the vessel BONGO for his participation in the HSE campaign for drilling activities in
Block BS-4. The campaign has been actively promoted by Queiroz Galvão. Lopes was
awarded an iPod Shuffle for submitting the best WISE (Working in Safe Environments)

Introducing a New Vessel
Inspection Team
In February, BRAM management announced the creation of a new vessel inspection
team to aid management in the continual effort to further the company’s high
standards of performance.
The team performs vessel inspections as per USCG, ABS and local port state control
guidelines. These inspections aid to identify existing or potential issues prior to
scheduled authority and class inspections. The team’s findings assist operations,
maintenance teams and vessel crews in maintaining or improving the overall condition
of the vessels working in this sector.
The vessel inspection team consists of Captains Les Downey and Barry Rodriguez, along
with Chief Engineers Bobby Armstrong and Charlie Thompson. Together, the team has
114 years of combined working experience on vessels in the offshore industry.

Chouest Clinic Introduces B-Port Brasil: Chouest
Psychology Department
Expands Area of
The Chouest Clinic was opened in 2013 to provide occupational
Operations in Brazil
health services to BRAM employees, combining a high quality
of care with reduced costs. The Clinic’s mission is to provide
preventive and curative medical services, serving those
seeking prevention, rehabilitation or increased productivity
by promoting wellness and improving the quality of life. Since
opening its doors, the Clinic has provided a range of medical
and dental services. The medical department features an onsite laboratory, an electrocardiogram room, an audiology
department, a spirometer and an emergency room.
In May, the clinic expanded to include a psychology department.
The new department employs two full-time psychologists,
Doctors Vanini and Leite. Both doctors are available during
working hours as well as weekends and holidays through an oncall system.
Dr. Lidia Vanini provides psychological assistance to onshore and
offshore employees and their families. She provides patients with
three levels of care: prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
Dr. Larissa Leite examines psychological evaluations on regular
and return-to-work examinations (periodic ASOs and return-towork ASOs). She is also involved with the recruitment process,
interviewing candidates and administering psychological
evaluations to assist in identifying the best candidate for a position.
BRAM Training Center
Celebrates One Year in
Operation
Submitted by Mario Medina – The BRAM Training Center (BTC)
began its operations in August 2013 with accreditation from
The Nautical Institute of London to provide basic and advanced
courses in dynamic positioning (DP). The BTC operates on the
philosophy that continuous training of employees is the key to
better and safer operations.
When the BTC was first opened, basic and advanced courses
in DP were taught by senior DP instructor Mario Medina and
DP instructor-in-training Lorenzo Mattedi, who obtained his
accreditation as a DP instructor from The Nautical Institute in
July. Since then, the BTC has added two new courses:
DP Refresher – This course is intended to refresh the skills of
certified DPOs, reinforcing previously acquired knowledge and
increasing operational skills.

Submitted by Ricardo Chagas – Supported by a fleet of
approximately 70 vessels, the Edison Chouest Offshore
companies (ECO) will further expand their area of operations
in Brazil. Aiming at a strategic location near the Campos Basin,
construction is underway on B-Port Brasil at Port Açu in São João
da Barra, North Fluminense. The new facility will serve as a base
for offshore logistics, as well as a shipyard for repairs.
ECO signed a contract to lease an area of 2,746,949 square feet
(255,200 square meters) for a period of 15 years to accommodate
the shipyard. After that time, the lease can be renewed for
periods of three or five years. The dock, measuring 1,444 feet
(440 meters), will have a capacity of 12 berths. The dock can be
increased by 722 feet (220 meters) within 12 months and by
another 722 feet (220 meters) in less than 18 months, achieving
double capacity and reaching 2,887 feet (880 meters) of dock
with the capacity for 18 vessels and an area of up to 5,493,900
square feet (510,400 square meters).
With capacity for 14 simultaneous dockings, the new B-Port
Brasil is forecast to begin its activities the first half of 2015,
creating 900 new jobs.
Health, Safety and the Environment at B-Port Brasil
B-Port Brasil will feature a:
•
Dedicated health, safety and environment (HSE)
representative on site around the clock, seven days per week.
•Safety Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
•Fire brigade and facility.
•Spills recovery and prevention facility, equipment and
personnel.
•First aid and medevac infrastructure.
DP for Engineers – This course is designed for chief and first
engineers on board BRAM vessels, allowing them to gain
theoretical knowledge and practical experience that pertain to
their responsibilities during dynamic positioning operations.
Editors
During the first year of operation, the BTC trained 56 students
in basic DP, 60 students in advanced DP, 36 students in the DP
refresher and 37 students in DP for engineers.
Editorial Support: Michele Costa, April Strickland,
Monica Falgout and Janet Jimenez
The BTC is in the process of receiving accreditation from the
Brazilian Maritime Authority to provide ECDIS (Electronic Chart
Display and Information System) and BRM (Bridge Resources
Management) courses. It is anticipated that these new courses
will be offered beginning in December.
