Anche per il Consiglio di Stato la preferenza va “all’esigenza pubblica legata alla più celere realizzazione dell’opera”. Stiamo parlando della realizzazione dell’impianto di cold ironing nel porto di Bari, oggetto di un contenzioso che aveva visto soccombere in primo grado l’Autorità di sistema portuale pugliese, innestandosi su un percorso già caratterizzato da ritardi legati a problematiche tecniche. Ma dopo la sentenza del Tar, il presidente Francesco Mastro era stato netto con SHIPPING ITALY, rivendicando subito la volontà di procedere malgrado l’annullamento dell’aggiudicazione dell’appalto da 22,9 milioni di euro al raggruppamento guidato da Consorzio Stabile Cantiere Italia e Acreide. Detto fatto, circa un mese fa Mastro, sulla base della disamina giuridica del caso e della sentenza, che non aveva espressamente annullato il contratto con l’aggiudicatario, ne aveva confermato gli effetti, “ritenendo – si legge nella relativa determina – non sussistenti e comunque recessivi rispetto alla tutela dell’interesse pubblico, sotteso al completamento dell’opera, e risultante dall’avanzato stato dei lavori, i presupposti per sospendere l’esecuzione del contratto e/o disporre nell’immediato ed in costanza del giudizio di appello, diverse determinazioni in merito agli esiti della gara”. In ballo, si leggeva fra le righe del documento, c’era il finanziamento ministeriale del Programma di Azione e Coesione complementare al Pon Infrastrutture e Reti 2014-2020, decisivo per l’appalto da concludere entro fine anno, nonché gli ‘avvertimenti’ dell’aggiudicatario, inerenti da una parte il risarcimento di quanto già speso (in particolare un ordine di carpenteria metallica da 1,7 milioni di euro) e dall’altra la tempistica stretta per l’esecuzione dei lavori per “acquisire le relative forniture in tempo utile per il completamento dei lavori, calendarizzato per il 31.12.2026”. Da cui la decisione di proseguire il contratto, anche a fronte del rischio, qualora la sentenza di primo grado fosse confermata in appello, di risarcire anche per equivalente il consorzio classificatosi secondo per l’errore commesso – secondo il Tar della Puglia – dall’Adsp in sede di fara. Una decisione ora corroborata dal Consiglio di Stato, che ha accolto l’istanza cautelare dell’Adsp sospendendo la sentenza, “tenuto pure conto della possibilità di accordare la tutela risarcitoria (anche per equivalente)” al raggruppamento piazzatosi secondo.

Norway’s state-owned energy giant Equinor has received the Norwegian authorities’ blessing for plugging and abandonment (P&A) activities in the North Sea, which will be undertaken with a semi-submersible rig owned by COSL Drilling Europe, an offshore drilling player. The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has granted Equinor consent to use the 2012-builtCOSL Promotersemi-submersible rig for permanent plugging and abandonment on theTordis field. The consent covers plugging and abandonment of 34/7-K-4 HT2, and the goal of the activity is to permanently plug the reservoir and Lista formation to improve the barrier status of the well. Located in the Tampen area in the northern part of the North Sea, between the Statfjord and Gullfaks fields, where the water depth is 150-220 meters, Tordis was discovered in 1987, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1991. The field has been developed with a central subsea manifold tied-back toGullfaks C, which also supplies water for injection. There are seven single-well satellites and two subsea templates tied back to the manifold. Tordis’ production started in 1994.

