105'500 MT BIGGEST RAW SUGAR VESSEL IN HISTORY

SAO PAULO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Agribusiness giant Bunge Ltd BG.N said on Thursday it is loading the UBC Ottawa with more than 105,500 tonnes of raw sugar at the port of Santos, which will set a record for a single shipment of the sweetener.

The cape-size vessel under the Dutch flag will head for the refinery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, once it finishes loading and clearing the inner harbor at Santos, the main outlet for Brazil's sea-borne sugar trade.

Reuters' ship tracking service shows the ship anchored at Bunge's terminal at port on Thursday afternoon.

Gabriel Carvalho, commercial director at Bunge Brasil, said in a statement that the record shipment would "amplify the competitiveness of Brazilian sugar on the international market."

The previous record shipment was for 81,000 tonnes in 2006.
