[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]The Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS), located in Pernambuco, was able to deliver the vessel Abdias Nascimento on the stipulated deadline to Transpetro last Thursday (September 14), and without wasting any time, Petrobras’ subsidiary has already set sail towards the Campos Basin, demonstrating the urgency of the state-owned company to get the oil machinery in the region up and running once and for all. Here are some technical specifications regarding this unit:

The ship measures about 274 meters from end to end and can carry no more, no less than 1 million barrels of oil on each trip, in addition to being able to operate in Brazil and in the most remote places around the globe. The Abadias belongs to the Suezmax category, which now integrates and maximizes Transpetro’s fleet portfolio. With this exponential increase in its fleet, its customers’ needs are gradually being met with greater operational quality, safety, and compliance with all international regulations.

At the moment, five ships are being constructed at EAS, with 3 of them expected to be completed by 2018 and 2 more in 2019. All of them are Aframax class.

Engagement with Shell and Other Multinational Companies

Aware that the contracts signed with the Atlântico Sul Shipyard will be finalized in 2019, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Fernando Bezerra Coelho Filho, committed to bringing companies like Shell and other industry giants closer to establish new ventures. He also mentioned that he would relax the local content rules to make shipbuilding more attractive for these companies. Today, we know that high tax values in Brazil hinder investments; by lowering these taxes, the naval sector could thrive in 2018. Source: Petrobras and Portos e Navios.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.

Brazil deploys drones to scatter seeds on nearly inaccessible slopes and attempts to transform degraded hills into forests with aerial planting up to 100 times faster, in a green offensive launched in Rio de Janeiro.
