North Yorkshire manufacturer Ellis supplies major Brazilian offshore project

North Yorkshire-based manufacturer Ellis have supplied a major Brazilian offshore project; with Campo Grande-based Prática Engenharia Ltda selecting them for installation on a storage offloading vessel.

The specification for the vessel, which is being built in Brazil for use in the development of pre-salt projects in the Santos basin, was secured by Ellis’ Brazilian distributor, Macaé-based Polar Componentes e Sistemas Offshore.

Tony Conroy, export director for Ellis, said: “Our market is growing increasingly competitive, but it is extremely reassuring to still regularly be winning contracts of this magnitude as a result of product quality and the tried, tested and trusted reputation Ellis enjoys across the world.”

“We are delighted with the work Polar did in securing this specification.

“And we look forward to working even more closely over the forthcoming months to secure orders of a similar nature for the remaining seven vessels.”

Petrobras is the world’s fourth largest company – a status it earned when it moved from full state ownership to semi-public ownership following a $72billion stockmarket float in 2010.
