Brazil's highway to China
From the
FT's beyond brics' blog:
400km north of Rio de Janeiro sits Açu Superport, a port and industrial complex one and a half times the size of Manhattan Island with a main pier sticking out 3 km into the south Atlantic being built by Eike Batista, a billionaire entrepreneur and Brazil’s richest man... Next will come the berths, for up to 10 ships loading and unloading iron ore, coal, oil, granite, pig-iron and steel... China’s deputy trade minister looked at the pier and called it “a highway to China”.

We need one of these big ports in Australia as well....there is always a queue of ships a mile long waiting to ship the coal out of Queensland.
