The Expectation Is That the Port of Rio de Janeiro Will Handle About 800 Thousand Tons of Liquid Bulk Per Year

After the testing phase was completed, the Manguinhos Refinery (currently REFIT) resumed operations at the Port of Rio de Janeiro on Friday afternoon (22), with the vessel Stena Performance, which unloaded 40,000m³ of condensed liquid bulk through the underwater pipelines, corresponding to approximately 26,000 tons.

After months of planning and much work from the operational team of the Port Authority of Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ) and REFIT, this first operation was a total success, thus fulfilling the final requirement set by the Brazilian Navy.

From now on, vessels of the same class will arrive every 30 days in an initial phase, with plans to double this scale after the first six months of operation.

As a result, the expectation is that the Port of Rio de Janeiro will handle about 800 thousand tons of liquid bulk per year for REFIT, which will correspond to an increase of 214% in the handling of this type of cargo at the port, compared to the volume recorded in 2018.

The Expectation Is That the Port of Rio de Janeiro Will Handle About 800 Thousand Tons of Liquid Bulk Per Year

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

The Sun fired two X2.5 flares in just 7 hours and knocked out radio communications in the Pacific — NASA warns that 2026 is the peak of the solar cycle and the worst-case scenario would cost the world US$ 9 trillion.

Electric boats can get recharged at sea without a plugged-in cable thanks to a Norwegian magnetic plug of up to 5 MW, created to reduce stops, risks, and complications in maritime operations.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Ukraine puts into action the JEDI interceptor drone, which flies at 350 km/h, reaches 40 km, and already shoots down Shaheds, Gerans, and Russian reconnaissance drones, reinforcing a cheaper, scalable air defense capable of raising interceptions to close to 95%.
