Bunker One bunkers LatAm’s first ethanol bunkering at Port of Santos

October 26, 2026 |

In Brazil, Bunker One has completed Latin America’s first bioethanol bunkering operation for an ocean-going vessel, delivering 500,000 liters of anhydrous ethanol to the CMA CGM IRON at the Port of Santos, Brazil.

The fuel was supplied by Copersucar, one of the world’s leading sugar and bioethanol companies, for delivery to CMA CGM IRON, CMA CGM’s first 13,000 TEU container vessel equipped with a certified tri-fuel engine capable of operating on bioethanol. Bunker One executed the bunkering operation using its barge DONA ISA. The operation is believed to be the first bioethanol bunkering of a deep-sea container vessel in the region, moving bioethanol from a concept into a commercially executed marine fuel solution.
