The projects for the new vessels were included among the fund’s priority initiatives, an essential instrument for the development of the shipping industry and the maritime sector in Brazil. The measure paves the way for the advancement of the contracting and construction stages of the units, which should reinforce the company’s operational capacity in strategic ports.
With a relevant presence in the port towage segment, Saam has been investing in the renewal of its fleet, following the evolution of ship sizes, operational requirements and demands for greater efficiency and safety in maneuvers.
The inclusion of projects in the FMM also signals institutional confidence in the technical and economic viability of the new vessels, in addition to contributing to the generation of jobs and stimulation of the Brazilian naval chain.
The deadlines for starting construction and delivering the tugboats still depend on the progress of contractual procedures and the definition of the shipyards responsible for the works.
