In a Year That Was Difficult for Many Industries, the Aquaculture Sector Stands Out with the Construction of Two High-Quality Wells, One in Brazil and the Other in Norway, and a Boat Specifically Designed for the Chilean Market.

The vessel was designed as one of the most efficient and safe in the market, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a high level of redundancy. The Detroit Group, responsible for the project, believes that the vessel will do very well for the Chilean industry.

The collaboration between one of the leading wellboat operators in the Chilean market, Naviera Detroit, and one of the largest shipyards in South America, Grupo Detroit Brazil, resulted in the construction of a boat that meets the sanitary requirements of Europe and the Americas. However, the vessel minimizes loading and unloading times and transports salmon quickly and safely. The fish handling and welfare system from Grupo Detroit, which allows the operator to monitor and control all operational variables in real-time, is another advantage of the vessel.

The main challenge in building the vessel was that critical processes needed to be completed in Chile and Brazil. The vessel was built in Brazil and tested in Brazilian waters to ensure performance, navigation safety, and compliance with class protocols before being brought to Chile to complete commissioning and make necessary adjustments before starting operations.

The best city to live in Brazil has only 4,700 inhabitants, is located in the interior of São Paulo, and leads the ranking for the third consecutive year, driven by quality of life, sanitation, security, and revenue linked to the Embraer factory.
