Tubarão Complex - aerial view

Mais algumas fotos aéreas feitas no dia 25 de Junho.
Infelizmente são algumas fotos apenas, se pode ter uma visão parcial do que é o complexo de Tubarão que compreende o Porto de Praia Mole, em primeiro plano com o terminal de carvão (o maior do Brasil).

A baixo pode se ver o TPD - o Terminal de Produtos Diversos, da qual é conhecido como Pier 3 de Tubarão.

Se vê nesta os sistemas de embarque de grãos do TPD, e a frente parte do Pier 1 e ao fundo o gigante Pier 2.

Um graneleiro porte Capesize atracado no Pier 2, em final de carregamento, nota se que é um navio ainda pequeno para o porte deste pier, é aqui que o Berge Stahl atraca quando vem até Vitória, um dos poucos portos do mundo que recebem ele.

O navio atracado é o M/V ANANGEL ODYSSEY - IMO 9332523

Vejam só quem nós podemos encontrar aqui, a P III, uma plataforma de perfuração tipo Jackup, auto elevável, no momento ela aparenta estar em posição de fundeio, com as pernas fixando ela no fundo, em frente a Praia de Camburi, aonde a tensa é de aeria, ideal para este tipo de plataforma ( leito mais duro).

Junto dela se nota um AHTS da BOS, possivelmente o BOS Topázio, em stand by, da para se notar que as águas são rasas pelo turbilhão de areia que sobe, devido à ação dos propulsores do navio.

E para finalizar vista parcial da Praia do Canto, e Ilha do Frade com sua bela ponte, Ilha esta que proporciona visão privilegiada do Terminal de Tubarão.

E creio que seja o BOS Turquesa, se não me engano o Topázio tem o bico de proa mais arredondado.; June 28, 2010 at 5:33 PM

PORT OF VITORIA

The city has two ports: the Port of Vitória and the Port of Tubarão.

The Port of Vitória is the most difficult port for ships to access in all of Brazil. The Bay of Vitória is extremely narrow, with stones and mountains that complicate the access by freighters and maritime cruisers to the docks. Ships, cars, and people all compete for space. There are restrictions on traffic, limiting the use of the port. Today the port is mostly used by cruise ships and for the repair of ships and oil platforms.

The Port of Tubarão was designed in the 1960s by Companhia Vale do Rio Doce when the Port of Vitória began showing signs of saturation. It has far easier access to the sea. From its opening in 1966, its capacity has gradually increased, reaching 80 million tonnes/year in the last decade. Although originally created to export iron ore, in recent years it has added silos for storing grains and soybean meal. The port is located at one end of Camburi Beach.

Port Commerce

The City of Vitoria (Portuguese), blessed with three ports, was an important center for imports to the rest of the state. It also exports agricultural and industrial products, performing a vital function for the State of Espirito Santo. While its role as marketplace and coffee port built the city in the early 20th Century, its economy has diversified. Today, it is home to a productive iron processing and steel-making industry. With the recent discovery of oil in the state, the Port of Vitoria has found additional revenues that support a growing tourism industry and real estate market. The Port of Vitoria is famous for its beaches and culture. It has abundant parks and forests, and cultural events enliven the tranquil setting.

In the 1960s, Port of Vitoria facilities were overwhelmed. The Port of Tubarao was opened in 1966. With much easier ocean-going access, it is located at the north end of Camburi Beach on the open waters of Espirito Santo Bay. While it was created to handle iron ore, over the years, traffic has increased to include grains and soybean meal as well. The Port of Praia Mole was built in the 1980s to handle the ever-increasing traffic through the Port of Vitoria. Together, the three ports are part of the Port of Vitoria’s Espirito Santo Complex.

Today, the complex is one of Brazil’s most important ports. It is connected by rail and highway to the hinterlands and offers a capable inter-modal transportation system. The federal government’s Companhia Docas do Espirito Santo (CODESA) manages and maintains port facilities that include the following.

The Port of Vitoria has modern infrastructure operated by public-private partnerships that include over 60 maritime agencies, more than 40 port operators, and more than 10 cargo terminals that serve over 2000 ships every year.

Capuaba Quay is 774 meters long with alongside depth of almost 11 meters. It contains eight thousand square meters of warehouse space, 100 thousand square meters of open yards, and a retro-port of about 300 thousand square meters. Paul Quay is 420 meters long with alongside depth of almost 10 meters and contains 25 thousand square meters of yards.

The liquid bulk terminals handle petroleum products and alcohol at a wharf of 162 meters with alongside depth of 8.23 meters. The dock has capacity to handle 500 cubic meters per hour and to store up to 50 thousand cubic meters. The Paul Quay at the Port of Vitoria handles solid bulk, primarily iron ore. It rail access and two wharves of 420 meters with alongside depth of 10.7 meters.

The CPVV Terminal serves the oil extraction and refining industry ( Oil industry ) and handles general and containerized cargo. It can accommodate ships of 250 meters with a draft of 10.5 meters. The Victory Quay handles general cargo, primarily paper, cellulose, sugar, grains, and iron products with four berths at total length of 766 meters and alongside depth from 9 to 10.5 meters. Praia Mole is a private quay for handling Steel products and mineral coal.
