Naval Authorities Celebrated Agreement in Rio de Janeiro That Provides for the Completion of Ships Whose Construction Was Halted at the EISA Shipyard

The Brazilian Navy took a significant step toward the completion of the Patrol Vessels (NPa) “Maracanã” and “Mangaratiba” in Rio de Janeiro, with the signing, among the directors responsible for the project, of a commitment term.
These vessels were part of the Eisa S.A shipyard’s scope, but they were not completed, and with the company’s closure, they were transferred to the Navy Arsenal. The Navy even announced that it would hire a company to finish the works.

The commitment term was signed last Tuesday (08/27), at the DEN facilities, by the directors of DEN (Naval Engineering Directorate), DIM (Navy Industrial Directorate), and DCTIM (Navy Communications and Information Technology Directorate) and marks the resumption of shipbuilding at the Navy Arsenal in Rio de Janeiro (AMRJ).

Participating in the signing of the agreement were the DCTIM Director, Rear Admiral (EN) Luciana Mascarenhas da Costa Marroni; the DSAM Director, Vice Admiral Alfredo Martins Muradas; the DEN Director, Vice Admiral (EN) Mario Ferreira Botelho; the DIM Director, Vice Admiral (EN) Liberal Enio Zanelatto; the AMRJ Director, Rear Admiral (EN) José Luiz Rangel da Silva; and the DIM Project Management Superintendent, Frigate Captain (Ref-EN) Carlos Roberto Frambach.

The Services

It has not been disclosed whether the Navy will subcontract the services or execute them with its own workforce from its shipyard, the Arsenal, located on Snake Island in Rio de Janeiro, given that the current portfolio of the shipyard is quite extensive.

The vessels subject to the commitment term are the NPa (Patrol Vessel) Maracanã, which has already been launched and is currently docked at the Navy Arsenal in Rio de Janeiro, on Snake Island, and the NPa Mangaratiba, which is in a warehouse at a less advanced stage of construction.
