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.

This week, on September 9, 10, and 11, Vast Infraestrutura will take part in Rio Pipeline & Logistics 2025.

In addition to the participation of its executives as speakers at the Congress and the Logistics Arena, the company will also present four articles developed by its teams.

The topics covered include studies on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, innovation, emergency response, and the Aves do Açu project, reinforcing Vast’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and social and environmental responsibility.

Check out the details of each presentation below:

• September 9 (Tuesday), 3:20 p.m | Managing the reproduction of endangered seabird species in a fully operational port terminal. Participation: Leonardo Santarrosa, Environmental Manager of Vast Infraestrutura.
• September 10 (Wednesday), 10:10 a.m. | Comparative Study of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Participation: Camila Sabadin, Environmental Specialist of Vast Infraestrutura.
• September 10 (Wednesday), 11:00 a.m.| Assessment of Oil Spill Response Capabilities in a Multifaceted Port Environment – A Blueprint for Excellence. Participation: Bruno Ramos, SMS Manager of Vast Infraestrutura.

Vast Infraestrutura has just reached a new record for operations carried out in a single month at T-Oil: in August, the company completed 28 oil transshipment services at the terminal. The previous record was 23 operations, set in July 2023.

With this record, Vast handled 903,000 barrels per day during the month.

This milestone reinforces the market’s confidence in the company’s services and is a testament to the dedicated people who make things happen, always with excellence, safety, sustainability and integrity.

Vast continues to open new horizons for energy.

The TLA has been operating since October 2024 under the management of Vast Infraestrutura, providing port support services as well as the transshipment and supply of marine gas oil (MGO) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

With the construction of the tank farm and the start of tank operations, scheduled for the last quarter of 2026, the TLA will be able to handle and store other petroleum-derived products, such as marine fuels (Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil – VLSFO), lubricants, light fuels, as well as chemicals and biofuels.

In this first phase, an investment of approximately R$250 million will enable storage capacity of around 40,000 m³.

The TLA arrives to expand Brazil’s infrastructure for liquid handling and reinforces Vast’s strategic role in the market.

Organized by the Brazilian Petroleum and Gas Institute, the event is one of the main international gatherings in the pipeline and logistics sector and will take place at ExpoRio, in Rio de Janeiro, on September 9, 10, and 11.

On this occasion, Vast’s CEO, Victor Snabaitis Bomfim, Commercial Director, Eduardo Pereira Goulart, and Sustainability Director, Adriano Truffi Lima, will be speakers at the Congress and the Logistics Arena, of which the company is a sponsor.

Vast Infraestrutura now has a social development policy to encourage initiatives that promote well-being and sustainable development in the company’s area of operation.

The policy sets criteria for the projects to be supported, ensuring they are aligned with Vast’s values and its commitment to caring for the environment and the communities within the company’s area of influence.

Three projects have already been selected: “Conectados do Bem”, “Partiu Trabalho!”, and “Esporte para Todos”. These initiatives are aimed at children and young people between the ages of 6 and 18 in the municipalities of São João da Barra and Campos dos Goytacazes. They promote technological education, sports training, performing arts fundamentals and social entrepreneurship to foster the physical, intellectual, and behavioral development of these young people, also supporting their entry into the job market.

The new contract ensures greater flexibility and predictability for the client’s operations at T-Oil.

The expansion of the partnership strengthens market confidence in Vast and its important role in oil logistics in Brazil.

Vast continues to open horizons for energy.

The certification attests to the verification of Vast’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory in three scopes: the company’s direct emissions (Scope 1), purchased and consumed energy (Scope 2), and indirect emissions, those not emitted directly by the company but involved in our operations (Scope 3).

The monitoring of emissions, as well as the preparation and submission of the GHG inventory, are aligned with the first pillar of Vast’s Decarbonization Plan, “Emissions Management.”

This achievement consolidates the maturity on the subject and reinforces Vast’s commitment towards a lower-carbon world.

Vast continues to open ever more sustainable horizons for energy!

One of T-Oil’s key differentiators is its lower carbon footprint: it emits 3x less CO₂e during operations.

This data comes from a study conducted by Vast in partnership with Bureau Veritas, which shows that emissions during transshipment operations at the terminal are just 1/3 of those released in open sea operations (underway model). This is because, at T-Oil, vessels remain moored, consuming less fuel.
