RIO DE JANEIRO – A Vale iron-ore terminal in Mangaratiba in the state of Rio de Janeiro has been closed because of potential environmental problems, according to a statement issued by Brazilian authorities.
The Ilha de Guaiba terminal, which exports nearly 40-million tons of iron-ore a year, had been operating without a required permit, the statement said.
Vale did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
