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”.
