Fila de Espera para Vistoria de Embarcação e Paralização Operacional
R$ 50,000–R$ 150,000 per vessel per month in lost fishing revenue during idle/inspection-wait period. Estimated 150–450 vessels affected; assuming average 60-day wait per vessel = R$ 150M–R$ 675M aggregate annual revenue loss across fleet.PROPESC allows both public (MPA-employed) and private certified inspectors to conduct vessel compliance inspections. However, certification process is slow, and private inspector availability is geographically sparse. Vessel operators report waiting 30–90 days for inspection appointments, during which time vessels are idle or operate in non-compliance. Inspection reports must be filed in SisRGP; system processing delays add 10–15 business days per submission. Peak compliance demand (Jan–Dec 2025–2026) exacerbates bottleneck.
Penalidades por Não-Conformidade com Portaria MPA nº 492/2025 - Programa de Subvenção ao Diesel
R$ 15,000–50,000 per vessel per year in lost subsidies + R$ 5,000–25,000 in potential audit fines per non-compliant claimMPA Portaria nº 492/2025 establishes mandatory registration, quota allocation, and fuel supplier credentialing for diesel subsidy eligibility. Non-compliance leads to: (1) Loss of subsidy rights (R$ 15,000-50,000 per vessel annually); (2) Audit penalties for falsified fuel consumption logs; (3) License suspension from authorized supplier networks; (4) Delayed reimbursement processing.
Roubo e Manipulação de Registros de Combustível (Fuel Shrinkage & Ghost Deliveries)
3–7% of diesel procurement cost per vessel annually. Average cost: R$ 180,000/year diesel per vessel → R$ 5,400–12,600 annual loss per vessel in direct theft. Multiplied across ~5,000 registered vessels = R$ 27–63 million fleet-wide annual exposure.Embarcações rely on manual logbooks for fuel consumption tracking. No real-time monitoring of tank levels, delivery quantities, or fuel transfers. Common fraud schemes: (1) Fuel siphoning by crew (3–5% loss per vessel annually); (2) Suppliers deliver less than invoiced (1–2% per shipment); (3) Consumption logs inflated to claim higher subsidies. MPA program lacks audit trail for subsidy fund disbursement.
Desperdício de Combustível por Falta de Rastreamento de Consumo em Tempo Real
8–12% excess consumption per vessel annually. At 180,000 liters/year base consumption = 14,400–21,600 liters excess × R$ 2.50/liter subsidy value = R$ 36,000–54,000 annual loss per vessel. Fleet-wide (5,000 vessels) = R$ 180–270 million annual exposure.MPA subsidy program allocates fixed fuel quotas per vessel based on vessel class, not actual efficiency. No incentive for fuel conservation. Manual fuel logs lack granular consumption tracking (no hourly/trip-level data). Result: excessive idling, unoptimized routes, poor engine maintenance. Embarcações consistently exceed quotas, lose subsidy coverage for overages, and pay full market rate (R$ 5.50–6.50/liter vs. subsidized ~R$ 3.00/liter difference).
