History
The company was founded in 1998 by Fabio Fares, who identified the lack of structured methods and tools for the commissioning activity management of complex industrial projects in the country. Its activities have naturally expanded to the energy, petrochemicals, and mining sectors.
In 2006, Forship established an office in Singapore in order to manage Forship Asia operations, supporting the provision of services for the Middle East and Asia market areas.
In 2007, the Group was granted the ISO 9001 certification in Commissioning Management, by DNV.
In April 2009, the Forship engineering manager, Bruno Montenegro, published an article in the EPC News magazine supporting acknowledgment of Commissioning as an independent discipline of engineering.
In 2008, Forship became an active member of the CE-EPC – Centro de Excelência em EPC, (Brazilian Center of Excellence in EPC), a non-profit entity that gathers operators, EPC companies, service providers, regulatory entities, and universities in order to improve and share the best practices on EPC projects, so that the Brazilian industry associated to the productive EPC chain of the oil, gas, and energy sectors become competitive and sustainable.
In 2012, Forship Group established an office in Mozambique, in order to provide commissioningservices and develop integrated information technology solutions, initially focusing on the mining and infrastructure sectors.
In 2013, Forship Integrated Management System was granted certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OSHAS 18001) by DNV.
