The Works of the Arpoador, Guarapari, Urca, and Frade Drilling Rigs Are Highly Anticipated by the Cities of Angra dos Reis (RJ) and Aracruz (ES)

After the announcement of job openings at the Brasfels shipyard, another good news for workers in the Brazilian shipbuilding industry was the significant step taken by the winner of the auction for the drilling rigs from Sete Brasil, which are docked at the finishing dock of the Brasfels shipyard in Angra dos Reis (RJ) and at the Jurong in Aracruz (ES).

The Magni Partners group and MIC Capital Partners (a Mubadala group company) have formed a special purpose company (SPC) aimed at owning and managing the drillships Arpoador, Guarapari (under construction at the Jurong shipyard in Aracruz (ES)), and the semi-submersibles Urca and Frade, currently being built at Brasfels.

The important step was the approval by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade) of the transaction to purchase the SPC by the aforementioned conglomerates, which will now become the owner and operator of the rigs. The equipment will be operated by ETESCO, a Brazilian company providing infrastructure, services, and oil and gas services.

Remembering

It is worth noting that Magni Partners was the winner of the Sete Brasil drilling rigs auction, held in April 2019, with a bid of US$ 296 million, surpassing competitors that included the Brasfels shipyard itself.

Sete Brasil was established in 2010 and entered into charter contracts with Petrobras for the construction of 28 rigs capable of operating in the pre-salt at a water depth of 3,000 meters.

Remembering

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.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

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.

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.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

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.

The USA will bury up to five inclined wells under the Pacific seabed to create an underground desalination intake that will draw in saltwater and produce 19 million liters of drinking water per day.

End of traditional plaster? New material gains ground in construction for better fire resistance, moisture handling, and maintaining stability in walls, ceilings, and high-demand internal areas.

Finnish company creates recycled plastic and biomass blocks that fit together without cement, are 10 times lighter than common blocks, and have already been used to build schools in earthquake-affected areas.

Historic road in Brazil progresses towards completion in 2026 with 88.6 km of paving, an investment of R$ 254 million, 86 km already completed, and a new connection in western Bahia to shorten routes, reduce isolation, and improve regional flow.

A US startup wants to build a 10 km space cannon to launch multi-ton payloads into orbit at Mach 23, replacing part of the rockets with a colossal structure that looks like a science fiction weapon.
