The Brazilian Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels Institute (IBP) and Petrobras, in partnership with APEX Brazil, promoted on Tuesday (07/05), in Houston (Texas, United States), a meeting between Brazilian suppliers and international investors to foster new business opportunities in the naval sector. The event took place parallel to the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), the largest oil and gas sector fair, being held in Houston.

The "Maritime Industries Connections – Brazil Offshore Energy Sector Roundtable Business Meeting – Brazilian Shipyards Map" brought together industry leaders to discuss strategic partnerships aimed at revitalizing and modernizing the Brazilian naval and maritime industry. The meeting was attended by IBP President Roberto Ardenghy, Petrobras' Director of Engineering, Technology, and Innovation, Carlos José Travassos, and Petrobras President Jean Paul Prates.

"We always aim to support the national industry to expand its competitiveness and business opportunities. This initiative is an opportunity for Brazilian companies to strengthen their commitment to delivering quality and excellence within a segmented, vibrant market increasingly focused on low-carbon solutions," Ardenghy commented.

"For the first time, we are promoting a meeting between the main Brazilian and foreign suppliers in the offshore industry. Sitting together at the same table, national shipyards will have the opportunity to showcase to their international peers their construction capabilities and ability to partner with foreign companies," said Jean Paul Prates.

"We are aware of the potential of national shipyards to meet Petrobras' demands and see an opportunity for growth in this segment. With this initiative, we are bringing together players who can work together to ensure compliance with local content requirements stipulated in contracts," stated Carlos Travassos.

The meeting brought together 36 companies from Brazil and 18 from other countries, as well as sector entities.

Shipyard Map

Recently, in a joint effort with associated companies and Sinaval, IBP launched the Shipyard Map, which consists of an intuitive panel with the opportunity to filter research by shipyards capable of producing FPSOs, different vessels, or to display their data, such as geographical position, steel handling capacity, and size throughout Brazil, always updated in real-time. The goal is for shipowners, oil companies, and investors to be familiar with all shipyard infrastructure in the country.
