About 69 Foreign Vessels Changed Their Flags to the National Flag

January had its offshore support fleet in Brazilian jurisdictional waters closed with a total of 418 vessels (the same number as last December), representing a 5.5% increase compared to January 2022. According to the Brazilian Association of Maritime Support Companies (Abeam), 377 of the total were Brazilian-flagged ships and 41 were foreign-flagged.

When compared to 2015, when demand began to be impacted by the downturn in the oil and gas sector, 105 foreign vessels were decommissioned and 105 Brazilian-flagged vessels were added. Already in January of this year, about 69 vessels that were of foreign origin changed their flags to the national flag.

National Origin Fleet and Its Increase

The offshore support fleet of national origin increased from 90% to 91% compared to November of last year, while 11% correspond to support vessels of foreign origins. In January of this year, Abeam’s report identified a fleet of 418 vessels, with 377 of Brazilian origin and 41 of foreign flags. In November, there were 420 vessels, of which 377 were of Brazilian origin and 43 were of foreign flags.
