Last Friday (07/02), the mining company Vale informed the market in a statement that it is commissioning activities at ship loader 6 at Ponta da Madeira Maritime Terminal in São Luís, Maranhão, after five months of maintenance downtime. The company also stated that the maintenance of CN6, which resulted in the replacement of more than 60% of its components, did not impact the monthly iron ore shipment schedule of the terminal.

The mining company Vale also emphasized in its statement that on January 14, 2021, a fire occurred at CN6 located at the South Berth of Pier IV, an incident that was followed by maintenance activities. During the maintenance period of ship loader 6, Pier IV continued its loading operations through its second ship loader, which was not affected by the fire.

The terminal in São Luís, Maranhão, where the mining company’s ship loader is located, handles ore from Vale’s main production system, located in the Serra dos Carajás, Pará. In June, Brazil exported the largest volume of iron ore in nine months, with companies such as Vale taking advantage of soaring prices, according to government data.
