“…Maritime routes are responsible for transporting about 95% of Brazil's foreign trade (Andrade et al, 2022), and maritime transportation is therefore crucial to the national economy. The shipbuilding industry not only provides vessels for the transportation of goods and people but is also essential for the development of the oil and gas sector through the construction of platforms, drillships and other equipment used for oil and gas exploration (Pires, 2001).…”

PurposeThis study aimed to identify the potential for economic activities related to the ocean economy in Brazil to become blue economy (BE) activities, in which the concept of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is central.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aim, the authors collected information on the SDGs and estimated data from the ocean economy sectors for the 256 Brazilian coastal cities. The authors predicted the indices for potential development of territories and sectors in the BE using two parameters: employed persons (EP) and sectoral added value (AV).FindingsThe results show that the capitals of coastal states present the highest potential indices for the BE, especially Rio de Janeiro, which accounted for 83.3% of sectoral added value in the Brazilian ocean economy with potential for sustainable development and generated 107,800 active formal jobs (26.9% of the country's total). In addition, restaurants, hotels and similar establishments are, on the Brazilian coast, the most frequent on the coastal zone and have the highest potential for BE activities.Originality/valueRegarding its contributions, this research innovates by developing an indicator that can help stakeholders understand the similarities and differences between cities and regions, whether through a social, economic, or environmental lens. Therefore, by following this methodological path for measuring the BE, viewing the distinct patterns of sustainable development by area is possible, thereby supporting action plans for the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda and the implementation of a marine spatial planning process for the country in the context of the Ocean Decade (2021–2030).Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-02-2023-0112

“…Literature Review Pires Jr. (2001) presented the shipbuilders of Brazil since the end of the 1960s, when Brazil drafted a yard policy. By 1985, this policy collapsed, andby 2001, the Brazilian shipbuilders had no order. Brazil debated, in particular, over the relationship between shipping and shipbuilding, wondering whether the two can be integrated… The governmental policy implied a massive net economic transfer mainly from the Brazilian importers to country's shipbuilders!…”
