After signing a contract with Efen, Vast Infraestrutura completed its first operation at the Açu Liquid Terminal (TLA), a new terminal at the Port of Açu in São João da Barra. A few weeks ago, the infrastructure company took over operations at the site with the goal of transforming it into a hub for the storage and handling of liquids.
Vast performed the transshipment of marine gas oil (MGO) using the ship-to-barge method, which offers greater efficiency and cost savings. This fuel is widely used in the main propulsion engines of vessels, including offshore support vessels (OSVs) and tugboats. The process involved transferring fuel from a berthed MR, with a gross tonnage of up to 59,000 tons, to a barge alongside.
The companies have signed a five-year agreement, and Efen will have storage capacity for 20,000 m³ to supply the markets at the Port of Açu and offshore, from a total of 84,000 m³ later available.
