Victory!
ECOVIX strikes again.

With the best equalized rate per vessel, ECOVIX leads the opening round in the dispute for the Transpetro MR1 tanker package, outbidding India’s SDHI and China’s DSOC (Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore).

Once again, the Brazilian industry demonstrates that, under clear and transparent equalization criteria, local shipbuilding can compete head-to-head with major international yards.

This marks the first stage of the tender process, where commercial proposals are opened and equalized. The qualification phase now follows.

Scale matters. With nine large vessels already underway for Transpetro, ECOVIX continues to build momentum and reinforce Brazil’s shipbuilding capability — with solid market alignment behind the project.

An encouraging signal for the Brazilian shipbuilding industry.

More to be disclosed soon.
