en.Wedoany.com Reported - The bulk carrier "African Peacock" (IMO 1013664) recently docked at the deep-sea terminal of the port of Fray Bentos, Uruguay, loading 18,000 tons of bulk pine logs. It will later supplement cargo in Montevideo before sailing to Kandla, India.

The vessel berthed on Saturday (the 6th) and was scheduled to depart after loading. However, due to protests by truck drivers in multiple locations across the country (including the capital of the Río Negro department) on Monday (the 8th), loading operations were interrupted and are expected to resume on Tuesday (the 9th).

"African Peacock" flies the Panama flag, was built in 2024, measures 183 meters in length and 31 meters in beam, is owned by MOR, with Repremar acting as agent and Río Estiba handling operations.

Daniel Rodríguez, port captain of the National Port Authority (ANP), stated that this is the sixth operation at the terminal (located at kilometer 94 of the Uruguay River) this year. A total of 66 workers directly participated in this operation, along with 35 transport personnel. The terminal is managed by the ANP, and the last similar operation occurred in April, when the "African Gannet" (IMO 9749233) loaded 17,000 tons of bulk pine logs for the same destination.
