Cabotage appears as an option among the transportation modes combining reliability and energy efficiency in order to maximize profits and reduce pollution. In this context, the study aims to examine the effectiveness of five terminals for three years. They operate with containerized cargo transport in cabotage in order to identify which terminal is more efficient. Keywords: Cabotage, Logistics, Transportation, Data Envelopment Analysis. RESUMO A crescente taxa de produção brasileira exige, a cada dia, um melhor escoamento de produtos e matérias primas. A Cabotagem surge como opção entre os modais de transportes aliando confiabilidade e eficiência energética de forma a maximizar os lucros e diminuir a poluição. Nesse contexto, o trabalho pretende analisar a eficiência de cinco terminais, durante três anos, que operam com transporte de carga conteinerizada na cabotagem, a fim de identificar qual terminal é mais eficiente. 1. INTRODUCTION According OLIVEIRA (2011), Cabotage is the term fromFrench origin from term caboter which means navigation between entre ports and cables in the same country. About the term Navigation FIACO (2014), apud ROOS (1989), “constantly determine two elements, namely: location and orientation”. The Act 9432/1997 BRASIL (1997) defines cabotage as performed between ports or points of the Brazilian territory using the sea or shipping routes and inland waterways. According RODRIGUES (2003), Brazil is a country characterized by a coastline of over seven thousand kilometers of coast in length and had a colonization process done by Portugal's coast to the interior, which led to
