Shipbuilding qualification and the return of Mauá

Mauá’s receipt of the necessary tax clearance certificates strengthens its ability to participate in public and private tenders.

Tax, labor and social security regularity is generally a key qualification requirement in procurement procedures and may also affect access to financing, guarantees and public support programs.

The development may improve Mauá’s position in projects involving:

  • shipbuilding and fleet renewal
  • offshore support vessels
  • vessel repair and modernization
  • naval and maritime equipment
  • port and industrial projects

The company’s renewed qualification comes at a time when Brazil’s shipbuilding and offshore sectors are receiving increased public and private investment.
