This week, Vast Infraestrutura received for the second time at T-Oil the DP Ametista Brasil, a Shell vessel that is the first from a multinational oil and gas company to operate in the country with a 100% Brazilian crew.
The initiative by the O&G operator, which has been a Vast client since 2016, brings important gains in efficiency and reductions in carbon emissions for operations, as it helps optimize the vessel’s logistics, reducing travel and, consequently, fuel consumption.
Vast Infraestrutura is pleased to receive the Ametista Brasil and is proud to have partners that share its values and commitments.
In 2025, Vast Infraestrutura achieved significant progress and recognition in its Decarbonization Journey. Guided by two main pillars, Electrification and Fuels, the company focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across its operations.
This ongoing effort earned the company an A- rating in “Climate Change” in the CDP 2025, an international ranking that assesses corporate performance in addressing climate change.
The result places Vast Infraestrutura at the “Leadership” level, a recognition granted to organizations with a high degree of transparency and maturity in managing their environmental impacts.
On December 11, Vast Infraestrutura concluded the second cycle of Start, the company’s Innovation Program. In this second edition of the internal initiative, launched in 2024, Vast developed nine proposals, including three innovation projects and six continuous improvement actions.
To close the 2025 cycle, the Start Day was hel, an event in which the teams presented the progress and results of the projects and actions developed, highlighting the strengthening of the company’s culture of innovation.
The proposals designed and implemented throughout the year by employees ranged from structural and strategic solutions for Vast’s business to small day-to-day improvements that directly contribute directly to the efficiency of our operations.
Vast Infraestrutura and its teams are ready to continue innovating.
In November, Vast carried out its Annual Individual Emergency Plan (IEP) Drill at T-Oil, using a full deployment model with the mobilization of 100% of our oil spill containment and recovery resources at sea. The exercise aims to test and optimize the company’s emergency response capabilities.
This year, we reached a record number of participants. A total of 172 people were mobilized for the drill, including Vast employees and representatives from partner companies, competent authorities, such as the Brazilian Navy, the State Environmental Institute (INEA), the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, Civil Defense, and Marcela Toledo, Secretary of the Environment of São João da Barra, as well as company clients, including Shell, Petrobras, Equinor, CNOOC, and Galp. Participation took place both remotely and in person at the T-Oil command posts in São João da Barra and at the headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The exercise also included a simulated beach cleanup, carried out with the support of 19 representatives from local fishing communities, trained by Vast as part of the Mar Atento project.
Vast’s performance in the drill demonstrates the company’s maturity in emergency preparedness and response, while reinforcing Safety as a non-negotiable value for us.

In November, Vast held the Integrated Compliance, Diversity & Inclusion Week together with the other Prumo Group companies.
The event’s theme was “Respect: our link between ethics and diversity,” and the highlight of the week was the keynote lecture on non-tolerated behaviors, featuring Dione Assis and Danielle Torres, MSc., moderated by Angela Serpa. The speakers discussed how inclusive policies and environments that value differences help strengthen organizational culture.
At Vast, the program also included a lecture on microaggressions, as well as initiatives to reinforce the Code of Conduct and the Reporting Channel.
The initiative reinforces the company’s commitment to ethics, integrity, and respect, contributing to the development of an increasingly diverse and inclusive work environment.
This year, Vast Infraestrutura joined the PorTodas program, created in 2024 by Porto do Açu Operações to provide professional qualification for women from communities surrounding the port.
Aiming to increase female participation in port operations at the complex, the initiative offers professional training in two stages: a theoretical stage, lasting two months at the Instituto Federal Fluminense (IFF) in São João da Barra, and a practical stage, allowing participants to work with partner companies through a selection process that considers both performance during the course and each candidate’s behavioral skills.
At the end of this year’s cycle, Vast Infraestrutura welcomed two trained professionals into the team, who are already working at the Açu Liquid Terminal (TLA) port operations. The other trained professionals are registered in our Talent Bank and will be considered for future selection processes, expanding opportunities for workforce inclusion.
Vast Infraestrutura has achieved the highest certification from the Ministry of Ports and Airports’ Sustainability Pact. The company was awarded the Diamond Seal during the COP 30 event on November 12.
This recognition reflects Vast’s maturity in sustainability and aligns with the company’s ambition to be a benchmark for sustainability and best practices in its sector.
Vast Infraestrutura thanks and congratulates all teams involved in this achievement.
From October 27 to 31, Vast Infraestrutura held its 2025 Internal Week for the Prevention of Port Work Accidents (SIPATP). This annual initiative is conducted in partnership with Otamerica, the company’s partner in the operation and maintenance of T-Oil, and aims to reinforce the importance of health, well-being, and safety in the workplace for employees of both companies as well as other contractors working with Vast.
Under the theme “Operational Discipline,” the event featured lectures on safety, accident prevention, and well-being; workplace exercise and massage sessions; interactive activities and quizzes with prizes; and videos submitted by employees and contractors showcasing examples of operational discipline in the daily routines at Vast’s offices and terminals.
At Vast Infraestrutura, Safety is a non-negotiable value.
In October, Vast Infraestrutura carried out its annual “Every Action Matters” campaign, aimed at encouraging sustainable and responsible practices for environmental preservation. This year’s theme was “Together for the efficient use of natural resources.”
Throughout the month, the initiative shared tips and guidance on everyday eco-efficiency, highlighted Vast’s ongoing sustainability actions, and hosted a discussion circle focused on the efficient use of natural resources and the adoption of sustainable lifestyles. To close the campaign, Vast organized a photo contest that awarded employees and contractors whose pictures best represented sustainable and eco-efficient practices in both their professional and personal lives.
TLA took center stage at Oceans of Opportunity, an event organized by Prumo that brought together global leaders and experts to discuss zero-emission fuels and the future of maritime decarbonization.
During the event, Vast Infraestrutura’s terminal was presented as a key driver of maritime sector decarbonization at both the Port of Açu and in Brazil. Its strategic role will be crucial for handling the future fuels expected from the Port’s hydrogen hub project. The TLA’s infrastructure will ensure competitive logistics for distributing products such as SAF, green ammonia, and e-methanol.
The TLA’s benefits extend beyond the Açu industrial complex. With the new terminal, Vast aims to meet Brazil’s growing demand for infrastructure capable of handling a wide variety of liquid products. The terminal is licensed for a total storage capacity of 108,000 m³, covering petroleum derivatives, chemicals, and biofuels.
The first phase of the terminal’s tank farm is already under construction and will include 11 tanks with a total capacity of 38,600 m³. Operations at the TLA are expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
