Hamburg Sud is adding a weekly port of call from Jacksonville to the southern Brazilian port of Navegantes, to take advantage of the South American nation's booming economy.   The stop at Navegantes will be launched from mid-September, making it the fifth Brazilian port called on by the line, said Francis Larkin, Hamburg Sud's senior vice president, reports the Jacksonville Business Journal.   It noted that Brazil is Florida's top trading partner and Jacksonville's second largest trading partner, and imports are expected to continue to grow.   The main imports from Brazil are building materials, lumber, furniture, textiles and auto parts, with chemicals and raw materials being exported to Brazil.   Asian Shipper
