Wilson Sons set a new record in Tecon Rio Grande (RS). On May 12, the company completed the largest transshipment operation at the container terminal in the port of Rio Grande do Sul with the ships CSAV Trancura and Skyros, both belonging to the company Hapag Lloyd. There were 7,833 transshipment movements.
The operation took place to reposition empty containers between Brazil and ten other countries (Netherlands, England, Portugal, Germany, France, Russia, India, Israel, Turkey, and Senegal). Skyros went to Singapore, in Asia, and CSAV Trancura was incorporated into the maritime service of the Brazil-Europe route. The last record in transshipment was registered at Tecon Rio Grande in June 2012, with the cargo ship Leblon of the company Aliança, when 2,763 containers were transferred.
The two ships also performed export and import handling, with a total of 4,271 movements on Skyros and 4,324 movements on CSAV Trancura. Both set a handling record at Tecon Rio Grande for a single operation. The two operations took place simultaneously, using up to four STS (Super Post-Panamax) cranes on each ship.
