Referring to Petrobras, BW Offshore said on Monday (30) that the contracts for the FPSO reached their final terms on Sunday, March 29. The FPSO Cidade de São Mateus operated in the Camarupim field between 2009 and 2015. In February 2015, the FPSO was involved in a gas explosion with fatal consequences.

At the time of the accident, the unit was operated by Petrobras and BW Offshore in the Camarupim and Camarupim Norte fields, in Espírito Santo, approximately 120 km off the coast in southeastern Brazil. Nine of the 74 people on board lost their lives in the accident.

Due to delays in approval in Brazil, the process of towing the damaged FPSO from the offshore field to the coast took more than a year. The FPSO has been in lay-up in Singapore since then.

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.

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.

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.

New technology may retire the common trash can: smart trash bin seals the bag by itself, automatically changes the refill, opens without touch, detects excess trash, and transforms household disposal into an almost contactless task.
