One of the things that makes Vale a competitive mining company is operating good railroads. In Brazil, where our biggest mining systems are, we operate approximately 10,000 kilometres of railroad network, and have agreements in place to use lines in African countries and in Argentina.
Through VLI - Valor Logística Integrada – we also provide logistics services to third parties. In addition, we operate long-distance passenger trains on two important stretches in the country.
To enhance such competitiveness and sustain expansion of our operations, we are developing projects to increase railroad capacity.
