Forship Group’s participation in ROG.e 2026 marked a special moment in the company’s history. After a few years without a booth of its own, our return to the largest oil and gas event in the Americas, which welcomed 83,000 visitors and brought together more than 670 exhibitors, symbolizes a new cycle of institutional repositioning and the evolution of the Forship brand. The company has been present at the main editions of ROG since its first participation in 2002, following the strategic movements of the Brazilian O&G industry across seven editions of the event (the most recent in 2018). Returning with our own booth reinforces our identity, our maturity and our renewed commitment to innovation, technology and operational excellence. The Forship booth became a space for connection and belonging, bringing together employees, clients, partners and market representatives in an environment of exchange, relationship-building and celebration. More than simply being there, we reaffirmed our culture, our values and Forship’s role in building solutions that drive the future of the industry, such as the application of the HMSWeb platform to inspections, which we presented for the first time at this edition. This participation in ROG.e 2026 symbolizes not just a return, but a step forward: Forship continues to evolve, strengthening its brand and expanding its contribution to the oil and gas sector.

Forship Group takes part in the largest oil & gas and energy event in the Americas Forship Group took part in ROG.e 2026, returning to one of the most important oil & gas and energy industry events in the world, which welcomed 83,000 visitors from September 21 to 24 at Riocentro, in Rio de Janeiro. Forship and HMSWeb Tecnologia da Informação showcased solutions and projects that reflect their expertise and operational excellence, and welcomed clients and partners at their 50 m² booth in Pavilion 4. This was the eighth time Forship Group has been present at ROG.e, which featured more than 670 exhibitors, 100 sponsors, 57 startups and 924 technical papers presented at the congress. “We wanted to share this new cycle, marked by the consolidation of a robust portfolio of services for the O&G and Energy industry, covering the entire life cycle, from the very beginning, with commissioning engineering, in which we are an international benchmark, to asset operation and maintenance, including assets undergoing decommissioning,” said Fabio Fares, President and CEO of Forship Group. Offshore route At the event, Forship Group highlighted the expansion of its offshore operations, where it is responsible for the integrated operation and maintenance of 38 platforms undergoing decommissioning in the Sergipe-Alagoas and Ceará basins, the largest fleet ever awarded to a non-operator company for the O&M of these assets. Since 2024, the company has also been responsible for the operation and maintenance of cranes, load-handling equipment and accessories, as well as industrial cleaning, on ten offshore units in the Santos and Campos basins, including pre-salt replicant FPSOs and strategic units such as the Roncador Maintenance and Safety Unit (UMS). Onshore, it showcased its strength as the company responsible for the continuous operation of the country’s largest Natural Gas Processing Unit (NGPU), integrated with the Rota 3 gas pipeline at the Boaventura Energy Complex in Itaboraí (RJ). It also reaffirmed its long-standing leadership in commissioning engineering, supported by proprietary technologies such as HMSWeb, a commissioning engineering management platform now licensed worldwide by HMSWeb Tecnologia da Informação. “It is a digital solution widely used not only by the oil and gas industry, in both offshore and onshore projects, but also by a range of other sectors, including energy, shipbuilding, mining, and pulp and paper,” says Luciano Gaete, Executive Director of HMSWeb and IT Director of Forship Group. The booth became a meeting point for employees, clients and partners, reinforcing the company’s role as a national benchmark in O&M, engineering and critical asset management. It also reflected Forship Group’s presence in the oil and gas industry, for which ROG.e is the biggest showcase.

In-person and online activities reflect Forship Group’s commitment to the well-being of its people Yellow September highlights the importance of talking about mental health, support and suicide prevention. At Forship Group, this topic is taken seriously and aligned with the guidelines of NR-1, the Brazilian regulatory standard that identifies psychosocial risks as an essential part of occupational health and safety management. “Our current Occupational Health structure monitors employees’ health and promotes prevention initiatives, campaigns and training,” notes Jéssica Ximenes, QHSE Coordinator. “The company has been building ongoing initiatives focused on employee well-being, recognizing that healthy environments are built every day,” says the coordinator, highlighting the constant attention given to work-related psychosocial risk factors and the expansion of initiatives that are already part of the corporate routine. Risk factors For Yellow September, the company organized a talk in partnership with CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida), Brazil’s emotional support and suicide prevention service, to raise awareness, promote prevention and encourage people to seek support. Initiatives under evaluation include mapping psychosocial risk factors, new training programs and expanded support resources. She also notes that Yellow September inspires practical day-to-day guidance: recognizing signs of stress, respecting rest periods, setting boundaries, keeping communication open and seeking support when needed. “For leaders, paying attention to signs of overload, active listening and giving feedback responsibly are essential,” adds Jéssica Ximenes. Taking care of mental health is a shared responsibility. By strengthening prevention initiatives and fostering more humane working relationships, Forship reaffirms its commitment to valuing people, a value that underpins its culture and guides its work.

