Vale Rio de Janeiro
A large crowd had gathered awaiting the arrival of the world's largest bulkcarrier, "Vale Rio de Janeiro".
She was carrying 360.000 mt. of iron ore for the German steelmakers.
This vessel was anchored 40 miles off the coast since Wednesday due to adverse weather conditions.
Finally she entered on 8th January 2012, assisted by 4 Smit tugs, under perfect weather conditions.
