One of the biggest references in the field of port logistics in the oil and gas sector in Brazil, Vast Infraestrutura has now reached a new operational milestone and completed its first oil transhipment operation with the Chinese CNOOC in Porto do Açu.

Thus, the company Vast Infraestrutura celebrated the oil transshipment operation at Porto do Açu in a recent statement and stated: “CNOOC is one of the largest exploration and production companies in China and currently has its oil production in Brazil concentrated in the fields from Búzios and Mero. We recently signed a long-term contract with CNOOC where Vast became the main logistics partner for the export of its oil production in Brazil. This was the first of many operations to come.”
Vast Infraestrutura seeks to continue expanding its business portfolio in the oil and gas sector after a successful transhipment operation at Porto do Açu
Vast Infraestrutura underwent a rebranding in recent years, as it was called Açu Petróleo and did not have the same focus on the domestic market.

Although the main focus continues to be oil transshipment operations, the company is now opening doors to other businesses in the field.

In this way, the presence of Vast Infraestrutura in the oil and gas sector continues to be expanded and, after the completion of the transshipment operation with CNOOC at the Port of Açu, the logistics company is now looking for new contracts and businesses in addition to oil in Brazil.
