RESUMO

The Multimodal Cargo Transportation is the achievement of operational transportation by only one operator, known as Multimodal Transport Operator MTO. The MTO is responsible for the loading over the itinerary from the origin to final destination, in this case, using only one transportation document. Thus, the transport operation is characterized as a hierarchical chain with the starting point in MTO, reducing the search market that a dispatcher carries out to transport his cargo, what cause the reduction of costs derived from market negotiations, in other words, the transaction costs. In Brazil, the MTO market is constituted basically by operators of the following systems: airway, waterway, pipeway, railway, and highway transportation. The differences identified among this systems was regarding by the number of qualified operators. According to the Transaction Costs Theory, the number of qualified operators necessary to make a good or a service concerns to the way as the operators work in their markets; this situation may lead to opportunist negotiations which originate the transaction costs. The goal of this study is to identify the appropriated place for the MTO take opportunists behavior at the time of negotiations. In this case, the universe of MTO has been identified according to the operational way and performance area. As result it has achieved that the operators of railway and pipeway transportation system are in appropriated conditions to add opportunist costs in their transactions, because due they are inserted in a more restricted markets.
