With Sector Partners Involved in Lava Jato, the Shipbuilding Industry Operates with Low Capacity and No Major Orders

We all know that the shipbuilding industry is undergoing its worst crisis. We are feeling in the worst way what schemes of corruption, administrative misconduct, and lack of long-term investments do to the economy of a sector, institution, or country. In the following sections, we will briefly address what is happening and why it is taking us so long to escape this never-ending chaos that plagues the oil and gas sector, but specifically the shipbuilding sector, which is the main focus of today’s article.

The shipbuilding sector was once a hallmark of Brazil’s economic growth in the 1970s, but today, it seems we are far from repeating that milestone. Currently, we have 40 shipyards in the country, with 12 not operational and the rest having very little work due to a lack of orders and little cash for major investments. This is a reflection of executives in this sector being involved in corruption schemes uncovered by Lava Jato. From that era, what remains to this day is only 50,000 workers and a debt that reaches billions. This data was provided by Sinaval (National Union of the Shipbuilding Industry).

Among the shipyards that are still operating, some are still building barges or catamarans. However, the sector focused on the construction and assembly of drilling rigs and ships, which was conceived to meet Petrobras’s needs, is nearing its end due to projects that are being completed, which should not take more than 2 months of work. After that, more shipyards will be added negatively to this statistic of operational inactivity.

The Reflection of the Crisis in People’s Lives

Jorge Fonseca, 46 years old, is one of the thousands of people suffering from the crisis in the shipbuilding industry. He left Rio to try his luck at Ecovix and its shipyard in Rio Grande but was laid off along with 3,000 workers after Petrobras terminated the contract.

In Rio de Janeiro, Jorge’s wife, Maria Angélica, has worked in banking, telemarketing, and the pharmaceutical sector. In Rio Grande, she can’t even get a job as a cashier in a store or supermarket. Occasionally, some cleaning jobs come up, but still, they rely on help from their son who lives in RJ and neighbors.

The Reflection of the Crisis in People’s Lives

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
