If Approved By The FMM, Billion-Dollar Package Promises To Revolutionize Inland Navigation In The North, Focusing On Works In Pará And Investments In Amazonas

A billion-dollar investment package approved by the Merchant Marine Fund (FMM) is expected to transform inland navigation in the Northern region. In May, the FMM council authorized R$ 2 billion for projects in the port and naval sector of the Amazon, with a primary focus on the state of Pará.

Of this total, R$ 1.4 billion will be allocated to Pará’s inland navigation. The construction of 66 container ships, 42 bulk carriers, and 8 push boats is planned.

A floating transshipment system will also be implemented, allowing efficient movement of cargo between ships, barges, and trucks.

The initiative is led by the Ministry of Ports and Airports, which seeks to meet the growing infrastructure needs in the region. Amazonas will also receive R$ 563.9 million, divided among four distinct projects.

The company Cidade Transportes will receive R$ 169.6 million to build 24 solid bulk barges, two tank barges, and one barge with a crane.

On the other hand, EdLopes Transportes Ltda will receive R$ 220.2 million for the construction of 36 barges and three push boats, in addition to generating 787 direct jobs.

Wilson Sons Serviços Marítimos Ltda will have R$ 157 million to manufacture two support vessels for navigation. An additional R$ 16.3 million will be used for the repair of two tugboats.

This regional package is part of a record amount of R$ 22 billion released in a single FMM session. A total of 26 projects in Brazil will benefit, focusing on new constructions, renovations, improvements in dry docks, expansion of shipyards, and port works.

The initiative reinforces the strategic importance of inland navigation for the development of the Amazon and the strengthening of the Brazilian naval industry.

R$ 2 Billion Package Will Transform River Navigation in the Amazon Focusing on Pará and Generating Jobs in the Naval Sector

If Approved By The FMM, Billion-Dollar Package Promises To Revolutionize Inland Navigation In The North, Focusing On Works In Pará And Investments In Amazonas

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.

“No one will make us change the Pix,” says Lula after the US report.

In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.

New technology with lights is being tested in the most dangerous stretch of Serra do Mar in Paraná to alert drivers, reduce delayed reactions, and try to curb the rise in deaths on the highway.

Alert in the global energy market: Severe tropical cyclone hits the coast and disrupts gas production at major plants in Australia, threatening global supply.

“No one will make us change the Pix,” says Lula after the US report.

He started running at 66 years old, broke records at 82, and is now a subject of study for having a metabolic age comparable to that of a 20-year-old, in a case that is intriguing scientists and inspiring the world.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a cost per shot close to zero, the DragonFire laser could change naval warfare in 2027 and provide British ships with nearly unlimited defense against drones.

A British startup creates tires that generate electricity in electric vehicles when passing over potholes, speed bumps, and cracks.

Europe is trying to create an ammonia-powered marine engine without auxiliary fuel, which could unlock the race for giant emission-free ships. The technology aims to eliminate one of the biggest obstacles to clean maritime propulsion.

A 4,500-ton frigate with just over 100 crew members, state-of-the-art radar, and cruise missiles is being touted as the new standard of naval warfare in the 21st century.

With a length of 121 meters and four rigid sails of 36 meters that automatically rotate to capture the wind, Canopée is the world’s first hybrid industrial cargo ship powered by wind, used to transport rockets and reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% on transoceanic routes.
