Representatives from Ultracargo, a subsidiary of the Ultra Group, presented an expansion plan for their unit located in the Suape Industrial Port Complex. The expansion of the storage terminal within the port’s designated zone represents an investment of approximately BRL 155 million. Construction is expected to begin in 2025, with operations at the new facilities set to start in 2028. The expansion plan includes the construction of four additional tanks, that will increase the storage capacity of gasoline, anhydrous, and hydrous ethanol. Currently, the facility has a total storage capacity of 157,910 m³, of which 152,910 m³ are allocated to liquid bulk, distributed across 39 tanks. There is also a 5,000 m³ sphere dedicated to storing butadiene—an industrial chemical used as a monomer in the production of synthetic rubber.
