Brazilian miner Vale teams up with Wilson Sons in fuel reduction initiative
Brazilian mining firm Vale signed a maintenance contract with local port and maritime logistics operator Wilson Sons for seven vessels.
The partnership will lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of 67%, Vale said in a statement.
During the five-year contract the miner will be able to dock the vessels at Wilson Sons’ shipyard in the Santos port, in Guarujá. Scheduled maintenance will be carried out on five tugboats and two of the mining company's own ferryboats, which operate in Rio de Janeiro.
Among the services that will be carried out on Vale's tug and ferryboats are treatment and painting of hulls and tanks, tank cleaning, structural repairs, disassembly and valve testing.
Mining companies in Brazil are currently expanding their investments to reduce greenhouse emissions and also investments in a wide range of sustainability-related initiatives.
These companies are expected to invest US$10.7 billion during 2024-28 in socio-environmental initiatives, up from US$6.55bn in 2023-27, according to Brazilian mining association Ibram.
