CARIS partner Cesar Pimenta of Intelligent Maritime Solutions (IMS) coordinated a successful CARIS mission to Rio de Janerio, Brazil this December. Cesar was accompanied by CARIS' Juan Carballini and Andy Hoggarth for a week of client visits and business development. The social highlight of the week was a dinner for our Brazilian clients at the Residence of the Consul General of Canada, organized through the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

With the assistance of IMS and the support of the Brazilian Navy, CARIS has established approximately ten new Brazilian clients in 2011; this trend looks set to continue in 2012. Obrigado Brasil!
