THE CHALLENGE
The Brazilian offshore is one of the world's most demanding regulatory environments.
Multiple regulators, critical deadlines, and a real risk of downtime. For those arriving in Brazil, add no track record in the country and cross-border legal complexity. For those already operating here, the pressure is to stay compliant without stopping.
The traditional response is expensive and fragmented: one consultant recommends, another audits, and the burden of execution stays with you. On top of that, it requires hiring different providers — one for the helideck, one for PSC, one for IBAMA and biofouling, one for training — with a heavy supplier-management effort. GRICCO's shift is Intelligent Simplicity and a single source for multiple solutions: the project gains centralized management, and we support that integrated management, from diagnosis to delivery, with a fixed scope and clear accountability. The management stays yours; we work side by side to strengthen your team.
THE GRICCO METHOD
A proprietary project management methodology.
Every project follows seven steps. We are inside the operation at each one — supporting your team.
- 1
Active listening
We define scope by understanding the real origin of the demand before proposing any solution.
- 2
Diagnosis
We map regulatory gaps and operational risks, with clarity on what must be done.
- 3
Planning
We structure the action plan, with defined deadlines, owners, and risk allocation.
- 4
Execution
We lead implementation in the field, side by side with your team.
- 5
Monitoring
We track indicators and adjust course before deviations become problems.
- 6
Delivery of results
We consolidate compliance and prepare an operation ready to move forward.
- 7
Acceptance follow-up
We follow the inspection or audit and its impact on the client's performance, already in operation.
WHAT WE DO
Integrated management, organized by service line.
Projects can be contracted individually (modular) or as a complete solution (turnkey).
Assisted Health & Safety
A health and safety team as a managed service, with human curation and a specialized back-office.
ExploreOHS Programs
We structure and run the occupational health and safety programs required by the Regulatory Standards.
ExploreQuality
We study and improve the workflow and run cost-reduction, accident-reduction and continuous-improvement programs.
ExploreMaritime
Ongoing operational support in Brazil: agency interface, vetted suppliers and technical intermediation.
ExploreManagement Systems
We implement and maintain auditable systems — ISO 9001/14001/45001, ISM, ISPS and MLC.
ExploreESG / Environment
We drive environmental compliance, from biofouling to licensing, with IBAMA and other agencies.
ExploreWHERE WE OPERATE
Oil & Gas and Shipping.
Offshore is the environment where these sectors operate at sea — not a separate niche.
We serve operators and shipowners, the companies that supply them, shipyards and support companies — in Brazil and for those arriving in Brazil. Onshore here means the support bases and logistics that sustain the operation.
RECENT CASE
M/V CSS Temis: from a vessel with no record in Brazil to a cleared operation.
An international vessel, with no operational record in the country, facing a critical deadline for clearance in Brazilian jurisdictional waters.
We led the regulatory gap analysis (NR-37, NR-30, ANP, NORMAM), crew training and competency certification, occupational health (PGR and ergonomics), helideck compliance, cargo-handling equipment certification, and clean-hull documentation (Coral-Sol). The vessel was cleared in record time, with a significant cost reduction.
"Highly professional and experienced. They provided top-quality safety technicians and medical professionals. We strongly recommend them."

GOVERNANCE
Success Without Shortcuts.
Compliance leaves no room for improvisation. Not even in our own house.
We operate under solid principles of ethics, transparency, and accountability, with rigorous data handling in line with Brazil's LGPD. We are transparent about limits and risks. We never promise a regulatory shortcut — and we are clear that clearance is granted by the competent authority (the Navy/DPC and the ANP). We prepare the vessel and crew and drive the process together.
