At Industry Event, Vice President Reveals How National Ships Can Become the Key for Brazil to Overcome Trade Barriers and Strengthen the Economy.

Amid a government plan to respond to the tariff implemented by the United States, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin pointed to the shipbuilding industry as a central piece for the future of Brazilian foreign trade. The strategy, according to him, is to strengthen the sector to expand partnerships and add value to exports.

The Shipbuilding Industry as a Strategic Response

The federal government is studying a reaction to the U.S. tariff, and one of the main strategies is the redirecting of Brazilian exports to other global markets. In this scenario, Geraldo Alckmin positioned the shipbuilding industry as a promising solution.

According to the vice president, ships manufactured in the country are the key. “Ships built in national territory position Brazil as a provider of integrated solutions in construction, training, and technological support,” he stated. He emphasized that this capability opens doors for new partnerships and, crucially, for a “export agenda with higher added value”.

The statement was made during the Launch of the Frigate Jerônimo de Albuquerque, in Navegantes (SC), an event that was attended by Defense Minister José Múcio. Alckmin reinforced that strengthening the sector is essential to sustain the country’s trade routes.

For him, investment transcends the economy and touches on a vital point for the country. “Investing in sovereignty reverberates in transversal transformation, in generating wealth for the Brazilian people,” concluded Alckmin, directly connecting the advancement of the shipbuilding industry to national strengthening.

O Alckmin virou piadista.
O setor naval brasileiro é INVIÁVEL. Não tem ESCALA. Não tem como competir com os gigantes chineses e sul-coreanos nesse setor, sem um pesado SUBSÍDIO PÚBLICO. Se é para fabricar navio com prejuízo, bancado com o dinheiro do contribuinte, melhor não fazer, e investir esse dinheiro em infraestrutura (rodovias, ferrovias e metrôs). Isso sim, geraria benefícios duradouros.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Brazil presents what is being described as the world’s first engine designed to generate electricity on a large scale using almost only ethanol, in a project inaugurated at the Suape II thermoelectric plant in Pernambuco, in partnership with the Finnish company Wärtsilä.

Capable of hitting vessels hundreds of kilometers away at supersonic speed and drastically reducing enemy reaction time, the BrahMos arrives in Vietnam under an agreement that includes pilot training by India and aims to create a deterrent arc in front of the disputed islands with China.

ENEM 2026 deadline worries students: even with exemption approved, registration must be confirmed by June 5 to ensure participation

War in Iran raises fertilizer prices, triggers alert in Brazilian agribusiness, and leads the government to seek new suppliers to avoid impacts on the harvest.

Brazil begins to transform wheat, residues, sweet potatoes, and soy molasses into ethanol, in a new phase of biofuels that seeks to utilize leftovers from the field and industry to fuel flex-fuel cars.
