Jun, 18, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202026
PTP Uruguay carried out the first operation involving liquid bulk cargo at the Port of Montevideo. The Norwegian flagship “Wenche Victory”, which is 184 meters long, 32 meters wide and with a 10.62-meter draft, moored at berth 3 of the National Port Administration (ANP) to unload approximately 1,600 tons of liquid fertilizer from Donaldsonville, USA.
For this, an innovative system of direct loading from ship to tank trucks was used. The discharge occurred continuously and quickly. The product was destined for storage in the city of Paysandú. The operation was a novelty for the Port of Montevideo but not for Uruguay, as PTP Uruguay has already carried out similar operations in the ports of Nueva Palmira and Fray Bentos.
