imagem gerada por IA / Trump e estreito de Hormuz Recusa da OTAN e UE no Estreito de Hormuz 2026: Erro de Chamberlain, Ameaça de Mísseis Iranianos e o Fim da Proteção Americana na Europa A guerra entre EUA-Israel e Irã, deflagrada em 28 de fevereiro de 2026, não é apenas mais um conflito no Oriente Médio. É o momento em que a Europa decidiu, mais uma vez, ficar de fora — e isso pode custar muito caro. "Não é nossa guerra" Enquanto mísseis balísticos iranianos caem diariamente sobre Israel, Arábia Saudita, Emirados e bases americanas, a OTAN e a União Europeia responderam com um sonoro “não é nossa guerra”. Trump pediu uma coalizão naval para reabrir o Estreito de Hormuz — rota que responde por 20% do petróleo e gás mundial. A resposta europeia? Silêncio ou desculpas diplomáticas. Alemanha, França e a própria chefe de política externa da UE foram claros: “Não vamos colocar nossos soldados em risco”. Essa postura lembra dolorosamente Neville Chamberlain em 1938. Acreditan...
The Brazilian Grain Harvest and the Importance of Proper Soybean Shipment Procedures
The Brazilian grain harvest for the 2025 crop is expected to reach record levels. According to the Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB), the total production of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds is expected to reach 322.6 million tons, representing a 10.2% increase compared to the 2024 harvest. Soybean production is expected to be a standout, with predictions of reaching 160.2 million tons, surpassing the production recorded in 2023 and setting a new record. Corn production is also expected to increase significantly, with an estimated 115.9 million tons.
Shipping soybeans is a complex operation that involves its own set of procedures. From entering export documents into the Siscomex system (Customs) to ensuring cargo storage and handling, everything must be carefully checked by technicians, surveyors, and other skilled stakeholders.
Most complaints usually arise from loading soybeans into vessel holds. These complaints often relate to cargo temperature and moisture during and after loading. P&I clubs recommend maintaining cargo temperatures between 25ºC and 30ºC and an average moisture content of 11.5% or less to avoid cargo damage (e.g., self-heating, caking) and future claims by importers. As indicated on this site:
They also advise their members to verify the “quality certificates” which specify the cargo’s characteristics and, if possible, collect samples of soybeans, despite the bill of lading's note: “received on board in apparent good order and conditions.” This is to avoid any disputes by consignees at destination ports.
China is the main importer of Brazilian soybeans, and disputes related to cargo damages have increased in Chinese courts. Considering the transit time from Brazil to Chinese ports is around 40 days, carriers must take all necessary security measures during loading and throughout the long voyage to Chinese ports.
