There Have Been No Jobs in the Naval Poles of Rio Grande do Sul for Some Time, There Was Expectation That the FPSO Carioca MV30 Would Be Built at the EBR Shipyard
“Total Desolation”, these are the words that define the current situation of the naval industry in Rio Grande do Sul after MODEC chose the Brasfels Shipyard of the Keppel Group instead of the EBR Shipyard for the construction of its offshore unit that will operate in the pre-salt. Leaders from the city of Rio Grande and São José do Norte are simply “dumbfounded”, given the expectation that these works would go to the Rio Grande do Sul shipyards.
More than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs were expected to be generated if the module construction project were built in RS, according to Sadi Machado, Vice President of the Metalworkers’ Union of Rio Grande do Sul.

This news also reached Porto Alegre, causing a certain “discomfort”, with fears that only the shipyards in Rio de Janeiro will be prioritized in these and other future projects in the naval industry.
According to PT deputy Nelsinho, who is also a metalworker, it is emphasized that the governments have been absent regarding the naval pole in Rio Grande do Sul. The Executive Power of RS claims that it is doing everything possible for the sector to start generating activities and income again.
