Vast and Petronas Sign Contract for the Provision of Oil Transportation Services at the Port of Acu Terminal, Located in the State of Rio de Janeiro

Aiming for the future of the national fuel market and its expansion in the segment, Vast announced in recent weeks an important contract for its business portfolio. 

This is an agreement for the provision of oil transshipment services with Petronas, to operate at the infrastructure company’s Port of Acu Terminal.

Vast announced on 01/18 the signing of the new contract with the oil company, which aims to boost both companies in the business of oil exports to the international market.

With the signing of the contract for oil transshipment operations, Vast becomes the main logistics partner of Petronas for fuel exports in Brazil.

The new business marks an even greater presence of the infrastructure company in the customs operations of oil in the region of the Port of Acu, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Moreover, it expands the company’s client portfolio at the beginning of 2023. Vast is responsible for 30% of Brazilian oil exports and has already handled more than 540 million barrels since the beginning of its operations.

Now, with its operations at the Port of Acu Terminal with Petronas, it will be able to become even more relevant not only in the national scenario but also internationally.

“This achievement is a direct result of the dedication of our teams and our focus on operational excellence, safety, and respect for the environment,” said the company in a statement.

One week after signing the contract for export oil services at the Port of Acu Terminal, Vast has already begun operations.

The company announced that last Wednesday it received Petronas at its port terminal for the first fuel transshipment operation in the fluminense complex.

“On that occasion, the Petronas team had the opportunity to tour our facilities and closely observe the operation, which handled about 1 million barrels between two large vessels, one of the VLCC type and one Suezmax,” stated the company.

The first oil transportation operation by Vast with Petronas at the Port of Acu Terminal marks an important step for future projects in 2023.
