On The Last Day 21, During The Audience Of Alerj, Sinaval Emphasized That Brazilian Shipbuilding May Come Back To Grow With The Increase Of Local Contracting

During a public hearing of the Navy Industry Commission of the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj), Sinaval (National Union of the Shipbuilding Industry) presented suggestions for the Brazilian shipbuilding sector to come back to growth. The union proposed the following parameters: drafting a state policy for the sector; resuming local content with an index greater than 25% – with an intermediate proposal of at least 40%; in addition to better interest rates and terms.

Increase Of Local Labor In Shipbuilding In Brazil

Sérgio Bacci, Vice President Of The National Union Of The Shipbuilding Industry (Sinaval), Says That With Only 25% Local Content (Contracting Of Suppliers), The Construction Of Platforms By Petrobras Was Reduced To A Few Modules And Shipyards Began To Face Difficulties. Consequently, They Experienced A Significant Reduction In Job Vacancies.

The Chairwoman Of The Commission, Deputy Célia Jordão (Patriota), Emphasized During The Alerj Hearing That The Shipbuilding Works Of Petrobras, For The Most Part, Have Been Directed To Korean And Chinese Shipyards, And A Very Small Portion Of The Construction Is Left For Brazil, Which Generated A Large Number Of Unemployed Individuals.

Other Proposals To Restart The Growth Of Shipbuilding

Another Suggestion From Sinaval Is That The Federal Government Allocate 10% Of The Merchant Marine Fund To The Shipbuilding Of Patrol Boats. The Construction Of Frigates For The Ministry Of The Navy Is A Way To Resume The Activities Of Shipyards In Rio de Janeiro. Sérgio Bacci Emphasized That The Navy Has An Old Fleet And Faces An Urgent Need For Replacement, And This Would Be An Opportunity To Generate Jobs And Income In Rio de Janeiro.

According To Representatives Of The Public Company That Manages Naval Projects, The Navy Needs 12 Frigates. Of These, Four Are Already Being Built In Santa Catarina, With Up To 40% Local Content Contracting In That State. The Sinaval Report Indicates That The Other Shipbuilding Works Can Be Brought To Rio de Janeiro, With The Potential For Hiring Professionals In The State.
