Conlog (Concórdia Logística) started port operations at Terminal 32 (T32) located in the Macuco area of the Port of Santos in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Handling primarily pulp, paper and general cargo, T32 was leased by Fibria, after winning the public auction. The term of Fibria’s concession contract for the area is 25 years, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Conlog is responsible for unloading pulp from trains, transporting it to warehouses, inventory management, internal warehouse movements, placement alongside ship and loading. Conlog also is responsible for Fibria’s port operations at Terminals 13, 14 and 15 in the Outeirinhos area.
The area of Terminal 32 has a 33,400-sq.m. warehouse with the capacity to store 40,000 tons of pulp and total annual pulp shipping capacity of 1.8 million tons. The terminal is part of the logistics solution for transporting production from Fibria’s second pulp mill in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, which started operations in August 2017, two months ahead of the date initially projected.
“The startup of Terminal 32 strengthens Fibria’s strategy and competitive advantage in logistics integrated with the forestry and industrial areas, since we export over 90% of our production,” said Wellington Giacomin, Director of Logistics, Supply and IT at Fibria.
Fibria’s logistics structure includes the Intermodal Terminal in Aparecida do Taboado, Mato Grosso do Sul, from where the output of the Três Lagoas Unit production is shipped directly to the Port of Santos.
Fibria is a Brazilian company that is the world’s leading producer of eucalyptus pulp from planted forests.
