Satellite Images Reveal Advancements in Oxagon, Floating Port Megaproject in Saudi Arabia That Promises to Revolutionize Commerce Between Three Continents.

Recent satellite images have revealed the rapid progress in the construction of Oxagon, a floating industrial complex that is part of the Neom project in Saudi Arabia.

Considered the largest construction site in the world, Oxagon emerges as the centerpiece of the Saudi government’s Vision 2030, a strategic plan to reduce the economic dependence on oil.

Oxagon is being built in the Red Sea, a region of global strategic importance.

This location places the port directly on one of the busiest maritime routes on the planet, connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe through the Suez Canal.

The geographical position provides Oxagon with important commercial advantages, facilitating the flow of goods between continents.

First Automated Cranes Arrived

Progress is not limited to construction. Recently, the Neom Port received its first fully automated cranes controlled remotely, a milestone for port modernization in Saudi Arabia.

The Neom company itself announced the arrival of the equipment on its LinkedIn page, highlighting the boost this will bring to trade, automation, and the creation of technology jobs in the country.

Melissa Blake, port director of Neom, expressed excitement: “Neom Port is thrilled to receive the first batch of cranes and other cargo handling equipment as we take another step closer to realizing our vision.”

Industrial City Will Be Powered by Renewable Energy

Oxagon will not only be a port but also an innovative industrial city. The plan envisions that all operations will be powered exclusively by renewable energy, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s commitment to sustainable technologies.

The city aims to house around 90,000 residents by 2030, as stipulated in Vision 2030.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized, in 2021, the strategic role of Oxagon: “It will contribute to Saudi Arabia’s regional trade and support the creation of a new focal point for global trade flows,” he stated to the Al-Arabiya portal.

Billion-Dollar Green Hydrogen Project Under Development

In addition to the port complex, the Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), linked to Neom, is building the largest green hydrogen facility in the world within Oxagon.

The investment reaches US$ 8.4 billion, aiming to make the site a benchmark for clean energy.

Oxagon’s CEO, Vishal Wanchoo, emphasized the balance sought in the project: “Industrial development cannot continue at the expense of people or the environment. We are offering a compact, mixed-use city where industry, nature, and community coexist.”

Neom Port is planned to become the main commercial gateway of northwestern Saudi Arabia.

The expectation is that the smart logistics center will quickly connect Asia, Europe, and Africa, enhancing Saudi Arabia’s role in global trade.

Meanwhile, construction continues at an accelerated pace, with satellite images capturing the ongoing advancements of the massive floating structure.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Aursjøvegen in Norway is a 100-kilometer gravel road that crosses chasms and dark tunnels carved into the rock at an altitude of 947 meters in the fjords and is only open for four months a year.

The Corolla from 2015 to 2019 depreciates so little that a 10-year-old model is still worth over 76 thousand reais, and owners treat this sedan as a safe investment thanks to its reputation for durability that no competitor has been able to match.

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.
