In Meeting With The City Mayor, Aker Solutions Announces Installation of a Center of Excellence for Construction and Assembly

Aker Solutions has just boosted Macaé’s morale in such a way that no one would have imagined this great surprise. Company representatives in a meeting with the city mayor, Dr. Aluízio, on Thursday (17), were finalizing the terms for the installation of a construction and assembly factory. This is due to the fact that Macaé is strategically located in the logistical and economic hub of Norwegian activities in the Campos Basin, as the city already has all the offshore sector infrastructure ready.

From the perspective and judgment of the mayor, this new venture by Aker will generate around a thousand jobs, in addition to generating taxes for the city that could amount to over 24 million. According to Aker Solutions, demanding projects are in full expansion until the year 2021, which include offshore units from Petrobras, Chevron, and Statoil. These three companies will require services in the Campos Basin and Santos.

Mayor and Aker gathered on the 17th to discuss the implementation of the Center of Excellence project

The last four years have not been good for the city due to the economic recession that hit it, along with many other cities that rely heavily on the oil industry for their revenues. However, some recent events have been revitalizing the city; check out some of them:

  1. Oil and Gas Companies That Have Been Hiring Since April
  2. Consultancy Ranked Macaé Among The Best Cities for Business
  3. Expropriation of An Area of The City for Road Works of The Porto do Barreto
  4. Macaé Airport Has Works Approved to Receive Commercial Flights From All Over Brazil
  5. Decommissioning Market That Is Revitalizing The City.
