Shipyard (ex-Ishibras) That Once Experienced Glory During the Japanese Era Is Operated by Petrobras in the Caju Neighborhood, Port Region of Rio de Janeiro
From the golden days of shipbuilding and of Japanese origin, the Inhaúma Shipyard, operated by Petrobras in the Caju neighborhood, Port Region of Rio de Janeiro, had its power cut off last Wednesday (04/10) due to non-payment to the utility company.
The workers present had to move to other buildings to continue their work, and even the clocking out process could not be recorded.
The Inhaúma shipyard (ex-Ishibras) is of Japanese origin and had its moments of glory during the prosperous times of our shipbuilding industry.
After being closed for years, it was leased by Petrobras in 2013 and its facilities were revitalized by Enseada (EEP), which would convert four oil tankers into the hulls of the future P-74, P-75, P-76, and P-77 platforms that would be destined for the Cessão Onerosa areas in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

Only the hulls of P-74 and P-76 were converted at the shipyard; the hulls of P-75 and P-77 were sent by Petrobras to China.
At the peak of the conversion works for the hulls of P-74 and P-76, over 5,000 direct jobs were created at the shipyard, boosting shipbuilding in Rio de Janeiro.
It is sad to see one of the giants of Brazilian shipbuilding, besides being completely covered in rust in its empty workshops, reach this point.
It is not just the state of Rio de Janeiro that suffers from the crisis in the shipbuilding industry; the recent defeat of the Vard Promar Shipyard in Pernambuco (which was the builder for the “FLV” consortium formed by the Italians Fincantieri and Leonardo shipyard) worsened the situation of the shipbuilding industry in the state.
The lack of orders from the Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS) further contributes to the chaos in the sector, and there are even risks of shipyard closures, causing serious concerns for the Metalworkers Union of Pernambuco (Sindmetal-PE). Click here and keep reading this article!
