Estaleiro Rio Maguari, a shipyard in the district of Icoaraci in Belem, the capital of the State of Para in the Amazon estuary, has an extensive list of delivered barges and boats.
The yard is currently finishing up a 2,980kW Z-drive harbour tug for Hermasa Navegação da Amazônia, Brazil. The owners are a part of Hermasa, a large producer of soy beans- the company exported 2.5 million tonnes of soy in 2007.

The engines will turn Rolls Royce azimuthing thrusters model US205/3305-MK2. A pair of Cummins 6B-powered 99kW generator sets will provide auxiliary power.
