Vale has extensive logistics infrastructure to ensure that it can transport its products quickly and efficiently. Our distinctive advantage lies in our integrated systems that link mines to railroads, railroads to ports, and ports to shipping. We have port, maritime and railroad assets in Brazil, Indonesia, Mozambique and Oman.
Besides supporting our mining activities, our logistics infrastructure also provides freight transportation services for third parties.
In Brazil, Vale has unrivaled assets and innovative technologies to connect its main mineral-producing regions with ports. Our infrastructure also provides transportation services for other clients, thereby helping to boost Brazilian exports in general.
Along two railroads – the Vitória-Minas and Carajás railroads – we operate passenger train services, helping thousands of Brazilians to travel long distances safely and comfortably.
To maintain the quality of our logistics services and raise the productivity of our railroads and ports, we invest steadily in the sector. We also strive for the safety of the communities that live in our areas of influence.
