Brazilian port operators linked to Cargill and Bunge plan to propose lower Panama Canal tariffs. They argue that shipping grain from northern Brazil via the Cape of Good Hope is about $206,000 cheaper per ship than using the Canal.
If canal fees fall, Brazil-to-China grain freight could become cheaper and faster by 4-5 days, which would ease ocean freight costs for Brazilian exports. Lower freight would tend to weigh on freight rates.
