Temasek Makes Proposal for Keppel and Deal Will Change the Parent Company of the Brasfels Shipyard in Angra dos Reis, Since the Buyer Will Own 51% of the Conglomerate

Singapore’s Keppel, the company that controls the Brasfels Shipyard in Angra dos Reis, has received a proposal from the state investor Temasek Holdings to sell control of the Keppel Corp conglomerate. At the beginning of the month, we received good news about the continuation of work at the shipyard.
The agreement is worth US $ 4.1 billion and could accelerate consolidation in the platform construction sector, which is struggling against the effects of low oil prices.

The offshore and marine unit of Keppel and Sembcorp Marine, the two local players, have been hit by a prolonged slowdown in the global sector over the past five years, with falling oil prices.
“There’s been talk for a long time about a potential restructuring of the businesses under Keppel Corp and Sembcorp, such as a merger of the marine and offshore shipyards,” said Low Pei Han, senior research analyst at the Bank of Singapore.

Long-Term Value

“The partial offer reflects our view that there is inherent long-term value in Keppel’s businesses, despite the challenges posed by the current economic and business outlook,” said Tan Chong Lee, president of Temasek International, in a statement.

Keppel is involved in platform construction, property development, infrastructure, and investments.

Both Keppel and Sembcorp Marine have been among a number of companies involved in a wide-ranging corruption investigation carried out by the operation Lava Jato in Brazil.
At the end of 2017, Keppel’s platform construction unit paid US $ 422 million to resolve charges that it paid bribes to secure contracts in Brazil, including with the indebted Sete Brasil.

Keppel and Sembcorp Marine said earlier this month that they reached agreements with Sete Brasil on contracts to build drill ships and platforms and that Brasfels in Angra dos Reis will resume work on two of these drill ships.

Long-Term Value

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

A R$11.9 billion train that promises to revolutionize mobility in São Paulo and make trips of about 1 hour gains new progress with the inclusion of another city in the project.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.

Climate records from trees, corals, sediments, and caves show that the current warming is the only one in the last 2,000 years to affect the entire planet at the same time and advance faster than any natural change ever recorded, something that did not occur even during the Medieval Warm Period.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.
