At the beginning of this month of September (09/01/2020), the market leader Petrobras announced that it will start operating at Imbetiba Port with vessels up to eight meters of draft. By changing this vessel parameter at the Port of Macaé, Petrobras expands business opportunities, thereby increasing the number of cargo movements and also the number of moored ships.

Petrobras Posted Warnings to Prevent Accidents at Macaé Port

To avoid possible accidents, shortly after announcing that the size of the moored ships will be larger at the Port of Macaé, Petrobras began distributing informative materials in the surrounding areas prohibiting the practice of water activities near the access channel of Imbetiba Port.

It is worth noting that to minimize possible impacts in case of emergency situations, Petrobras has made its response plans more agile and effective. They have a team of specialized professionals, 12 Environmental Defense Centers, 12 Advanced Bases, and Emergency Response Centers, distributed throughout Brazil. In addition to small boats, vessels, recovery equipment, and containment barriers, the Environmental Defense Centers have communication equipment and vehicles that can be quickly deployed by road or air.
