Posted on March 4, 2024
The company reportedly operates two container terminals in Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul, over 80 tugboats in 30 Brazilian ports and terminals, two shipyards in Guarujá (São Paulo), over 20 offshore support vessels, two offshore support bases in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro), a bonded logistics centre in Santo André (São Paulo), and one of Brazil’s largest independent shipping agencies.
Over three days, visitors to the Wilson Sons stand at Intermodal event will take a virtual tour of its business units.
The 3D tour presents the company’s modern container terminals, equipped with electric cranes, the WS Centaurus tug, the first tug built with more sustainable technology.

“Attending Latin America’s biggest event, Intermodal, is a unique opportunity to get even closer to our stakeholders and offer solutions to make offshore and port operations even more efficient and sustainable. We pursue long-term sustainable development targeted at creating value for our stakeholders.”
