According to the superintendent of the Port Guard, José Tadeu Diniz, “The Group of Extraordinary Actions (GAEX) of the Port Guard monitored the entire operation in the ports of Rio de Janeiro and Itaguaí, providing the necessary support for the inspection of the trucks to be carried out without interrupt the flow of cargoes or disrupt port operations”. For José Tadeu Diniz, "the inspection in an integrated manner between the institutions has broader and more effective results to ensure the user an adequate provision of transport services".
