Granel Química, Part of a Norwegian Group, Invests Over R$ 80 Million to Expand Its T1 Logistics Terminal in Maranhão

One of the largest companies for logistics and storage of liquid bulk and dry cargo in Brazil, Granel Química, will inaugurate on Thursday, March 24, the expansion of its Terminal 1, located at the Port of Itaqui, in the capital of Maranhão, São Luís. The expansion, which received an investment of R$ 85 million, will feature the addition of another 6 steel tanks, material affected by the conflict in Eastern Europe. Thus, the storage capacity of Terminal 1 will increase by approximately 30%, with a total equivalent to 96 thousand cubic meters (m³).

According to information provided by Granel Química, in addition to this terminal, it also owns another unit in Maranhão, the T2 logistics terminal. This unit is located near the port area of Itaqui, which received a high investment and has a storage potential of 50 thousand cubic meters, where both terminals are connected to enable joint operations. Thus, Granel Química has over 146 thousand cubic meters of installed storage capacity solely in Maranhão, fully aimed at meeting the demand in the region, which has been growing more and more.

As reported by the Broadcast website, Edson Souki, general manager of Granel Química, stated in a note that, following the multimillion investment in the logistics unit expansion project, the company generated over 250 direct and indirect job openings in Maranhão.

About Granel Química Logistics Company

Granel Química is part of the Odfjell Group, originating from Norway. It is responsible for managing 7 logistics terminals spread across Maranhão and in 5 other Brazilian states, which corresponds to a total of over 300 thousand cubic meters of storage potential, distributed across more than 130 tanks, dedicated to various types of liquid bulk, such as, for example, chemicals, corrosives, vegetable oils, ethanol, and fuels, which also have suffered instability due to the war in Ukraine. In addition to these products, there is also investment in infrastructure for pipelines and loading and unloading platforms in maritime, fluvial, railway, and road modalities, for the logistics of items throughout Maranhão and other Federal Units.

Tenege Completes Piling at Gas Sul Terminal, Which Will Have a Regasification Capacity of 15 Million Cubic Meters of LNG Per Day in SC

Initiated by Tenege in October 2021, the piling works at the anchorage terminal of the FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) of the Gas Sul Terminal (TGS), which will have a regasification capacity of 15 million cubic meters of LNG per day under construction in the Bay of Babitonga (SC), were completed on March 12, ahead of the deadline set in the project schedule. During this period, 85 piles ranging from 48 to 57 meters in length each were driven, totaling 4.68 kilometers of pipes and a total load of 1,470 tons. The services were completed within international quality specifications, with no accidents involving distancing.

“We had to overcome numerous challenges, such as weather conditions, in a project where logistics is essential for success. We achieved full success thanks to the dedication and commitment of each member involved in the activities, both at sea and on land, without ever compromising safety, quality, and respect for the environment,” affirms Ricardo Corregio, manager responsible for the offshore works.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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 in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While deserts are seen as unproductive areas, Morocco built the Noor Ouarzazate solar complex, one of the largest in the world, capable of supplying millions of people using only solar energy.

The United States raises a global alert by projecting a record electricity consumption of 4.244 trillion kWh in 2026, driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and electrification, putting unprecedented pressure on networks, generation, and energy infrastructure.

China raises global alert again after banning Brazilian meat due to substance detection, increasing inspections, and raising the risk of new restrictions.

Do plants know how to count? A study reveals “chemical calculation” that allows them to manage energy for up to 12 hours in the dark, adjusting reserves with almost perfect precision and challenging science on intelligence without a brain.

Considered extinct, a rare plant reappears after more than 100 years in a 3,837-hectare reserve in the Atlantic Forest, at an altitude of 1,200 meters, with only 3 specimens recorded in RJ.
