Brazilian sugar vessels lineup falls

The lineup of vessels waiting to load sugar in Brazilian ports fell to 39 ships waiting from 47 ships waiting two weeks ago, shipping agent Williams said. In a weekly report, Williams said 29 vessels were lined up in the southern port of Santos, compared with 33 last week. There were 7 vessels at Paranagua, up from 6 two weeks ago.
The center-south, which accounts for 85 percent of national sugar cane output, has already harvested around 85 percent of a record crop. Santos port accounted for 80 percent of the sugar tonnage being loaded in Brazilian ports.
