As the largest port terminal in Brazil, Porto do Açú is the only one capable of receiving VLCC vessels
The VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) that landed in the Port of Açu this week is among the largest in the world, with a storage capacity of up to 2 million barrels of crude oil. The Oil Terminal, T-Oil, developed by Açu Petróleo is the only Brazilian private terminal capable of receiving VLCC class vessels. The operation was only possible after the investment of BRL 400 million, carried out last year, with the dredging works that brought the nominal depth of the terminal to 25 meters.
The ship's name is called DHT Redwood and this operation refers to the current contract with Petrogal, which has a 20% stake in Norte de Carcará, in the Santos Basin, acquired in the 2017 auctions. do Açú will now have an intense movement of large ships and there is an international commotion of oil and gas companies for operations of this type in Brazil, and the port terminal of Açú is the only one capable of meeting this demand.

Anyone who thinks that the Port of Açú only has the function of mooring and holding vessels is wrong, it goes far beyond that. The correct term to use for this project is actually “port complex”, because in addition to carrying out this type of operation, it will also include a thermoelectric plant, gas complex, import/export of ores and grains, in addition to the metalworking factories located there. The representatives of Smart Training were there and recorded audios and videos stunned by the size and complexity of the place, see the article here.
