Abstract

In this report, the findings of a feasibility study for iron ore transport from the Mutún and Urucum deposits in Bolivia and Brazil, via the Paraguay-Paraná waterway, are discussed. The most economical logistic solution is looked for and then compared to the market prices to determine feasibility. In this solution the characteristics of the mines, the waterway and the possible ports are taken into account. Recommendations for further research to determine more economical options are made at the end and can lead to an extension of this study.
