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.
