Brazil remains one of ABL Group\u2019s strongest and most strategically important markets, home to expansive offshore activity, rapidly growing renewable energy ambitions, and a dynamic maritime landscape. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

To continue supporting clients with the highest level of technical excellence and responsiveness, ABL is implementing a series of leadership updates that reinforce local capability and position the business for its next phase of sustainable growth. <\/p>\n

These changes underscore ABL\u2019s long-term commitment to Brazil: investing in local talent, strengthening operational resilience, and ensuring clients benefit from a leadership structure built for agility, expertise and future growth. <\/p>\n

ABL is pleased to announce the appointment of Humberto Fajardo as Managing Director, ABL Brazil. <\/p>\n

Since joining ABL in 2019, Humberto has led the Offshore department through a period of strong, consistent growth. His previous experience running his own company\u2014spanning shipbuilding, ship management, P&I and cargo\u2014brings the commercial and operational acumen critical to Brazil\u2019s complex and evolving market. <\/p>\n

For clients, Humberto\u2019s appointment strengthens ABL\u2019s service reliability at a time of increasing activity across deepwater, decarbonisation and maritime operations. <\/p>\n

Andreas Theophanatos will continue in his role as Regional Director, ensuring continuity across the region through his deep technical background, trusted market presence and long-standing oversight of ABL\u2019s Brazilian operations. <\/p>\n

His ongoing mentorship of teams at all levels ensures clients continue to benefit from consistent, high\u2011quality delivery supported by ABL\u2019s internal capability. <\/p>\n

Fabiano Batista, has been promoted to Deputy Offshore Manager. <\/p>\n

A Senior Marine Surveyor at ABL since 2013, Fabiano is widely respected for his deepwater MWS expertise, one of the most critical competencies in Brazil\u2019s offshore sector. His move into formal leadership further strengthens ABL\u2019s ability to support complex offshore projects with confidence and precision. <\/p>\n

ABL also announces the appointment of Leonardo Ruiz as Brazil Maritime Manager. <\/p>\n

Leonardo, with more than a decade at ABL, brings broad expertise across H&M, Offshore Marine Assurance, Condition Surveys and MWS. Known for his strong client relationships and technical depth, he is ideally positioned to lead the next phase of ABL\u2019s Maritime strategy in Brazil, enhancing service breadth and supporting evolving client needs across the marine value chain. <\/p>\n

Mauricio Viana will continue to manage the Asset Integrity Management division for Brazil. <\/p>\n

With a strong background in nearly two decades of career in mechanical engineering, commissioning, operations, maintenance and reliability management in the chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries, Mauricio is best placed to deliver strategic asset management, maintenance, inventory, and data optimisation solutions to our clients. <\/p>\n

These organisational updates reflect ABL\u2019s continued focus on building local leadership that is aligned with the needs of one of the world\u2019s most active offshore and maritime regions. <\/p>\n

\u201cBrazil is central to our strategy in the Americas, and these leadership enhancements directly reinforce the quality and agility our clients expect from ABL,\u201d said Nicolas Cazeres, Regional Managing Director for the Americas. \u201cBy strengthening our ontheground expertise, we are ensuring clients receive faster decisionmaking, deeper technical insight and a more integrated service across offshore, maritime and renewables.\u201d <\/p>\n

With a renewed leadership structure, ABL Brazil is positioned not only to maintain its high performance, but to capture emerging opportunities and continue delivering exceptional value to clients in a fast-moving, opportunity-rich market. <\/p>\n
