Vast Infrastructure Completed Its Thousandth Operation at T-Oil, at the Port of Açu, Strengthening Its Leadership in Brazil’s Oil Exports.

Vast Infrastructure reached a significant milestone in its journey by completing, on Saturday (3), its thousandth oil transshipment operation at the T-Oil terminal, located at the Port of Açu, in northern Rio de Janeiro.

The operation symbolizes the accumulated movement of 1 billion barrels since the company’s activities began in 2016. In 2024 alone, the company was responsible for about 40% of the total volume of crude oil exported by Brazil, moving approximately 25.2 million tons — out of a national total of 64 million in the same period.

The T-Oil, a terminal operated by Vast Infrastructure at the Port of Açu, stands out as the only private terminal in the country capable of receiving VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) ships, the largest oil tankers in the world.

The structure is considered the most modern in Brazil in the segment and has already received investments exceeding US$ 500 million.

Currently, the terminal has a license to operate up to 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, playing a strategic role in export logistics.

With a constant growth in global demand and Brazilian oil production, Vast Infrastructure has been positioning itself as a key player in the sector’s advancement.

“Today Brazil exports about 1.7 million barrels per day. With new exploratory campaigns and the increase in Brazilian production, this number could reach 3.5 million at the beginning of the next decade. Vast’s terminal is the leader in the country in oil exports, the main product of Brazil’s trade balance. This demonstrates the strategic importance of T-Oil and the Port of Açu for the national economy,” says Victor Snabaitis Bomfim, the company’s CEO.

Vast Infrastructure’s Operations with Major Operators

The relevance of Vast Infrastructure is also reflected in its client portfolio.

Today, the terminal serves 11 global oil and gas operators operating in Brazil, including: Petrobras, Shell, TotalEnergies, Equinor, Repsol, Galp, Petronas, and PetroChina.

The growing demand has led the company to start studies to expand its operational capacity and keep pace with the sector’s expansion.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

227 giant concrete caissons, the height of a 10-story building, are forming a 9.1 km seawall in Singapore to build the megaport that will be able to handle 65 million containers per year.

Recycled plastic blocks turn into giant Lego for construction, promising to build walls with hammer and nails, reducing cement use, and even removing waste from landfills and rivers.

With a 150 hp 1.4 TSI engine, 10.1-inch VW Play infotainment system, full ADAS package, and now cheaper than Nivus and T-Cross, the Volkswagen Taos 2026 is betting on an aggressive discount to soar among Brazil’s most desired SUVs.

Wi-Fi’s days are numbered: new technology uses 21 lasers to transmit internet at an incredible 362 Gbps, consumes 50% less energy than Wi-Fi 6 and can download 4K movies in less than 1 second
