Petrobras Restarts VLSFO Bunker Supplies at Port of Itaqui
Petrobras has resumed VLSFO bunker deliveries at Brazil's Port of Itaqui following deferred pipeline maintenance, while LSMGO sales remain suspended.
Brazilian energy producer Petrobras has restarted very low sulphur fuel oil bunker sales at the Port of Itaqui. The resumption comes after the company decided to postpone planned maintenance work on its VLSFO pipeline infrastructure.
A customer advisory indicated that Petrobras has not yet released an updated schedule for the delayed VLSFO pipeline servicing.
Bunkering operations for low sulphur marine gasoil at the Brazilian port remain halted. LSMGO pipeline maintenance is still in progress, leaving supplies suspended until at least 9 November.
