First 13,000 TEU tri-fuel containership bunkered with ethanol in Brazil
This pioneering operation represents a major milestone for the decarbonization of maritime transport, positions Brazil among the countries capable of carrying out this type of bunkering operation, and reinforces bioethanol as a readily available solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector.
The bunkering required logistical and operational coordination among multiple stakeholders across the value chain, involving the transport of bioethanol to the Port of Santos, its storage in dedicated infrastructure, and its transfer to the vessel via a specialized barge, using the highest international standards of safety and efficiency.
