The naval construction industry team also includes Embraer Defense and Security, as well as its subsidiary Atech. TKMS, based in Kiel, Germany, does not have surface ship production facilities, which means the company must take measures for local production when selling its main ship design abroad.

The choice of the Oceana shipyard, specialized in offshore support vessels and owned by the CBO Group from Rio de Janeiro, was the result of economic and logistical analyses by TKMS and turned out to be an “ideal option,” according to a spokesperson.

ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, with the acquisition of the Oceana shipyard in Itajaí, claims that one of its main objectives is to boost the naval construction industry in Brazil, as the idea is not only to build ships for the Brazilian Navy but also to receive orders from other countries.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Argentina’s TV erupts and fires back: “the minister is selling us out to the Brazilians” after a snow campaign becomes the target of mockery.

Japan teaches the world how giant arched gates weighing up to 530 tons protect Osaka from devastating typhoons, block storm surges in minutes, and drain 330 m³/s to prevent urban flooding.

One of the biggest mudslides ever recorded on the Trans-Amazon Highway trapped trucks, cars, and motorcycles at the same spot for three consecutive days while a tractor with a winch tried to free them one by one under the rain.
