Wilson Sons Adopts Renewable Energy at Offshore Base in Rio, Eliminating 22 Tons of CO₂ Annually and Reinforcing Efficiency and Environmental Commitment.

Wilson Sons began operating this month with 100% renewable energy at its Offshore Support Base in Guanabara Bay. The initiative is already resulting in the elimination of about 22 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. Sustainable electricity now powers all areas of the base, bringing environmental and economic gains for the company and its clients.

Renewable Energy Replaces Diesel and Optimizes Vessel Operations

By providing shore power for docked vessels, Wilson Sons allows these ships to turn off their own diesel generators.

This represents a reduction in operational costs and a significantly cleaner operation.

All consumed energy is certified through the international I-REC seal, which proves its origin from renewable sources, such as solar and wind.

This supply encompasses lighting, offices, workshops, and the systems that directly support the ships — an innovation that raises the environmental standard of offshore activities.

The Executive Director of Offshore Support Bases, Mariana Jannuzzi, highlighted the strategic importance of the change:

“We remain committed to our decarbonization journey, focusing on innovative and responsible solutions throughout our entire chain of operations,” she stated.

According to her, the impact of renewable energy extends beyond the base, positively affecting the entire logistics chain linked to offshore operations.

Located in the Caju neighborhood, the Rio Base has five docking berths and an area of over 65,000 square meters.

Its strategic geographic position makes it a key point in supporting pre-salt activities, offering services such as cargo handling, material and equipment storage, environmental support, fluid plant, and operations for drilling campaigns.

In addition to the unit in Rio, Wilson Sons also operates a base in Niterói, with the advantage of being the only private terminals in Guanabara Bay with docking on both shores.

Another highlight is the Guaxindiba Pipe Park, located 20 km from the Niterói Base, which carries out storage and specialized services in an area of 63,000 m², including inspection and hydro-blasting of pipes with highly qualified teams.

With the implementation of renewable energy in its operations, Wilson Sons reinforces its role as a leader in sustainable logistical solutions in the maritime sector.

The energy transition in its bases represents a concrete step towards decarbonization and innovation in offshore support.

Wilson Sons demonstrates that it is possible to combine operational efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental commitment — a model that meets present demands and anticipates future needs.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

China’s neighbor surprises the world by hitting 1,200 seconds in a hypersonic missile engine test and sparking a military alert.

With a 1.6-liter 118 hp engine, a 460-liter trunk, and a 7-inch multimedia system, the Nissan V-Drive 2026 is sold in Mexico starting at 339,900 Mexican pesos and relies on low maintenance costs to win over app drivers, fleet owners, and self-employed professionals.

Fuel cells that use bacteria on the seabed could eliminate expensive battery replacement and keep submerged sensors working for much longer.

While countries compete for land for solar panels, Switzerland unrolls solar panels like a carpet between the tracks of an active railway.

The duel between Shein and Temu gained a new chapter in London, with accusations of mass copying, a dispute over suppliers, and an impact on global fast-fashion.
