Last week, Datamar’s director Andrew Lorimer was the source of two articles published by the newspaper Valor Econômico.

On October 17, Andrew projected growth in container handling in Brazil between 2018 and 2023 in the special magazine about ports published by the newspaper.

In the interview, he stated: “Container movement is driven by economic growth and is usually two to three times higher than each country’s GDP performance. For example, if the economy advances 1%, containers grow by 2% to 3%,” Andrew explained in the interview.

The magazine’s main theme was “Innovation and efficiency that transform port operations” and covered topics such as concessions and privatization, innovation and investments, among other topics related to the sector.

On Friday, 10/18, Andrew was one of the interviewees of the report “Santos discusses possible ‘bus’ for containers” published in the Valor Econômico newspaper.

The report heard from the main players in the sector about the occupation of the Port of Santos. Andrew said there were no warning signs. “Before the crisis, the terminals invested a lot and had idle capacity. You have to be vigilant for the long term, but I don’t think there will be a bottleneck in the next five years,” he told the publication.

Datamar and Andrew Lorimer had already been the source of the special booklet “Valor Sectorial Infrastructure and Logistics” published on October 10 in Valor.
