The oldest warehouse ADM, now installed in the Port of Santos, had no use for a long time and therefore the space of 11 thousand square meters will be occupied by one of the most modern warehouses of Santos pier grains. The terminal is investing in technology in favor of the environment.
According to Eduardo Rodrigues, director of logistics and ports of ADM, the technology used does not yet exist in the Brazil . “ADM ran the whole world to find what was best in shiploaders technology, a British technology that is used for cement and reduces the maximum dust emission to the environment. And we’re bringing it to the grain, “he concludes.
Two shiploaders, equipment leading products to the ship, will operate at the Santos terminal. In addition, local discharging wagons and trucks will also be closed with automatic curtains, which will prevent large dust emission in contact with the environment.
Rodrigues also said it will use ‘smart lamellae ‘. “We are confining all the dust emission at the terminal because we believe that is a necessity of society and it is our duty as a company,” he adds.
The port consultant Sergio Aquino said that the expansion works came in great time. “These investments are critical to the survival and competitiveness of the Port of Santos. It is a way to overcome the crisis with investment in port infrastructure, which generates results in the medium and long term, “he said.
The main objective is to reduce by 70% or 80% dust reduction in terminal Santos. The modernization process began in January this year and will be completed in February 2017. One thousand indirect jobs will be generated during construction. It is expected to also increase the staff when the new warehouse is running.
