Abstract

The Brazilian Navy (MB) has military organizations distributed throughout the national territory, both in the coastal zone and in the most inland areas of the country. Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, it is necessary to provide logistical support to the most distant units through the provision of dry and refrigerated items in addition to those purchased in the local market. In order to evaluate the use of cabotage navigation as an alternative to exclusively road transport for large consolidated cargo, the article aims to use the SAPEVO-M method to choose the location to be used in the pilot test. The methodology used is exploratory in character through a case study. Four locations (Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará and Santa Catarina) were compared using logistical criteria. For the interview, three Officers from the Brazilian Navy (MB) were selected, all of them with experience in logistics and cargo transportation. The work contributes to society in terms of reducing public spending, mitigating the impact on the environment. In addition, it contributes to the academy by presenting the use of a relevant multicriteria decision support method in a case study. Keywords: SAPEVO-M. Sapevoweb. Multicriteria Decision Aid. Logistics; Transport.
