The resumption of the shipyard for works in shipbuilding will contribute to generate cash and ensure compliance with the EAS judicial recovery plan.

The last delivery of the shipyard took place in June 2019, ending the contract with Transpetro.

“Participating in the resumption of this Giant that is the Atlântico Sul Shipyard and being able to see several collaborators together with us again, is something beyond reason….it is Exciting. Congratulations to the entire EAS team for this achievement and many thanks to each one of you for your support.
Many thanks to God for the Health and Energy that made us get here!
Let's go ahead, all together, to exceed our Client's expectations! Together we are bigger than our challenges! Always forward !" celebrates Leo Delarole, Director of the EAS shipyard, on his social profile.

The Suape giant starts to get up. And under the command of a woman, Nicole Terpins, the first at the head of her direction. Nicole is an executive with more than 15 years of experience in the industry and started her career at EAS in 2014 as Legal Director. She assumed the presidency in August 2019, after the delivery of the last order, with the mission of leading the restructuring. Master in commercial law from USP and specialist in advanced negotiations from the Harvard Institute of Negotiation, she worked in the area of ​​mergers, acquisitions and restructuring of companies in Brazil and abroad.

For Nicole, shipowners are starting to see repair alternatives in Brazil. Strategy, according to her, is to merge repairs with other activities such as construction and dismantling, keeping an eye out for other opportunities, such as Navy projects.

“Shipowners are starting to see repair alternatives in Brazil. Other shipyards that were focused on shipbuilding began to enter this market. And I believe that this tends to change the trend that shipowners had to take vessels abroad”, commented Nicole, last Monday (26), during the 28th International Congress of Waterway Transport, Shipbuilding and Offshore of the Brazilian Society of Naval Engineering (Sobena).

According to the executive, the shipyard Estaleiro de Construção Naval Atlântico Sul, in Pernambuco, won two contracts for repair works. A flow is a subsidiary of the Norwegian group Odfjell.

There will be 60 days of intense work to complete repairs to the Bow Atlantic, which arrived at EAS on the 21st, and the Flumar Brasil, which arrived at EAS on Tuesday (27/10).

These contracts will generate 200 temporary jobs, but the prospects are good. There are few repair stations in Brazil, which generates demand for this type of service in the domestic market. “We want to become a reference in ship repair. And our dyke, which is one of the largest in Brazil, has greater lifting capacity and can accommodate large vessels”, says the president of EAS.
