Samsung Heavy Industries sold its minority stake in Estaleiro Atlântico Sul to its partners, Camargo Corrêa Naval and Queiroz Galvão Participações.

[2] The shipyard consortium received its first major order from Petrobras in 2010 for a series of 49 Suezmax tanker-class vessels.

The shipyard operators retrained sugar cane workers and housewives, but the result was so poor that the first oil tanker ordered by Petrobras, "João Cândido," showed leaks at the welds as early as the launch in 2011.

In May 2013, the company was also able to hand over another Suezmax tanker "Zumbi dos Palmares" with a length of 274.2 meters to the client Petrobras Transporte S.A. without any problems.

It started work in early 2014 at the Roncador oil field in the Campos Basin off the coast of Brazil.
