en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the project to renew the fleet of the Belo Horizonte metro system in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the Project Logistics division of the German logistics company Rhenus is executing the transportation of 24 new trains (a total of 96 metro cars). This work is coordinated by Metrô BH and the State Secretariat for Infrastructure, Mobility and Partnerships, with Rhenus Project Logistics overseeing the entire transport project scope and maintaining close coordination with Cosco Shipping Project Logistics Co. This marks the first cooperation between Rhenus and Cosco Shipping Specialized Carriers, with the first shipment arriving at the Port of Sepetiba, Brazil, from the Port of Qingdao, China, in just 36 days.

A single metro car measures 24 meters in length, 3.2 meters in width, and 4.4 meters in height, weighing 54 tons. The sea freight departed from the Port of Qingdao, China, bound for the Port of Sepetiba in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rhenus partnered with ALS Customs Services to complete customs transit procedures and final clearance, reducing processing time. After the cargo arrived at the Port of Sepetiba, Rhenus managed the entire process, including land transportation, bonded warehouse storage, and the final delivery of the oversized cargo to the Belo Horizonte Metro Maintenance Center in Minas Gerais. Each delivery involved unloading the cars and precisely placing them on the tracks with millimeter-level accuracy.

Prior to commencing transportation, Rhenus conducted detailed route studies and engineering analyses for the movement of the oversized metro cars within Brazil's infrastructure. The team carried out a 4,000-kilometer land study, evaluating multiple route options and analyzing traffic conditions, storage area capacity, and the structural requirements of the unloading zones to ensure risk-free operations. Luis Rodríguez, Head of Rhenus Project Logistics, stated that they are proud to provide solutions for large-scale infrastructure projects like the fleet renewal of the Belo Horizonte metro system, a key driver for urban mobility in Brazil. He emphasized that Rhenus Projects leverages global synergies and experience to manage complex, high-value industrial cargo, and is committed to supporting the significantly growing infrastructure investments in Latin America through its global network and strong presence in the region.