Aberdeen-headquartered Maritime Developments Limited (MDL) has assisted Italy’s engineering, drilling, and construction services giant Saipem during flex-lay preparations for activities off the coast of Guyana. MDL has supported Saipem’s preparation for flex-lay operations in Guyana with a transpooling solution in the United States. The UK player’s 2-track tensioner package was used for the relocation of an umbilical from the quayside into the under-deck carousel on theNormand Maximussubsea construction vessel. Shawn Book, VP America at MDL, emphasized:“We take immense pride in continuing our support for Saipem in the USA, building on our strong track record of successful collaborations in West Africa and the Mediterranean – all deepwater basins presenting their own unique deployment challenges that can be addressed with MDL technology. “Guyana is a key part of MDL’s Americas strategy and our high-capacity but low-footprint equipment, combined with over 25 years of global flexlay expertise, mean we are perfectly placed to enable new and expanding developments in the region with speed and confidence.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. ExxonMobil’s fifth Guyanese project closing in on first oil: FPSO pre-lay mooring done The firm explained that the product was destined for the ExxonMobil-operatedUarudeepwater development in Guyana’s Stabroek block. The package was mobilized from MDL’s U.S. equipment base in Houma, Louisiana, and came complete with a bespoke grillage to interface with the existing equipment on deck, while ensuring correct alignment of the product during handling. Kingsley Emmanuel, Uaru Installation Manager at Saipem, commented:“Saipem required a tensioner to support our vessel transpooling effort in the US during our vessel mobilization. MDL was able to provide a quick solution being in country with their equipment and provided a quality solution. The crew they provided were knowledgeable and professional.” Before deployment, a product squeeze test was completed with the tensioner at the Houma facility, with both the test and transpooling operations overseen by the firm’s field service personnel.

Oltre la metà delle navi da crociera — 166 unità, pari al 58% della flotta — è già oggi predisposta per collegarsi alla rete elettrica di terra e spegnere i motori una volta ormeggiata in banchina; entro il 2028, con 239 navi, la quota supererà il 75%. “Una trasformazione che le compagnie stanno anticipando rispetto agli obblighi normativi e a cui anche i porti si stanno progressivamente adeguando” ha spiegato una nota di Clia – Cruise Lines International Association,a valle dell’incontro dedicato allo stato di attuazione dell’elettrificazione delle banchine nei porti italiani, organizzato a Roma dall’associazione alla presenza del Direttore generale per i Porti del Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti, Donato Liguori, del Vicepresidente Port & Terminal di Costa Crociere, Roberto Ferrarini, del Senior Vice President e Responsabile della Transizione Energetica di Msc Cruises, Michele Francioni, e del Partner di McKinsey & Company e Responsabile Blue Economy per il Med Office, Filippo Gozzi. L’allaccio elettrico è già operativo in 51 scali europei per complessivi 309 MW (tra crociere e traghetti), mentre in Italia i porti, sostenuti da 800 milioni di fondi europei, dovrebbero vedere una rapida accelerazione e passare, entro fine 2027, a 52 allacci per un totale di 700 MW (sempre tra crociere e traghetti). “Per valorizzare appieno questa opportunità di decarbonizzazione, diventa fondamentale affrontare in modo coordinato alcuni nodi chiave, promuovendo una collaborazione efficace tra compagnie, autorità portuali, istituzioni, fornitori di energia e terminalisti. Accanto allo sviluppo delle infrastrutture, assume centralità una chiara definizione di ruoli e responsabilità, insieme all’individuazione dei soggetti gestori, di criteri operativi condivisi e di modelli di gara omogenei. Risulta inoltre strategico stabilire criteri di priorità nell’accesso alle connessioni, in particolare nei contesti in cui i punti di allaccio risultano inferiori rispetto al numero di navi in sosta, così come definire un quadro tariffario sostenibile e una gestione efficiente degli eventuali oneri aggiuntivi rispetto al costo dell’energia, assicurando competitività rispetto all’autoproduzione a bordo. Parallelamente, la definizione delle specifiche tecniche contribuisce a garantire efficienza, continuità e sicurezza del