We reach the midpoint of the year with the certainty that we have moved forward with purpose, unity, and excellence. Every step taken so far reflects the energy of our teams, the consistency of our culture, and the vision for the future that drives us. We celebrate winning the new contract with Petrobras, which reaffirms our credibility and our ability to deliver value with safety and quality. HMSWeb© continues to grow: more than 50 projects are now running simultaneously on the platform, demonstrating its maturity and the impact of our innovation. We also celebrate Forship’s 28th anniversary, a journey built by people who believe in what they do and who turn challenges into opportunities. This spirit is present in our advances in digitalization, efficiency, and innovation, which strengthen our competitiveness and expand our ability to deliver consistent results. We remain firmly committed to health and safety, promoting awareness and care campaigns that reinforce an essential value of our culture: protecting and respecting people. And we are proud to see growing integration among teams, projects, and units in Brazil and abroad. Every achievement has one thing in common: you. The dedication, talent, and passion of each Forship employee are what allow us to celebrate today and envision an even stronger tomorrow. Let’s continue moving forward together — with courage, innovation, and operational excellence — building the future we deserve. Fabio Fares President and CEO of Forship Group

New offshore Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contract with Petrobras covers 13 fixed shallow-water platforms located in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. Forship has just secured a strategic contract with Petrobras to carry out integrated operation, maintenance, inspection, and decommissioning services on fixed platforms in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará (RNCE), strengthening its offshore operations in the Northeast and consolidating its position as a national benchmark in O&M. “This achievement reinforces Petrobras’s confidence in Forship’s technical, operational, and management capabilities, further establishing the company as a benchmark in integrated offshore operations,” says Marco Kronemberger, Operations Director of Forship Group. The new contract with Petrobras’s Decommissioning Asset Management Department (GAD) covers a comprehensive range of services essential to the safe decommissioning of offshore facilities: operation, maintenance, and inspection of production systems and facilities; removal of metal structures, piping, equipment, and valves; construction and assembly of metal structures; and support services, operational assistance, supply of goods, and equipment rental. Forship will operate on 13 (thirteen) fixed platforms installed in the Atum, Xaréu, Curimã, and Pescada fields in Ceará, and in the Agulha and Biquara fields in Rio Grande do Norte, all currently undergoing decommissioning. Mobilization & Onboarding Executing the contract required mobilizing approximately 500 professionals. “This demanded rigorous planning and integrated coordination across the company’s various areas,” says Project Manager Raylton Ricarte Jales, who is leading this challenge. To ensure team qualification and alignment, Forship carried out an onboarding process in Paracuru (CE) and Guamaré (RN), reinforcing organizational culture, HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) guidelines, operational standards, and performance expectations. “This ensures that all professionals begin their work aligned with the standards required by Petrobras and with our own principles,” the manager adds. Impact on operations The mobilization and start-up of the new contract have a direct impact on the regional production chain and strengthen the logistical infrastructure needed for offshore activities — including support vessels, maintenance resources, and specialized equipment — while also creating opportunities for professionals in the region. More than mobilizing people, Forship Group brings together knowledge, experience, and commitment to deliver a safe, efficient operation aligned with the highest standards of performance and process safety — pillars that have sustained the company’s reputation throughout its trajectory in the offshore sector.

The Brazilian technology solution now has an established presence in eight countries The Brazilian platform HMSWeb© has reached an unprecedented milestone: 52 simultaneously active projects, spread across nine countries and serving some of the largest players in the oil and gas, mining, energy, and steel sectors. For Luciano Gaete, CEO of HMSWeb Tecnologia da Informação and CIO of Forship Group, the number represents more than just scale. “This milestone demonstrates the trust our clients place in HMSWeb,” he states, noting that the platform operates “across different geographies, languages, cultures, and execution methodologies, while maintaining the same standard of performance, safety, and traceability.” International presence The projects currently active are spread across Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Canada, Mexico, Oman, Malaysia, and Liberia, serving clients such as Vale, Techint, MISC, Siemens, Suzano, Bracell, WestRock, Toyo Setal, Afry, LD Celulose, Samarco, Braskem, Cargill, ADM, and ArcelorMittal. “I believe HMSWeb is the only one with such a diverse track record. This demonstrates, in practice, HMSWeb’s flexibility, robustness, and ability to adapt to projects of different sizes, complexities, and industrial segments,” he observes. Continuous evolution Conceived and initially developed back in Forship’s early days, in 1998, HMSWeb© has evolved over the past 19 years from an internal, proprietary tool into a commercial product. “HMSWeb was created to solve a specific problem: organizing and controlling one of the most critical moments in an industrial project’s lifecycle,” he explains. Over time, the solution moved beyond being just a commissioning tool and became an important link integrating the entire EPC cycle — from engineering to assisted operation. “The natural evolution was to transform HMSWeb into a platform capable of integrating planning, engineering, construction, quality, mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, and assisted operation,” the executive emphasizes. Recent areas of development Full integration Gaete recalls the case of Techint, which has used HMSWeb since the early stages of its projects to track process integration throughout the entire EPC cycle. “Today, clients are looking for visibility from the earliest phases of engineering all the way through plant start-up, with integrated information, full traceability, mobility, automation, productivity gains, and reliable indicators to support decision-making,” he points out. Forship Group’s vision is to further expand the platform’s role within the digital ecosystem of industrial projects. Technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation are also expected to drive the evolution of the HMS suite. “Our goal remains the same as it was 19 years ago: to help our clients implement and operate their projects more safely, efficiently, and predictably,” concludes Luciano Gaete.

