Our shipyard is located in Guarujá, in the State of São Paulo, and has a transport way/dyke complex 205 meters long, with 16 meters of opening and a docking capacity of up to 1500 tons of light weight (all of our vessels conform with such weighing).

Due to legal restrictions on the use of foreign vessels in Brazil, access to reliable shipyards providing quality services and capable of meeting demands is key for companies in the Towage and Offshore segments. We believe that out shipyard represents an important competitive strength. For more information, see “Industry.”

Our shipyard is used to construct and repair vessels of our Towage and Offshore segments. We have experience in the construction of tugboats, PSV, patrol boats, ferryboats and other medium-sized steel or aluminum boats. Our shipyard is also authorized to render repair and maintenance services for support and recreation vessels, including repairs in propulsion, hydraulic, and electric systems, as well as mechanical equipment and finishing.

The equipment used in the shipyard consists of cranes with capacity of up to 50 tons, stacking machines and Computerized Numeric Control (CNC) cutting machines to cut plasma and acetylene, among others. We have maintained a strong partnership with the Dutch group Damen for over ten years, and all of our tugboats, PSV and equipment are based on Damen engineering. Damen is well known for its cutting-edge technology in tugboats, among other vessels. We have a mutually beneficial agreement with Damen whereby we only use their projects and Damen consults with us before selling their technology to other clients in Brazil.

We were the first shipyard in the naval construction industry in Brazil to receive the ISO 9000 quality certification issued by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance. We are also certified in accordance with the ISO 9001:2000 regulation.