sistema, insieme alla piena compatibilità tra navi e infrastrutture di banchina” ha commentato Clia. Come affermato da Liguori, “l’Italia, anche grazie ai Fondi europei del Pnrr, sta anticipando la scadenza del 2030 accelerando sulla transizione energetica nei porti: oltre 800 milioni di euro tra Pnrr e Pnc per lo sviluppo del cold ironing, con 52 interventi già finanziati e oltre 740 MW di potenza installata. Sono inoltre fiero di aggiungere che accanto agli investimenti, il Mit si è fortemente impegnato da ultimo nella definizione di linee guida nazionali condivise, frutto di un lavoro sinergico con gli stakeholder del cluster marittimo e dei tavoli di consultazione già avviati. Grazie al lavoro svolto, l’Italia si prepara a compiere un salto di qualità: presto la grande maggioranza dei porti sarà in grado di collegare le navi ai propri impianti di cold ironing, con 28 impianti dedicati alle navi da crociera ed ai Supply Vessel, rendendo concreta la transizione energetica del sistema portuale, un passo decisivo verso porti più sostenibili, competitivi.” “Le compagnie da crociera sono all’avanguardia dell’innovazione e della sostenibilità nel settore marittimo, ma non possono agire da sole. Per questo siamo molto soddisfatti del lavoro svolto con il Ministero, che ha impresso una notevole accelerazione alla realizzazione degli impianti Ops che per la definizione delle dei criteri e delle regole. Ad oggi ci sono in rampa di lancio numerosi progetti che, grazie ad un lavoro di sistema tra tutti gli operatori, possono portare l’Italia a diventare tra i Paesi più virtuosi d’Europa” ha aggiunto Francesco Galietti, Direttore di Clia Italia.

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XING Mobility, the Taiwanese pioneer in immersion cooling battery technologies, today announced the global launch of IMMERSIO™ Matrix, a purpose-built marine battery system engineered to directly enable vessel electrification. The system will make its official debut at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam this June, offering European shipowners a certified, drop-in battery system solution to accelerate their zero-emission transition. In partnership with Nordic Booster AS, its long-standing Scandinavian distribution partner, XING is bringing to market a marine battery system that leads on the three measures that matter most to shipowners: continuous power, energy density, and fire safety. The IMMERSIO™ CTP battery system: built for marine electrification with twice the energy density, continuous 3C discharge, and active fire safety. Power, Space and Safety: XING’s Answer to the Three Constraints of Marine Electrification European shipowners are under mounting pressure from the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and FuelEU Maritime regulations. Battery-electric propulsion is the clearest path forward, but only if the battery system can handle the duty cycles of real marine operation, fit the tight spaces aboard a vessel, and meet the highest safety expectations at sea. IMMERSIO™ Matrix delivers on all three. 1. Continuous 3C power: outperforming mainstream marine batteries XING’s solution delivers 3C of continuous power. Surpass mainstream marine-certified battery system on the market today. For fast ferries, port service vessels and any duty cycle built around hard acceleration and rapid charging between trips, this is the performance level that finally makes battery-electric propulsion a true replacement for diesel. 2. Twice the energy density: for vessels where every cubic meter counts Space and weight are the constant constraints of vessel design. XING delivers twice the energy density of conventional marine batteries, offering more usable energy per kilogram and significantly more per cubic meter. For shipowners, this translates directly into more range and more power within the same engine-room footprint, or the same energy in a dramatically smaller package, freeing valuable space for cargo, passengers and auxiliary systems. For repowering projects in particular, where the existing hull defines what is possible, this advantage is decisive. 