Where in the World is Hatenboer-Water: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Where in the World is Hatenboer-Water
Our latest destination in the “Where in the World is Hatenboer-Water?” series takes us to Rio de Janeiro, a city that perfectly balances its rich cultural heritage, warm beach climate, and critical importance to the maritime and offshore energy industries. Our photo features the view taken from the famous Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue.
As winter sets in across the northern hemisphere, Rio’s sunny beaches and tropical atmosphere make it a welcoming escape. But Rio is far more than its iconic beaches and breathtaking views—it’s a bustling hub for maritime innovation and energy production, making it a key location for Hatenboer-Water’s global operations.
A Vital Hub for Maritime and Offshore Energy
Rio de Janeiro is strategically positioned along Brazil’s southeastern coast, making it a critical player in the global offshore energy sector. The region is home to the Campos and Santos basins, some of the world’s most prolific offshore oil and gas fields. These basins are at the heart of Brazil’s offshore energy industry, supporting a network of drillships, FPSOs, and offshore supply vessels that depend on reliable systems for fresh water generation and distribution. In fact, the Christ the Redeemer statue sits atop Mount Corcovado, namesake of Transocean’s Deepwater Corcovado drillship, on which Hatenboer-Water has installed 75 m3/day (20k gal) RO Fresh Water Generators.
Beyond energy, Rio is a hub for shipyards and port operations, providing critical infrastructure for international maritime companies operating throughout Latin America. We work closely with trusted partners in the region: our agent Altomar Equipment and its project team are experts in both the offshore energy industry and the unique business environment in Brazil.

As a global leader in maritime fresh water systems, Hatenboer-Water plays a key role in supporting Rio’s bustling maritime and offshore industries.

The Impact of International Collaboration
Rio’s status as a global hub for the maritime and energy sectors is reflected in the presence of numerous international companies. From oil majors to global shipbuilding firms, the city attracts top talent and expertise from around the world.

For those working in the maritime and offshore sectors, Rio’s tropical climate and stunning scenery provide a refreshing contrast to the demanding nature of their work. It’s no wonder the city continues to attract professionals from around the globe.
