Petrobras may buy ethanol tankers from Sermetal shipyard

As Brazil steps up its ethanol output and is becoming a global supplier of biofuels, it needs investments in infrastructures to create a smooth logistical chain. A network of dedicated ethanol pipelines is already under construction and now Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil’s state-controlled oil company, says it may purchase tankers from Brazilian shipyards to export ethanol as the company moves to quadruple foreign sales of the biofuel.
