Competitive Strengths
We operate across the entire life cycle for E&P, as described in the graphic below. Given that our vessels service the principal production fields of Petrobras and various IOCs, our services rendered and revenues are concentrated primarily in the development and production phase, which makes our business resilient to fluctuations in oil prices, which tend to have a more severe impact on activities in the exploration phase.
Our long-standing relationship with companies in the oil and gas sector, coupled with Brazil’s standing as the leading market for oil and natural gas production, gives us a competitive advantage as we seek to win and negotiate new services agreements.
Our fleet is composed of tailored vessels equipped with cranes and other equipment to operate in deepwater fields, which we believe makes us well-suited to provide specialized, quality services and support the oil exploration and production chain in the pre-salt layer.
In 2017, we acquired Maritim Miljø Beredskap AS, or MMB, a Norwegian company specializing in environmental emergency responses with a large inventory of oil spill response equipment. This acquisition enabled us to expand our portfolio of services and to strengthen relations with the Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies, or NOFO, one of the most renowned environmental emergency response associations in the world. As a result, we have one of the largest equipment inventories in Latin America used to prevent and remediate oil spills, respond to emergencies and collect oceanographic data.
OceanPact stands out for investing in innovation since its foundation as a means of competitive differentiation and a strategy to remain competitive and resilient, even in scenarios of constant change. Its vision is to identify, develop, and implement advanced technologies that reinforce sustainability and generate new revenues. Short-term goals include launching products, elevating safety and operational efficiency, and capturing R&D incentives.
Four fronts structure the portfolio:—Operational Digitalization, Remote Operations, Decarbonization & NBS, and Big Data, all aligned with the Company’s mission to “Help society and our clients to know, use, and explore the coast, the oceans, and their riches—ensuring their PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION.” It is supervised by an Innovation Committee that applies an idea funnel, prioritization matrix, and KPIs such as innovation rate, ROI, and time-to-market. Partnerships with universities, startups, and multilateral organizations complement the effort, fostering projects in carbon capture, marine conservation, and climate change, while an internal culture of creativity transforms ideas into results for clients and for the oceans.
The theme involves the development of technological solutions, the digitalization of processes, applied research in oceanography and digital transformation, as well as the creation of new products that contribute to operational efficiency and ocean conservation. In this context, the Innovation area acts both internally—focusing on technological improvements for our operations—and externally—offering solutions aligned with market demands. Furthermore, the area seeks to integrate the technologies developed by OceanPact’s other departments with the mission of generating an ocean big data¹, acting as a link between teams and promoting a structured agenda to monitor ongoing projects and the development of initiatives in each department.
The Company has always invested in building a solid enterprise—with an innovative team, assets, and systems. As of December 30, 2025, the Company had 2,662 employees, including more than 300 oceanographers, biologists, bachelor’s degree holders in nautical sciences, engineers (naval, environmental, chemical, industrial, among others), as well as master’s and doctoral degree holders. In addition to academic background, the Company continuously invests in the technical development of its team.
The continuous qualification of its employees is reflected in the success of several simulated exercises conducted with IBAMA—one of the prerequisites for the environmental licensing of oil blocks and fields—, in the regular execution of training sessions and practical exercises, as well as in the solid expertise developed in autonomous vehicles.
OceanPact shares its commitment to sustainable development through its sustainability strategy, which features three integrated areas of action:
-
Sustainability Culture and Management: process efficiency and continuous improvement
Our inward-looking perspective, focused on the continuous improvement of operations and the adoption of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) best practices to ensure operational excellence and innovation.
-
Corporate Social Responsibility: maximizing positive impacts
Our outward-looking perspective, aimed at promoting a solid network of strategic partnerships to maximize positive socio-environmental impacts and strengthen the company’s social responsibility.
-
New Blue Businesses: solutions aligned with Blue Economy principles
Our forward-looking perspective, linked to the fostering of new businesses aligned with the principles of the blue economy, always in synergy with SDG 14, which aims at the conservation of marine life.
This structure demonstrates that corporate sustainability management and new business development are treated in an integrated manner. ESG risks are analyzed not only as challenges but also as new business opportunities to drive growth and innovation. OceanPact has been making structural investments in technologies and specialized teams focused on the new frontiers of the blue economy, including remote operations, autonomous vessels, digitalization, nature-based solutions, blue biotechnology, marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) technologies, and alternative fuels for the maritime sector. These investments are structured through its units dedicated to innovation, technology, and impact—OceanPact Digital, OceanPact Tech, and OceanImPact—which are responsible for developing, testing, and scaling solutions aligned with this strategy. The company develops new businesses and Research, Development, and Innovation (R&D&I) projects in partnership with its clients, aiming to remain at the forefront of the transition to a decarbonized blue economy, leveraging its operational know-how and its recognized expertise in marine ecosystems and operations conducted in sensitive environments. In this context, OceanPact positions itself as an organization with the capacity and expertise to act from risk management, prevention, reduction, and mitigation of impacts to the development of nature-inclusive projects oriented toward maximizing regenerative benefits.
The Company has a diverse customer base and long-term relationships.
Since 2019, the Company has been among the top-ranked in Petrobras’ PEOTRAM (Operational Excellence Program in Air and Maritime Transport) ranking, which ensures a 3% bonus on the daily rate of contracted vessels. The Company has also been recognized by other clients for its QSMS (Quality, Safety, Environment, and Health) policies and practices, receiving awards for consecutive years.
In addition to its strong presence in the O&G market, the Company is also active in other segments, including port terminals, mining, energy, telecommunications, and chemicals, among others.
