Shipbuilder OSX Brasil has revealed that it will build a shipyard with South Korea's Hyundai HI in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state.
In a public statement, OSX said that it has chosen a site at the Port of Acu that is currently under construction by LLX Logistica.
Both companies are controlled by Eike Batista.
