The recognized company in the naval repair sector, Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS) started the year positively, as the site where it is located within the Suape Port Complex has its dry dock and its 730-meter-long quay filled with ships. In the case of the shipbuilding company, about five ships and tugboats were repaired. According to Nicole Mattar Haddad, the company is strong in the naval repair market as a high-quality supplier in the country, ensuring services for Brazilian clients and others, transferring a market that is in RJ and abroad to Pernambuco, generating 500 jobs in Suape.

Nicole states that she already has international partners in negotiation and is preparing for entry into the market. This means that a new demand will arise in the Northeast with Aneel’s approval of the installation of offshore wind farms, and Atlântico Sul Shipyard does not want to be left out.
The demand in the offshore wind energy sector excites the team at the shipbuilding company in Suape, as, in terms of equipment, welding, boiler-making, and other aspects, Atlântico Sul Shipyard is at a high level of competitiveness.
Federal Government Signs Regulatory Decree for Offshore Wind Energy Generation in Brazilian States
Last month, President Jair Bolsonaro signed a decree that regulates enterprises for electrical generation through wind sources offshore. The production of offshore wind energy will be authorized by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).
Aneel is analyzing authorization requests for the installation of two offshore wind power plants in Ceará, but plans to wait for the development of specific regulations for the sector.
In a way, EAS is already targeting the wind energy sector. “In the tower segment, we are already competing for contracts. What we are aiming at is the offshore market that is emerging in Brazil,” admits the executive managing the shipyard’s Judicial Recovery.
Atlântico Sul Shipyard Begins Hiring Again
Despite everything, Haddad knows that several external companies will arrive when the hiring for towers begins. However, she believes that the shipyard’s condition and its experience in nautical products can position EAS well in the competition.
The executive of the shipbuilding company has a deadline of two years to exit Judicial Recovery and believes it is possible. However, she wishes to do this by offering a more competitive company with new business opportunities. Haddad also highlights that the company has already started to reach out to former welders and is rehiring them.
