Forship further expands its presence in the Northeast of Brazil

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.

HMSWeb: 52 active projects

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.

Diversity in celebration

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.

Our pillars

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. Fabio Fares President and CEO of Grupo Forship

Health, Safety, and Inclusion

A month of heightened attention to health and people at the Forship Group April was a month marked by initiatives that reinforce Forship’s commitment to health, safety, inclusion, and people development. HR coordinator Clarice Diniz highlights that all actions are part of a continuous agenda that runs throughout the year — from White January to physical health campaigns, International Women’s Day activities, and self-care initiatives. “April expanded this movement, reinforcing holistic care for our employees and building healthier, more welcoming environments,” she says. In celebration of World Health Day, we hosted the talk “You Are What You Eat: Transform Your Habits,” with nutritionist Michele Miranda. “The topic sought to reinforce how diet directly influences our health, safety, and performance. We discussed practical choices that help maintain energy, focus, and well-being throughout the day, as well as strategies to prevent lifestyle-related diseases. It was an important moment to strengthen health awareness and encourage more balanced habits among employees,” said occupational safety technician Valéria Azevedo. During Green April, we reinforced occupational health and safety awareness through group discussions at projects in Brazil and abroad, as well as videos featuring field employees sharing accounts of safe behaviors that prevented real incidents. The initiative recognized attitudes that make a difference and strengthen a culture of prevention. In Blue April, we held the talk “Autism and Other Differences: Understanding to Welcome and Include,” led by specialists from Solarys Terapias and open to employees’ family members as well. The event covered neurodevelopmental signs, workplace accommodations, and ways to promote inclusion. It was accompanied by the booklet “Autism and Other Differences,” with practical guidance for daily life. Closing out the month, we launched the Leadership Training Track with the session “What’s Allowed and What’s Not in Management,” bringing together directors, managers, and coordinators. The training covered strategic communication, mental health, ethics, harassment prevention, psychosocial risks, and legal aspects of management, reinforcing Forship’s culture and meeting the requirements of NR 01 and client standards.

Our Female Strength

Celebrating Women’s Month means reinforcing Grupo Forship’s commitment to a safer, fairer, and more welcoming environment, recognizing the strength and leadership of women who drive our journey forward. The initiatives in March reinforce the company’s commitment to expanding opportunities, promoting equity, and building an environment where more women can grow and lead. “The program we developed brings together educational and recognition initiatives to give visibility to women’s trajectories, promote equity, and strengthen a culture of respect and inclusion,” notes Anita Figueiredo, Human Resources Manager at Grupo Forship. Program and initiatives “The initiatives combine symbolic visibility and learning: the desktop wallpaper reinforces identity and recognition; the lecture promotes reflection and practical tools; the historical capsule inspires female leadership; and the booklet guides behaviors and internal policies. The goal is to turn knowledge into everyday actions that make the environment fairer and safer,” emphasizes the HR manager.

For a healthy company

Investing in people’s health and well-being is essential for a company’s sustainability. That’s why we began the year by reaffirming our commitment to employees’ mental and emotional health, integrating practical actions, prevention, and regulatory compliance to promote well-being and safety at work. “The January White campaign reflected this commitment through educational initiatives, welcoming spaces, and ongoing communication. We created the Self-Care Corner at construction sites and units — Headquarters (Rio), Itaboraí (RJ), Parauapebas (PA), Santos (SP), and Yekepa (Liberia) — as a space for pause and reflection, with continuous engagement from teams.” In addition, we launched the #KnowledgePills series and lectures aimed at increasing the ability to recognize warning signs and encourage responsible guidance. Committed to holistic health, we also promoted diversity and sustainability initiatives that reinforce our ESG positioning. These actions by Grupo Forship meet the requirements of NR-1, the foundation of all Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, as well as the Risk Management Program (PGR), addressing psychosocial risks with the same priority as physical safety measures, in order to strengthen a culture of care and conscious decision-making. This set of initiatives aims not only to reduce absenteeism, increase engagement, and ensure project continuity, but also to safeguard the physical, mental, and emotional health of our human capital.
