Eldorado Brasil increases rail transport of celulose and reduces truck usage by 25,000 per year
Jan, 29, 2020 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 202006
Eldorado Brasil launched a new pulp transport route from its factory to the port of Santos in partnership with CMA-CGM. With the use of containers, the cargo that was previously taken by truck to the port docks is now transported by train from Jundiaí, in the interior of São Paulo. This measure will eliminate around 25,000 truck trips each year from highways and streets.
With the new railway operation, the pulp that leaves the Eldorado Brasil plant in Três Lagoas (MS) is taken by truck to the city of Jundiaí. There it is transferred to containers on railway cars. The cargo then proceeds along the tracks to the terminals at the edge of the pier, from where it is shipped.
As well as alleviating traffic, another advantage is to avoid empty and full containers being transported through the coastal city of Santos, since the distances between the storage terminal and the terminal at the pier require the use of trucks on the streets. With the train, the containers are taken directly to the terminal where the ship docks. However, the amount of pulp exported by Eldorado Brasil is too great to be transported only by rail, therefore truck deliveries also continue at the Eldorado/Rishis terminal, in the Outeirinhos region, in Santos.
