MRS Logística SA

President: Eduardo Parente Menezes
Director Operations: Carlos Waack
MRS operates over a 1,632 route-km (1,600 mm gauge) and 42 route-km (dual gauge 1,600
mm/1,000 mm) system in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It serves
the iron ore producing region in Minas Gerais and the Atlantic ports of Guaíba, Rio de
Janeiro, Santos and Sepetiba. The São Paulo to Santos electrified 1,600 mm gauge line
includes the Abt rack system operated (10.7 per cent gradient) Old Serra Incline.
MRS operates a 30-year concession awarded in 1996 to a consortium including CSN (33.27
per cent), MBR (20 per cent), Usiminas Participações e Logística (19.92 per cent) and Vale
(19.26 per cent).
In October 2011 MRS carried 14.5 million freight tonnes, its highest monthly total to date.
Freight carried in 2010 amounted to 144.06 million freight tonnes (56.3 billion freight tonnekm), which was 12 per cent more than in 2009. Iron ore was the principal commodity
amounting to 102.52 million freight tonnes, with agricultural products amounting to 17.03
million freight tonnes (mainly soya and sugar). Other commodities were iron and steel
products (5.69 million tonnes in 2010), coal and coke, cement, scrap, cellulose and minerals.
Investment in 2011 of around BRL1.5 billion embraced infrastructure and signalling projects
and orders for new wagons. Randon SA is supplying 168 wagons (138 to carry steel bales
and 30 general purpose) from its Caxias do Sul (Rio Grande do Sul) factory in 2012 at a cost
of BRL35 million. A further 50 general purpose wagons are being supplied by Amstead
Maxion at a cost of BRL13.3 million.
Brazil’s largest locomotive order was placed by MRS with GE Transportation in 2010.
Valued at BRL600 million, it covered 115 AC44(i) diesel locomotives. They are being
assembled (using 12-cylinder FDL diesel engines imported from GE’s Grove City,
Pennsylvania factory) at the GE plant at Contagem (Minas Gerais) from 2011-15. The order
included an option for a further 100 locomotives. The remaining MRS fleet comprises 642
operable diesel and nine electric locomotives. Around 50 locomotives are stored. The diverse
locomotive fleet is predominantly GE in composition including AC44(i) types (85 units),
C44-EMI (84) and C36-ME (68). GM designs in service include SD18 (10), SD38 (34) and
SD40 (49).
MRS awarded a further locomotive contract in 2010 to Stadler Rail to supply seven 5,000 kW
four-axle rack electric locomotives from its Bussnang factory at a cost of BRL112 million.
These locomotives, the most powerful of their type, will replace the nine Hitachi-built Type
HFF20 3kV DC 2,460 kW locomotives used on the Old Serra Incline. An option exists on
three additional locomotives. Delivery is scheduled for 2012-13. Also scheduled for delivery
in 2013 is Communications Based Train Control across the MRS system for which a BRL283
million contract was awarded to Wabtec in 2011. An Operational Control Centre covering the
MRS network opened at Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais) in 2012.
The MRS freight wagon fleet numbers around 19,000.