3. Immersion cooling: a step change in fire safety, unmatched by any other lithium battery system Fire safety is the single biggest concern when bringing lithium batteries on board a vessel. XING solves this at the architecture level: every cell is fully submerged in a dielectric coolant that absorbs heat directly at the source. The coolant inherently suppresses thermal runaway, eliminates cell-to-cell propagation, and removes the ignition pathways that exist in air-cooled and cold-plate-cooled designs. IMMERSIO™ Matrix sets a new benchmark for fire safety in the marine market, and immersion cooling is poised to become the new standard at sea. Partnership with Nordic Booster To bring this technology to European shipowners with the local engineering and service support they need, XING Mobility is deepening its strategic partnership with Nordic Booster AS, its exclusive Scandinavian distributor. With more than two decades of engineering leadership in the Norwegian maritime industry, Nordic Booster ensures that every XING battery installation across Europe is backed by hands-on expertise and rapid-response service. Trond Skaufel, CEO of Nordic Booster: “We chose XING because their immersion-cooled architecture is, simply put, the safest and most power-dense battery system available for marine use today. That is exactly what European shipowners have been waiting for.” Jannik Stanger, CTO of Nordic Booster: “On continuous power, on energy density, on fire safety — XING immersion cooled batteries sets a new standard. There is no other lithium battery system on the market that combines all three at this level. Still at a low price and high quality. We have used XING batteries in our products for 5 years and are impressed about the performance and thermal stability “ Royce Hong, Founder and CEO of XING Mobility: " Our mission has always been to bring disruptive battery solutions to the most extreme environments. Maritime electrification faces dual challenges in safety and space; our battery architecture ensures shipowners never have to compromise performance for safety. Together with Nordic Booster, we are proud to set a new technological benchmark for the European market." Proven in real-world vessels Xing IMMERSIO™ battery systems are already powering vessels on the water. The zero-emission Porrima P111 was launched in Taiwan equipped with XING’s battery system and has demonstrated reliable performance in open-ocean conditions. The IMMERSIO™ system has also been integrated into the latest vessel from Austrian electric-boating innovator Smart IQ, with successful launch and system-integration testing completed in late April 2026. XING batteries is offered in scalable configurations from 60 kWh to 400 kWh and is currently undergoing DNV certification. The system makes its official European debut at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam this June.

Archives Emergence of Uncompensable Heat Stress During Monsoon Season in India, Chuphal et al.,AGU Advances Uncompensable heat stress (UHS), characterized by the loss of homeostasis due to excessive environmental thermal loading, causes substantial heat-related health risks in India. However, the spatial and seasonal heterogeneity, as well as temporal changes of UHS in India remain poorly understood. Using observations, reanalysis data, and climate model projections, we highlight the surge of UHS during the monsoon season (July–October) as the climate warms. In the observed period (1979–2021), the frequency and area affected by UHS have increased significantly across India. The observed UHS is more prevalent in summer (March–June) and affects 8% of India, whereas only 1% of the country is affected in the monsoon season. The summer UHS is also more strongly associated with annual heat-related mortality (R2 = 0.38). However, the monsoon season (July-October) UHS, predominantly characterized by hot-humid conditions, is projected to increase rapidly with climate warming and affect nearly equivalent areas of the country as the summer season (60% in summer and 53% in the monsoon season) under 2°C warming relative to the preindustrial period. This will create long-lasting UHS across both seasons, posing critical challenges to public health, labor productivity, and climate resilience in densely populated and vulnerable regions. Brief communication: Sea-level projections, adaptation planning, and actionable science, Lipscomb et al.,cryosphere As climate scientists seek to deliver actionable science for adaptation planning, there are risks in using novel results to inform decision-making. Premature acceptance may lead to maladaptation, practitioner confusion, and “whiplash”. We propose that scientific claims should be considered actionable (i.e., sufficiently accepted to support near-term adaptation action) only after meeting a confidence threshold based on the strength of evidence as evaluated by