Eldorado Brasil Celebrates One Year of Operations at New EBLog Terminal in Santos

Aug. 27, 2024 - Eldorado Brasil Celulose recently celebrated the first year of operations at the Eldorado Brasil Logística (EBLog) port terminal in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. The anniversary brings with it a 30% increase in average shipping productivity, when compared to the activities carried out at the previous terminal. The twelve-month record was set in March of this year, when 21,000 tons were shipped in a single day, on two fronts.

In order to provide an outlet for the pulp, the figures for the first year are impressive: more than 20,000 trucks unloaded; around 2,000 containers stuffed (loaded); more than 60 ships operated, with an increase of more than 45% in the volume of pulp shipped in the break bulk mode (loose cargo) compared to the previous terminal.

The site has 150 employees and has capacity for up to 72 rail wagons, as well as berthing two ships simultaneously.

"With the new terminal, Eldorado Brasil has seen an extraordinary gain in logistical competitiveness,” said says Flávio da Rocha Costa, Logistics Director at Eldorado Brasil's EBLog. “We gained autonomy and agility and collaborated with the economic and social development of the city of Santos."

In line with the integration of Port and City, Eldorado is presenting three artistic panels over 10 meters high, painted and signed by the artist Jabah, representing the eucalyptus plantation, the forest and Eldorado's pulp mill, adding color and life to the port region.

Another significant milestone, which is part of the EBLog Terminal's one-year anniversary, is the construction of the pedestrian walkway, located on Avenida Governador Mário Covas Júnior, which is very busy and close to the terminal. In July of this year, the walkway, which received an investment of R$5 million from Eldorado Brasil, became part of the local urban landscape.

Eldorado Brasil Celulose produces an average of 1.8 million tons of high-quality pulp per year, meeting the most demanding standards and certifications in the international market.
