Brazilian shipyard Enseada Industria Naval (EIN) has filed for preventive bankruptcy in Rio de Janeiro.

It has debts of BRL 2.3bn ($557m), the Valor Economico daily said.

Domestic conglomerate Odebrecht now has a 97.25% stake in EIN, it was reported.

The yard was established to build drillships for Sete Brasil, but this company collapsed in 2016.
