[TOKYO] A Japanese consortium yesterday said that it would buy a 30 per cent stake in a Brazilian shipbuilder as it eyes the lucrative market for resource-exploration vessels.
The deal, reportedly worth about 30 billion yen (S$378 million), would see five firms including Imabari Shipbuilding and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries invest in Brazil's Ecovix-Engevix Construcoes Oceanicas, which has more than 5,000 employees.
"The initiative marks the first investment by a Japanese consortium consisting of shipbuilding companies and a trading company into a Brazilian shipbuilder," according to a press statement issued yesterday.
