The Port of Cabedelo experienced its largest cargo-handling month of the year in November. According to the port, 157,200 tons of products passed through the dock during the month. In addition to being the busiest month of the year, the result represents a growth of 90% in relation to the month of October, when the movement was 82,688 tons. Considering the year-to-date figures, cargo handling has already increased by 12,67 %. “In May, at the height of the pandemic, we kept our operations going 24 hours a day and grew 32% over the previous year,” details Companhia Docas’ CEO Gilmara Temóteo. The most-handled cargo in November was the petroleum coke (petcoke) which filled 3 ships and represented almost 50 tons. The month still had two fuel operations, one ilmenite, one wheat, one malt and one clinker. The latter was not operationalized by the port since 2013. The Port of Cabedelo will soon export sea salt for the first time. The material comes from Rio Grande do Norte and will be exported to Europe in December.
