Cotton & Western Mining Inc. (CWRN)

[microcaps1]

Best info we have from recent PR's is 35000 metric tons/ship--Handymax ship class-- 3 shiploads for first contract of 105,000 dmt.
When they feel comfortable they have worked out any bugs in the process, and now that the dredging has been finished and the port can handle post-Panamax ships(as per pesquero),CWRN previously has said they would transition to 75,000 dmt Panamax ships.
Port is a minimum 14.5 meter depth now w 16 meter navigation area,as per new official port video posted days ago by somebody else. Handymax average 33 feet draft and Panamax 39 feet draft.

By post-Panamax I assume pesquero is referring to the width and depth of the Panama canal after it is widened/deepened-which last I heard was expected in 2014.

In other words the port in its recent dredging was preparing to handle post-Panamax ships-the best ports are doing this so as not to lose any business once the canal is widened/deepened-for shipbuilders are already planning if not building new post-Panamax ships.

Presently the Panamax class ships are constructed so close to the canals max dimensions it slows their transit through the canal and is a headache to the canal workers.

CWRN's ships do not go thru the canal(just to avoid confusion) and I and others have guessed a 12 day transit to China.
