The partnership aims to strengthen operations at the liquid bulk terminal of the complex, which is under construction. The location was chosen due to its strategic position on the southern coast of Espírito Santo and its infrastructure designed to accommodate large vessels.

The operation will take place at the liquid bulk terminal of Phase 1 of Porto Central, which will feature deep waters and suitable infrastructure for large ships, such as VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers). The goal is to ensure greater efficiency, safety, and predictability in oil transshipment operations.
