AMRJ Performs Triple Docking With In-House Labor and Reinforces Its Technical Excellence and Autonomy in Naval Construction and Maintenance.

The Arsenal of the Navy of Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ) completed, on May 15, a strategic operation of triple docking at the Almirante Régis Dock. Utilizing exclusively in-house labor, the operation reaffirms AMRJ’s technical capacity and self-sufficiency.

The three vessels involved — the Oceanographic Support Ship Ary Rongel, the Tugboat Laurindo Pitta, and the Floating Dock Almirante Schieck — will remain docked for about three months.

Cost Reduction and Autonomy Mark a New Phase at AMRJ

The adoption of in-house labor for this docking represents a significant reduction in maintenance costs, in addition to showcasing AMRJ’s technical expertise in complex operations.

“Red Giant” Undergoes Complete Maintenance Within PROANTAR

As part of its General Maintenance Period (GMP), the ship Ary Rongel — known as “Red Giant” — will undergo inspections on the main combustion engines, the shaft generator, the thrusters, as well as painting and repairs to the hull.

The ship is a key asset in the Brazilian Antarctic Program (PROANTAR), responsible for supporting scientific missions in extreme regions.

Museum Ship Laurindo Pitta Enters Routine Docking

The Laurindo Pitta, now used for maritime tours in Guanabara Bay, is undergoing a Routine Docking Period (RDP).

The services include sandblasting, structural repairs, maintenance of the propeller and valves, and painting of tanks.

Even with its museological function, the ship continues to be maintained in perfect operational condition.

Schieck Dock Undergoes Maintenance to Support New Patrol Vessels

The Floating Dock Almirante Schieck is also undergoing general maintenance.

The docking ensures the full operational capacity of the dock, essential for the construction of the new Mangaratiba and Miramar Patrol Vessels, which are in the development phase at AMRJ.

The triple docking performed at AMRJ demonstrates how the Brazilian Navy is strengthening its technical structure and strategic autonomy.

The operation also signals the importance of keeping naval assets fully operational, contributing to science, naval memory, and maritime sovereignty of the country.
