The Tender For The Inhaúma Shipyard, Previously Managed By Petrobras And Also Located In The Port Region Of Rio De Janeiro, Is Also Opened For Rental.

Petrobras Believes That The Inhaúma Shipyard Has Great Potential For The Use Of Logistics Bases For Offshore Companies. The Area Of This Enterprise Corresponds To 321,612 m², With 6 Berths For Docking Large Vessels, Equipment Storage Areas, A Workshop, And Also 2 Docks And 2 Dikes (One Dry And One Wet).

Proposals From Companies Interested In Renting The Inhaúma Shipyard Must Be Submitted By March 4. However, It Is Said That Petrobras Should Extend This Deadline.
