Revolutionizing Marine Fuel Supply in the Heart of Brazil.

The marine fuel arena in Brazil is witnessing a major milestone. Bunker One, one of the leaders in marine fuel trading, and Acelen, the energy giant and leading refinery in the country, have sealed a strategic alliance. Together, they will revolutionize the way ships are fueled in Brazilian waters.

Innovation in Supply

The Port of Itaqui, located in the magnificent Bay of São Marcos 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 the export of valuable commodities like iron and soybeans.

Competitive Advantages and Efficiency

Using a tanker ship, the refueling is done while ships await their entry, enabling significant savings in terms of time and port costs. This method not only optimizes logistics but also provides a favorable environment for the exclusive refueling of vessels, a concept popularly known as “Bunker Only Call.”

Flavio Ribeiro, the visionary CEO of Bunker One Brazil, emphasizes that “This partnership represents an increase of about 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 can bring innovative solutions to the Latin American shipping industry.”

Safety and Knowledge Depth

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

Acelen and Bunker One, committed to understanding the complexities of the Itaqui area, have invested in detailed studies, from meteorological analyses to mooring techniques. The goal? To ensure that each refueling occurs with 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 heavily invested in efficiency, reducing its carbon footprint and launching ambitious renewable fuel projects. Focused on excellence and respect for the environment and people, Acelen aims to transform Brazil’s energy narrative. For more information, visit acelen.com.
