Removal Activities of Over 100 Thousand Tons of Structures That Belonged to P71 and P72 Are Being Sold as Scrap and Are Expected to Generate About 400 Jobs Within the Rio Grande Shipyard in Southern Brazil

According to Click Petroleum and Gas, last month, Ecovix has started selling as scrap the structures of platforms P71 and P72, whose contracts were canceled and restarted in China.
In order to dismantle the structures, Ecovix, the administrator of the Rio Grande Shipyard, estimates the creation of 400 jobs to carry out the task, which for its management is essential for cleaning up the shipyard area and the future resumption of activities in the Gaucho naval hub.

The structures are being auctioned off gradually, but Ecovix estimates that a total of 100 thousand tons of steel will need to be dismantled from the platforms and auctioned as scrap.
The activity is expected to last about a year, and at the moment, Ecovix is waiting for the auctions to conclude before starting the dismantling of the structures.

Judicial Recovery

The sales of steel from platforms P71 and P72 began in April and are part of Ecovix’s judicial recovery plan, approved in August 2018 by the court.

According to Ecovix’s operations director, Ricardo Ávila, the steel auctions are an essential part of the company’s recovery plan, while Laurence Medeiros, representative of Medeiros & Medeiros Judicial Administration, lamented the cutting of a platform that was almost in floating condition in the shipyard’s dock.

Both emphasized the importance that the activity holds for the future of the company, which, seeking diversification of its activities, obtained, early this year, permission in the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande to operate as a Port Terminal, exporting solid bulk of plant origin, such as wood chips.
