The Obrinel terminal is expected to step in to help relieve the congestion with its quicker turnaround times. The investment is not being viewed by the Laskaridis family as direct competition to Navios. The two have a good relationship and the terminals could work together. One idea is that panamaxes, which can only load 40,000 tons of grain at Nueva Palmira because of draught restrictions, can now top up with the final 20,000 tons at Obrinel, which is roughly a day’s sailing away.
The advantage of Obrinel is that its two berths can take kamsarmaxes of up to 250 meters in length. It also has a 13.1-metre draught, the deepest on the Parana-to-Paraguay waterway, which will allow panamaxes and most post-panamaxes to fully load. | |
