Petrobras has already taken a significant step towards sustainability with the auction sale of Platform P-32, which will become a milestone in the industry. The winning company of this auction was GERDAU S.A., in partnership with the ECOVIX shipyard.

This is a remarkable example of how Petrobras is implementing sustainable practices in its decommissioning process.

In this context, the partnership between Petrobras and the Port of Açu plays a crucial role in the search for environmentally responsible and efficient solutions in the decommissioning of oil and gas platforms. With a firm commitment to sustainability, Petrobras is leading the way in the industry, promoting an innovative approach to dealing with the legacy of offshore operations.
