Another important step towards the construction of the PROSUB Tunnel will be carried out by Itaguaí Construções Navais (ICN). The company arranges for the transfer of section 2A of the submarine from the factory to the shipbuilding yard.
On October 16th, following the shipbuilding schedule for the PROSUB submarines, the ICN transferred the S2A section of the Tonelero submarine from UFEM to the construction yard. PROSUB continues on its way and soon we will have the first submarine, the Riachuelo, being delivered to the operating sector.

Progress path of Section 2A of the Prosub ton truck
During the route, all accesses to Madeira Island will be prohibited under the supervision of agents from the Federal Highway Police (PRF), National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT) and Military Police (PM), who will clear the roads as soon as the section travels the short distance.
This was yet another important operational advance in the construction scale of the PROSUB vessel. It also points to the maturity in the transfer of technology absorbed by ICN, since its manufacture is carried out 100% with Brazilian labor, confirming the autonomy of the Brazilian Navy in the manufacture of Riachuelo Class submarines, proving more and more the efficiency of Brazilian shipbuilding.

Other submarines in partnership with ICN and PROSUB
ICN has been taking big steps in the naval construction of submarines for the Brazilian Navy. Recently, the shipment of 360 battery elements was carried out on the submarine S41 Humaitá.
In a delicate and complex operation, the Construction Shipyard (ESC) team completed the mission, which required great concentration and commitment in activating and handling the elements.
The first step was to energize the batteries in the activation workshops. Then, the elements were transported to the ESC, where they were lifted by an overhead crane to the interior of the vessel. Lastly, the electrical team has the task of connecting the busbars to the battery elements to allow charging on board.
