Fog Halts Shipping at Brazil's Biggest Port

Dense fog halted the movement of ships in and out of Brazil's biggest port, Santos, early on Monday, according to port administrator Companhia Docas do Estado de São Paulo (Codesp), disrupting shipping operations at a time that sugar exports are at their annual peak.

Santos is the main port for the export of soy, sugar and coffee in Brazil, which is one of the world's top producers of those commodities.

Last week the port had to shut shipping operations for two mornings also due to thick fog.
