Temporary Measure Creates Benefits for the Naval Industry and the Oil Sector, Expanding Limits of Accelerated Depreciation for Tankers and Maritime Support Vessels Produced in Brazil.

The Temporary Measure 1315/25 came into effect bringing new stimuli for the naval industry and the oil sector in Brazil, as reported by the Senate Agency on Tuesday, September 16. The proposal aims to expand national production of vessels and reinforce the use of Brazilian ships for transporting oil, derivatives, and natural gas.

The measure raises the limit for granting the so-called accelerated depreciation quotas, a tax benefit that allows companies to reduce the Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL).

What Changes with the Temporary Measure

The ceiling for accelerated depreciation, previously set at R$ 1.6 billion by Law 14.871/24, now increases to R$ 2.4 billion. This incentive will apply to new tankers built in Brazil and also to maritime support vessels used in offshore platforms.

Expected Impact on the Sector

According to the Executive, the expansion aims to keep pace with the accelerated investment rhythm in the oil and gas sector. In 2024, the sector recorded investments of R$ 94.1 billion just in the production phase. For 2025, the forecast is R$ 139.9 billion, reaching R$ 609.5 billion from 2025 to 2029.

These figures were obtained from the Dynamic Panel of Activity, Investment, and Production Forecast in the Production Phase, by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).

The incentive policy has already shown positive effects in 2024. The Brazilian naval industry generated nearly 9,000 new jobs, a growth of 33% compared to 2023. This result, according to the government, proves the impact of the accelerated depreciation public policy.

In the justification of the temporary measure, the Executive highlighted:

“The proposal would result in a 50% increase in the renunciation related to the accelerated depreciation of vessels, taking into account the projected increase by the ANP in investment in the production phase of oil and natural gas in the same proportion between 2024 and 2025.”

Thus, the expectation is that the combination of tax incentives and higher demand from the oil sector will strengthen the Brazilian naval industry. And, in turn, reduce dependency on foreign vessels.

Cost Reduction and Strengthening of Cabotage

Another point emphasized by the government is that the incentives should favor cabotage of oil, derivatives, and natural gas. With an expanded fleet, Brazil would have more autonomy and greater control over transportation costs.

Additionally, the strategy seeks to minimize the effects of fluctuations in the international market, which directly impact oil prices and logistical costs.

Procedure in the National Congress

Although already in effect, the temporary measure needs approval from the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate to become a definitive law. The text will be initially analyzed by a mixed committee, which will discuss the details of the proposal before taking it to a vote in plenary.

Meanwhile, the practical effects of the MP are already beginning to be felt by the sector, which is awaiting definitions to plan medium- and long-term investments.

Procedure in the National Congress

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A volcano in Antarctica emits 80 grams of pure gold into the air every day, spreading precious particles over the ice, and yet no one can get their hands on this wealth.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

It’s not a 3D printer: an inventor from Pará created a construction robot that ejects reinforced concrete into molds and builds an entire house at once, reduces labor by 50%, saves 20% on cost, and is already negotiating over 1,000 units across Brazil.

Brazil has never generated so much clean energy — and has never charged so much for it: while solar and wind farms break records, the electricity bill rises by up to 23% and R$ 52 billion in charges are paid by 35 million families who don’t understand why electricity has become so expensive.