a diverse group of scientific experts. We discuss an influential study that projected rapid sea-level rise from Antarctic ice-sheet retreat but in our view was not actionable. We recommend regular, transparent communications between scientists and practitioners to support the use of actionable science. Hello world! An interdisciplinary climate modelling course, Proske & Staab,Geoscience Communication Climate models are not just physics translated into computer code. They are powerful actors influencing and influenced by humans. Thus modelers need to learn and modelling courses need to teach not only the techniques of numerical discretisation and the physical understanding of the climate system, but also the underlying motivations, the uncertainties and the societal embededness of the modelling approach. Following a design-based research approach, this study develops a 50hlong course at Bachelor level that aims to teach students such interdisciplinary perspectives. With a reflective open-ended exercise, we elicit students' learning process through challenging climate modelling topics. We find that the students learn to appreciate the complexity of climate models and the intricacies of scientific practice itself, highlighting for example the role of values in science. The exercise reveals few misconceptions and no major hurdles in the students' learning that may have been expected from the interdisciplinary nature of the material. We thus conclude that the course is a practice-proven approach to teaching the physical basis of climate modelling as well as its critical reflection. Rapid artificial intelligence deployment increases near-term pressure on global carbon budgets, Charabi,Communications Earth & Environment Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius depends on cumulative carbon dioxide emissions, not only on whether annual emissions eventually balance. Artificial intelligence is increasingly promoted as a tool for reducing emissions, but its supporting digital infrastructure produces emissions before many system-level benefits are realized. Here, we evaluate this timing mismatch using a probabilistic numerical cumulative carbon accounting model calibrated to International Energy Agency artificial-intelligence and energy scenarios through 2035. The model combines operational emissions, embodied emissions, and delayed system-level savings. Across 10,000 Monte Carlo realizations, the accelerated Lift-Off pathway yields a median cumulative carbon debt of 2.85 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide before annual savings exceed annual infrastructure-related emissions in late 2031. Across scenarios, the carbon imbalance varies with deployment speed, grid decarbonization, and the coupling between infrastructure growth and mitigation-relevant applications. These results indicate that rapid artificial-intelligence deployment can increase near-term pressure on the remaining 1.5 degrees Celsius carbon budget.

Livorno – Saga Welco cambia assetto e diventa interamente giapponese. Entro i primi giorni di luglio diventerà ufficiale l’acquisizione del 100% delle quote da parte del colosso nipponico Nyk. L’operazione mette fine alla precedente joint venture paritetica: la società, prima controllata al 50% dai norvegesi di Westfall Larsen e al 50% da Saga Ship Holding (realtà quest’ultima già in mano a Nyk), passa così sotto l’unico controllo del gruppo di Tokyo. SHIPPING ITALY ne ha parlato con il general manager Mauro Tosi degli sviluppi che questa decisione porterà alla compagnia a livello nazionale e globale. Mauro Tosi, quali valutazioni di strategia e di governance hanno portato al superamento della formula societaria paritetica al 50% con Westfall Larsen? “Gestire una società divisa equamente al 50% comporta una complessità notevole, soprattutto quando si tratta di trovare un accordo sulle strategie di lungo termine. Nell’ultimo periodo sono emerse priorità differenti tra i due soci: da un lato la parte norvegese di Westfall Larsen, concentrata su un importante ricambio generazionale tipico delle storiche aziende familiari, e dall’altro il gruppo giapponese Nyk, intenzionato a spingere su una decisa politica di investimenti e sviluppo globale. Per garantire una linea strategica univoca e immediata, Nyk ha scelto di rilevare interamente la quota dei partner, comprese le loro 16 navi di proprietà, così da poter guidare i futuri investimenti in totale autonomia. L’operazione è nota da marzo ma l’ufficialità, legata alle