Belov Shipyard in Salvador (BA) Has Priority for the Construction of RSV and SDSV

The Belov Shipyard received priority, with a total value of R$ 207.4 million, for the construction of two vessels: the RSV (vessel equipped with a robot) Belov Stella Maris and the SDSV (shallow diving) Belov Monte Serrat.

Bram Offshore and Alfanave also received resources for repair and conversion of vessels. For Bram Offshore, R$ 21.6 million is allocated for class certification of the PSV (Supply Vessel) Bram Buck and the WSV (Well Stimulation) Stim Star Brasil, in addition to the conversion of PSVs Bram Búzios and Bram Brasília, at Navship Shipyard (SC).

Alfanave Transportes Marítimos also obtained priority for repair and for class certification and conversion of the PSV Campos Clipper, also at Navship, with a total value of R$ 12.8 million. Baru Offshore secured priority, of R$ 6.7 million, for repair and maintenance of a UT-4000 type vessel named Providência, at São Miguel Shipyard (RJ).

In inland navigation, SC Transportes obtained priority, amounting to R$ 53.7 million, for the construction of an inland convoy consisting of an azimuthal tugboat, three box-type barge carriers, and six raked barge carriers, at the Rio Maguari Shipyard (PA). Transdourada Navegação received priority for the construction, also at ERM, of 60 barge carriers, being 36 box-type and 24 raked-type, with a total value of R$ 202 million.

The Board of Directors of the Merchant Marine Fund also approved monetary updates for Louis Dreyfus Company for previously prioritized projects from July 2015. One of them relates to the construction of an inland tugboat at the Ceará Naval Industry Shipyard (Inace), with a total value of R$ 1.46 million. The other corresponds to a monetary update and resource supplementation for the construction, at the same shipyard, of two inland tugboats, with a total value of R$ 12.55 million.

The Board of Directors of the Merchant Marine Fund Cancels Financial Support Due to the Expiration of the Financing Contract Period.

One of them was for modernization and repair of four PSVs/OSRVs (Trindade Island, Macaé, Martin Vaz, and NS Loreto) from Oceanpact, whose priority had been granted in July 2019.

Another two, approved in March of last year, one of which was for the construction of five Suezmax tankers for South American Tanker Company (Satco). The council also canceled the priority related to the construction of a floating grain transshipment terminal, four inland tugboats of 1,800 BHP, a 600 BHP support boat, and 18 barge carriers of 2,000 TPB, for Mega Logística Serviços Portuários.

The CDFMM also canceled two priorities granted in December 2020 and January 2021. The first concerns resources for the construction of the Jurong Aracruz Shipyard, located in the municipality of Aracruz (ES). The second corresponds to the maintenance and repair of 16 PSVs from Wilson Sons Ultratug, at the Wilson Sons group shipyard in Guarujá (SP). The priority of R$ 1.46 billion for the construction of the shipyard had been postponed since 2018. The maintenance of the offshore support vessels received R$ 92 million in priority from the CDFMM in March 2020, in a request initially presented in 2018.
