PRJ Boats Shipyard In The United States Becomes A Reference In Catamaran Construction, Creating Tenders And Adapted Boats With Accessibility

Marine lover Pedro Camargo — who has been living in the USA since 2019 — sailor since the age of 6, when he took first place in a sailing competition, dedicated his entire life to crossing oceans in command of large boats (summing around 150 thousand nautical miles sailed), decided it was time to venture out and create a shipyard for building catamaran vessels in the United States.

Three years ago, Pedro Camargo decided to bring his dream to life. For this, the Brazilian enlisted the help of friend Robson Gomes to create PRJ Boats. The shipyard is located in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida.

Currently, two high-performance catamaran boats: the Cat 40 and Cat 60, designed by designer Daniel Bolsoni Castilla, are under construction and taking shape at the shipyard.

The Brazilian shipyard focuses on two segments: tenders and boats adapted for accessibility. Tenders, for those who do not know, are support boats designed to be docked inside the mothership — they are used to transport passengers for tours and other activities.

With his experience as a captain, the Brazilian knows very well the resources that the catamaran must have for a perfect transition between the mothership and the dock or a beautiful beach — or even for fishing or diving, other ways to use a support boat, which is currently a strong trend in European and American countries.

There is a growing demand for this type of vessel, which — to meet the discerning public of cruises — has evolved from just being an orange-painted rescue boat, as required by SOLAS, into a multi-purpose and increasingly sophisticated boat. “For the crew of superyachts, having a good tender is essential,” said Pedro Camargo.

According to the businessman, the greater the utility, the higher the preference. “When it’s a younger crowd that needs to get to the shore, it’s not necessary to get too close to the beach: they jump in the water and go ahead. With older people, it is necessary to anchor, raise the engines, and pull the boat by the stern to the disembarkation or embarkation point,” concludes Camargo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

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.

This technology could retire washboards and regular washing machines: Xiaomi launches a three-drum washer with an automatic detergent dosing system, washes clothes at 95°C simultaneously, prevents cross-contamination, and costs less than R$ 3,000 in China.

In a country where about 75% of the territory is mountainous and little land is left for planting, Japan has turned scarcity into luxury, selling pairs of Yubari melons for amounts that reached nearly US$ 45,000 and cultivating the true wasabi that 90% of the world has never tasted.

A bi-oceanic railway is expected to connect the Brazilian coast to the Chinese port of Chancay in Peru and cross the South American continent from coast to coast. It is part of the same package of R$ 140 billion in railways that the government is opening to investors later this year.

Japan is about to launch a satellite that captures solar energy in space and sends electricity to Earth in the form of microwaves. The technology promises to generate energy 24 hours a day without relying on clouds, night, or solar panels on the ground.
