Days Away from the Announcement of the Bidding Results for Constructing Corvettes, Consortia and Shipyards Must Be Aware of the New Plans of the Brazilian Navy

Just days away from knowing the result of the bidding for constructing four Tamandaré Class Corvettes (CCTs), as the date of 03/26 has been set, the finalist consortia of the bidding will be informed by the Brazilian Navy of the intention to launch new bids.
A broader planning of the Brazilian Navy reveals the intention to have a minimum of 12 escort ships by the end of the 2030s and, in the long term, to reach an ideal number of 18 of these vessels.

The Brazilian Navy will not promise, at this time, to the finalist consortia, that it will contract new ships, but the winner of the Corvette bidding will be a strong favorite for these other two contracts.
The expectation is that the first batch will follow the same mold as this CCT bidding, that is, corvettes or light frigates, with some project evolutions being implemented.

Fleet Renewal

A survey conducted by the Brazilian Navy found that in 15 years it will be necessary to rebuild, in addition to the escort squadron, its support squadron, which includes transport and supply vessels, and its Mine Countermeasure Force, in Bahia and Itaguaí, which, as it is internally commented, will be the new Naval Base of the Submarine Command.

Another bet from the Navy for the future would be a new order, so that by 2035, it can include another dock ship in its fleet, which could be of the Makassar class.

There was a dispute in this CCT bidding, did you see? Pernambuco disagreed with São Paulo about the tax exemption that the latter granted to shipbuilding companies aiming for the contract to remain in São Paulo! Click here for details!

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Discover which are the highest-paying jobs in Brazil, with salaries above R$ 20,000, in fields such as technology, medicine, finance, and industry.

Coconut husks become natural logs to protect eroding coasts in the USA, with biodegradable fibers used in living shorelines to hold plants, reduce wave force, and restore areas destroyed by storms like Sandy in New Jersey.

Tiny blue octopus discovered in the depths near the Galápagos Islands: the small animal, the size of a golf ball, was found at almost 1,800 meters deep and surprised scientists, who reveal they have never seen a creature like this in the depths of the tropical Pacific.

The self-working litter box: smart bathroom uses AI to recognize up to 5 cats, automatically separates waste, controls odor, and transforms pet hygiene into a routine monitored by a smartphone.