Festivities become a moment for connection and team building A company with teams working across different regions of the country — and even on other continents — experiences diversity every day. That’s why Forship Group takes every opportunity to celebrate this plurality. The June and July festivities represent yet another moment to express this Brazilian spirit. “We understand that these celebratory dates are opportunities for team integration and for strengthening our sense of unity. With that in mind, we encourage get-togethers and the sharing of photos and memories, especially around the date that most reflects local culture, São João,” says Hudson Azevedo, General Projects Manager at Forship Group. The teams supporting Petrobras’s operations in the Santos and Sergipe-Alagoas basins, along with the team working at the São Paulo Regasification Terminal, celebrated the date and used the moment to come together. In the Northeast, the celebrations were literally fueled by music and regional cuisine, including the traditional beiju molhado (a moist tapioca cake), one of Hudson’s favorites. Strengthening bonds and belonging Bringing people closer together, strengthening bonds among team members, and showcasing a bit of the culture and energy that are part of everyday life are some of the goals behind these celebrations at each unit. “Our project demands a great deal from everyone. We’re constantly focused on deliverables, deadlines, and operational challenges, which leaves fewer opportunities for interaction outside of our routine activities. These celebrations create exactly that kind of space to connect,” explains engineering assistant Byanca Brendler Peixoto de Pinho, from the team supporting operations in the Santos basin. Japanese project manager Yoshiyuki Ohara has embraced these celebrations precisely because of what they represent: a great opportunity to bring people together and strengthen team integration. And when different cultures come together, the moment becomes even more special. For Byanca, this cultural diversity makes the work environment richer and more dynamic, bringing together different experiences, ideas, and ways of thinking. This broadens collaboration, creativity, and respect, creating a lighter, more inclusive, and more productive atmosphere. Team of Champions The team working at TRSP came together for “Cantinho Junino – Equipe de Milhões” (“June Corner – Team of a Thousand Kernels”), an event that combined the tradition of the Festa Junina with an initiative to recognize and value team members. “Each employee was invited to write their name on a corn kernel cutout and place it on the ‘Team of a Thousand Kernels’ board. The idea was to show that every person contributes to our results, and that the operation’s success is built collectively,” explains supply and logistics analyst Michelle Cristina de Oliveira Bezerra. “It was a simple idea, but the board quickly filled up as employees embraced it and took part spontaneously.” In addition to the board, everyone enjoyed traditional Festa Junina treats, such as paçoquinha (a peanut candy) and pé de moleque (a peanut brittle). No matter where the team is based, there’s a shared understanding that cultural diversity brings different experiences, stories, and perspectives into the workplace. Celebrating traditions like the Festa Junina is a way of honoring this cultural richness, promoting integration, and strengthening a more collaborative, respectful, and welcoming environment for everyone.

The consolidation of the partnership between the Forship Group and Edge, through a new contract related to TRSP, reaffirms the trust built over the past four years and highlights our ability to deliver highly complex solutions for essential operations in the energy sector. This relationship is grounded in performance, responsibility, commitment, and a long-term vision—qualities that have also defined our partnership with Vale, which has been using HMSWeb for more than 15 years. Vale’s recommendation that Engeform adopt the same platform for the Rio Tanque Water Treatment Plant (ETA Rio Tanque) project in Itabira, Minas Gerais, further strengthens the Group’s technical credibility in the field of digital commissioning. The recommendation resulted not only in the licensing of the HMSWeb platform but also in the hiring of Forship’s commissioning consultancy services. Our expertise played a key role in structuring processes for a project that is vital to regional water security and sustainability. The trust placed in Forship by its clients is directly reflected in the way the company cares for its greatest asset: its people. Continuous initiatives focused on health, safety, inclusion, and professional development demonstrate that Forship applies internally the same standards of excellence, responsibility, and commitment that it delivers in every project. The expansion of these partnerships confirms that Forship continues to grow because it consistently delivers excellence—and it delivers excellence because it invests in the people who make it all possible.
