Vale Brazil er verdens største bulker

På tirsdag ankommer verdens største bulker, den 400.000 DWT store Vale Brazil, til Rio de Janeiro. Den 362 meter lange bulker er den første i en serie på 19 gigantiske skibe, bestilt af det brasilianske mineselskab Vale.

De nye skibe, der udgør en ny klasse - Chinamax , skal fragte jernmalm fra de sydamerikanske miner til de kinesiske stålværker, der suger 60 procent af al den jernmalm der brydes i verden til sig.

De nye gigantskibe kan fragte mere end dobbelt så meget jernmalm ad gangen som de Capesizes der i dag står for hovedparten af malmtransporterne mellem Sydamerika og Kina.

De nye skibe er dårlig nyt for de rederier der i dag sejler jernmalm fra Brasilien til Kina. Gigantskibene tilfører markedet så stor kapacitet, at analytikere vurderer, at der kan gå op til fire år, før markedet igen bliver rentabelt.

Ud over de 19 nye Chinamaxes er Vale i gang med at ombygge en række tidligere supertankere til malmtransport, hvilket vil bringe mineselskabets flåde op på i alt 36 gigantiske bulkcarrier.
