Jul, 23, 2020 Posted by Neeharika KhaitanWeek 202030
The Port of Pecém broke a 24-hour record for shipments of steel sheets, with 34,000 tonnes loaded on July 18. The cargo belonged to Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém (CSP), based in Ceará EPZ (Ceará Export Processing Zone) – a subsidiary of the Pecém Complex.
The peak of the operation took place between 12-6 pm on the 18th, when 467 steel plates were shipped. The operation was carried out by two operational service providers (PSOs) at Pecém: Tecer Terminais and Unilink Transportes Integrados.
The operation on the MV TONG DA vessel recorded an average productivity of 1,284.65 tonnes per hour. The vessel was bound for the Chinese port of Zhangjiagang Huada, where it is scheduled to arrive on August 25. The new productivity record for this operation is linked to the growth in the specific handling of this type of cargo at Pecém. In June, 218,837 tonnes of steel sheet were shipped, an increase of 25.6% compared to May 2020 when 174,223 tonnes were shipped.
