Bunker One Will Support Offshore Bunkering Operations About 50 Nautical Miles Off the Coast of Itaqui in Brazil with the Deployment of a Bunker Vessel

The marine fuel supplier Bunker One has expanded its offshore operations to the north of Brazil with the deployment of a tanker to supply low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low sulfur marine gasoil (LSMGO).

Brazil Is a Strategic Point in the Offshore Industry

“Brazil remains strategically important for Bunker One and the global offshore market. Expanding our presence to the north of Brazil aligns with our ambition to strengthen our position in the Americas. This region is vital for Brazilian commodity exports, and our presence there will provide our clients with more flexibility in terms of bunkering options during their journeys,” said Flavio Ribeiro, General Manager of Bunker One Brazil.

Peter Zachariassen, CEO of Bunker One, commented: “I am very pleased that we can maintain momentum and move forward with our plans to expand our operational reach in the offshore market with the deployment of the tanker. As we continue with our ambitious growth plans, we will, of course, remain dedicated to our business partners and keep our strong focus on providing our customers with the highest quality services.”

Tanker in the Brazilian Offshore Market

Oil companies want the inclusion of tankers in BR do Mar. The Brazilian Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels (IBP) sent a letter to the Ministries of Economy and Infrastructure asking the government to evaluate the inclusion of tankers in the BR do Mar project, a promise of the Bolsonaro government to encourage cabotage navigation in Brazil.

The IBP, which represents oil companies operating in the country, assesses that the current rules may lead to a bottleneck in the flow of oil and natural gas production, risking a negative impact on the increase of production and exploration in the sector.

Brazil currently produces about 3 million barrels per day, predominantly offshore, with a highlight on pre-salt fields, which already account for more than 60% of total production. In the case of platforms without connection to onshore terminals, such as the large pre-salt fields, this oil is moved by shuttle tankers.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
