Enseada Shipyard in Bahia Resumes Operations as a Port Terminal; 44,000 Tons of Iron Ore to Be Exported to China This Month
Bahia – Last Friday, July 31, 2020, will go down in history for the Ensaada Shipyard’s modern naval, port, and industrial complex in Maragojip. The terminal began its first iron ore export operation. The shipyard has already been contracted to build two container ships, which are expected to generate 750 jobs.

With this, the Enseada Shipyard starts operations at the terminal specialized in ore exports and begins the company’s logistical operations, which will constitute one of the main pillars of its economic recovery.
The other pillars are shipbuilding, which already has contracted projects, and the industrial area. The logistics operation also includes the export of iron ore from Bamin, a company with which the Shipyard is already negotiating a contract to become the exporting terminal.
The resumption of operations at the Shipyard was supported by the State government. According to Infrastructure Secretary Marcus Cavalcanti, the government facilitated efforts to resume investments in a region that was economically harmed after the closure of the shipyard, which had employed over 7,000 people and generated a range of activities in the area.
“It is very important for Bahia that the Enseada Shipyard begins to operate as a port terminal, becoming another alternative for the export of ores, an area in which Bahia has enormous potential. Moreover, the resumption of operations was a goal of the State government to restore business in an area that was economically suffering due to the stoppage of some company projects,” said the Secretary.
In early July, the naval company Petrocity Portos S.A. announced that it has partnered with the Enseada Shipyard for the construction of two container ships, with financing of 340 million approved by the National Fund for Merchant Marine.
Paralyzed by project cancellations and under judicial recovery since October 2019, the shipyard is now gaining momentum with the construction of these two ships, which will be used for cabotage transport in 2021.
