Inauguration attended by Modec's presidents in Brazil and around the world will meet the demand for the company's operations in the Campos Basin
In a ceremony that had the participation of suppliers, customers, partners, industry institutions and employees, in addition to the presidents of Modec in Brazil, Takashi Nishino, and the global CEO, Yuji Kozai, was inaugurated last Thursday (01/ 08), a new base of operations in the city of Macaé, in the North of Fluminense.
The new base is strategic for Modec due to the strategic location that the city of Macaé has in the oil and gas scenario in Brazil and aims to further support the logistics of its vessels that will come into operation in the coming years.
Last year, Modec started operating the FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes MV29, in the Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça wells.
Modec currently has 11 units in operation in the country, 10 FPSO and one FSO, five of them in the Campos Basin and three more under construction.
According to Yuji Kozai, the company's global CEO, “Today, Brazil is at the center of the global offshore oil and gas market and has incredible potential for the coming years. We have been here for more than 15 years, following the growth and we want to help Brazil to strengthen its performance. Most of our fleet and our employees are in the country”.
The president of Modec in Brazil, Takashi Nishino, preferred to highlight the city of Macae on the national scene, “Macaé has a strategic position, between the two main producing basins in the country, and is very relevant for our business. The investment in the new base demonstrates our commitment to even better support offshore operations and satisfy our customers.”
Modec's activities in Brazil
Modec has been operating in Brazil since 2003 and started its activities in the Campos Basin, in a contract for the construction, operation and maintenance of the FPSO Fluminense.
From then on, the company managed to charter FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro MV14, FSO Cidade de Macaé MV15, FPSO Cidade de Niterói MV18 and FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes MV29.
