Vessel Was Loaded With Gas Turbine From Thermal Power Plant Under Construction at the Complex; Terminal Establishes Itself as Best Option for General Cargo
São João da Barra, May 3, 2019 – The Multicargas Terminal (T-MULT) at the Açu Port Complex, located in Northern Fluminense, received this week the vessel BBC Amethyst, which brought the first gas turbine of UTE GNA I, the main equipment that will compose the energy island of the thermal power plant under construction in the complex by Gás Natural Açu (GNA).
The vessel was the first on the route from the Port of Antwerp to the Açu Port. In addition to the turbine, the ship was also loaded with other equipment and parts for the thermal power plant. The entire unloading operation was carried out by T-MULT employees, who are trained to handle different types of cargo, such as bulk solids, project cargo, and general cargo.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
“This operation was an important milestone, not only due to the significant cargo it moved, but also for being the first vessel to make the route between Antwerp and Açu, partner ports since 2017. Açu Port is strategically located in Southeastern Brazil, close to major oil fields, and brings together components that are advantageous in terms of cargo handling, logistics, and industry, which is certainly important for the development of both ports. We are confident that many operations will still be carried out from this route”, stated Tadeu Fraga, CEO of Porto do Açu Operações.
According to Tessa Major, commercial director of Porto do Açu Operações, “both ports have deep knowledge in project cargo handling and aim for sustainable growth. Furthermore, the competitive advantages of Açu, developed under the port-industry concept, were decisive for the success of this operation”, she stated.
The turbine, manufactured by Siemens, was transported, in the first part of the journey, by a barge coming from Mülheim, Germany, to the Katoen-Natie terminal in Antwerp, where it was subsequently loaded into the hold of the BBC vessel. With a capacity of 1.3 GW, the thermal power plant is set to start operations in 2021 and will be able to supply approximately 6 million residences.
