Accident Occurred with a Coal Forklift at the Cargo and Bulk Terminal. Causes Are Being Investigated

A structure collapsed at a station of the National Steel Company, at the Port of Itaguaí, in Sepetiba, on the night of this Tuesday, September 11. Three employees were injured. The company announced 58 job openings last month for the city of Valença.

In a statement, CSN Mineração Tecar clarified that the accident occurred with a coal forklift at the Cargo and Bulk Terminal, and that its causes are being investigated.

The mining company also reported that the three injured employees were properly treated and have already been released.

The CSN Mining is the second largest exporter of iron ore in Brazil and is among the five most competitive in the transoceanic market.

The company owns the Casa de Pedra and Engenho mines, the Pires processing complex, a stake in the MRS railway, and a captive terminal for iron ore export at the Port of Itaguaí (TECAR).

Recently, the Company Signed a Contract to Supply 10 Million Tons of Ore to Anglo-Swiss Company

The agreement is an extension of supply with Glencore, as another contract already signed in February provided for the sale of 22 million tons over five years.

CSN issued a statement announcing that the contract provides for a pre-payment of US$ 250 million to supply an additional 10 million tons of ore over five years.

The statement also said: “This new portion already reflects CSN’s improved credit profile by embedding lower financial costs and constitutes an additional step for the company towards a healthy and sustainable capital structure, as part of its previously announced deleveraging plan to the market.”
