Norcoast Appoints Márcio Salmi as New Commercial Director

Norcoast, a Brazilian coastal shipping company, announces the appointment of Márcio Salmi as its new Commercial Director. With a solid track record at leading companies such as Maersk, Mercosul Line, and Costa Brasil, the executive joins Norcoast bringing a strategic vision focused on growth, efficiency, and customized solutions, aiming to strengthen further the company’s presence along Brazil’s main logistics corridors.

Throughout his career, Salmi has closely followed Brazil’s cabotage sector development. He now joins Norcoast to boost its commercial operations at a time of great opportunity in a market that is increasingly attractive to companies seeking alternatives to long-distance road transport.

“It is an honor to join a company that was born with a solid path ahead. Norcoast brings a fresh business perspective to the sector, and it will be an exciting challenge to help deliver solutions that reduce supply chain disruptions, enhance modal integration, and offer clients an optimized total cost,” said the new executive.

Regarding expansion opportunities, Salmi emphasized the importance of maintaining excellence on current routes before pursuing any new initiatives. “Consolidating existing services is essential. Increasing the number of port calls must be carefully evaluated to ensure transit times and service levels are not compromised. We will assess collaborative expansion alternatives on a case-by-case basis,” he added.

According to the new Commercial Director, Norcoast is poised for a promising future. “The cabotage market is transforming, driven by new regulatory demands, sustainability requirements, and the pursuit of efficiency. Norcoast is strategically positioned, with a solid foundation and growth potential. Our goal is to make the company an even more prominent player, supported by a high-performance commercial team and logistics solutions tailored to our clients’ needs,” Salmi concluded.
