The Port of Recife had intense activity in the first week of November. About 74,742 tons of products were handled at the port late on Thursday (5), not counting the vessels for the weekend. Of the four operations carried out this week, three were shipments of sugar. At Penélope L and Mel Pride, more than 70 trucks at the Port of Recife handled 48,655 tons of the product. At Lady Margaret, the 20,087 tons of cargo were handled in a fully-automatic operation. The sugar exported from Recife is from industrial units located in the rain forest of Pernambuco (Zona da Mata), whose largest importer is the United States. At pier 4, Emu Arrow unloaded 6,000 tons of barley malt. The product has also been highlighted in our cargo handlings, meeting the demand of the Pernambuco’s brewing industries. Rays landed with 9,120 tons of grain, and Toki Arrow docked in Recife with more than 10,000 tons of fertilizers and soda.
