Brazil<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Petrobras<\/strong> is a Brazilian company dedicated to oil exploration and exploitation. Its activity, within the scope of this project, was structured through two main companies:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Transpetro<\/strong>: responsible for the fleet of vessels operating with fuels, mainly gas and derivative tankers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sete Brasil<\/strong>: in charge of drilling rigs\u2014that is, vessels equipped with drills for well extraction, mainly in the Pre-salt<\/strong> layer in the Atlantic, off the coasts of Rio de Janeiro<\/strong> and Esp\u00edrito Santo<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    In 2014, as a result of Operation Lava Jato<\/strong>, a money laundering investigation carried out in Brazil, Sete Brasil<\/strong> ceased its activity, which led to the automatic cancellation of all its vessels. At that time, the South Atlantic Shipyard<\/strong> was working on the construction of seven drilling rigs.<\/p>\n\n

    Faced with this situation, the shipyard considered reusing the parts already manufactured for other projects or selling them as scrap or second-hand material.<\/p>\n\n

    Main functions and responsibilities of Movilex<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    It is in this context that Movilex<\/strong> decided to join the project, acquiring:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • 21,000 tons<\/strong> of naval steel blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 30,000 tons<\/strong> of plates<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Cables<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Stainless steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Carbon steel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      The various materials were cut into dimensions of 1.5 m x 1 m x 0.5 m<\/strong>, in accordance with the specifications required by clients in Spain<\/strong>. To this end, Movilex hired several specialized companies to perform the cuts according to these measurements.<\/p>\n\n

      The second-hand material that was not processed by Movilex was sent to various international destinations:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • The plates, approximately 30,000 tons<\/strong>, were exported to Egypt<\/strong> by sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The stainless steel was sent to India<\/strong> in containers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The cables were moved to a Movilex plant, where they are currently being processed by removing the plastic and coating for cable recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-48435","proyectos","type-proyectos","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/movilex.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos\/48435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/movilex.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/movilex.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyectos"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/movilex.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
