Cadence CEO Kiran Morzaria commented, "We are pleased and proud that the sale and shipment of the second batch of iron ore from Amapa has completed so quickly. That the customer is once again one of the world's largest globally diversified natural resource companies is a clear signal that Amapa is very much back in business, with keen demand for its product."
"On behalf of the Cadence board, our gratitude and appreciation goes out once again to the men and women working to bring Amapa back to life, and who have worked tirelessly to complete this second shipment in a safe and efficient manner. "
Although in line with the Approved Petition, it is nonetheless immensely gratifying to see a substantial amount of Amapa's outstanding debts to former employees and creditors settled with the shipment sale profits, marking a small step along the road to improving prospects for employment and economic activity in the region."
