   Non-vessel-operating common carrier Falcon Maritime and Aviation has opened a branch office in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
   “Brazil is a dynamic market with growth potential not only in U.S. trade, but in trade with key markets across Europe and Asia,” said Richard J. Shelala, the the Jamaica, N.Y.-based NVO’s director in a statement. “By opening our eighth overseas office in Sao Paulo, we will be extending the high level of customer service that the Falcon brand is known for to this very promising market.”
