Ladies in the lead
Two hardworking women are heading two Norwegian companies that have found the path to success in the south of Brazil.
A Norwegian delegation visited Rio Grande do Sul, shipyards and the Naval Cluster Fair in Rio Grande from March 10-14, and representatives from the two companies Norsafe and Palfinger were both present in the 15 man strong delegation to the south.
The story about the Norwegian crane producer Palfinger Dreggen, former Bergen Group Dreggen, has been used as an example of success on several occasions. Lifeboat manufacturer Norsafe is now following in the footsteps of Palfinger, and enjoying great success in Brazil, by forming alliances with a Brazilian counterpart.

Touring booming shipyards in RS
Norwegian delegation visits the busy ERG and Quip shipyards in Rio Grande, RS.
The Norwegian delegation visiting Rio Grande do Sul this week was given a full tour to the booming shipyards of the small city of Rio Grande on March 11, 2014. The Norwegian delegation is in Rio Grande do Sul to visit the Naval Cluster Fair in Rio Grande and get an overview of plans and projects in the naval industry in the region.
The Rio Grande shipyard (ERG) is currently manufacturing 8 FPSO hulls and 3 drill ships for Petrobras and Sete Brasil. Quip made the headlines last year for having three platforms under construction at the same time. The platforms built at Quip and delivered to Petrobras in 2013/2014 will increase the company´s oil production by 25 per cent! Quite amazing when you take into account that eight years ago, there where no shipbuilding activities in the region. Petrobras has placed 36 per cent of its ship orders in shipyards in Rio Grande, making the naval hub in the region among the most important in Brazil, even though the town of Rio Grande only has about 200.000 inhabitants.
