Denmark’s Port Esbjerg is aiming to boost the volume of dry cargo it handles after its new terminal received its first cargo.

Late last week, Stema Shipping’s 11,546-dwt Tertnes (built 1985) discharged 10,200 tonnes of gravel shipped from Jelsa, Norway.

The new terminal, offering a combined capacity of about 17,000-cbm across its four holds, is intended for cargoes of sand, crushed stone, gravel and granite.
