Capixaba Shipyard Enters the Race for 48 Vessels from Petrobras, With Potential to Transform the Regional Economy

The Seatrium Shipyard in Aracruz, formerly known as Jurong, is positioning itself as one of the main candidates for the construction of 48 new vessels announced by Petrobras. This project, set to contract by December 31, 2026, aims to strengthen the Brazilian shipbuilding industry, requiring a minimum local content of 40% in the production of the vessels. Petrobras’s initiative, announced by President Magda Chambriard during the Nova Indústria Brasil Forum in May 2025, foresees investments of R$ 118 billion and the creation of approximately 180,000 jobs.

Seatrium Aracruz Already Participates in Major Petrobras Projects

Currently, the Seatrium Aracruz shipyard is involved in the construction of the modules for platforms P-84 and P-85, which will be installed in the Atapu and Sépia fields, respectively, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. The P-84, with a capacity to process 225,000 barrels of oil per day, is expected to start operations in 2029, while the P-85 is scheduled to begin operations in 2030. The construction of these platforms is divided between Brazil, China, and Singapore, with the capixaba shipyard being responsible for three modules of the P-84, representing 20% of the total structure.

Economic Impact and Job Creation in Espírito Santo

The participation of Seatrium Aracruz in these projects has a significant impact on the local economy. During the peak of construction, it is estimated that around 3,500 direct and indirect jobs will be created. Furthermore, the construction of the platforms boosts various sectors, such as logistics, hospitality, food, and local commerce. The Vice Governor and Secretary of Development of Espírito Santo, Ricardo Ferraço, emphasized that the shipyard’s projects “add significant strength to our economy,” highlighting the importance of Seatrium Aracruz as the largest shipyard in Brazil.

Competitive Potential of the Capixaba Shipyard

With a modern and highly qualified structure, Seatrium Aracruz stands out as one of the most prepared shipyards in the entire naval sector. Additionally, the company has engineering expertise from Singapore, which further strengthens its technical and international performance. Since the 1980s, it has performed various repair and conversion projects for Petrobras vessels. Therefore, many people widely recognize its accumulated experience. The Secretary of Economic Development of Aracruz, José Eduardo Faria de Azevedo, praised the competitive capability of the local shipyard. According to him, Seatrium Aracruz has a real potential to secure a significant portion of future contracts if it participates in the bidding process.

Expectations for the Future of the Naval Industry in Espírito Santo

The confirmation of Petrobras’s investments, along with the involvement of Seatrium Aracruz, reinforces the growth of the naval industry in Espírito Santo. Therefore, according to Undersecretary Christiane Vargas de Souza Menezes, the impact on the capixaba economy will be substantial, with new jobs and strengthened sectors. Thus, the arrival of new contracts and the expansion of the shipyard solidify Espírito Santo as a strategic hub for the naval industry. In this way, the state directly contributes to the economic and social advancement of the region, strengthening its position in the national scenario.
