Portocel sets record by loading over 39,000 tons of pulp in 24 hours

Portocel, in Aracruz (ES), has set a world record for shipping pulp. There were 39,048 tons shipped within 24 hours of operation, an unprecedented level in the handling of pulp. The record was set on February 23 when loading the vessel ‘Osakana’ held by Saga Welco, the shipping company that specializes in handling this type of cargo.

The previous record for a conventional or specialized ship was also from Portocel. In a specialized vessel, the last record set was in 2006, with the shipment of 35,000 tons on Star Optimana. For conventional ships, the last record set was in 2015 with the shipment of 37,168 tons within 24 hours of operation at Halophyla.

“This record set owes much to the potential of our teams and partners and the continuous search for modernization. The ships we received have not changed much in recent years, but we have continuously improved our teams and modernized the port infrastructure. We have dedicated partners with whom we build genuine alliances, including unions that represent the independent workforce”, highlights Alexandre Billot Mori, Portocel’s Executive Manager of Port Operations.

According to the executive, to improve the technical capacity of the operational teams, Portocel has resources such as a forklift and tractor operation simulator, equipment used to move cargo in warehouses. The warehouses themselves have also undergone improvements that favor storage and inventory management, contributing to performance gains.
