Resumption of works at the Brasfels shipyard will generate a lot of jobs and income for Angra dos Reis

The resumption of works has already created many jobs in the region and making the contract official would help (and a lot) in the recovery of Brasfels and for the city of Angra dos Reis-RJ.

The terms of the agreement between Keppels' subsidiaries, Fernvale Pte Ltd. and Fels Offshore Pte Ltd has the same value as that offered by Magni Partners (US $ 259.456.692,60) and would put an end to the soap opera of continuing the works after the imbroglio with Magni Partners and the Arab fund Mubadala that had the negotiations paralyzed.

Under the agreement, the Brasfels shipyard would take over the Urca and Frade rigs and then transfer them to Petrobras, which has already secured a contract at a daily rate of US$ 299.000,00 for both and also for the drillships Arpoador and Guarapari, which are at the Jurong Aracruz shipyard.

The new negotiation appears as a last and concrete possibility of closing the works and maintaining the jobs that were created with its resumption, after Lava Jato pointed out irregularities in the contracts and Sete Brasil entered into judicial recovery.
