Pedra Branca do Amapari City Hall seizes mining company machinery and equipment
DEV Mineração would be transporting ore irregularly and changing the transport route to escape inspection of the scales.
Inspectors from the Pedra Branca do Amapari City Council seized machines and equipment from the company DEV Mineração. The mining company would be loading ore with irregular strength to avoid inspection of the scales by the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT), which do not work at night. The machines were taken to the city hall courtyard.
According to a city hall source, DEV Mineração tried to enter through an access through the neighboring municipality of Serra do Navio so as not to attract the attention of the Pedra Branca authorities.
After reports that there were machines and trucks in the ore yard, it was discovered that DEV was in the area trying to load illegally, without a license from the municipality and without authorization from environmental agencies.
Those who were carrying out the transport operation irregularly were charged and the city council announced that it will forward the case to the Public Prosecutor's Office, accusing DEV Mineração of promoting illegal extraction of ore, that is, without the consent of the municipality, and traveling via a different route. (Serra do Navio), operating clandestinely. The company has not yet commented on the incident and the seizure of its machines and equipment by the city hall.

Eni readies exploration well near Kazakhstan’s largest offshore field Well will target commercial oil and gas at Abay block in Kazakhstan’s Caspian Sea waters. Updated 25 January 2024, 08:58
According to Astana-based Isatay Operating, the Abay wildcat was originally planned for 2021 but has been repeatedly delayed. However, Kazakh-owned drilling barge Caspian Explorer, which was lined up to drill the well in 2021, remains the rig of choice for the operator’s programme, despite standing idle at the Caspian port of Aktau since 2018.
The Caspian Explorer is owned by UK-listed Caspian Sunrise, in which a group of individual Kazakh investors hold an interest of more than 48%. The company bought the barge for less than $3.7 million in 2020, according to its annual report. According to Caspian Sunrise, the company signed its first commercial drilling charter for the Caspian Explorer in March 2023 to drill a well to a planned depth of 2500 metres in the summer of 2024 with Isatay Operating.
Based on the agreed terms, Caspian Sunrise expects the contract to bring an operating profit of between $10 million and $15 million, and in December said work is under way to prepare the barge for the drilling assignment.
According to the latest technical and environmental impact filings submitted by Isatay Operating to Kazakh authorities and prepared by Permnipineft, a project design subsidiary of Russian oil producer Lukoil, Caspian Explorer is capable of working in a water depth of between 2.5 and 5.5 metres.
However, in its filings, Permnipineft warned that pre-drill preparations may require the contractor to drop thousands of tonnes of stones to the sea bottom at the drilling site to aid a successful installation of the barge, because the expected water depth at the location is eight metres.
The Kazakh sector of the Caspian Sea has become increasingly shallow over the past two decades, with the average sea depth falling by 35 centimetres between 2021 and 2023, according to Kazakhstan’s Environment and Natural Resources Ministry.
In the previous decade, shallow-water exploration and development in the Caspian Sea came to a standstill following a rapid increase in costs and complications at Kashagan, with the development project requiring the time-consuming and expensive construction of artificial islands in shallow waters.
The rising costs, falling water levels and technical complications are all regraded by industry observers to have helped deter investments in similar offshore projects in Kazakhstan.
The Caspian Explorer, which will employ a zero-discharge policy, will be supplied from the Caspian port of Bautino, which lies about 160 kilometres away and also serves Kashagan.
Once the Caspian Explorer has been installed on location, Permnipineft expects the drilling, testing and liquidation of the well to last about 62 days in total.However, this timeframe may easily increase by at least 15 days because of anticipated adverse weather and poss

That might be 2 questions lol
I have a question
* AIS doh.
My two pennies worth is IAS. if you check https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9605671 , the whole Casp sea area it's not showing live but around it is ie: Black sea.
If you check https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:51.155/centery:43.630/zoom:15 it's using satellites
and my best guess is it's moored where it normally is , just in front.
But the good news is,,,,, Both state that CE is now moored and no longer restricted..
Yup,, Her shackles are off and she's bobbing about in her birth..
It's changed from Restricted to moored!!
Status change !!!!!
Anyone else of the 985 views noticed that that the recent kdnc video on twatter blocks and only accounts that they follow have replys or mentions .
