Letter Delivered to Bolsonaro Citing the Recovery of Jobs in Shipbuilding and Oil and Gas in Rio de Janeiro

During the meeting of the Movimento Rio Produtivo, a letter was delivered by President Angela Costa – ACRJ (Commercial Association of RJ) to the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro. This letter cites the diagnosis of the shipbuilding, oil, and gas industry in the state of Rio de Janeiro, pointing out paths so that, in a short period, it may be possible to generate thousands of jobs.

The letter states that it is known that the state of Rio de Janeiro still has the largest hub of shipbuilding and offshore repair facilities in Brazil, and it has ideal conditions to establish the largest park of this offshore frontier, carrying out platform decommissioning and dismantling its structures.

It was also mentioned in the letter that besides the industrial facilities for shipbuilding available in the state, Rio de Janeiro has geographical proximity, since a large part of the platforms are in the Campos Basin. The proximity between the state’s coast and the pre-salt region is also a relevant geographical point, placing it in ideal conditions to host support bases and provide necessary support to oil and gas companies and/or offshore support operators.

Job Creation in the State with the Resumption of Investments in Shipbuilding and Oil and Gas

It was emphasized that in Rio de Janeiro there are companies in regular financial and operational conditions, alongside other companies in judicial recovery or in the process of bankruptcy, as the crisis has affected and still affects the market as a whole.

In the pursuit of creating new jobs in Rio de Janeiro, the reactivation of the shipbuilding sector could close this year of 2021 and open 2022 with a large number of job openings, between 12,000 and 15,000 people, composed of workers, technicians, engineers, economists, accountants, and more, concluded the letter.

The Special Commission for Naval and Offshore Industry of the State Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj), chaired by Deputy Célia Jordão, was excited about the job creation expectations with the construction of frigates and patrol boats for the Navy in the state shipyards. This possibility was discussed during a technical visit to Emgepron and the Naval Technological Cluster.

Representatives of the public company of Rio de Janeiro, which manages shipbuilding projects, informed that the Navy requires 12 frigates. Of these, four are already under construction in the state of Santa Catarina, with up to 40% local content hiring. The remaining works could be brought to Rio de Janeiro, with job generation potential in the state.
