CESS- Center for Sustainable System Studies
The Center for Sustainable System Studies- CESS has as
objective to develop studies on systems to improve the
sustainability of the urban, industrial and logistics systems.
Our objective is to identify opportunities in several areas and
segments with a focus on ensuring that available resources
today, also can be used by the future generations.
To accomplish the progress towards the sustainability it is
necessary maintenance and improvement of both systems
that meet human beings as the well-being of the ecosystems
involved in this task. Our challenge is to help in the diffusion
of the sustainability concepts in the Brazilian society.

CESS- Center for Sustainable System Studies
The CESS have been studying about the Brazilian social problems that have not been
solved yet. The CESS is acting in the field of research and insights, gathering
information and results, build methods of research, case studies, study the tools and
strategies to deal with humanitarian logistics problems, collaborative and urban
logistics, management and control of ballast water and pollutions associated to
maritime transport, recycling of ships, as well as port logistics and environmental
impacts originating from it’s operations. Also, the CESS take new topics as seaports
and green logistics.
Therefore, the CESS is interested in studying unsolved problems in Brazilian society, as
well as being CESS goes along with the new thoughts and the management and
control methods into the logistics service which have been developed around the
world.
Thus, the CESS can serve as a point of support for decision makers , entrepreneurs,
managers and politicians, besides other interested parts of the civil society in the
discussion of the themes that permeate sustainability.

The CESS is a study group that was created in the Departament of Manufacturing
Engineering located in Escola de Engenharia Industrial Metalúrgica campus in
Volta Redonda that belongs to Universidade Federal Fluminense. The CESS is
being coordinated by Prof. Dr. Newton Narciso Pereira and there are Several
Students working as researchers to CESS.

The Ballast water is used to provide stability to ships and ensure it maneuverability . However , it is responsible to transfer
exotic species carried in it contributing to the impact on marine biota and the transfer of pathogens and others. Thus, the
CESS is studying the impacts of the operations of ships in Brazilian ports due to ballast water. In addition, we are checking
the mechanisms of management and control adopted in Brazil and other countries. Also, we are currently analyzing data
from ships operating in Brazilian ports and working in partnership with other institutions such as the CILIP / USP , UFMA and
UNIFAP .

The Colaborative Logistics is defined as the colaboration between partners from the supply chain, such as suppliers,
manufacturing, customers or other members . As this matter is still little studied in Brazil, the CESS has an interest in
identifying it’s impact on the Brazilian market. In this case we are studying the UBER’s problem in Brazil in terms of it’s
acceptance by users, drivers, the cost associated with this operation, as well as the conflicts generated from these new
concept of sharing transport services.

The CESS has conducted studies in terms of maritime transport logistics , port and green logistics. Within shipping we are
analyzing the behavior of vessels in Brazilian ports and flow of cargo through the ports . Another group is dedicating the
new technologies applied to green logistics, such as greenways a new concept in Brazil , as well as the criteria for
sustainable or green ports.

The Humanitarian Logistics is responsible for the mobilization of people, financial and technical resources to help victimized
communities by natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, avalanches , volcanic eruptions , floods, landslides and
tsunamis, and damage caused by the man who has impacts on human life and the environment, such as radiation leaks ,
explosions, oil spills and other impacts. We are studying the impact of recent events that took place on the cities of
Teresopolis, Petropolis and Angra dos Reis in the quest to create innovative solutions that help to identify and measure the
impacts .
