Trouble is -we dont know what we are looking for-

Trouble is -we dont know what we are looking for- if the 80k tons of orders 3-5 are still waiting for pickup we would be looking for a very large Panamax bulk carrier of 80k or more.
But if thats already been picked up without our knowledge and they are going to ship some of the very fine 0-1mm stuff processed by trommel etc then they might possibly use a Container ship.
For in Oct or Nov 2010 PR they originally were going to use containers for the 1-3mm fines -which were going to be bagged for environmental compliance reasons(dust)3 bags/per container-they then decided that method was too expensive and found another way.
But the smaller 0-1mm material might be subject to even greater environmental compliance/dust problems and thus- if it is bagged and loaded into containers- it might go by container ship.
All the ships on your site come in and leave on the same day-which means they are likely container ships (only a small bulker would get in and out on same day) and container ships get priority because they are on a tight port to port schedule.
vessel tracker only shows container ships in the window between now and last week of month also, except for a very small 14,500 ton bulker (the Long Beach). The container ships are the Japan (66k tons),Dresden(54k),Chateau(55k),Busan (75k),Blue Whale (54k), Licanto?(40k) and the Singapore (54k)
