RE:RE:Any news about reviving v.ec?After 11 years there is life in Ecometals again.
The ship Trogir Split, of the Croatian flag, the windiest of China, docked at the Companhia Docas de Santana (CDSA) at this tera-feira (21) to carry out the shipment of 43 thousand tons of manganese ore extracted from the mines of Serra do Navio, ainda durante los operaes da Indstria e Comrcio de Minrios S.A. (ICOMI). The operation is the result of a commercial partnership between Ecometals Mangans do Amap and Cibra Minerao e Indstria Ltda. that promise to divert the mineral sector. This operation ends – at least for the time being – a huge imbrglio that has been crawling in justice for at least 11 years since the new controllers of Icomi Velha announced the resumption of mining activities in Serra do Navio. In the process, an endless dispute over the right to ship the remaining stocks of mining assets has started, while the machinery and other industrial dependencies are being pillaged or will succumb to the elements.
A sentence of the federal judge Joo Bosco Costa Soares da Silva, of the 2nd Federal Court of Macap, decided to authorize the shipment of the bulk cargo since 2018 in the area of the Companhia Docas de Santana (CDSA). The decision still establishes a personal fine of R$ 200 thousand to the director of the organized port of Amap in case of breach of the measure. "It is not for us to question here, as soon as we comply with the judicial determination, then in three days the ship will be loaded and soon to export cargo to China", says Edival Tork, current president of CDSA. Representing Ecometals, the lawyer Rubem Bemerguy told the Dirio do Amap that as justice is being done after years of dispute in various judicial spheres in Amap and in Braslia, where the highest Court of Justice commonly defined on the property of stocked manganese. "It was based on a claim we made together with the STJ (Superior Court of Justice) that we can take this big step without derailing the mineral sector and we are confident now that there will be no setback", said the lawyer.
caambeiros A group of cargo transportation professionals had been stationed in front of CDSA since the weekend when the arrival of the ship to embark on the mine was announced. Jos Arajo, who represents a category of approximately 30 caambeiros, says that for four months he was transporting the cargo of manganese from Serra do Navio to the port in Santana, but that he did not receive his fees, even under contract with the Briga do Brazil, what a contract or service. "We don't want to discuss the merit of having or controlling Icomi's assets, but we just want to receive our services," he said.
Questioned by the report, the representative of Ecometals said that at this moment it is not up to the company to settle a litigation that involves third parties, but it does not rule out that in future operations a class of two truckers from Amapaenses will be activated to carry out new mining piles at the port.
