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 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.
