As análises a seguir tratarão, assim, de apresentar os principais marcos regulatórios da atividade no contexto da formação socioespacial em que se inseriram, caracterizando algumas das empresas que ofereceram, ao longo do tempo, seguros de transportes marítimos no país, e buscando, ao mesmo tempo, observar em que medida esse segmento de serviços – ao se associar ao estabelecimento de normas que regulam as atividades produtivas, a evasão de divisas e as políticas de investimento do governo federal – pode ser interpretado como um agente regulador da porosidade territorial.

Thus, the following analysis propose to present the main regulatory frameworks of the activity in the Brazilian socio- spatial formation, characterizing some of the companies that offered, over time, insurance for maritime transport in Brazil, seeking, at the same time, to observe the extent to which this service sector – associated with the production of rules that regulate productive activities, the evasion of foreign exchange and the investment policies of the federal government – can be interpreted as a regulator agent for territorial porosity.

We herein formulate the hypothesis that such segments can be understood as belonging to an urban network of specialty financial services (quaternary or higher tertiary services of the economy) that orbit the productive spacial circuits and guarantee their uninterrupted operation on a local (national or regional) and global (international or interregional) scale, thereby associating to the regulation of the territory. The analysis comprises a brief historical, technical and normative, contextualization, as well as the identification of similar patterns found in other recent researches, which - associated to the patterns of location and spatial concentration of the management centres of the services herein studied - contribute to the discussion of the proposed subject.
