Revolutionizing maritime supply in the heart of Brazil.

The marine fuels arena in Brazil is witness to a major milestone. A Bunker One, one of the leaders in marketing marine fuels, and accelerate, the country's leading energy titan and refinery, sealed a strategic alliance. Together, both will revolutionize the way ships are fueled in Brazilian waters.

Innovation in Supply

Porto do Itaqui, located in the magnificent São Marcos Bay, in Maranhão, serves as the new stage for this disruptive act. Here, monumental vessels such as cargo ships and oil tankers can be refueled without the need to anchor internally. The region not only represents a vital connection for international trade, but also plays a crucial role in exports of valuable commodities such as iron and soybeans.

Competitive Advantages and Efficiency

With the use of a tanker, supply is carried out while ships wait for their arrival, enabling significant savings in terms of time and port costs. This method not only optimizes logistics, but also offers an environment conducive to the exclusive supply of vessels, a concept popularly known as “Bunker Only Call”.

Flavio Ribeiro, the visionary CEO of Bunker One Brasil, highlights that “This partnership represents an increase of around 30% in our operations in Brazil. But it’s not just about covering a new area, it’s the beginning of a promising alliance that could bring innovative solutions to the Latin American shipping industry.”

Security and Depth of Knowledge

Dedicated to safety and excellence, the operation is led by Nova Offshore, a subsidiary of Bunker One. This tanker is not only highly specialized, but is also built to prevent oil spills and ensure agile response in emergency situations.

Acelen and Bunker One, committed to understanding the complexities of the Itaqui area, invested in detailed studies, from meteorological analyzes to mooring techniques. The goal? Ensuring every supply runs to the highest standards.

A closer look at Acelen

Acelen, owner of the Mataripe Refinery, has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability. Recently, the company has invested heavily in efficiency, reducing its carbon footprint and launching ambitious renewable fuel projects. Centered on excellence and respect for the environment and people, Acelen seeks to transform Brazil's energy narrative. For more information, visit acelen.com.
