” Aker Solutions is bringing its services division to Macaé to meet the maintenance needs of platforms with Petrobras contracts, in the Campos Basin and in the Santos pre-salt. In terms of jobs and values, Adami reveals that there is already a signed contract that will represent approximately 200 jobs in the coming weeks, and over the years, the goal is to reach 1,000 direct positions at its Macaé branch, clearly following the growth of the industry, which could exponentially be much larger than that.

When asked by journalists when this project will move forward, he replies with a strong ” THIS STARTS NOW”, since the first contract has already been signed with the state-owned company and there is an expectation of more contracts in the coming months for other operators in the field. With the environmental license in hand, which was quickly obtained through a joint effort between the city hall and the Department of Environment, Aker will effectively begin its operations, turning the world’s eyes and offshore activities towards Macaé.”
