The federation’s document also covers the area of national defense, which will generate significant naval demand for the Navy, and anticipates several contracts, highlighting the Antarctic support vessel currently in bidding. These opportunities may bring new business for shipyards and supply chains in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.
