For the second time this semester, Cattalini Terminais Marítimos received more than 16,000 tons of heated oils in a single operation. The unloading of 16,300 tons of the product from the tanker MTM New York began on June 15, at the company’s private pier. In January, the terminal had already received 16,600 tons of heated oil from the tanker MTM Houston. According to Cattalini, average imports range from 6,000 to 10,000 tons as a result of a customer’s commercial and logistics decision, but the company is prepared for higher volumes.

“As a port terminal, Cattalini has a diversified structure that is ready to meet the needs of customers and each product, according to its peculiarity and handling characteristics. To meet the characteristics of the product that arrived this week, we have an isolation thermal and heating system from the pier to the tanks, which guarantees quality and safety throughout the entire process, from receipt to dispatch,” said Lucas Guzen, from Cattalini’s commercial area.

The imported product is being directed to 6 tanks at the Tank Center 2 (CT2), of Cattalini Terminais Marítimos, where there is an exclusive structure for this type of product. In the coming days, the goods will be transported by tanker trucks.

Between January and the first half of June, around 98,000 tons of heated oils were discharged into CT2, representing an increase of 368% compared to the same period last year. “This significant increase in the movement of heated oils is mainly linked to the operational efficiency of Cattalini Terminais Marítimos and Portos do Paraná”, evaluated Guzen.
