Feb, 11, 2019 Posted by datamarnewsWeek 201907
Datamar talked to Mr. Fabio Siccherino, Commercial Director of DP World Santos. With headquarters in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, DP World is one of Santos’ three large container terminals.

| 2 | Deepsea | 182.393 | 329.871 | 388.553 | 521.589 | 541.708 | 541.248 |
Detailed information on terminals will be available in the Datamar ECSA Container Terminals Report, which will be released at Intermodal 2019.
DP World Santos has managed to remain strong in the recent years of crisis through the diversification of its services, focussing on the Break Bulk market, in particular in the paper and pulp sector. During 2018 the terminal moved 580,000 tons of pulp.
The company is expanding its berths by 400 meters, with a potential additional extension to serve the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) sector. At the same time it is investing in services of stripping and stuffing of containers, with a new warehouse for this activity.
Even with cabotage growing by two digits, DP World’s vision of the short and medium term for the container market is not changing much, at least in Santos. The perspective is that current volumes will remain.
