Huisman, specialist in lifting, drilling and subsea solutions, will build a new production facility in Brazil, which will be used for the manufacturing of construction equipment for the Brazilian offshore market.
The new facility will be located alongside the river Itajai-Açu in the city of Navegantes in Santa Catarina state, a state in the southern part of Brazil bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
Operational in Second Half of 2013
The first investment phase includes over 15,000 square meter of production facilities. The next investment phase will include a 200 m long quay side with an artificial bay to protect vessels from the seasonal river’s high currents. With the quayside in place, the Brazil facility will be easily accessible for seagoing vessels. The new production facility is planned to be operational in the second half of 2013.
