As reported by Canal Solar, members of the Synagencies (National Union of Employees of National Regulatory Agencies) will protest and carry out a 48-hour strike in their activities this Wednesday (31st) and Thursday (1st).
Thereby, employees of all regulatory agencies will interrupt the provision of services essential, such as control and inspection in ports.
Companies and entities involved directly, for example, with the Port of Santos – the second largest in Latin America – announced that they should be affected by the demonstration of the union.
They claim that the shutdown could result in an overload in the port segment, in addition to directly impacting the operational capacity of the terminals.
For the Union of Customs Brokers of Santos and Region, without the release of goods, there is no way to proceed with the unloading of cargo, which will cause an increase in the volume of containers accumulated in the terminals and in the demand for ships.
But what about the solar energy sector?
Although a significant portion of cargo is at risk of being trapped by port inspection, professionals consulted by the Canal Solar highlights that the The situation of photovoltaic equipment should not be a problem.
Vinicio Jesus, from the commercial department of Blu Logistics Brazil, explains that to Inspection in Brazilian ports works based on three parameters:
- Green: when the load is released directly through an automatic system.
- Yellow: when there is a need for documentary analysis by local authorities.
- Red: when there is a need to present a physical and documentary conference.
According to him, as the solar energy sector is a market that works with few products in the same shipment, generally its products usually receive green parameterization in imports. “On the green channel, everything is system-based. There is no interference from anyone physically”, he commented.
“When ships are arriving in Brazil, they need to pass the container information to the Federal Revenue within 48 hours to avoid rectification. In that regard, a strike like this (just two days) doesn't have much impact on solar”, highlighted the professional.
The problem, however, according to Jesus, occurs when – if for some reason – the client needs to make any changes to the maritime document. “In this case, we may have a slightly longer delay in releasing the cargo, as it may be necessary to take some action from local authorities to release it”, he highlighted.
