rodriquez <strong>Cantieri</strong> Navali do Brasil<br />
has delivered to the Brazilian shipping<br />
company Barcas two of the<br />
three catamarans that were under construction<br />
at the Niterói shipyard in Rio<br />
de Janeiro. The first, Zeus I, was handed<br />
over on 10 December, the second,<br />
Apolo I, on 24 January. Both vessels are<br />
catamarans in the CityCat 29 series and<br />

Rio de Janeiro to Charitas, a residential<br />

Rodriquez <strong>Cantieri</strong> Navali do Brasil was<br />
founded in Rio in 2002 after the signing<br />
of a contract with the Barcas SA<br />
shipping company for the construction<br />
of ten aluminum catamarans. As the<br />
contract for this order specified that<br />
they should be built in Brazil, Rodriquez<br />
constructed a new shipyard in Niterói,<br />
which opened in August 2003. It now<br />
employs about 300 people, including<br />
specialized staff and workers.<br />
The two catamarans Zeus I and Apolo<br />
I are built entirely built of aluminum<br />
