In recent years it has delivered large vessels, such as ships for offshore operations, approximately 90 meters long and 19 meters wide.

thyssenkrupp Estaleiro Brasil Sul uses the most modern construction processes, state-of-the-art facilities and currently has a contingent of more than 600 direct workers, a number that should reach 800 very soon.
