The São Miguel Shipyard Was Awarded a Contract for the Construction of a Bulk Carrier with 100% Local Labor

Everything indicates that Rio de Janeiro will be the first state to feel the positive impacts towards the post-crisis, the shipbuilding industry in Rio starts to show some glimpses of the results of the intense negotiations for the construction of vessels and offshore units to resume in the shipyards of the regions, which were battered by the strong economic recession and lack of contracts since 2014, forcing Petrobras, the main requester, to divest some assets and build some units in Eastern countries.

The São Miguel Shipyard, which belongs to the Bravante group, recently signed another contract to build a bulk carrier with Navenor Serviços Marítimos, under the control of Grupo Salinor, the vessel will have a transport capacity of 2,751 tons of salt.

According to the information, the delivery deadline will be set for June 2019 and after its construction, the ship will carry out its transport logistics to the Northeast of Brazil. With this achievement, São Miguel becomes one of the few shipyards to secure contracts in the naval industry in 2018.

The Engineering Manager of São Miguel Shipyard made the following statement: “The know-how gained in eight years of building specialized ships and the excellence of our technical team were decisive for this achievement.”

The São Miguel Shipyard completed and was able to deliver the first bulk carrier almost 3 months ago, with a load capacity of around 2,162 tons, and it is already fully operational and engaging in the coastal sector in Rio Grande do Norte. It is worth noting that these projects use Brazilian labor, generating income and local employment and boosting the national goods and services industry.
