Fospar Terminal receives the largest fertilizer ship in the Port of Paranaguá

The Fospar Terminal, located at the Port of Paranaguá, receives the largest cargo in the Port's history. In total, 73.310 tons of bulk ammonium sulfate, a fertilizer used as a source of nitrogen and sulfur, were unloaded between January 13th and 18th. The cargo is destined for eight companies in the region, with 30 thousand tons addressed to Mosaic Fertilizers, the terminal's controller and one of the largest global producers of combined phosphates and potash. To carry out this operation, a study was carried out with the engineer responsible for the pier project and analysis of the load table.

Unloading was carried out by the ship MV Red Marlin, considered the largest ship in the anchorage with 229 meters long, 38 meters wide, 5 meters above standard, and a total capacity of 85 thousand tons. The operation on land was also successful, with the cargo being instantly distributed to importers.

Receiving increasingly larger ships is part of Fospar's commercial strategy, to guarantee competitiveness and productivity for all players involved. With more than 3 million fertilizers unloaded year after year, with operational excellence and total safety, Fospar is the main supplier of superphosphate for the Paranaguá complex, one of the main gateways for fertilizers in the country.
