Expansion Strategy Positions Ultracargo as Innovative Solution in Storage and Transportation in Brazil

Ultracargo, the country’s leader in liquid bulk storage, is navigating new horizons. The plan now is to expand its logistics network, targeting the Brazilian interior, complementing the six port terminals under its operation. Not only is it standing out due to its newly acquired 50% stake in Opla in Paulínia (SP), but Ultracargo is also making bold moves by inaugurating a unit in Rondonópolis (MT) and planning a new terminal in Palmeirante (TO).

Innovations and Opportunities: Rondonópolis on the Radar

The terminal in Rondonópolis is about to receive a significant injection of investments. The goal? To double its storage capacity and expand both rail and road routes. This will facilitate the flow of ethanol transportation. It is worth noting that this terminal has a direct rail connection to the Port of Santos, passing through Paulínia – where Ultracargo holds a 50% share of the liquid bulk terminal.

With Rondonópolis under its wing, Ultracargo envisions a more efficient logistics system for liquid bulk, promptly meeting the growing demand for ethanol. This initiative, in turn, strengthens the biofuels chain – a gigantic step towards transitioning to a green economy.

And there is more: Ultracargo’s foray into the Midwest will optimize fuel transportation. During harvests, when demand intensifies, the company’s strategic position will facilitate the flow of inputs and products between the main producing, consuming areas, and ports. As Décio Amaral, president of Ultracargo, emphasizes: “By investing in terminals with multimodal connections, we are optimizing the logistics of fuels and biofuels, which is currently a bottleneck in Brazil. Transporting fuel by rail to the Midwest and contributing to the flow of ethanol produced in this region brings more agility, sustainability, safety, and efficiency to this operation.”

Expansion in the North and Bright Future

But the Midwest is not the only target. Ultracargo is also eyeing the North. Alongside plans to expand the Terminal de Itaqui (MA) by 2026, the launch of the terminal in Palmeirante is in the works. This terminal will be connected by rail to the Port of Itaqui, making liquid bulk logistics more efficient in the region. Scheduled for 2025, the terminal will focus on transporting biodiesel, ethanol, gasoline, and diesel.

With 1 trillion yuan in investments, China is creating from scratch a “city of the future” almost the size of London to relieve Beijing and transform the project into part of the legacy of supreme leader Xi Jinping.

The sea may advance faster than imagined: a 1-meter rise in ocean levels could leave up to 132 million people below the waterline, while a flaw present in over 99% of coastal analyses suggests that the real risk is already being underestimated.
