The shipping platform

Location: Itacoatiara is located 108 nautical miles downriver from Manaus on the left bank of Amazonas river. It takes roughly 51 hours upstream transit time leaving Fazendinha pilot station for the vessel to reach Itacoatiara-AM, and 42 hours downstream. Terminals are about 800 miles inland (600 miles from Pilot Station, Fazedinha). General overview: The port handles mainly soya beans, fertiliser and general cargo. ●Floating Hermasa Terminal I -For soya beans, soya meal, maize and soya oil. -The terminal is about 800 miles inland (600 miles from Pilot Station, Fazendinha). -Panamax vessels can make the journey from the Atlantic Ocean up to the Amazon to Itacoatiara in 3 days. The depth alongside the terminal can reach 30 meters during flooding, but there are draft restrictions at Amazon River’s mouth, called Barra Norte (Ponta do Céu) which is 11,50metres. -The terminal comprises a twin-hull (catamaran) floating pier, roughly 70 meters long by 14 meters wide, with two steady ship-loaders. Convoy of barges (25x2,000T=50,000 tons;) carrying the soybeans and/or maize sailing from the Porto Velho terminal through the Madeira River can be docked inside the floating pier and their cargo transferred to silos ashore or directly into the ship's cargo holds both ways measured by scales. The barge gantry unloader can handle up to 1,500 MT/hr of cargo. ●Hermasa Anchorage Terminal II -System of buoys complex – for soya beans, maize, and discharges fertilizer. -Transhipment operation is performed at inner anchorage of Itacoatiara roads – close to Hermasa floating terminal. The vessel will stay moored on five buoys: 3 ones at forward and 2 ones at afterpart, not allowed dropping anchors. The Crane assembled on top of a Barge will be moored alongside the vessel, where the loading will be performed by a grab linked to the Crane. ●Terminal Fluvial do Brasil (TFB) -TFB is for for liquid products. Liquid cargo is discharged from the vessel (diesel, ethanol and gasoline) and stored in the shore tanks, for later transfer to the barges that will distribute products in the cities of the area (Parintins and Porto Velho). ●Novo Remanso -It is a public berth for general cargo and passengers.
