The Construction in Palmeirante Is a Strategic Step to Strengthen the Logistics of Fuels and Biofuels in Four States

Ultracargo, recognized as the largest independent liquid bulk storage operator in Brazil, has begun construction of an ambitious terminal in Palmeirante, Tocantins. This project, which started in January and is expected to be completed by September, represents a significant advancement in the company’s strategy to establish itself as a provider of integrated logistics solutions. The terminal will focus on the storage of fuels and biofuels, playing a crucial role in the supply of Maranhão, Tocantins, Pará, and Mato Grosso.

Innovation and Safety in Construction

The project includes the installation of 13 tanks, of which 12 will be dedicated to the storage of products such as gasoline, diesel, and ethanol, while the 13th tank will be reserved for water, integrating the facility’s fire-fighting system. The infrastructure will adopt modern safety practices, including containment dikes to prevent leaks and advanced fire-fighting systems, ensuring safe and efficient operations.

Ultracargo anticipates the involvement of up to 400 professionals in the construction of the terminal, prioritizing local labor and specialists in complex operations from different parts of Brazil. The company emphasizes the importance of sustainability, adopting measures such as water reuse and proper waste management, strictly following environmental legislation.

Connection and Capacity

With a storage capacity of 23,000 m³, the terminal has the potential to start operations in early 2025, strengthening the supply infrastructure in the region and contributing to the efficiency of liquid bulk transportation with greater safety and sustainability.

The Expansion of Ultracargo

Ultracargo already operates terminals in strategic locations such as Rondonópolis, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Aratu, Suape, Itaqui, and Vila do Conde, and holds 50% of Opla, an ethanol terminal in Paulínia. With over 1 million cubic meters of static capacity, the company stands out in the national and international scene for its operational excellence and commitment to sustainability.

The new terminal in Palmeirante marks another milestone in Ultracargo’s journey, which, with almost 60 years of history, reaffirms its role as a leader in logistics solutions and liquid bulk storage, contributing to the energy and logistical transformation of Brazil.