autorizzazioni antitrust in cinque continenti, è attesa tra la fine di giugno e i primi giorni di luglio, con il pagamento della prima tranche per il riscatto delle unità.” Questo passaggio sotto il controllo esclusivo di un grande gruppo globale quali cambiamenti determinerà a livello operativo e di brand? “Finora abbiamo gestito una flotta specializzata di 48 navi con 120 dipendenti. Entrando pienamente nel network di Nyk passiamo a un gruppo che controlla complessivamente 883 navi – tra portacontainer, navi da crociera, navi cisterna e unità breakbulk – e conta oltre 35.000 dipendenti. Per noi significa poter contare su spalle molto più larghe e su una flessibilità operativa inedita: le navi breakbulk di Nyk potranno supportare i nostri traffici e viceversa, creando sinergie importanti. Al momento l’assetto futuro del brand è oggetto di attente valutazioni interne a Tokyo e vige riservatezza. Entrando pienamente nel network di un colosso globale, è comunque naturale attendersi una progressiva integrazione della flotta sotto le insegne della capogruppo. Nelle prossime settimane capiremo se e come i marchi verranno declinati all’interno della nuova livrea, o se la flotta assumerà direttamente l’identità visiva globale di Nyk.” Quali fattori macroeconomici stanno sostenendo il mercato della cellulosa e come si stanno ridisegnando le vostre rotte commerciali? “La spinta principale è arrivata nel post-Covid, con un incremento strutturale nei consumi globali di prodotti tissue e carte monouso. Questo ha spinto i grandi produttori sudamericani, in particolare in Brasile e Uruguay, ad aumentare la capacità produttiva con nuovi impianti industriali. Dal punto di vista geografico, oltre ai mercati storici del Mediterraneo come Spagna, Francia e Italia, assistiamo a un’espansione importante verso la Turchia – dove oggi tocchiamo tre porti grazie al contratto logistico siglato con il produttore Upm in Uruguay – e verso l’India, con navi dirette a Mumbai, Kandla e Haldia. Anche l’area del Golfo Arabico esprime una domanda alta, sebbene l’attuale chiusura dello stretto di Hormuz per via delle tensioni geopolitiche ci costringa a sbarcare le merci ad Aqaba o Jeddah, per poi farle proseguire via terra verso Dubai e Abu Dhabi.” Le tensioni internazionali influenzano direttamente anche le scelte sui cantieri per il rinnovo della flotta. Come vi state orientando? “La nostra flotta attuale ha diverse unità che sfiorano i 30 anni, che è il limite massimo di operatività per questo tipo di navigazione, e Nyk ha intenzione di procedere con nuove costruzioni. Storicamente le nostre navi sono sempre state costruite nei cantieri giapponesi e questa impostazione viene mantenuta. Guardare ad altri mercati, come la Cina, oggi comporta inoltre rischi commerciali: i dazi statunitensi impongono a qualunque nave costruita in un cantiere cinese il pagamento di una tassa di un milione di dollari ogni singola volta che effettua un accosto in un porto degli Stati Uniti. Per una compagnia che opera su scala globale toccando tutti i continenti, l’opzione cinese diventa strutturalmente antieconomica.” Le vostre navi impiegano sistemi di caricamento molto distanti da quelli delle rinfusiere convenzionali. Quali vantaggi operativi derivano da questa specializzazione? “La specificità della flotta è il nostro marchio di fabbrica: siamo l’unica compagnia al mondo a operare interamente con navi dotate di cariponte anziché di gru convenzionali a braccio. Si tratta di un investimento finanziario radicalmente diverso: installare quattro gru convenzionali costa circa 2 milioni di dollari l’una, per un totale di 8 milioni, contro i 20 milioni richiesti per l’allestimento con i nostri cariponte. Il ritorno in termini di qualità del servizio è però evidente: la cellulosa viaggia in balle unitizzate; i cariponte sono strutture squadrate dotate di un tetto retrattile incorporato: quando aprono i bracci per sbarcare la merce direttamente sul mezzo sottobordo, l’intero raggio d’azione rimane coperto. Questo ci permette di continuare a lavorare a pieno ritmo anche sotto la pioggia battente, proteggendo la merce dall’umidità e velocizzando i tempi di sosta della nave.” Sul fronte della sostenibilità ambientale e della riduzione delle emissioni, quali sono i piani del gruppo? “La nostra capogruppo Nyk è stata un pioniere, avendo già convertito gran parte della propria flotta per l’utilizzo del Gnl. Sul mercato si stanno affacciando soluzioni alternative, come i motori ad ammoniaca scelti da alcuni concorrenti, anche