The Port of São Francisco do Sul is continuously reducing the loading time of bulk carriers. For the third time this year, a new record has been broken: this time, 68,000 tonnes of corn were loaded in 23 hours and 49 minutes. The cargo, bound for China, was loaded this week, using each ship loader, the equipment used to load corn and soybeans, at an average of 1,427 tonnes per hour. The previous record, set in April, was 67,000 tonnes loaded in 26 hours. The new productivity record in the Export Corridor was achieved thanks to the efficiency of the shiploaders. The machinery has received investments and constant maintenance, greatly enhancing its performance.
