Mauá Shipyard advances plans to strengthen its market position

Mauá Shipyard has announced the completion of three strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening its position in the shipbuilding and offshore markets. The measures include obtaining Tax Clearance Certificates (Certidões Negativas de Débito, or CNDs), achieving compliance with the NORSOK M-501 standard for coating systems 7B and 7C, and modernizing its planning and control system.

According to the company, the tax clearance certificates were obtained after more than 15 years, confirming the regularization of its municipal, state and federal tax obligations. The achievement removes an important barrier to the shipyard’s participation in public tenders and government procurement processes.

In May 2026, the shipyard also obtained certification of compliance with NORSOK M-501 for coating systems 7B and 7C, an international standard widely adopted by the oil and gas industry. To achieve the certification, Mauá invested in workforce training and a dedicated temperature-controlled painting facility designed to support offshore and subsea applications.

The company has also implemented a new planning and control model that combines traditional project management practices with agile methodologies. According to Mauá, the system uses technology and artificial intelligence to manage its project portfolio more efficiently, with the aim of improving operational performance and delivery predictability.

“After more than 15 years, Mauá and EISA shipyards have obtained their Tax Clearance Certificates from the municipal, state and federal authorities. This achievement is the result of a lengthy negotiation process through which we were able to renegotiate and restructure all of the shipyards’ tax liabilities. It represents an important step in the consolidation of our judicial reorganization plan, allowing us to participate in government tenders and supporting our return to the shipbuilding sector,” said Miro Arantes Filho, CEO of Mauá Shipyard.
