Companhia Docas da Paraíba will begin to export sea salt. The product comes from Rio Grande do Norte and it is set to be exported from the Port of Cabedelo to Europe in December. Sea salt is a new cargo of Docas, which returned to operate in 2020. The storage of the sea salt cargo will take place in Warehouse 7. The packing type for sea salt exports will be the big bag one. Moreover, Companhia Docas has restarted handling clinker, as well as intensified the petcoke operation. The clinker cargo landed in November at the Port of Cabedelo through the bulk carrier Orient Trail, with 28,650 tons of products. The vessel with the cargo came from the United States to the Port of Cabedelo. Clinker is a kind of cement in a primary manufacturing stage. For the Port of Cabedelo, petcoke is a more familiar cargo as it has been being handled for more than ten years in berths 103/105 and 107. In 2020 alone, until November, more than 295 thousand tons of petcoke were handled at the Port of Cabedelo.
