Works on the Second Conventional Submarine at ICN in Itaguaí Are Going Strong, and This Time It Was the Turn of the Second Section to Be Transferred from the Structure Factory to the ICN Shipyard, Both in Itaguaí.
Last Wednesday, May 29, the ground transfer operation of the second of the four sections of the second submarine of PROSUB was carried out, which will be transported from UFEM to the Shipbuilding Yard of the Naval Complex of Itaguaí, ICN, in Rio de Janeiro.
ICN, Itaguaí Naval Constructions, is the company responsible for building the four conventional submarines and also the first nuclear-powered submarine designed and manufactured in Brazil.
Both projects are part of the Submarine Program (PROSUB), which is a Brazil-France cooperation agreement that includes technology transfer and workforce training in France.
