Giant Credit Boosts Naval Sector With New Tugs from Wilson Sons and Modernization of the National Fleet

The BNDES took a bold and strategic step by approving colossal financing of R$ 385 million, aimed at the modernization and construction of the tugs from Wilson Sons. With such a significant volume of resources, what’s at stake is not only fleet renewal but the future of Brazilian maritime transport. Are we on the brink of a revolution in the country’s naval logistics?

The numbers are impressive: of the total, R$ 236 million will be allocated to maintenance and repair of 33 tugs from Wilson Sons, while R$ 149 million will finance the construction of three new vessels. The Merchant Marine Fund, operated by BNDES, is the primary source of these resources, which cover 90% of the necessary investments.

Modernization of Tugs from Wilson Sons

The maintenance will be carried out at Wilson Sons’ own shipyard in Guarujá (SP), with the option to use other national shipyards. The goal is clear: restore the operational capacity and safety of the vessels, in addition to modernizing essential systems to improve operational efficiency.
