Third party EBN Services

In Brazil, it is mandatory for foreign vessel owners, to contract its services though an 'Empresa Brasileira de Navegação' or EBN. An EBN is a legal entity incorporated under Brazilian law and headquartered in Brazil, with the objective of water transport and licensed by the Brazilian Authorities.

As Brazil is a complex country to operate, choosing the right local partner will certainly pay off. Operators can easily run into costly contractual, operational, regulatory and legal issues. Besides one has to know its way around in the official governmental organizations.

GranEnergia is a Brazilian International Shipowner and Offshore Contractor, headquartered in Brazil and the Netherlands. GranEnergia has gained a wealth of local experience and know-how, operating in Brazil for many years, and is the go-to partner foreign contractors.
