New Year kicks off to a good start for the Cork's dry bulk sector

摘要

January 2012 kicked off to a good start for the Port of Cork with over 76,000 t of dry bulk animal feeds unloaded in one week, a record for the Port. The high quantity of feed which was unloaded as part cargo from five large bulk carriers, gives a welcome boost to the quantities of dry bulk material handled by the Port of Cork. In the Republic of Ireland bulk cargoes have seen an increase of 2% across all ports and this growth is a reflection of the growing confidence in the agricultural sector.
