Mauá Shipyard – Niterói (RJ) – Amid the pandemic, electric and water supply companies were prohibited from cutting off the power and water supply to Mauá Shipyard. Meanwhile, Brasfels Shipyard, in Angra dos Reis, confirms employees infected with Covid-19
The decision was issued by Judge Alexandre de Carvalho Mesquita of the 1st Business Court of the Court of Justice of Rio.
Under the court ruling, the cuts of power and water will be suspended at Mauá Shipyard for ninety days or until the end of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus that has been creating global chaos.

For Mauá Shipyard, this brings relief, as it is undergoing judicial recovery and has accumulated debts of 1.5 billion reais.
According to Roberto Carlos Keppler, partner at Keppler Advogados Associados, “The decision avoids cutting essential services for the continuity of operations, allowing the company to maintain its activities during the crisis period.”
It’s noteworthy that Mauá Shipyard was once among Brazil’s largest shipbuilding hubs, employing around 10,000 workers.
Mauá Shipyard currently has about 300 workers and provides ship repair services, warehousing services, and also operates as a port terminal.
Seaport Logistics Signs Agreement with Mauá Shipyard for Port Operations and Offshore Support
