ARPOADOR SHIPYARD

Arpoador Shipyard, also known as Arpoador Engenharia, located in the city of Guarujá, on the coast of the state of São Paulo, can be considered a small to mid-size yard, with a total area of 75,000 sq. m.The shipyard’s activities increased significantly after it was awarded a series of contracts to build three different FSV models to Petrobras’ specifications. “Since the beginning of activities in Guaruja, we have already delivered nine boats; four P2 type, three P3 type and two of UT4000 type. Currently we are producing two DSVs, in this case, shallow water dive supply vessels (SDSV), which are pioneers boats in the Brazilian offshore market for shallow diving support and equipped with DP-2 system. We have a production capacity to build six boats simultaneously (Up to 50 x 10 m),” said Flavio. All the vessels were originally designed by Incat Crowther. “Our design projects are acquired from an American company, we bought the basic design and did all the detailing, electric and hydraulic projects with our team of engineers.”
