The Expectation is for Two Thousand Direct Jobs to be Created at the Shipyard in São José do Norte After Meeting with the Governor
The EBR shipyard in the city of São José do Norte (RS) may be the first to initiate the recovery cycle of the country’s shipbuilding industry, as it has been making intense negotiations and, according to the company, everything is favorable and promising. This week, the board of Estaleiro do Brasil (EBR) met with José Ivo Sartori, the current governor of Rio Grande do Sul, to emphasize that the contracts for manufacturing modules for offshore units of MODEC will be its responsibility, considering the current contracts with Petrobras.
The main reason for the meeting was to resolve state tax issues and a possible update of them; this way, alignment with the new guidelines of Repetro (Customs Regime for Export and Import of Goods Intended for the Exploration and Production of Oil and Natural Gas) would be possible. It was also reported in this meeting that the State Secretariat of Finance is planning a new project for legislative evaluation throughout the week.

According to Sartori, no deputy should impose barriers to the approval of these new measures, as state revenue would begin to include an ICMS of 3% from the shipyards and the shipbuilding industry, a tax that was previously not collected by the state for this type of service.
Jobs and Benefits
2 thousand direct job opportunities will be opened in São José do Norte still in 2018, according to EBR’s management during the meeting with the governor. It is worth noting that the city has been suffering from a severe recession, as a large part of its revenue comes from active shipyards. The QGI Consortium and the Rio Grande Shipyard will also be affected by these new measures.
Before closing the first quarter of this year, EBR managed to complete the assembly of the P-74 platform ahead of schedule at its shipyard in the city, which was delivered to Petrobras in April.
