Representing Sinaval, where he has served as Vice President since 2019, Maurício participated in the panel “Setting the Scene in Brazil: An Anticipation of What Is Coming” on May 5 and delivered the opening remarks at the “Maritime Industries Connections: Brazil Offshore Energy Sector – Roundtable Business Meeting” the following day. The event gathered prominent figures from the industry, including Magda Chambriard, President of Petrobras; Renata Baruzzi, Director of Engineering and Innovation at Petrobras; and Roberto Ardenghy, President of the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP), among others.

In his speech, Almeida presented the infrastructure developed in Brazil through investments in shipyards and construction sites across the country, highlighting the strong capacity for mobilizing skilled labor in various regions. According to him, this is a valuable opportunity for Brazil to showcase its capabilities and expertise to key players in the global energy industry. “We are a continental country, with extensive installed capacity and a qualified workforce capable of meeting a significant portion of the local demand for oil production platforms (FPSOs),” he stated.

Also representing the Novonor Group were Tenenge’s Business Director, Marcelo Neves, and the President of the Enseada shipyard, Ricardo Ricardi, who showcased the strengths of the partnership between the two companies in meeting the demands of Brazil’s offshore construction sector.
