The city hall of Maricá, a municipality in Rio de Janeiro, announced that the offshore displacement operations of oil tankers began today, March 3rd, at the city’s own airport. The transportation activities include the boarding and disembarking of Petrobras workers who operate on oil platforms in the Santos Basin, which is the largest offshore sedimentary basin in Brazil, covering a total area of over 350,000 square kilometers, extending from the state of Rio de Janeiro to Florianópolis (SC).

The city of Maricá is being seen as one of the strategic locations in the State of Rio de Janeiro for transportation, which has helped the logistics of people working offshore. Previously, only the airports in Cabo Frio, Campos, and Jacarepaguá conducted the transports.

The company that oversees the airport, the Maricá Development Company (Codemar), expects to conduct three to four flight schedules daily through the offshore air transport company Omni Taxi Aéreo. The itineraries will last about 45 minutes for each trip, round trip, between the mainland and the oil platforms, which are located approximately 360 kilometers (200 nautical miles) away. The transportation means used are AW-139 helicopters, which can carry up to 12 passengers and 3 crew members. In addition to Omni, other taxi companies will also have opportunities to operate in the city of Rio de Janeiro in question, Maricá.

Offshore Operation Represents Innovation in the Economy of Rio de Janeiro

Olavo Noleto, the president of the Maricá Development Company (Codemar), informed the city hall that the start of operations is a milestone for a new economy emerging in the city due to oil activity.

According to the publication made on the website of the City Hall of Maricá, Olavo Noleto stated: “In addition to the revenue that will be generated for the municipality, the importance of air transport from now on will also be to attract companies that may settle in Maricá and boost commerce, among other sectors, like hospitality and restaurants.”

Since 2018, the Maricá airport has been properly organized and equipped. The city has been training a specialized team to work with offshore operators. “Maricá has prepared a lot for this day, to take these workers to the platforms departing from here, from our city. We are aware of the bottleneck that exists in the state within this logistics, and we are showing that the city and the airport are organized to meet the demand,” concluded the president of Codemar.

Offshore Operation Represents Innovation in the Economy of Rio de Janeiro

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
