The national shipbuilding industry is beginning to show signs of growth and its main representatives are demanding more infrastructure and development for the sector from political authorities. The president of SINAVAL, Ariovaldo Rocha, chose as his theme “The future of the naval industry, the role of industrial policy and the challenges of the sector”, which are not few. Brazil needs to develop a permanent industrial policy. “We need a state policy, not a government one”, reinforced Rocha. The professionals and specialists who were also present discussed the growth of the cabotage market and the opportunities for the shipbuilding industry for this specialty.
Job creation in the shipbuilding industry
The shipbuilding industry is undergoing unprecedented changes under the impact of the crisis, including rising logistics and equipment costs. Opportunities to build new offshore units going to international shipyards and the growing pressure from customers and the government, who are looking to spend less and make big profits, but according to Rocha, the sector has everything to grow, all you need is good planning to avoid mistakes that could cause damage and open the door to national contracts.
The Brazilian naval industry is a dynamic and competitive sector. It is important both from an economic and social point of view. He is also linked to other sectors, including transport, security, energy, research and the environment. Shipbuilding is an important and strategic industry in many countries. Shipyards contribute significantly to regional industrial infrastructure, national security interests and military shipbuilding.
