Emergency response and vessel services for Brazil's offshore oil and gas sector
OceanPact operates a marine emergency-response fleet serving Brazil's oil and gas infrastructure, with a tech stack spanning backend services (Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL), geospatial tools (QGIS), and computer-vision applications (OpenCV, YOLO). The hiring mix—operations-heavy (36 roles) with engineering (24) and junior-to-mid talent flowing in steadily—reflects operational scaling: new backend and API work, fleet risk-analysis modeling, and SMS compliance tooling indicate a shift from purely vessel-charter operations toward digital risk management and field-operations automation.
OceanPact is a Brazilian maritime services company founded in 2007, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. The company operates chartered vessels and coordinates emergency-response teams for oil spill containment, marine surveys, and asset recovery on behalf of oil companies, ports, refineries, and terminals. The business model combines direct service delivery (crew, vessels, logistics) with partnerships in marine survey and emergency management. Current operational pain points center on fleet capacity, offshore continuity, compliance tracking across distributed field teams, and logistics coordination during emergencies—all areas where their recent engineering and backend development hires suggest digital tooling will play a larger role.
Backend: Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka. Frontend/analysis: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript. Geospatial: QGIS. BI: Power BI, Tableau, Looker. ML/vision: OpenCV, YOLO, PyTorch.
