Transpetro Revolutionizes The Brazilian Shipbuilding Industry With Bidding For Four Ships In May And Much More During
A Transpetro, a transportation and logistics subsidiary of Petrobras, is planning to launch a bidding process by May for the contracting of four large vessels. These ships will be fully built in Brazil, representing a significant boost for the national shipbuilding industry. The announcement was made by the company’s CEO, Sérgio Bacci, during an event in Rio de Janeiro according to portosenavios.
Transpetro is determined to strengthen its own fleet and meet the demands of Petrobras. With the imminent launch of the bidding process, the company aims to boost the Brazilian shipbuilding industry, creating opportunities for local shipyards and generating jobs.
National Construction And Cost Reduction
Transpetro is committed to supporting the recovery of the sector by investing in accessible credit lines and workforce retraining. Thus, this initiative contributes to the local economy and helps to reduce chartering costs.

Additionally, Transpetro seeks to expand its horizons beyond Brazilian borders, as the company is negotiating a memorandum of understanding with Suriname’s National Energy, Oil and Gas Company (Staatsolie), aiming for business opportunities in Suriname and other countries. Transpetro’s expertise in logistics makes it an important player in the search for new clients and international partnerships.
With this initiative, Transpetro is positioned to lead the transformation of the Brazilian shipbuilding industry, driving economic growth and innovation, so get ready for a new era of navigation with Transpetro!
Last Thursday, during an event by the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP), the president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, shared ideas with the government to stimulate the shipbuilding sector and it was soon announced that a new government program to incentivize the industry, broader and more sophisticated, will be launched by the end of the first semester.

Furthermore, Petrobras plans to contract 38 offshore support vessels in the coming years, representing an investment of US$ 2.5 billion and the possibility of creating 28 thousand direct jobs.
For this year, we have bidding processes planned for 31 vessels, while the others are scheduled for 2025.

Esperamos que o estaleiro de Rio Grande, ,RS, seja reativado, para proporcionar novamente empregos na nossa região.
Independente de roubos ou desvios de dinheiro na era do PT ( LuLa) eu era mais feliz do que 4 anos de Bolsonaro que não fez nada.
