The return of the shipyards in Angra dos Reis and Jurong is now more likely to resume construction contracts than it was a few years ago, before the entire crisis that hit the Brazilian naval sector. The fact is that Petrobras started negotiations this week with Sete Brasil for operations at the Brasfels and Jurong shipyards for 4 more drilling rigs. According to the state-owned company’s assessment, Sete Brasil has ample capacity to carry out the work for these units, but before that, it needs to resolve some bureaucratic pending issues.

The first of these is the issue of judicial recovery, the reorganization of the debt with its creditors, and the acceptance of Petrobras’ terms by these same creditors. But all of this has suggested that there will be a positive outcome. The original contract was for the construction of 28 rigs, Petrobras cut it down to 26, and thus far, the contractual terms are limited to these 4. Here is the union’s statement below:

“Sete Brasil has taken an important step towards advancing in the judicial recovery it entered into 2 years ago when it acknowledged the debt of 18 billion with creditors.
Yesterday Petrobras, a partner and client of Sete, informed that the state-owned company’s Board of Directors approved terms for a possible agreement within the scope of an extrajudicial mediation that involves the resumption of 4 rigs and the termination of the contracts for the other 24 units spread across Brazil.
Now Sete Brasil needs to present a series of requirements and the creditors need to accept the terms presented by Petrobras for the agreement to finally be closed.

The trend, if an extrajudicial agreement between Sete Brasil and Petrobras is closed, is that the 4 resumed rigs will be those at the Brasfels and Jurong shipyards – ES, which are the most advanced. We still do not have a definite date for when the resumption of work will start, as there is still a path to follow that could be quick or could take time. However, an important step has been taken since these works have been halted and without direction since 2014. The Union is closely monitoring the situation, and everyone will be informed of any news.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.
