica SA, a Brazilian port developer currently involved in the creation of the Acu port complex in Brazil, is studying the possibility of setting up a rail link to the Acu port with Vale subsidiary Ferrovia Centro Atlantica (FCA) railroad.
The rail link would transport bulk products such as steel, iron ore and coal between the Acu port and Brazil's national rail network.
In a separate report on Wednesday, Vale said that it has established a new logistics company--Vale Logistics Integrada SA--to increase general cargo operations.
