Shipping

Staying on top of developments in the rapidly expanding Brazilian shipping and ports sector takes up-to-the-minute professional knowledge. Our integrated team of specialists is continuously active in regulatory, contractual, tax, labor, environmental, arbitration and litigation matters in the field.

Shipyards, ship owners, shipping companies, financial institutions and multilateral agencies are among the domestic and international players we advise.

• Transactions involving Merchant Marine Fund (FMM) financing for the execution of shipping and shipyard projects 
• Assistance to financial institutions in the financing, construction and operation of shipyards
• Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the construction of shipyards, drilling rigs, floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs), thugs, barges, and other service/support vessels  
• Tenders, bidding processes and negotiations with the Petrobras group for the construction, chartering and operation of FPSOs, rigs, service vessels and tankers, among other offshore and maritime service-related tenders

We also offer guidance in connection with regulatory work before the National Agency for Water Transport (ANTAQ). The team helps clients obtain permits to operate as Brazilian shipping companies and undertakes the procedures required to allow foreign vessels to operate in Brazil.
