So much for Brazilian solidarity with Argentina. Like I have said previously, actions speak louder than words and Brazil will follow the money and not some twisted and regressive left wing ideology.

감사합니다.

Jun 03rd, 2011 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but why not attach the fleet to a Brasilian shipyard?
Not happy about all & sundry setting up their 'own' ports and shipyards in Brasil.
There is no national planning coherence in it.

”I don't see anything to contradict the merocpress (sic) story.”
Think says:
I don't see anything that substantiates, corroborates or confirms the MercoPress story.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I don't see anything either.

Why are you so negative about everything señor Think?
Jun 04th, 2011 - 09:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is positive development for Brazil.
Shouldn't affect you at all. Perhaps you are jealous of Brazil?
One thing South korea does bloody well is build giant shipyards.
Jun 04th, 2011 - 10:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brasil's strategy should be to get joint participation in building a national (PPP) commercial shipyard of the size and scope to challenge the world for orders.
And then go hunting for orders from (eg) Vale, to build the ships.
If the price is right, they will come.
Timothy Taylors .... you b*st*rd !

Thirsty anyone?

Jun 04th, 2011 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Congratulations for being able to extract such an obvious conclusion from the article, Geoff. I don't know if you've noticed this, however, but the shipyard will be built by a BR, not a KR, group. The port of Rio Grande the article mentions and says the KR firm intends to enlarge was itself built by a consorcium, named Consórcio Quip, made up of three BR enterprises: Queiroz Galvão, Ultratec, and Iesa.
The RG do S dedicated shipyard space will be for routine maintainence and repair of 25 deepwater fishing boats
Jun 04th, 2011 - 11:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and
perhaps (probably?) there will be dedicated port space for SK vehicle industry ships to ship off and ship on cars, etc.. - hopefully built de novo to SK infrastructure specifications.
The 'obvious conclusion' is that there will be NO Brasilian shipbuilding capability forthcoming from this SK programme.
“Korean shipyards build 40% of the world’s vessels and oil and gas exploration rigs.”
Self-evidently, the SKs do not want to contribute to Brasilian shipbuilding capabilities and competition with their own ship/rig building dominance.
No, I think Brasil will have to develop its capability without SK, CH, or Indian assistance.
But will Brasil think BIG enough?
If it wants to play big boys' games it will have to build big boys' toys.
I'm having tremendous difficulty following your 'reasoning', Geoff. Perhaps you should try again after a night of sleep?

The obvious conclusion. :) As so often, you're wrong. Don't you ever get tired of talking out of your ass and being proved incorrect after a short while? http://jcrs.uol.com.br/site/noticia.php?codn=63826
Time to drop your faux connaisseur air. There's very little you know about, but also too little you won't comment about.

Thanks for the link, Fido. A very interesting contribution. Perhaps Geoff will make one in the future, too.
