The Rio Grande Shipyard, in the Ecovix complex, was designed to operate in the shipbuilding area for oil platform construction and support vessels

As an alternative to shipbuilding, last Thursday (09/10), with a forecast to finish this Monday (14), the Rio Grande Shipyard, under the command of Ecovix, began the largest shipment of cattle ever carried out at the port of Rio Grande.

About 25,000 animals will be transported to Turkey and Lebanon. The last record occurred in March of this year, when 20,000 head of cattle were sent to Jordan.

The shipyard, which has felt the downturn in shipbuilding in Brazil, has also been shipping metal scrap. In the last 12 months, the shipyard operated on average one vessel per month. The dock has a length of 360 meters; however, it can accommodate two ships of up to 200 meters each.

With the chance of constructing a polar ship at the Ecovix shipyard, a new breath of hope arises for the naval hub of Rio Grande, which will translate into many job vacancies in the region

Ecovix is negotiating an agreement with the Chilean ASMAR to build the first Polar ship at its shipyard in the city of Rio Grande.

According to Ecovix’s operational director, Ricardo Ávila, the project is in the budgeting stage and the deadline for submitting proposals ends on November 11.

This is a different construction; the new project will help the Brazilian naval sector develop even further, acquiring unprecedented knowledge in Brazil, as it is not an oil platform, but a polar ship. It is a complex vessel for the Brazilian Navy.

According to the director of Ecovix, it is still early to estimate the values of this venture and how many workers would be involved in the services. Currently, there are approximately 200 permanent employees working at the shipyard.

The economic crisis in Rio Grande occurred on December 12, 2016, when there were mass layoffs at the Ecovix yard. In 2010, the construction of eight hulls for Petrobras work was planned, which would mean 20 years of work and many jobs.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

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.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

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.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
