Opening of the Competition and Process Details

The CEO of Transpetro, Sergio Bacci, emphasized that the competition will be open to both local and international companies. However, shipyards in Brazil will have the advantage of accessing the Merchant Marine Fund (FMM), and Petrobras will also consider import taxes in evaluating proposals.

Incentive to the Brazilian Shipbuilding Industry

Bacci stated in a press conference held in Rio de Janeiro that the announced ship acquisitions represent a significant boost for the Brazilian shipbuilding industry. He expressed hope that national shipyards will take advantage of this opportunity. Interested companies have a 90-day deadline to present their proposals.

Announcement of the Winner and Contract Signing

Transpetro expects the winning shipyard to be announced and the contract signed in December of this year. The orders are part of the fleet renewal and expansion program of the Petrobras System, which currently includes 16 cabotage ships, according to the oil company’s Strategic Plan for 2024 to 2028, with another nine still under study.

Presidential Pressure and Relevance to the Economy

Following pressure from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Petrobras was urged to strengthen the country’s shipbuilding industry. The president believes the sector is essential for job creation, especially after its loss of relevance in the last decade due to corruption scandals involving various projects.

Strengthening of Oil and Derivatives Logistics

The president of Petrobras, Magda Chambriard, emphasized in a statement that the program will increase the logistical capacity for oil and derivatives. Chambriard also highlighted that these contracts are a milestone for strengthening the national shipbuilding and offshore industry.

Structure and Operations of Transpetro

With a prominent position as the largest multimodal logistics company for oil and derivatives in Latin America, Transpetro currently operates 48 terminals, including 27 waterway and 21 land terminals, in addition to approximately 8,500 kilometers of pipelines and 33 ships. In addition to serving Petrobras, Transpetro also works with distributors, petrochemical industries, and various companies in the oil and gas sector.

This extensive client portfolio exceeds 160 contractors, highlighting the importance of the transportation and logistics subsidiary of Petrobras in the national landscape.
