Mixed Parliamentary Front Fights for Investments in the Shipbuilding Industry and Job Creation.

The Mixed Parliamentary Front in Defense of the Shipbuilding Industry is working on a report for the federal government to resume investments in the sector, which is currently operating below capacity.

Federal Representative Jorge Solla called for a technical visit to the Enseada shipyard in the municipality of Maragogipe (BA), aimed at pushing the shipbuilding industry to operate at full capacity and generate jobs.

The Enseada once generated more than 7,500 direct jobs, but that number has dropped drastically following the suspension of orders by Sete Brasil due to the impacts of the Lava Jato operation.

The economic stagnation has affected several municipalities in the Recôncavo Baiano, which recorded the opening of around 7,000 companies related to the shipyard’s activities.

The Parliamentary Front, composed of federal and state representatives, is working on revising legislation to provide greater legal security to the shipbuilding industry and ensure long-lasting projects.

The sector’s recovery requires not only the restoration of jobs but also the retraining of professionals who have been idle.

Opportunities for the Industry and Professionals

The president of Enseada, Ricardo Ricardi, reported that the shipyard has the capacity to produce up to five ships per year, with a skilled team and modern equipment.

The Coordination of Tax Incentives at the Economic Development Secretariat of Bahia emphasizes the importance of preparing both jobs and professionals for the sector’s recovery.

The United Federation of Oil Workers hopes that Petrobras will once again be the driver of national engineering and the shipbuilding industry with the federal government’s change of guidelines.
