Study Conducted by the Secretary of Economic Development of Rio de Janeiro Was Presented During the Nor-Shipping 2019 Fair in Oslo, Norway.

Survey conducted by the Secretary of Economic Development of Rio de Janeiro, Lucas Tristão, points to a very optimistic scenario for the national shipbuilding industry, after 5 years of crisis.
The main reason for this wave of optimism, according to the secretary, are the auctions that will take place starting this year.

The study points to a need by 2030 for 270 new vessels to support Exploration and Production activities.
The increase in vessels was based on a scenario with 35 floating drill rigs and 50 FPSOs in the country, and would include 200 to assist about 50 FPSOs and 70 to support a projected fleet of 35 floating drill rigs.

The offshore support fleet in Brazil consists of about 370 vessels, including 177 PSVs/OSRVs, 70 LHs/SVs, 48 AHTSs, 25 Crew/FSVs, 16 PLSVs, 12 RSVs, 8 MPSVs, 5 DSVs, 3 WSVs, 2 WIVs, and one Flotel.

According to the ANP, there are 144 stationary production units (UEPs) operating in the country. Among them are 80 fixed platforms, 45 FPSOs, 14 semisubmersibles, three FSOs, one TLWP (Tension Leg Wet Platform), and one FPU (Floating Production Unit).

According to data from the Directorate of Ports and Coasts of the Brazilian Navy (DPCMar), there were 39 drill rigs in Brazilian waters in May of this year, with 18 semisubmersible drilling rigs and 15 drill ships, in addition to five jack-up rigs already decommissioned. The number includes contracted and non-contracted units.
