Shipyard (ex-Ishibras) That Once Experienced Glory During the Japanese Era Is Operated by Petrobras in the Caju Neighborhood, Port Region of Rio de Janeiro

From the golden days of shipbuilding and of Japanese origin, the Inhaúma Shipyard, operated by Petrobras in the Caju neighborhood, Port Region of Rio de Janeiro, had its power cut off last Wednesday (04/10) due to non-payment to the utility company.
The workers present had to move to other buildings to continue their work, and even the clocking out process could not be recorded.

The Inhaúma shipyard (ex-Ishibras) is of Japanese origin and had its moments of glory during the prosperous times of our shipbuilding industry.
After being closed for years, it was leased by Petrobras in 2013 and its facilities were revitalized by Enseada (EEP), which would convert four oil tankers into the hulls of the future P-74, P-75, P-76, and P-77 platforms that would be destined for the Cessão Onerosa areas in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

Only the hulls of P-74 and P-76 were converted at the shipyard; the hulls of P-75 and P-77 were sent by Petrobras to China.
At the peak of the conversion works for the hulls of P-74 and P-76, over 5,000 direct jobs were created at the shipyard, boosting shipbuilding in Rio de Janeiro.

It is sad to see one of the giants of Brazilian shipbuilding, besides being completely covered in rust in its empty workshops, reach this point.

It is not just the state of Rio de Janeiro that suffers from the crisis in the shipbuilding industry; the recent defeat of the Vard Promar Shipyard in Pernambuco (which was the builder for the “FLV” consortium formed by the Italians Fincantieri and Leonardo shipyard) worsened the situation of the shipbuilding industry in the state.
The lack of orders from the Atlântico Sul Shipyard (EAS) further contributes to the chaos in the sector, and there are even risks of shipyard closures, causing serious concerns for the Metalworkers Union of Pernambuco (Sindmetal-PE). Click here and keep reading this article!

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.

Volkswagen is preparing an SUV derived from the new Amarok to compete with the Toyota SW4 and Haval H9, utilize the Argentine Pacheco factory, and transform a pickup into a more profitable family of products.

Virginia engineers transform 100,000 tons of demolished concrete from the Hampton Roads bridge into artificial reefs in the Chesapeake Bay, turning the debris from a mega-construction project into marine shelter while the old structure was still being dismantled.
