Petrobras has resumed VLSFO bunker sales at the Port of Itaqui after postponing planned maintenance on VLSFO pipelines, according to a customer update.

The company did not provide a revised timeline for the maintenance.

Meanwhile, maintenance on the LSMGO pipelines is proceeding as previously planned from 29 July to 9 November, for approximately 103 days. LSMGO bunker sales will remain suspended throughout the period.

The latest update comes after Petrobras had initially scheduled the bunker pipeline maintenance for VLSFO to run from 18 August to 7 September.
