One of the port support companies that received priority from the Merchant Marine Fund was SAAM Towage Brasil, Detroit Brasil Shipyard (Itajaí).

107.4 million reais will be granted to SAAM Towage Brasil for the construction of three azimuth tugs at the Detroit Brasil shipyard in Itajaí-SC.

Currently, the company owns 18 tugs built by the Detroit Brasil shipyard, which at the time were delivered to SMIT, consisting of a series of 12 tugs with a bollard pull of 45 tons delivered between 2007 and 2008, and another series with 6 tugs with a bollard pull of 65 tons delivered in 2009.

The other company that is also a priority in the Merchant Marine Fund is Bram Offshore, which will be responsible for the repair and dry docking of five vessels at a cost of 37 million reais, consisting of four PSVs (Deborah Kay, Santos Scout, Santos Service, and Santos Solution) and one AHTS (Olin Conqueror).

In the same financing package, the conversion service of three vessels is also included, with two PSVs (Deborah Kay and Santos Service) and one AHTS (Olin Conqueror).

All repairs and conversions will be carried out at the Navship shipyard in Navegantes-SC, which, by the way, built all the vessels mentioned above.

Both companies, Bram and Navship, are subsidiaries of the American Edison Chouest Offshore and work together in the maintenance and operation of more than 50 vessels in service in Brazil.
