Our History

A Enseada é um dos maiores investimentos privados da Bahia nos últimos anos, sendo o veículo que consolidou todo o conhecimento e expertise dos seus acionistas no segmento de construção naval e offshore. Com tecnologia Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a Enseada foi implantada estrategicamente às margens do Rio Paraguaçu, no Estado da Bahia. O estaleiro está localizado em águas abrigadas e com calado profundo, onde não há a incidência de correnteza ou ventos inesperados. Além disso, não há concorrência de atracação com outras indústrias como em outras regiões. Gerando emprego e renda para a região do recôncavo baiano, o local é reconhecido como celeiro de grandes projetos offshore desde a década de 1980.
