Tell us the ship, the port and the window. We put the scope together.
Request a repairOur base is in Santos. Our teams mobilise to every Brazilian port and terminal — river ports on the Amazon, the deep-water terminals of the northeast, the offshore hubs of the southeast and the grain ports of the south.
A chart of 37 Brazilian ports with drafts, metocean conditions and hot-work rules, and a safe haven engine: put a ship with a problem at sea and it finds the nearest ports that can take her, by sea.
Chart for planning, not for navigation. Drafts depend on berth, tide and the port authority's current rules; figures reviewed in November 2026.
The atlas answers where the ship can go; the repair window planner then answers when the work fits. Put the vessel on the chart, give her draft, and the engine filters the ports that can take her, measures the way there by sea and hands the chosen port and the berthing time to the planner. Everything runs in your browser.
A port qualifies when its maximum permitted draft is at least the vessel’s draft plus 10% — margin for under-keel clearance, squat and the trim or list of a damaged ship. Drafts come from port-authority tables where a source is shown; the ones marked ≈ are indicative.
Great-circle legs (Haversine, mean Earth radius 6,371 km, 1 NM = 1,852 m) along a network of waypoints 10–40 NM off the coast and outside the banks, then the port’s fairway, bay or river. The vessel joins the waypoints it can reach without crossing land; the shortest route wins. The straight great circle is shown for comparison.
Time at the speed entered — 12 kn unless you change it. Berthing is taken 2 h after arrival for pilotage and berthing. "Plan the repair here" opens the planner with that port, that berthing time and the hours from now as the order’s notice.
With a destination, the options are ranked by deviation: vessel → haven → destination, minus vessel → destination. Going straight to a destination that can take her costs nothing.
Tidal current, underwater visibility and the hot-work rule are indicative ratings of the port’s general conditions: estuary and river ports are turbid, São Marcos Bay (Itaqui) has extreme tidal streams, oil and gas terminals keep hot work off their berths. Diving needs its own plan and permits.
The chart is stylised for planning and leaves out depths, banks, traffic schemes and weather. It replaces neither official charts and notices to mariners nor the pilots and a passage plan.
Amazon river ports — Manaus, Santarém and Santana — and the Pará terminals of Vila do Conde and Belém. Long river passages and big tides call for careful planning of people, tools and materials.
From the deep-water berths of Itaqui to Pecém, Suape and Salvador: container, fuel and bulk terminals where port stays are short, so repairs are prepared before the ship arrives.
Our home region: Santos, the country's busiest port, plus Rio de Janeiro, Itaguaí, Vitória, Açu and Macaé, the hubs of offshore support.
Paranaguá, São Francisco do Sul, Itapoá, Itajaí, Imbituba and Rio Grande — grain, container and fertilizer ports — and the inland waterway to Porto Alegre.
Yes. Santos is our base; we mobilise teams, tools and materials to any Brazilian port or terminal.
It depends on the distance, the size of the job and the materials needed. Tell us the port and the ETA and we plan the mobilisation around the ship's schedule.
Switch the chart to "Vessel in transit", put the vessel where she is and give her draft: you get the three nearest ports that can take her with 10% under-keel clearance, the distance by sea, the time at your speed and each port’s conditions for diving and hot work. Then plan the repair window for the chosen port.
