Brazil’s Shipyards Expand Operations While Increasing New Builds

News Analysis: Brazil is presently fabricating 370 ships, including fourteen oil rigs and 28 drill ships for the Petroleum Industry. Although this number of fabrications is small (relative to world ship construction numbers) it will make Ship Purchasers attentive to the country’s building capabilities; this in turn could bring additional orders to Brazil.

New Builds will be necessary as Ship Owners look to replace polluting Aging Vessels that are more costly to operate. Power Plants are definitely more efficient than those built 20 to 30 years ago. To gain most from a ‘Time Charter’ or the “Spot market”, Fuel Consumption may make the difference between a Daily Profit or A Loss.  For example, as the “Baltic Dry Index” falls, as is happening NOW, Operating Efficiency is Imperative for  Ship Owners; they are being paid less for vessel use.

For the myriad of Ship Owners who are highly leveraged, if Interest Rates start to go up, which is likely, Debt Service will increase and many more Bankruptcies will commence. This, the Shipyards of Brazil will have to look out for so they do not gain overcapacity in a possible future market scenario.

For now, Brazil’s Shipyard activities look very bright.

Reality.

Chile To Have International Construction Consortium Build A Huge Suspension Bridge

News Analysis: Chile To Have International Construction Consortium Build A Huge Suspension Bridge Linking Chiloe Island to the Continent. Chiloe Island parallels the Andes and is 190 Km (118 Mi) Long and 65 Km (40 Mi) wide with 155,000+ people living on the Island.

The Suspension Bridge across the channel will be 8,500 feet long and of four traffic lanes. The distance between Support Pillars will be 3,200 feet. As such, it will be one of the longest Suspension Bridges in Latin America.

Korean, Brazilian, French and Norwegian Companies proposed building the bridge in 79 months.  The cost is estimated at $680 Million Dollars.

Experienced Multi-National Engineering Companies cooperating is an efficient Methodology to overcome possible Technical Difficulties in a large project such as this.

The Government of Chile is to be commended for its Vision as regards providing for the Infrastructure needs of its Citizens.

Albatross Acrobatics are Ancient Aeronautic Enabling Anomaly

News Analysis:  Albatross Acrobatics Are Ancient Aeronautic Enabling Anomaly which may have Profound Aircraft Drone Benefits for one. The data these Scientists developed may be  synthesized, with the physical behavior elements discovered,  into Aircraft Drone Design [Hardware and Software]. Intercontinental  Flights with a bare minimum of fuel might be attained as a result. 

An Aircraft Drone carrying Cameras and Telemetry Equipment could engage in extensive Topographic Studies across  an Entire Continent using “ALBATROSS AERONAUTICS” [AA].  Using ‘AA’ for example across dense jungle such as the Amazon Rain-forest of Brazil would allow for little concern of fuel shortage in flight. Another employment might be the continual tracking of very small boats in  waterways of the world such as the “Strait of Malacca” (a 805 kilometer [500 Miles] long waterway dividing Indonesian Sumatra from the Malaysian Peninsula).

Investors who read, think, and then act, may prosper financially from this “Ancient ‘State-Of-The-Art'” Technology used in the Avian World.

Brazilian Technology, Aided, in Part, by Russian Physicist, Can Make Non-Edible Materials Into Bio-fuel

News Analysis: Sugar Cane, Corn, Potato Peels, Wood Fibers and the like, are all suitable progenitor materials for bio-fuel production. By using the aforementioned, rather than discarding them, cleaner fuel for vehicles is available. The beneficial environmental impact to the world, using this methodology, is only limited by the financial resources allocated. Further studies into second generation technology and mass  production facilities are needed to be built throughout the world. Human intellect and money are the answers to these two elements.

Great intellect, as evidenced by Russian Physicist Igor Polikarpov and his associates, can fulfill the first element. The second element: Money, can be fulfilled by entrepreneurs and corporations of the world working with the pertinent governments.

The Relative Depth of Cleanliness

News Analysis: At the microscopic level, people are ‘bathed’ in microbiota of which they ‘naturally’ pay little attention. To counter any untoward effects of the organisms, timely cleansing of one’s hands is of paramount importance. It is necessary to teach one’s children this biologic REALITY.
