With the growth of oil production and exports in Brazil, there is an increasing need to expand the logistics infrastructure to support this demand. In this context, Espírito Santo is preparing to receive a new and modern oil and derivatives terminal: the Praia Mole Liquid Bulk Terminal (TGL), to be operated by Blue Terminals, a company of the Zmax Group. The facility will focus on ship-to-ship oil transfer operations at the Praia Mole Port in Vitória. The terminal will enable operations between large vessels while maintaining current operations at the Tubarão and Praia Mole ports. With an estimated investment of BRL 340 million, the terminal will be equipped to handle up to 14 million tons of oil per year – the equivalent of approximately 100 million barrels.
