The Anticipated Frigate Tamandaré Is Getting Closer to Its Launch to Sea. Recently, Dredging Began at the Thyssenkrupp Brasil Sul Shipyard, Located in Itajaí, Santa Catarina. This Process Is Crucial to Prepare the Shipyard Dock to Receive the Frigate and Ensure Safe Depth for Its Navigation.
The dredging is being carried out by the dredger RAM 316, which is deepening the shipyard dock. The dredger works like a huge vacuum cleaner, sucking up sediments from the riverbed and depositing them in a tank on board. Once the tank is full, the dredger transports these sediments to a specific area at sea, known as “bota fora,” where they are discarded.
The Frigate Tamandaré is already in the final stage of construction and is set to be launched to sea in August of this year. Four frigates of the Tamandaré class will be built, which are part of a larger project to modernize the Brazilian Navy. Currently, the first frigate is already out of the shipyard shed, in an outdoor area, where part of the bow and the superstructure of the ship is visible.
After the Launch to Sea, the Frigate Tamandaré Will Still Undergo Sea Trials Before Being Delivered to the Brazilian Navy
These tests are essential to ensure that all systems and equipment are functioning properly. During these tests, the frigate will sail to sea, returning to the shipyard for any adjustments before final delivery.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

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.

Four 24-meter suction sails that generate up to 7 times more lift than traditional sails have been installed on a Maersk oil tanker. The autonomous system can reduce consumption by up to 20% and is already recording savings of up to 5.4 tons of fuel per day at sea, with annual cuts potentially reaching thousands of tons on a single vessel.
The construction of the Frigate Tamandaré has been closely monitored by enthusiasts and experts. Since the beginning of the steel cutting, all stages of the project have been publicized. The anticipation is high for the launch, and both the Navy and the Thyssenkrupp Brasil Sul shipyard have collaborated to maintain transparency and community engagement.
The Frigate Tamandaré Represents an Important Milestone in the Modernization of the Brazilian Navy, and the Start of Dredging at the Shipyard Is a Crucial Step Toward Realizing This Project. With the Launch Approaching, All Eyes Are on Itajaí, Where the New Frigate Will Come to Life Soon.
