“Brazil is not for amateurs and, sometimes, it seems it is not for shipowners either.”
What does it take to build a maritime company in that environment? And how far does Tarik Darian intend to take NAVVIK?
In One Energy Magazine #21, NAVVIK’s CEO discusses the transition from the former Maersk Supply Service Brazil operation, the decisions behind his career and the ambitions driving the company.
Led by brothers Tarik and Omar Darian alongside Heitor Gioppo, NAVVIK combines decades of industry experience with a new identity. Its goal is to establish itself as a premium operator, with a focus on quality, people and operational excellence.
But its plans extend beyond Brazil.
“If I tell you my real ambition, you will call me crazy.”
With more than 30 years in the industry, Darian reflects on his journey from Chief Engineer to executive leadership, building Transmar and the risks behind decisions that could have cost him everything.
Why did he pause a PhD at Texas A&M to take on NAVVIK? What made salvage work his most challenging experience at sea? And what does Brazil’s offshore industry need to sustain its current momentum?
