The Resolution applies to companies operating exclusively in intermunicipal or municipal cargo transportation, as well as foreign companies whose vessels must be registered in the RFB&#8217;s systems. Approval is subject to the submission of the corporate, operational, and vessel ownership or use documents specified in the Resolution.
