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

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.

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.

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.

Beach puts São Paulo city on the national tourism scene with a 350,000 m² complex, 15 million liters of water, a beach with waves, four beachfront resorts, an international standard winery, and one of the largest zip lines in the country.

The new NR-1 has arrived and promises to impact companies in Brazil: mental health, impossible goals, and harassment are now firmly in the sights of labor inspection.

Paraguay releases a US$ 150,000 visa and triggers an alert among Brazilian investors seeking permanent residency, less bureaucracy, and an escape from the high taxes charged in Brazil.

The evolution of the energy matrix: shared generation boosts B2B competitiveness

What it means when a person doesn’t want to hug or be hugged: psychology reveals a connection with 4 attachment styles, social anxiety, emotional traumas, and even haphephobia, a condition that can turn a simple touch into strong psychological discomfort.
