The naval construction sector in Bahia is beginning to show signs of a strategy for economic recovery, after six years in a state of suspension. In July, the naval company Petrocity Portos S.A announced a partnership with the Enseada Shipyard for the construction of two container ships, with financing approved by the National Merchant Marine Fund.

The president of Petrocity, José Roberto Barbosa da Silva, visited the Enseada Shipyard facilities in Bahia last Friday (11) to inspect the work at the site, which will be the setting for the construction of two container ships intended for cabotage transport, with a capacity of 2,000 tons.

The total investment for the construction of the two large vessels at the Enseada Shipyard in Bahia will be R$ 617 million, where each ship will cost, according to Resolution 174/2020, the total amount of US$ 73.443 million, approximately R$ 308.5 million.

Ship Construction Promises to Generate Jobs in Bahia

Intended for cabotage transport (between national ports) starting in January 2021, the construction of the two 1,500-foot (75 TEU) ships at the Enseada Shipyard will generate 750 job opportunities in Maragogipe, Bahia.

According to the president of Petrocity Portos, the completion of the ships’ construction is expected to occur even before the port construction in Urussuquara, São Mateus (ES), which will operate from the Enseada Shipyard itself, finishes.

This is the first large contract for the Enseada Shipyard since it was hit by a naval crisis due to Operation Lava Jato. It is worth noting that the Enseada Shipyard was initially owned by a consortium formed by Odebrecht Engenharia Industrial, OAS, and UTC Engenharia. Currently, the industry solely belongs to Odebrecht Engenharia, also a partner of Petrocity in the port construction.
