The Shipbuilding Industry Union of the Country Went to Brasília for a Schedule of Meetings to Discuss the Current Situation and Perspectives of the Brazilian Naval and Offshore Industry.
The Sinaval, an institution that represents Brazilian shipyards located in various regions of the country, went to Brasília for a schedule of meetings with government authorities.
The president of Sinaval, Ariovaldo Rocha, was accompanied by a delegation of directors from the entity and representatives from member shipyards.
The delegation was received on the morning of Monday, July 22, by the Vice President of the Republic, Hamilton Mourão, who got to know a little better about the current situation of naval construction and national shipyards.
The presidents of the shipyards are very concerned about the provisional measure that relaxes the rules for the importation of new or used ships for cabotage (navigation between ports of the same country).
