The biggest ore carrier in the world, Vale Rio de Janeiro, measuring 362 meters, left Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. There, it unloaded iron ore from Carajás, Brazil. The ship’s arrival was reported on TV.
The International Research Journal, an online publication, has classified Vale’s experiments to reduce the soil recovery time at former mining sites as “extraordinary.” See the article.
Vale has won an award from International Financing Review, a UK-based magazine, in the “loan of the year” category. The operation has set the benchmark for other Latin American companies due to its advantageous conditions.
