At 25 Meters Deep, Terminal Is The Only Private One In Brazil Capable Of Receiving This Type Of Vessel

At Port of Açu, Açu Petróleo conducted the first oil transshipment operation using a Very Large Crude Carrier ship for Shell Brasil Petróleo. The movement took place between June 11 and 14, with approximately 2 million barrels of crude oil transferred from the shuttle tankers Lena Knutsen and Vigdis Knutsen, both operating for Shell Brasil Petróleo, to the VLCC Wasit.

The terminal at Açu Petróleo is the only private terminal in Brazil capable of receiving vessels of this size. VLCC oil tankers are among the largest in the world, with a maximum storage capacity of 2 million barrels of oil.

“The terminal at Açu Petróleo in the Port of Açu is one of the most efficient options for oil export in Brazil, given its strategic location between the Santos and Campos basins and a nominal depth of 25 meters, which allows for the berthing of VLCC-sized vessels. The success of this operation for Shell Brasil Petróleo reinforces the importance of moving large volumes of oil through oil transshipment in sheltered terminals (Double Banking), ensuring a high standard of safety and environmental care, as well as greater predictability, which increases the competitiveness of Brazilian oil”, says Victor Snabaitis Bomfim, CEO of Açu Petróleo.

In partnership with Prumo and the German company Oiltanking, Açu Petróleo is licensed to move up to 1.2 million barrels of oil per day at its terminal, and already has the necessary environmental authorization for future investment in an oil storage and treatment park. Currently, about 25% of Brazilian oil exports pass through the Açu Petróleo terminal, through contracts with major global oil companies operating in the country.
