One of the obstacles that prevent granting Wooden waterway Part of the local expression of boat owners, especially the medium size, which uses the river for transportation, increases mainly to the cities of Amazon, CNN.
The claim is that the privilege can charge shipping to these places, and therefore the price of the product in the region.
The franchise study suggested an average rate of $ 0.80 per ton to cover investments, such as bulldozing, marks, and maintenance expenses. According to the federal government, fees will not be imposed on Riferside and fishermen.
Since they are medium -sized vessels, they do not require bulldozing work that revolves in rivers, unlike the Parage, used to carry large amounts of loads. During the drought, boats reduce the size of the load so that they do not wander on the trip.
