By Marc Allen

Brazilian port and logistics operator Wilson and Sons broken the record for tranship container movements at Brazil Rio Grande Terminal with 7,833 transfers between the Hapag-Lloyd vessel CSAV Trancura and Skyros.

The mammoth operation repositioned empty containers between Brazil and ten other countries: Netherlands; England; Portugal; Germany; France; Russia; India; Israel; Turkey and Senegal.

Rio Grande Terminal is one of the most important container terminals in Latin America and has a capacity of 1.4m teu and serves around 3,000 importers and exporters.

The port can accommodate the largest ships in the world and has an official draft of 15m. The last transhipment record at Rio Grande was set in 2016 with 2,763 movements to Aliança’s ship Leblon.
