The global shortage of containers and port congestions are driving shipments of bagged refined Brazilian sugar back to bulk carriers, reports our local correspondent in Brazil, Representacoes Proinde Ltda. This trend may increase the risk of cargo damage.
Over the last decade, an average of 22 million tonnes of sugar was shipped from Brazilian ports every year, leaving the sugarcane derivative only behind soya beans in terms of quantities of agriproducts exported from Brazil during that period. Most Brazilian sugar is in raw form shipped in bulk. Refined sugar makes up less than 5% of the total exports. The 50-kg bags are mostly shipped in containers although some are carried as general cargo.

散货船装运袋装精制糖
Gard保赔协会在巴西的通代Representacoes Proinde Ltda称，全球集装箱短缺以及港口拥堵使得巴西袋装精制糖运输又回到了散货船上，这种趋势可能会增加货损的风险。
过去十年中，每年平均有2200万吨糖从巴西港运出，巴西出口的农产品中，糖作为甘蔗衍生品的出口量仅次于大豆，大多数都是散装运输的。精制糖占总出口比不到5%，五十公斤重的袋装精致糖大多以集装箱运输，也有一些作为杂货运输。
