Meeting Promoted by Petrobras, IBP and APEX Brazil Gathered Brazilian Suppliers and Investors from the United States to Stimulate New Businesses in the Naval Sector

On Tuesday (07/05), in Houston, Texas (USA), an important event promoted by the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP) and Petrobras, with the collaboration of APEX Brazil, took place. This event was a business meeting called “Maritime Industries Connections – Brazil Offshore Energy Sector Roundtable Business Meeting – Brazilian Shipyards Map,” which occurred simultaneously with the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), the leading fair in the oil and gas segment, currently underway in Houston.

The main objective of the meeting was to stimulate new businesses in the naval industry by bringing together Brazilian suppliers and international investors.

IBP, Petrobras and APEX Brazil Foster New Businesses for the Brazilian Naval Industry in the United States

During the event, industry leaders discussed strategic partnerships aimed at revitalizing and modernizing Brazil’s naval and maritime industry. Notable figures such as Roberto Ardenghy, president of IBP; Carlos José Travassos, director of Engineering, Technology and Innovation at Petrobras; and Jean Paul Prates, president of Petrobras, were present.

Roberto Ardenghy emphasized the importance of supporting the Brazilian naval industry to increase its competitiveness and market opportunities, mentioning that the event is an opportunity for Brazilian companies to showcase their commitment to quality and excellence in a market focused on sustainable low-carbon solutions.

Brazilian Shipyards Have Potential to Meet Petrobras’ Needs

Jean Paul Prates highlighted that this was the first occasion where a meeting between the main national and international suppliers of the offshore industry was organized, providing a platform for Brazilian shipyards to present their construction capabilities and collaboration with foreign companies.

Carlos Travassos commented on the potential of Brazilian shipyards to meet Petrobras’ needs and highlighted the meeting as a way to integrate different players in the sector to meet the local content requirements stipulated in contracts.

The event featured the participation of 36 Brazilian companies and representatives from 18 other countries, along with representatives from various industry entities.

Intuitive Tool Allows Filtering Research for Shipyards Qualified to Produce FPSOs and Different Types of Vessels

Recently, IBP, in collaboration with associated companies and Sinaval, developed the Shipyard Map. This intuitive tool allows filtering research for shipyards qualified to produce FPSOs and different types of vessels, in addition to displaying information such as geographical location, steel handling capacity, and dimensions, with real-time updates. The goal is to provide shipowners, oil companies, and investors with comprehensive knowledge about the infrastructure of shipyards in Brazil.
