The Docks Company of the State of São Paulo (Codesp) has released, on an exceptional basis, mooring berths for ships transporting fertilizers at the Port of Santos. The request came from the Union of Maritime Navigation Agencies of the State of São Paulo (Sindamar), after the sum of losses that exceeded the mark of R $ 140 million due to delays in the operations of these freighters at the Santos quay. According to the entity, there are vessels that arrived at the Santos quay in August and since then have been waiting for an opportunity to unload the goods. Other freighters even plan mooring at the complex and climb into other ports in search of greater agility. Sindamar and Codesp met last week to discuss the problem. The entity has requested the release of new mooring berths for fertilizer operations. In response to the request, the Port Authority requested a deadline to analyze the viability of the demand. Last Thursday, Docas issued Resolution No. 211, which allows the use of the public cribs of the Cais de Outeirinhos and warehouses 29 to 33 and 37, as well as the berths of warehouses 12A to 15. In all cases, it is necessary meet the mooring priority standards. Codesp also highlighted the need to comply with environmental requirements, such as the use of equipment that prevents the suspension of particles in the discharge of trucks. The objective is that operations that are carried out in close quarters, such as the pulp handling and storage, are not impaired.
