With the Intent to Expand Its Influence Beyond National Territory, Estaleiro Rio Maguari Secures a Great Deal with a Canadian Company

With a strong Brazilian presence in the support tugboat construction industry, Estaleiro Rio Maguari has just closed a major partnership with Robert Allan, a company based in Canada for the manufacturing of these vessels. It is worth noting that this project will be in Brazil. The contract has not been signed yet, but according to the shipyard’s director, Fabio Vasconcellos, the discussions are solid and the contract will be announced in the coming months.

Although the scope of the business targets the national territory, neighboring countries such as Chile, Peru, the Caribbean, and Colombia are being touted for new business opportunities as well.

Robert Allan specializes in designing “pushboats” and invited Estaleiro Rio Maguari due to its history of good performance in construction and quality in these types of projects, with the intention that the shipyard becomes the official partner of the company in South America.

In the oil and gas sector in Brazil, the company reports that it is also keeping a close eye and wishes to be part of this market segment, naturally for shipbuilding in Brazil, which is one of the most interesting areas, despite the shipyard being medium-sized.

According to the company’s director, in the last 5 years, the company has managed to complete around 350 vessels, and by the end of 2018, 60 will be delivered, taking into account pushboats and barges. In 2019, this number will be much higher.
