Shipyards Prepare Letter Alerting Government to Risks of Approving the Provisional Measure Exempting Taxes on the Purchase of New and Used Foreign Ships for Cabotage Use.
The Bill from Senator Alváro Dias (PODE-PR) continues to stir up the shipbuilding market, to the point that Sinaval (National Union of Shipbuilding Industry) gathered its representatives and submitted, last Wednesday (06/12), a letter to the Ministry of Infrastructure.
The content of the letter is the immediate opposition to the provisional measure allowing the importation of new or used ships for cabotage use (navigation between ports of the same country), prepared by the senator from Paraná.
According to Sinaval, the measure drastically changes the current regulatory framework of the naval sector, which has governed Brazilian navigation for 20 years (law 9432/1997).

Hungarian mothers began confronting electric car battery factories over fears of contaminated water and industrial waste, saying the green industry was poisoning the neighborhood.
The tax exemption on the purchase of these ships (II, PIS, Cofins, and ICMS) would not only alter rules that were discussed by stakeholders during countless meetings but would also bring losses to the shipyards and the entire production chain.
Not to mention, logically, that it would be a blow to the generation of jobs and income in the country, as it would be another obstacle to the recovery of the sector.
The Submitted Letter
The letter was addressed to Minister Tarcísio Freitas and was signed by the president of Sinaval, Ariovaldo Rocha, who also stated that canceling the measure is of utmost importance to prevent further damage to the shipbuilding industry at a time when its shipyards are struggling for survival.
The sector once employed over 80,000 people, but after the crisis that began in 2014, it caused shipyards to lose 63,000 jobs, according to Sinaval data.
In addition to delivering the letter to the Ministry of Infrastructure, Sinaval also requested a hearing to outline its positions regarding the provisional measure in question.
