In Rio de Janeiro, every week employees of the Mauá Shipyard need to use suction pumps on a vessel docked at the site to remove water entering through a crack in the hull. As its construction was not completed because Mauá had to cease operations in 2015, this vessel has been suffering from the elements, without repairs and periodic maintenance, it is gradually rusting and deteriorating.

Edson Rocha, who leads the Metalworkers’ Union, said he feels saddened by this scenario. It’s simply a lot of money wasted with this vessel sitting at the dock. But moving forward, when we recover from the crisis (if), the costs to complete the repairs will be exorbitant.

At this moment, there are 3 vessels with unfinished works at the Mauá Shipyard, but the list of this “Steel Cemetery” extends throughout the country. This is a reflection of the corruption scandals orchestrated within Petrobras.

Exploring shipyards in Brazil, it was discovered that there are many offshore units stalled in shipyards at various stages of construction. The total number of idle units is:

3 ships
7 rigs
1 hull
4 inland waterway convoys

Would you believe that if we combined all these stalled units, the amount of the loss easily reaches US$6 billion? (commercial dollar)

Like, there are many jobs that are not being generated, and the cost only increases if these units remain idle in the shipyards. At the time, these vessels were ordered for prices much higher than the international market, but since the goal was to favor Brazilian labor and the economy, they were approved here, which ultimately didn’t help much after the crisis hit. See below the shipyards with units in the yard:

Atlântico Sul Shipyard (Ipojuca, PE) – 4 rigs
Jurong (Aracruz, ES) – 1 rig
Ilha SA Shipyard (Rio de Janeiro, RJ) – 3 container ships
Mauá (Niterói, RJ) – 3 oil tankers
Brasfels (Angra dos Reis, RJ) – 2 rigs
Rio Tietê Shipyard (Araçatuba, SP) – 4 inland waterway convoys
Ecovix (Rio Grande, RS) – 1 Hull of the P-71 platform

Remember that all these shipyards are undergoing judicial recovery, some have even stated that they intend to resume some works this year, but if they cannot, 2018 is certain. According to the union and the companies managing the shipyards, starting this semester, there will be prospects for improvements due to interest from the private sector.

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.

Samsung launches Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G in Brazil with advanced AI, 50 MP camera, and up to 6 years of updates.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

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.
