On July 31, the shipyard, port and industrial complex at Estaleiro Enseada, in Bahia, started its first iron ore export operation.  The Star Athena docked at the shipyard terminal for the first iron ore shipment from Brazil which is produced in the municipality of Piatã.

As a result, the Enseada Shipyard, which was suspended for six years due to project cancellations, and since October 2019 is under judicial reorganization, begins the operation of the specialized terminal for iron ore exports and begins the company’s logistical operations, which will become one of its main sources for economic recovery.

The other lines are: the construction of ships that already have contracted projects and the industrial area. The logistics operation also provides for the export of iron ore from Bamin, a company with which the shipyard is already negotiating a contract to become the export terminal.

In early July, the naval company Petrocity Portos S.A announced that it signed a partnership with Estaleiro Enseada for the construction of two container ships, with financing in the amount of R$340 million, approved by the National Merchant Marine Fund. The two ships will be used for coastal shipping in 2021.
