In Less Than A Year, Ipiranga Doubles Its Maritime Fuel Supply Capacity In Guanabara Bay.

You won’t believe what Ipiranga has just done! The company announced an impressive expansion in its maritime fuel operation, doubling its supply capacity in the waters of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Ipiranga is entering a new phase in the marketing of marine gas oil (MGO) for vessels in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro. The company has incorporated the barge E-241, with a capacity of 2,150 m³, into its fleet, significantly increasing its supply potential. Now, with the capacity to meet 18,000 m³ per month, the operation offers more availability, ensuring agility and the traditional quality of the product and services.

Ipiranga is already providing supplies in the South and North regions, at the ports of Paranaguá (PR), Itajaí (SC), Belém, Itaituba, Santarém (PA), and Manaus (AM). The expansion of the maritime fuel operation allows more than one tanker truck to supply the barge simultaneously, speeding up the loading process.

Improvements have been made at the Ipiranga base that supports the operation, making the truck loading infrastructure three times larger and expanding storage capacity to 7,000 m³.

According to the Vice President of Ipiranga Empresas, José Vianna, “we operate with about 12% of the maritime fuel market in Brazil, always offering the best supply service to our clients. The expansion of the operation, in less than a year, is positive for the market as it offers new product supply options for a growing sector”, he emphasizes.

The marketing and distribution of MGO involve five stages, including transportation by pipeline, road, and finally, maritime, all following strict safety protocols according to Ipiranga‘s guidelines.

Ipiranga Expands Marine Fuel Operation and Doubles Capacity in Rio de Janeiro

In Less Than A Year, Ipiranga Doubles Its Maritime Fuel Supply Capacity In Guanabara Bay.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
