Port of Ilhéus resumes its handling of soy shipments
May, 24, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202022
Since May 4, soybean operations were restarted at the Port of Ilhéus with a shipment of 30,000 tons of the commodity. They had been suspended since August 2018. The port is forecast to handle up to five shipments during the year, equivalent to 150,000 tonnes of the product. In order to reactivate this service, Cargill and Intermarítima invested in recovering the equipment that was out of use.
Handling soy, and the five more vessels this represents per annum, means a 100% increase in cargo handling for the port year-on-year. For 2020, it is projected that this will translate to a 32% increase in revenues for the port compared with last year’s turnover.
