Program was enacted, considered a milestone for the Brazilian energy sector. The idea of the initiative is to give dynamism and competitiveness to the resource exploration and distribution capacity in Brazil through partnership with the private sector, which is now encouraged to inject investments and technology into all stages of this chain — from improving infrastructure to operational processes . As Elísio can tell us first-hand (working directly on one of these processes), this new moment in the market has already begun: “we actively participated in the first private investment in this sector, the Celse thermoelectric plant and regasification terminal in Aracaju. In addition to this project, we have already mapped out another large investment with the entry into operation of GNA (Gás Natural do Açu) in . The supply of LNG originating from the pre-salt will make projects in this sector intensify, including an increase in LNG transport via cabotage.
Our fleet is already sized to serve phone database these new projects.” The impacts on the country's economy Attracting investments to the sector not only means boosting companies within it, but a major impact on the entire Brazilian economy. The idea is that this moment will affect our country in two important aspects for development : on the one hand, the entry of foreign private capital can strengthen the currency and serve as a lure for investments in other fundamental sectors; on the other hand, breaking the monopoly in gas distribution could lead to a drop in price, which benefits both the Brazilian population and the companies' export capacity . This impact has already been observed by the market, as Elísio points out: “we have already noticed a clear recovery in activity in this segment. After a year in with few operations linked to the sector, in the volume increased significantly. We hope for an even better and due to the latest rounds of concessions and greater participation by IOCs in auctions, decentralizing investments in the sector.

Every competition brings advances to a market area, but this is even more impactful when we talk about the energy sector — the engine that drives industry and commerce. The impacts on the O&G sector Speaking more specifically about companies in the O&G sector, we can treat the decree opening the gas market in Brazil as an era of opportunities. The perspective is that new investments will reach the order of 240 billion reais and affect the entire chain from exploration to the final consumer. This impact does not only come from concessions and direct investment, but also from the preparation of all initiatives around this moment to grow with the economy linked to O&G. Wilson Sons Rebocadores itself is an example of this, as Elísio tells us: “we participate both in the installation period of the units, providing services to EPCists and in port operations when the terminals come into operation. WS tugboats has a strong presence in this sector, with high-power tugboats equipped with FiFi 1 firefighting systems that guarantee an extra layer of safety in operations.
