Largest ever fertilizer shipment arrives at Port of Santos, says Wilson Sons

The largest ever fertilizer carrier to dock at the Port of Santos set sail on September 13, informed Wilson Sons, which provided maritime agency services for the vessel.

The 229-meter-long MV Red Marlin left Huanghua, China, on July 12 with 82,500 tonnes of ammonium sulfate and arrived on the Sao Paulo coast on August 27.

After landing at the port, the cargo will head by rail to Brazil’s Center-West region, the country’s largest soybean and corn-producing zone, which highly depends on these imported inputs.

The vessel’s charterer is Allied Harvest, represented by AgriLaf in Brazil.

After uncertainties in the international scenario and logistical issues related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Wilson Sons said that it had registered an increase in the volume of fertilizer handling at ports.
