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.”
