Seachios® Secures Second Consecutive Contract with VLI Logística for Ship Loader Cleaning at Port of Itaqui

For the second time in a row, Seachios® Marine Services has been awarded a contract through a competitive bidding process by VLI Logística—a leading logistics company originally established by Vale S.A. to manage integrated railway, terminal, and port operations across Brazil. This latest contract underscores Seachios’ expertise in maritime cleaning operations and its commitment to environmental stewardship.

The scope of work involves the comprehensive cleaning of the ship loader at berth 105 of the Port of Itaqui. To ensure smooth execution and regulatory compliance, our Chief Commercial Officer, Philipp Alves, engaged directly with EMAP, the port authority overseeing operations at the Port of Itaqui. During this meeting, Philipp emphasized the critical importance of maintaining the ship loader to optimize operational efficiency while prioritizing environmental conservation in the surrounding area.

Following a thorough evaluation and approval by the port authority, the cleaning operations commenced on January 22, 2025, with an expected completion date of February 6, 2025.

The cleaning process utilizes high-pressure hydroblasting to remove accumulated debris and contaminants, combined with the safe extraction and disposal of both liquid and solid residues. Additionally, stringent environmental protection measures are implemented throughout the operation to prevent any adverse impact on the port ecosystem.

Seachios® Marine Services adheres to the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental compliance, ensuring full alignment with federal regulations and accreditation by EMAP. Our dedication to operational excellence and sustainable practices reinforces our position as a trusted partner in the maritime industry.

Stay tuned for further updates on the successful execution of this project and our continued commitment to safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible maritime operations.
