Test for solid bulk container is performed at the Port of Imbituba

An experimental operation for shipment of solid bulk through a “hatched” container was carried out at the Port of Imbituba. The test took place at pier 2, with the aid of the port crane.
The focus of the simulation is the shipment of agricultural bulk. Depending on the load, the operation takes about 40 seconds to empty two 20-foot “hatched” containers, which corresponds to a minimum of 40 tons per container movement. The action consists of opening “hatches” at the bottom of the container to dump the cargo into the hold of the ship.
The event was accompanied by representatives of the Port Authority, SCPar Porto de Imbituba, and Santos Brasil, the lessee of TECON. The container belongs to the Sanry Cerealista company, located at Redex Warehouse on the banks of BR-101, in Imbituba. The company seeks to improve solid bulk operations, enabling greater efficiency for the Port.
