Recent Agreements Closed and New Projects for Brazilian Shipbuilding Open Up a New Range of Opportunities That Have Transcended the Speculation Phase and Are Now Concrete Facts

New horizons for Brazil’s shipbuilding industry. Several closed and latent projects with great potential for generating thousands of jobs and, above all, showing the highest authorities in our country that this industry also deserves attention and more investments. Our former partner, Renato Oliveira, who recently found a professional position in this area, exemplifies below in more detail:

Good News for Brazilian Shipbuilding!

1) The contract between the Brazilian Navy and the Águas Azuis consortium for the construction of 4 frigates at the Oceana shipyard in Itajaí (SC) is scheduled to be signed on March 4 of this year.
The project is worth US$ 1.6 billion (R$ 6.4 billion) and more than two thousand new direct jobs and six thousand indirect jobs will be created over the 8 to 10 years of construction.

2) The Brasfels shipyard (RJ), after spending November and December testing welders, torchmen, grinders, etc., started February with daily recruitment calls for hiring. It is worth noting that after much negotiation, Petrobras confirmed demand for 4 of the 28 rigs contracted and canceled by Sete Brasil.

One of the most challenging bridges in the world is assembled in Malaysia with helicopters, prefabricated parts, and a single pillar to support the curved deck over the mountain.

Around 7,000 jobs are expected to emerge in Navegantes with a new billion-dollar order from Petrobras, which closed R$ 11 billion in contracts to build four hybrid propulsion vessels equipped with underwater robots for the pre-salt layer at the Santa Catarina shipyard.

China raises an alert in the military industry by producing parts for the J-20 fighter jet in a nearly human-free factory, where AI, robots, and autonomous vehicles cut more than 80% of manual labor and double efficiency.

While stadiums in Brazil need hours to cover the field, Tottenham in London transforms a 9,000-ton natural grass field into an NFL arena in just 25 minutes with unprecedented technology.

3) The Jurong shipyard (ES) will continue with two other rigs from the same contract and, along with the integration of the FPSO P71 coming from China, is also expected to generate jobs in 2020.

With the increase in offshore activity, maintenance work and modifications on support vessels, which had been idle for years awaiting contracts, are now underway. Last month, the Mauá shipyard in Niterói completed the modification of the PLSV Skandi Vitória from TechnipFMC to fulfill a contract in Africa. 300 direct jobs were created in the works.

Full steam ahead and never give up!

Good News for Brazilian Shipbuilding!

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

A new 3D printing technology promises to give robots muscles similar to humans.
