Porto Engenheiro Zephyrino Lavenère Machado Filho – Macaé Port

Porto Engenheiro Zephyrino Lavenère Machado Filho is the only port owned by Petrobras to service the logistics supporting routine and specialized projects for anchoring platforms across the company.

Historic

In 2012, due to the 35th anniversary of production in the Campos Basin, Petrobras honored Engineer Zephyrino Lavenère Machado Filho, who died that year, by baptizing the former Imbetiba Port as “Porto Engenheiro Zephyrino Lavenère Machado Filho”.
 

The engineer coordinated the team that first extracted commercial oil from the Campos Basin and was an active participant in the evolution and development of submarine engineering, which made it possible to extract oil from deep waters.
 

Built at the end of the 1970s, until 2018, the port carried out logistics supply operations to meet the demands of general cargo, diesel, water, liquid and solid bulk, of the Exploration and Production Units operating in the Campos Basin. In 2016, in compliance with the new legislation, we signed a TUP (Private Use Terminal) Joinder Agreement with ANTAQ, No. 111/2016, in force until the present date.

As of 2018, with the transfer of demands from the Exploration and Production Units of the Campos and Espírito Santo Basin to the Açu Port, as it has better logistics, Petrobras started several infrastructure works at BMAC, such as deepening the maritime access channels, adjustments to the mooring structures, among others, so as to transform it into a special operations port, with the purpose of meeting the demands of the Anchoring Submarine Engineering, in addition to other special services such as Ocean Terminals Operation (OPTO).
 

A new port operator was also contracted, with characteristics that are better suited to meet the anchoring demands, which moves torpedoes up to 120 tons and anchoring chains that are even larger. As of January 2021, the anchoring operations were fully transferred to BMAC.
 

Porto Engenheiro Zephyrino Lavanère Machado Filho is located in the municipality of Macaé, 182 km from the capital, in the Northern shore of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The area borders the cities of Quissamã, Carapebus and Conceição de Macabu, in the North; Rio das Ostras and Casimiro de Abreu, in the South; Trajano de Moraes and Nova Friburgo, West; and the Atlantic Ocean, East.

Origin

Imbetiba Terminal

The use of the Imbetiba cove to move cargo dates back to 1872, same period in which the construction of the Campos-Macaé channel started. At that time, the site was an alternative to the distribution of the agricultural production of the region, which was previously and exclusively done through São João da Barra. At the start of the 20th Century, with the conclusion of the railway, which connected Macaé to the city of Niterói, the port, which was in its prime at the end of the previous century, started to decline and stopped being the center of the local economy.

Mid-1970s, with the discovery of oil and gas reserves in the Campos Basin, Petrobras saw the port’s potential for the company operations in the region and acquired the area. At the end of the 1970s, the construction started for what would become the Imbetiba Basis and its maritime terminal.
