Petrobras has announced a new pricing structure for marine fuel deliveries at the Port of Santos, offering progressive discounts for volumes exceeding 1,500 tonnes per batch, effective July 10.

The Brazilian oil company said the pricing policy applies to deliveries of up to 3,000 tonnes in a single batch, with the first 1,500 tonnes billed at standard rates and excess volumes receiving special pricing.

According to the announcement, the initiative aims to encourage larger-scale operations and optimize logistics costs for customers operating at Brazil's busiest port.

"This initiative is designed to encourage larger-scale operations, optimize logistics costs, and add value to your fueling experience with Petrobras," the company stated in a communication to clients.

The new commercial terms also extend to existing nominations that have not yet been delivered, with Petrobras indicating it will evaluate requests to increase contracted volumes subject to availability, allowing customers to benefit from the special pricing on additional quantities.

Petrobras said the policy is intended to enhance the competitiveness of operations at Santos, which handles a significant amount of Brazil's container traffic and serves as a key bunkering hub for vessels operating along the South American coast.

The announcement was made through the company's bunkering division on July 8, with implementation beginning two days later.

Details of the specific discount rates were not disclosed in the announcement, with Petrobras directing customers to contact its commercial team for further information regarding the new pricing structure.
