Pilots Marcio Santos Teixeira and Fábio Rodrigues Alves de Abreu Will Receive Global Recognition in London for Preventing Serious Damage to Dock Structures and Oil Facilities and Avoiding a Major Marine Pollution Incident

Day: Monday, 10/19, 9:30 AM
Location: Pilots’ Association Headquarters, in front of the Pilots’ Bridge, at Ponta da Praia
Participants: Carlos Alberto de Souza Filho, President of the São Paulo Pilots Association; Pilots Marcio Santos Teixeira and Fábio Rodrigues Alves de Abreu, winners of the IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea from the International Maritime Organization.

The IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea, considered the highest global recognition, was awarded by the International Maritime Organization, among 31 competitors, to pilots Marcio Santos Teixeira and Fábio Rodrigues Alves de Abreu, members of São Paulo Pilots, nominated by Brazil, for their determination, professionalism, and expertise in ship handling demonstrated during an emergency caused by extreme weather conditions while operating two oil tankers loaded with oil at the Almirante Barroso Terminal, in the Port of São Sebastião, in April 2019. This is the second time that Brazilians have been nominated for the award. The award will be presented at the IMO headquarters in London on a date to be determined.

As a result of the courageous actions of pilots Marcio and Abreu, no more lives were lost, serious damage to dock structures and oil facilities was avoided, and a major marine pollution incident was prevented.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The reign of carpets in the entrance hall has come to an end: aluminum mats emerge as a new trend that hardly gets dirty, lasts longer, and improves the hygiene of spaces.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

Monterrey is erecting a 484-meter tower that will dethrone all the skyscrapers in Latin America — it has already surpassed the 52nd floor and there are 170 meters left to the top…

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.
