BNDES Announced Investment of R$ 2 Billion to Boost the Brazilian Naval Industry, Focusing on Shipbuilding, Decarbonization of the Fleet, and Development of Marine Spatial Planning.

In a ceremony aboard the H-39 ship of the Navy in Rio de Janeiro, the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) unveiled an ambitious initiative to promote the naval industry in Brazil. Aloizio Mercadante, the bank’s president, announced last Wednesday (01/24) that an investment of R$ 2 billion is planned for shipbuilding through the Merchant Marine Fund (FMM).

How BNDES Will Support the Brazilian Naval Industry

The new action fronts, integrated into the BNDES Azul program, aim to promote the sustainable economic development of the ocean.

Among the announced measures are the development of Marine Spatial Planning (PEM), resources for innovation and decarbonization of the naval fleet, incentives for port infrastructure, and support for water resources.

Decarbonization of the Naval Fleet: BNDES Incentives for the Use of Renewable Fuels

Regarding the decarbonization of the naval fleet, BNDES has established incentive policies for the use of renewable fuels.

Projects that demonstrate clean initiatives may benefit from a reduction of up to 0.4 percentage points in the interest rate.

Mercadante emphasized that these initiatives are aligned with international trends in the sector, warning of fines expected by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) starting in 2030 for vessels without sustainable fuel.

Additionally, BNDES also announced port investments, providing financing lines of support to the R$ 45 billion allocated by the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) for the sector, covering leases and Private Use Terminals.

The state bank indicated the possibility of establishing partnerships with private sector entities and conducting operations in the capital market.

This announcement comes amid the “New Industry Brazil,” a R$ 300 billion package announced by the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to boost the national industry.

With BNDES contributing R$ 250 billion, the proposal highlights the return of the State as the main driver of national development, including tax incentives and financing through state-owned companies.

Finep (Financier of Studies and Projects) and Embrapii (Brazilian Company of Research and Industrial Innovation) complete the financing.

Decarbonization of the Naval Fleet: BNDES Incentives for the Use of Renewable Fuels

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Scientists discover how the mosquito uses a natural “GPS” to find humans and reveal why the head and breath become targets in the attack.
