NEWS ▶▶▶ Super shipment of soybean bran leaves Brazil on its way to the Netherlands
The Pacific South vessel, sailing under a Mar- shall Islands flag, is carrying a super shipment of soybean by-products from Brazil to the Netherlands. The volume,103,000 tonnes, rep- resents a record for the export corridor of the port of Paranaguá, in Paraná state, Brazil. This is also the largest bulk carrier ever received at the complex: it’s 292 m long and 45 m wide. The ship docked on 1 June at berth 214, one of three that make up the export corridor, to be loaded from three terminals. “Both the volume and the size of the ship that we are operating show our operational capacity. Such an action requires qualified port workers, experienced piloting and infrastructure capacity, both on- shore and offshore,” says the CEO of Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia. The super vessel came from the port of Shanghai, in China, and arrived in the Bay of Paranaguá last June. Gen- erally, ships that carry bulk cargo have five or seven holds. The Pacific South bulk has nine holds, which it uses to receive and transport
the soybean bran. Around 84,000 tonnes comes from the Coamo cooperative; 15,000 from Cotriguaçu; and four thousand tonnes from public silos. According to Edenilson Car- los de Oliveira, director of logistics and opera- tions at Coamo, this is an historic moment. “Handling this load was a great effort evolving our three soy crushing industries and the co- operative’s logistics team to transport the bran to Porto,” he says. Loading might take about five days, if there are no outages due to rain or excessive humidity, according to the port ad- ministration, which cites the forecast of the
company responsible for the operation, Cargill. The bran left to go to the Port of Amsterdam, in Netherlands. The volume of 103,000 tonnes exceeds Paranaguá’s previous record by 13,000 tonnes, which was registered a year ago and this is likely to be one of the largest volumes worldwide. Last year, the 254-meter Chinese vessel Lan Hua Hai loaded 90,000 tonnes of soybean meal in the port. This time, the vessel is 38 meters larger. Normally, bulk carriers at the Port of Paranaguá measure between 199 and 229 meters and receive just over 60,000 tonnes of cargo (soy, corn or bran).
