The Resumption of the Shipyard for Works in Naval Construction Will Help Generate Revenue and Ensure Compliance with the Judicial Recovery Plan of EAS.

The month of October ended with a milestone for naval construction in Pernambuco, EAS has already received on 10/27 the first of three ships for repair works! The last delivery from the shipyard occurred in June 2019, ending the contract with Transpetro. It marks the resumption of the naval sector in Brazil, FPSO Platform P-71 ordered by Petrobras will generate many jobs at the Jurong naval shipbuilding yard in Espírito Santo.

“Participating in the resurgence of this Giant that is the Atlântico Sul Shipyard and being able to see many collaborators with us again is beyond reason…. it is Exciting. Congratulations to the entire EAS team for this achievement and thank you to each one of you for your support.
Thank you very much to God for the Health and Energy that have brought us here!
Let’s move forward, all together to exceed our Client’s expectations! Together we are greater than our challenges! Always forward!” celebrates Leo Delarole, Director of the EAS shipyard, on his social profile.

The giant of Suape is starting to rise. And under the command of a woman, Nicole Terpins, the first in charge of its management. Nicole is an executive with over 15 years of experience in the sector and began her journey at EAS in 2014 as Legal Director. She took over the presidency in August 2019, after the delivery of the last order, with the mission of leading the restructuring. A Master in Commercial Law from USP and a specialist in advanced negotiations from the Harvard Institute of Negotiation, she has worked in mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring in Brazil and abroad.

For Nicole, shipowners are starting to see repair alternatives in Brazil. The strategy, according to her, is to blend repairs with other activities such as construction and dismantling, keeping an eye on other opportunities such as Navy projects.

“Shipowners are starting to see repair alternatives in Brazil. Other shipyards that were focused on naval construction have begun to enter this market. And I believe this tends to change the trend that shipowners had to send vessels abroad,” commented Nicole last Monday (26) during the 28th International Congress of Waterway Transport, Naval Construction, and Offshore of the Brazilian Society of Naval Engineering (Sobena).

According to the executive, the Atlântico Sul Shipbuilding Yard in Pernambuco secured two contracts for repair works: “We closed two contracts for repairs on two vessels from Flumar Transporte de Químicos e Gás Ltda.” The Flumar is a subsidiary of the Norwegian group Odfjell.

There will be 60 days of intense work to complete repairs on the Bow Atlantic ship, which arrived at EAS on the last 21st, and the Flumar Brasil, which arrived at EAS on Tuesday (10/27).

These contracts will generate 200 temporary job positions, but the outlook is positive. There are few repair stations in Brazil, which creates demand for this type of service in the national market. “We want to become a reference in naval repairs. And our dry dock, which is one of the largest in Brazil, with higher lifting capacity, can accommodate large vessels,” says the president of EAS.
