The construction of the storage tank park at the Açu Liquids Terminal (TLA) is underway, and beyond handling liquids, the project is already driving local employment.
Aligned with Vast Infraestrutura’s commitment to the communities within its area of influence, the company is dedicated to fostering local workforce development. As a result, 77% of all hires for the TLA construction, carried out by MID Niplan, a company contracted by Vast to manage the project, are local professionals.

The Cinematheque aims to create a lasting legacy for the school, located within Vast’s area of influence, by promoting greater access for children to cultural productions.

In September, Vast Infraestrutura held its annual Maintenance Committee for the Contractors’ Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Recognition Program, an event aimed at strengthening the company’s safety culture, sharing results, and encouraging collective learning between Vast and its contractors.
During the meeting, participants discussed plans to improve practices focused on employee protection and well-being, as well as concepts of psychological safety and the role of leadership in building safer work environments.
The event is part of the program’s ongoing monitoring, which tracks contractors’ practices throughout the year and rewards the three companies with the best Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management at the beginning of the following year.
Vast thanks all participating partners for their commitment and engagement.
Last week, Vast Infraestrutura took part in Rio Pipeline & Logistics 2025, one of the leading international events in the pipeline and logistics sector. During the conference, the company’s CEO, Victor Snabaitis Bomfim, one of the Congress speakers, gave an interview to André Ramalho from Agência Eixos, where he discussed the transformations needed in port logistics to enable the energy transition.
In his remarks, Victor highlighted some of Vast’s key initiatives in this area, such as conducting transshipment operations in sheltered waters, which emit three times less CO2e compared to open-sea (underway) operations; providing Onshore Power Supply (OPS) for tugboats and support vessels at T-Oil; the agreement with the Port of Rotterdam to promote large-scale electrification of tankers at berth; as well as green diesel testing and investments in biocomponents and biofuels at TLA, reinforcing the company’s strategic role as a driver of decarbonization in the maritime sector.

On Monday, September 8, Vast Infraestrutura and OceanPact carried out an HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) bunkering operation at TLA. The initiative is part of the partnership established in May between the companies to promote the use of biofuels at the Porto do Açu.
The agreement provides for HVO refueling operations of OceanPact vessels operating on behalf of Vast at T-Oil, in order to test the feasibility of using the biofuel. The refueling operations will take place at TLA, and the studies will assess the impact of partially or fully replacing fossil fuels with biofuels and calculate the emissions avoided.
The signed agreement reinforces Vast and TLA’s strategic position in the decarbonization of the maritime sector.
Vast Infraestrutura continues to open increasingly sustainable horizons for energy.
