Transported mix
(%)
Refers to the transport, mostly, of mining-related products (iron ore, coal and coke to serve domestic and foreign markets). Much of the iron ore is transported from the mines located in the iron quadrangle, close to Belo Horizonte (MG), and destined for export through the ports of Itaguaí, Guaíba and Sudeste (RJ). On average, about 20 iron ore trainsets are loaded, transported, and unloaded per day. This is MRS core business.
Involves the transportation of products not listed in the Mining group, such as steel products, agricultural commodities, cement, containers, pulp, and fertilizers. General Cargo transport operations are characterized by shorter distances, multiple customers and products that frequently share the same train, leading to a dynamic time schedule and a closer monitoring of scheduled stops along the way for loading or unloading.
