Campos Basin will stop in 2 days if the strike continues

With the lack of fuel to supply the offshore units in the Campos Basin, work inputs are starting to run out

THERE IS a risk of stoppage in activities at airports where oil tankers are boarded and disembarked in the Campos Basin, in addition to other inputs and food for the oil platforms. The NF Oil Workers' Union asks you to notify as soon as there are problems in this regard, in this way they will take the appropriate demands to stop oil and gas activities throughout the Basin, regardless of which segment or type of service, including the immediate disembarkation of all workers.

At this moment, aviation kerosene is at a critical level and if in the next two days, if the cargo transport strike situation does not return to normal, it will be necessary to use the emergency stock destined for boarding and disembarking, that's all.

O The union still criticizes the parties and sympathizers who were in favor of the impeachment of former president Dilma, that fuel increases are higher in the current government than in the last 13 years of the PT government. In numbers released by the General Coordinator of Sindipetro NF, Tezeu Bezerra, PT increases were 28% while in Michel Temer's government, this percentage is more than 70%.

Cascade effect

The entire fleet of offshore activities and support needs trucks to transport fuel to vessels and oil platforms, as they run on diesel engines that generate electricity. Electronic, navigation and communications systems in this unit depend on fuel logistics. With the offshore operations stopped, there is less fuel production, with less supply in the market, it will become more expensive (law of supply and demand), leaving prices higher than they already are and increasing the costs of operations. The fight now is for the government to reduce taxes, which are responsible for more than 50% of the final cost to the consumer.
