Jurong Shipyard Won the Bid to Build the Navy Ship

The information that the Jurong Shipyard Aracruz, in the state of Espírito Santo, had won the bid for the construction of a new vessel for the Armed Forces was confirmed by the commander of the Brazilian Navy, Admiral Almir Garnier Santos, who announced it yesterday aboard the Multipurpose Aircraft Carrier Atlântico, in the presence of President Jair Bolsonaro.

Regarding the number of jobs, it was informed by the Naval Projects Management Company (Emgepron), a federal state entity in the naval sector. The Jurong Shipyard Aracruz was the winner of the bid, surpassing the finalists Kership S.A.S and Damen Shipyards/Wilson Sons Shipyards. The NApAnt is expected to have capacity for 102 crew members and will be built to replace and perform the same missions as the Oceanographic Support Ship (NApOc) Ary Rongel, with enhanced capabilities based on the Navy’s experience in the Brazilian Antarctic Program (Proantar) and the requirements for supporting the new Antarctic Station Comandante Ferraz.

Creation of New Jobs for the Region

Erick Musso, president of the Legislative Assembly of Espírito Santo (Ales), celebrated on social media the victory of the Jurong Shipyard Aracruz (EJA) in the bid for the construction of the Antarctic Support Ship (NAPANT). The executive emphasizes that it is positive news that will boost the economy of Espírito Santo through job and income generation.

The number of jobs was informed by the Naval Projects Management Company (Emgepron), a federal state entity in the naval sector. The Jurong Shipyard Aracruz was the winner of the bid, surpassing the finalists Kership S.A.S and Damen Shipyards/Wilson Sons Shipyards. “It opens a different market for Jurong, which was more focused on offshore platforms and oil and gas vessels. This shows the state’s potential for this new type of market,” comments business consultant Durval de Freitas.

The job openings for the construction of the Navy ship at the Jurong Shipyard will be filled directly by Jurong and through subcontractors via local Sines. The Navy expects that the new ship will be completed by 2025.

The Commander of the Navy, Admiral Almir Garnier Santos, visited the facilities of the Brasil Sul Shipyard – ThyssenKrupp in Itajaí, in the state of Santa Catarina, where the Navy’s “Tamandaré” class ships will start construction in 2022.

The Brasil Sul Shipyard – the new name for the Oceana shipyard in Itajaí, which was acquired by the German company Thyssemkrupp – is undergoing a revolution. The structure is being renovated to accommodate the construction of four ships ordered by the Brazilian Navy, a R$ 9 billion project. The first vessel is set to begin construction soon. Steel plates will start being cut in April of next year. The expectation is that the construction of the ships will generate 2,000 direct jobs at the peak of construction and up to 6,000 indirect jobs. For now, there haven’t been any job openings for the production line – but it is common for people to approach the shipyard to leave their resumes.
