BRAVANTE.GROUP.

B993

Bravante combines “BRA” from Brazil and “AVANTE”, Portuguese for forward, also recalling “bravura”, bravery. Its logo uses the triangles of “A” and “V” and represents a ship’s reflection at sea. B993 follows Mar Limpo II photographed on 7 August 2012. This is a logo on white superstructure near exhausts, not a conventional funnel. The vessel belonged to Petrosantos, possibly Petro Santos, whose relationship to the group is unclear.

The archive combines a 1950 group origin, several operating entities and a later holding-company/rebranding history. The legal scope and inconsistent subsidiary formation dates are not resolved by a single group-level history.
