After Several Incidents at Açu Port, Shell Decides to Halt Logistical Activities with Prumo and Macaé May Be Next
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Of the 17 operations that Shell Executed at Açu Port in 12 months, there were 3 incidents during this period. There were oil leaks in the ocean, which caused the company to terminate operational contracts at the port using a system called “ship-to-ship,” which is the process of transferring barrels from one ship to another. Prumo Logística is responsible for operations of this type.
In the back-and-forth between the two companies, Prumo is charging Shell for overdue amounts and claims that it is not fulfilling the signed contractual terms. Despite this debt situation, Prumo admitted that incidents did occur, but it alleges that the systems are from third-party companies, as disclosed on its official website.
In an official statement to G1, Shell reported that it stopped operating at Açu Port due to a lack of safety in terminal operations, which is not compatible with the safety standards required by the company.

This problem between the two institutions revealed some issues in cargo handling activities at Açu. Other companies have also been evaluating the safety of operations at these terminals.
Although Petrobras also has operational contracts in the same segment as Shell, it did not wish to comment on this impasse or anything related to safety systems.
Macaé Next
This naturally opens up another range of opportunities in Macaé, as the construction of the Port in the City has now been sanctioned and approved. If the forecasts of specialists are confirmed, Shell may operate at Imbetiba port and later, when Barreto Port is completed, it may close new contracts at this venture as well.
