LOADING OF PIG IRON IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
LAST WEEK WE PERFORMED ON HIRE BUNKER + CONDITION SURVEY IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL.
ALL HOLDS WERE INTERNALLY INSPECTED BEFORE COMMENEMENT OF THE LOADING OPERATION, AS WELL AS THE DECK, CRANES AND HULL.
PIG IRON IS LIABLE TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOLDS’ STRUCTURES [SPECIALLY IF LOADING IS HELD BY MEANS OF SHIP LOADER].
CURIOSITY:
-IN RIO DE JANEIRO, THE LOADING OF PIG IRON STARTS AT THE PORT AND IT IS COMPLETED AT THE INNER ANCHORAGE, DUE TO DRAFT RESTRICTION.
-THE VESSEL STARTS LOADING AT PORT, THEN THE LOADING IS STOPPED, THE VESSEL UNBERTHS AND ANCHOR AT THE INNER ANCHORAGE, LOCATED IN GUANABARA BAY.
-THE LOADING IS RESUMED EMPLOYING BARGES, THAT BRINGS THE BALANCE CARGO TO BE LOADED TO ALONGSIDE THE VESSEL.
-THIS IS CAUSED DUE TO DRAFT RESTRICTION OF RIO DE JANEIRO PORT.
AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE ABOVE PHOTO, THERE IS A NICE FERRIS WHEEL LOCATED ABREAST RIO DE JANEIRO PORT. IF YOU ARE IN RIO, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND RIDING THIS FERRIS WHEEL, AS IT PROVIDES A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE PORT, BAY AND RIO/NITEROI BRIDGE.
RIO DE JANEIRO IS A HUB OF BUNKER SUPPLY.
MANY VESSELS STOP IN RIO TO RECEIVE BUNKERS AND CONTINUE THE VOYAGE. WE ATTEND FOR BQS IN RIO VERY OFTEN, COUNT ON US FOR BQS.
