According to Ultracargo’s President, Décio Amaral, the arrival in Pará is important to expand the company’s reach and presence in regions with growth potential, such as the so-called Northern Arc, formed by the seven ports of the North and Northeast. “The Port of Vila do Conde is an efficient link for the region with other territories, as well as serving as an entry point for fuels. The new terminal will collaborate in the development of the liquid bulk storage sector in Pará,” he emphasizes.
Ultracargo’s Total Storage Capacity Will Be Expanded to 1 Million m³, Representing Over 30% of the Liquid Bulk Port Market in Brazil
With a high level of automation, the Vila do Conde terminal has 17 tanks, totaling 110,000 m³. Thus, Ultracargo’s total storage capacity will be increased by about 14%, rising from 883,000 m³ to 1 million m³. This number already represents over 30% of the liquid bulk port market in Brazil, which currently includes 17 companies. Together, these players account for a static capacity of 3.3 million m³.

The terminal’s infrastructure includes features that provide flexibility and operational efficiency for customers. Among them is a pier for the movement of liquid bulk, with a draft of 16 meters, prepared to accommodate large vessels and barges, through two separate berths. In addition, the operations of the maritime and road modes are independent, allowing them to be conducted simultaneously.
To meet the demand for fuel storage, the terminal was designed to operate with a high level of productivity and efficiency. Furthermore, following the safety principles that have made the company a reference in the sector, the terminal will also have a fire prevention and fighting system, with additional safety barriers beyond regulatory requirements.
