MR2 Ships Operate in Cabotage, Import, Export, and Deepwater and Ultra-Deepwater Platform Offloading Operations Transporting Oil

Petrobras announced in a relevant fact on Wednesday (06/16) that it has received in Brazil the Suezmax DP2 Eagle Colatina offloading ship, the first of three Eco Type ships built to reinforce the fleet of more sustainable ships for offloading oil platforms operated by Petrobras, with a capacity to transport 50,000 tons of petroleum derivatives such as diesel and gasoline.

With a gross tonnage of 155,000 deadweight tons, the Eagle Colatina, which docked at the Port of Rio de Janeiro at the end of May, is built with eco-efficient technologies and will contribute to reducing carbon emissions in maritime transportation, in addition to strengthening the fleet of offloading ships at a strategic moment for the company, adding operational safety, reliability, and value to Petrobras’s offloading operations.

Petrobras Will Receive Two More Sustainable Ships for Its Offloading Fleet by Year-End

In addition to the Eagle Colatina, Petrobras will receive two more sustainable vessels for its offloading fleet – the Eagle Cambe and the Eagle Crato, which will be delivered by the end of this year.

MR2 Ships Capable of Transporting an Average of 50,000 Tons of Petroleum Derivatives Such as Diesel, Gasoline, and Fuel Oil.

According to a study conducted for the MR2 class of ships, capable of transporting an average of 50,000 tons of petroleum derivatives, an average reduction in fuel consumption of about 24% per ton x mile was observed when compared to conventional vessels of the same class.

These ships operate in cabotage, import, export, and deepwater and ultra-deepwater platform offloading operations along the Brazilian coast, transporting oil and derivatives such as diesel, gasoline, and fuel oil.

“Eco Type ships are increasingly being utilized in our fleet, and our teams have been seeking new options to reduce emissions, as well as structuring chartering models that promote vessel efficiency, as part of the company’s decarbonization strategy,” says Rafael Noac, Petrobras’s Executive Logistics Manager.

“This is a global trend, and other companies are expected to adapt in the coming years. With the implementation of new regulations for maritime transport decarbonization by the IMO, set to take effect from 2023, all conventional vessels will need to make some type of technical modification to become more sustainable,” adds Rafael Noac.
