One Energy #20: People, Markets and an Industry in Motion
What is changing across Brazil’s offshore, maritime and energy industries?
Issue 20 of One Energy brings together different answers to that question — through people, companies, markets and some of the decisions currently reshaping the sector.
Aldo Manoel Pedro Júnior revisits the beginning of Navship and the challenge of helping build one of Brazil’s most important offshore shipyards from the ground up.
We look at the recovery of Brazilian shipbuilding through Navalshore 2026, while another analysis goes deeper into Petrobras’ cancelled AHTS newbuild tender — after 12 extensions, changing specifications and a complex financing equation.
The edition also examines Seacor Marine and a provocative question: can a company’s fleet be worth more than the company operating it?
More than a year after a major engine room fire, we follow the return of Bram Force to offshore operations in Brazil after an extensive repair program at Navship — a story about what it takes to bring a complex offshore asset back into service.
Fernando Vilela writes about principles, reputation and the real price of taking a stand when saying “no” begins to have professional consequences, while Luis Fernando Priolli examines the complex balance between mining, economic development and environmental preservation in Brazil.
Mauá Shipyard offers another perspective on the recovery of Brazil’s naval industry, following important steps involving tax regularization, offshore coating certification and modernization of its project management structure.
And in downtown Rio de Janeiro, we revisit Edise — one of Petrobras’ most recognizable landmarks — as the building begins a new chapter more than five decades after its inauguration.
There is much more throughout the edition: offshore vessels, acquisitions, shipyards, fleet movements and the stories behind an industry in transition.
People. Markets. Technology. History. Industry.
