Brazilian energy firm Raízen has confirmed it will ‘stop commercialising bunker fuel’ at ports Rio Grande, Salvador, and Itaqui in Brazil, when contacted by Manifold Times.
The company declined to comment further on the matter.
S&P Global Commodity Insights reported that the company confirmed fuel deliveries at these locations will stop after 31 March.
According to a statement seen by Platts, Raízen said the supply of low sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO) will continue at Rio de Janeiro.
Last year, Manifold Times reported the company launching its bunkering operation in Itaqui at the Outer Anchorage Area. It has been providing local supplies for the grades VLSFO380 (max. 0.5%S) and LSMGO DMA (max. 0.1%S).
In 2022, Raízen commenced its bunkering operation in Salvador/Aratu, northeast Brazil. It has been supplying VLSFO and MGO DMA by bunker barge at the inner roads and at berth.
