The Brazilian Navy held this Wednesday (18) the ceremony for the handover of the Command Building of the Admiral Átilla Monteiro Aché Instruction and Training Center (CIAMA) and the Fuel Oil Supply System of the Madeira Island Submarine Base (BSIM), at the Itaguaí Naval Complex (RJ).

These deliveries represent another step forward in consolidating the support infrastructure for the Submarine Force and the Submarine Development Program (PROSUB), strengthening the Navy’s operational and logistical capabilities.

The new CIAMA Command Building expands the training and qualification capacity of Submarine Force personnel, consolidating a modern and integrated environment dedicated to technical and operational training of crews. With a built area of 4,206 square meters, the facility was designed to accommodate up to 70 Officers and 184 Enlisted personnel, as well as a student body of up to 116 Officers and 114 Enlisted personnel. It includes administrative offices, classrooms, locker rooms, common areas, a library, print shop, refrigeration workshop, carpentry shop, information technology center, computer lab, and electronics lab, providing adequate infrastructure for teaching, support, and management activities of the Instruction Center.

The BSIM Fuel Oil Supply System was designed to serve the units subordinated to the Submarine Force Command that use marine fuel oil (OCMT), as well as other vessels docking at the piers of the Itaguaí Naval Complex. The structure includes two storage tanks with a capacity of 700,000 liters each, in addition to a third tank for offloading, with a capacity of 390,000 liters, with potential for future expansion. The system also includes a pump house, distribution networks interconnected to the piers, and an oil-water separator, ensuring greater efficiency, operational safety, and environmental compliance in fueling operations.

The delivery of these new structures built by Odebrecht reinforces the strategic role of the Itaguaí Naval Complex as the main support hub for Submarine Force operations, enhancing logistical efficiency and operational readiness of naval assets.
