1st HVO refueling in the Brazilian maritime sector
Vast Infraestrutura achieved a major milestone in the Brazilian maritime sector: the 1st refueling with HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) in the country’s maritime industry.
Carried out at Vast’s Açu Liquid Terminal (TLA), in partnership with Wilson Sons, efen, and Port of Açu, the pioneering operation supplied the tugboat WS Rosalvo, a vessel in the Wilson Sons fleet that operates at Port of Açu.
Known as green diesel, HVO has the potential to reduce the vessel’s carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by up to 80%, representing a key step toward the sector’s decarbonization.
