With her port call on Jan 4 the M/V Asian Parade is the first 8,000 capacity PCTC to ever call Vitoria port in Brazil. 

It has for a long time seemed difficult to perform the call in Vitoria port for these big sized vessels due to their draft condition. However, after comprehensive studies, EUKOR finally decided to send Asian Parade to Vitoria for the discharge of 3,234 units. 

The operation was successful, and M/V Morning Lynn made the second 8,000 capacity vessel call in Vitoria on Feb 10.
