Leased by Petrobras back in 2010, the Inhaúma shipyard, located in the port neighborhood of Caju in Rio de Janeiro, has been idle since 2016. The question is whether the venture will spark interest from companies in the offshore logistics segment.
Petrobras is opening the bidding because it believes that the Inhaúma shipyard has great potential for use as logistics bases for offshore companies. The area of 321,612 m² in the port area of Rio de Janeiro has 6 berths for large vessels, storage areas for equipment, a workshop, and also 2 docks and 2 slips (one dry and one wet).

The bidding notice for the Inhaúma shipyard was published on February 8, and access is available on the Petrobras Transparency Portal. The lease period for the shipyard’s facilities and infrastructure runs until August 2031, with the bidding to be contested under the criterion of the highest offer.
Currently, the Inhaúma shipyard belongs to the Brazilian Docks Company (CBD), with a value of R$ 4 million per month, according to a contract with Petrobras signed in 2010.

Proposals from potential interested parties to lease the Inhaúma shipyard must be delivered by March 4. However, it is said that Petrobras is likely to extend this deadline.
The availability of the lease for the venture through the bidding process has caught the attention of the port market. However, the company has not used the facilities since 2016, the year the conversion works for the P-76 platform were completed.
Petrobras leased the Inhaúma shipyard for the purpose of converting the hulls of the first four FPSOs (floating, production, storage, and offloading – vessels capable of processing and storing oil, as well as transferring the same product or natural gas) from the onerous assignment (P-74, P-75, P-76, and P-77), together with Odebrecht, OAS, and UTC Engenharia.
However, only the works of P-74 and P-76 were carried out, generating over 5,000 jobs at the time in Brazil, while the other two hulls were completed abroad, at the Cosco shipyard in China, causing Petrobras to change its strategic project.
After Six Years Without Activity, Would Leasing the Inhaúma Shipyard Be a Good Deal?
As mentioned above, the Inhaúma shipyard has been out of use since 2016. For this reason, there are many uncertainties surrounding the condition of the equipment and the state of the facilities that make up the venture.
For this reason, there is uncertainty about whether leasing the shipyard will truly be a good deal for the participating companies that wish to access the venture.
The Inhaúma shipyard has Japanese origins. It was initially called Ischibras. The venture had its moments of glory until the naval sector sank into unemployment, lack of projects, and corruption scandals at Petrobras.
