RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Brazilian state-run
oil company Petrobras has been using ships to move
oil to the Santos port as its OSBAT pipeline was halted for
inspections after heavy rains hit southeastern Brazil, two
sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, is
also supplying its Cubatao refinery with oil coming from ships
in order to avoid supply issues following the downpours, which
cause floods and landslides that left dozens dead, the sources
added.
