Implementation ? 1968 - 1975 ? The Þ rst offshore oil discoveries led to the import of the Þ rst 13 vessels for Petrobras.? Expansion ? 1976 - 1981 ? Bra-zilian ß eet totals 44 vessels. Petrobras transfers to Brazilian navigation compa-nies OSV ß eet operations. ? Consolidation ? 1982 - 1989 ? Op-eration of the Þ rst semi-submersible platforms. Procurement in public bid-ding for Brazilian ship owners. The Bra- zilian ß eet of Maritime Support reaches 110 vessels. ? Disarticulation ? 1990 - 1997 ? The indiscriminate opening of the market reached the shipbuilding and maritime industries. Foreign companies come to dominate the market leading to a waste of developed shipbuilding technologies and massive loss of jobs. The ß eet of OSVs with Brazilian ß ags drops to 43 vessels.? New proposal (from 1977) ? With the enactment of Law # 9432/97 provid-ing for waterway transportation, through ABEAM, Brazilian OSV companies submit a ß eet modernization program involving local construction of vessels appropriate for deep and ultra-deep wa-ter operations.? The program is being implement- ed, allowing the increase of the Brazil-ian ß eet with addition of new vessels equipped with modern facilities and equipment, appropriate to market de-mands. The program has been implemented, en-abling the enlargement of the Brazilian ß eet by adding new vessels equipped with modern equipment and facilities, meeting market requirements.Talleres Navales del Golfo Islote San Juan de Ulúa s/n91800, Veracruz, Ver.
