Although the deadline expired in September 2021, the transaction was not executed.The São Paulo/Foch Institute claimed that there were a number of irregularities in the conduct of the tender, such as refusal of appeal and reversal of stages. It was also among the allegations that there were tons of asbestos inside the ship and that the necessary environmental inspections were not carried out.Emerson Miura, Director of the São Paulo/Foch Institute, said they do not know what the condition of asbestos is today. “The last time I visited the ship in 2018, the material was still covered. However, we do not know the situation today. Asbestos is a cancer-causing substance, and its handling should be done with great care. We know that asbestos was widely used as a heat insulator on ships in the 60s.Monitoramento por GPS aponta localização, na tarde de sexta, da rebocadora holandesa, responsável por transportar o porta-aviões, já próximo do fim da área marítima brasileira — Photo: ReproduçãoDECISION OF MEASURE NOT FOLLOWEDMiura said he was "barred", stating that only buyers interested in aircraft carrier recycling would be accepted.
