The lineup of vessels waiting to load sugar in Brazilian ports jumped to 57 from 49 last week, shipping agent Williams said Thursday. In a report, it said 30 vessels were lined up in the southern port of Santos, up from 27 a week ago. There were 10 vessels at Paranagua versus nine last week.
In north-eastern Brazil, there were five vessels at Maceio, compared to two a week ago, and three at Recife, off from four last week. The center-south, which accounts for 88 percent of national output, is about 75 percent through harvesting a record crop. Santos port accounted for 65 percent of the sugar tonnage being loaded in Brazil's ports.
