Motril port saw a large bulk-carrier ship, Banasol, dock, carrying 50,000 tonnes of molasses; the largest shipment to date in the port.

Mind you, not all of the cargo will be unloaded; only 16,000 tonnes, which are for the Azucarera del Guadalfeo (belonging to the rum factory).

The designated cargo will be unloaded over the weekend and trucked off in tanker lorries requiring some 640 trips to the refinery.

The ship set off from Pakistan and will head for Amsterdam as the last port of call where the remaining cargo will be unloaded.
