PROJEMAR is the leading engineering company in offshore and ship design field in Brazil with accumulated experience with national and international clients since 1969. Created as an affiliate company of EMAQ Shipyard, a medium size shipyard in Brazil, to develop all its own designs, since its early beginning, following a permanent policy of technological development, PROJEMAR has been heading several developments in the area of offshore and ship design in Brazil.

PROJEMAR started its activities designing small ships only for EMAQ Shipyard. In 1973, due to the shipbuilding growth in Brazil, PROJEMAR started to make special craft design and consulting for other shipyards and owners. One of the remarkable achievement of that time, and the beginning of activities in the offshore area, was the design of the first supply vessel in Brazil, a series of which have been built by Mac Laren Shipyard. PROJEMAR has produced more than 500 designs for all kinds of vessels, from simple inland boats to sophisticated cutting edge technology FPSOs, semi-submersible platforms, tankers, self-unloading bulk-carriers and containers ships.

PROJEMAR introduced the CAD/CAM systems into Brazilian shipbuilding, at EMAQ Shipyard, and in 1976 the first mathematical fairing had been produced, using its in-house developed software. Due to its high development in the CAD/CAM field, EMAQ shipyard and PROJEMAR were awarded in 1980 with the prize LICEU DE TECNOLOGIA”, the most important technological award in Brazil at that time.

Due to the merge of EMAQ and VEROLME Shipyards, in 1991, PROJEMAR became responsible for the designs of both shipyards. In 1994, with the creation of IVI, the merge of EMAQ, VEROLME and ISHIBRAS Shipyards, PROJEMAR started to make designs for the three most important and productive shipyards in Brazil.