se questa tecnologia desta ancora qualche riserva legata alla sicurezza intrinseca del combustibile. Nello stesso tempo, guardiamo con interesse ai progetti di cold ironing promossi dai porti. Quando le navi sono ormeggiate hanno la necessità di tenere i generatori di bordo accesi per garantire l’energia elettrica necessaria ai servizi e ai cariponte e poter collegare la nave direttamente alla rete di terra permetterà in futuro di spegnere i motori termici durante le operazioni commerciali, azzerando l’impatto acustico e atmosferico a ridosso delle aree urbane.” Come si articola la presenza di Saga Welco sul mercato italiano e quali sono i punti di forza e le criticità dello scalo di Livorno? “In Italia il nostro network tocca regolarmente i porti di Napoli, Monfalcone e, saltuariamente, Savona, ma Livorno rimane l’hub di riferimento per i prodotti forestali: lo scalo movimenta circa 700.000 tonnellate di cellulosa all’anno e noi ne gestiamo circa 500.000, lavorando in piena sinergia sulle banchine dell’Alto Fondale con la Cilp, del Molo Italia Sud con il terminalista MarterNeri e, quando disponibili, del Molo Italia Nord. Comunque, le criticità infrastrutturali non mancano, a partire dai pescaggi. I nuovi standard del gigantismo navale vedono l’introduzione di navi da 80.000 tonnellate di portata, ma Livorno offre attualmente un pescaggio massimo di 12 metri. Questo spesso ci costringe a effettuare scali di alleggerimento a Tarragona, in Spagna, che dispone di 15 metri di fondale, per sbarcare parte del carico prima di poter entrare nello scalo toscano. Un altro problema è di natura logistica e si lega ai modelli di approvvigionamento ‘just-in-time’ adottati da molti ricevitori della merce, in particolare nel distretto cartario della Lucchesia. La tendenza strutturale a ridurre al minimo gli stock all’interno degli stabilimenti finisce per scaricare la pressione sui magazzini di temporanea custodia del porto, che si trovano a fare da polmone di stoccaggio per le materie prime in attesa del consumo. Questo inevitabilmente condiziona il ritmo di rotazione delle merci in banchina e richiede uno sforzo di coordinamento straordinario tra terminalisti e autotrasporto.” In merito ai progetti infrastrutturali in discussione a Livorno, dal potenziamento ferroviario alla Darsena Europa, qual è la sua valutazione? “Il fattore ferroviario è vitale: con l’aumento dei costi dei carburanti, il trasporto esclusivo su gomma è diventato economicamente pesante per le aziende. Un collegamento ferroviario efficiente fluidificherebbe l’intero sistema. Guardiamo con interesse anche al progetto della Darsena Europa: se il traffico dei container si sposterà nella nuova infrastruttura a mare, la Darsena Toscana si libererà e potrà essere interamente ridestinata alle merci varie e ai prodotti breakbulk, dando allo scalo un polmone di spazi eccezionale. Tuttavia, sento parlare di questa opera da così tanto tempo che ormai mi vedo più vicino alla pensione che a vederla completata. L’auspicio è che l’intero iter proceda finalmente spedito verso decisioni concrete, anche perché lo scenario italiano si sta muovendo velocemente: basti guardare a come il fondo Fhp (F2i Holding Portuale) stia concentrando asset e terminal a Monfalcone, Porto Marghera, Marina di Carrara e nello stesso scalo di Livorno.” Per concludere, il mercato della cellulosa vede una forte spinta da parte di competitor asiatici e scandinavi. Qual è la strategia commerciale per difendere il vostro posizionamento? “La concorrenza muove investimenti importanti: il nostro principale competitor globale, la cinese Cosco Shipping, ha ordinato 76 nuove navi per questo segmento, mentre l’altro grande player, G2 Ocean (controllata per l’80% da Mitsui attraverso la divisione Gear Bulk), ha già ampliato la flotta e ordinato altre sei unità. Poiché i grandi produttori mondiali di cellulosa sono un gruppo ristretto e consolidato – parliamo di player come Eldorado, Cenibra, Upm, Stora Enso, Arauco e Cmpc – i contratti di trasporto vengono periodicamente rinegoziati. L’unico modo per difendere i volumi è garantire navi moderne, massima affidabilità del servizio e tariffe competitive. Certamente un colosso come Cosco gioca un’altra partita: ha alle spalle lo Stato cinese, e questo gli garantisce una forza finanziaria e una resistenza ai rischi che un operatore privato semplicemente non ha. Con il supporto strategico e i numeri della flotta del gruppo Nyk, l’obiettivo è proprio quello di incrementare la nostra capacità di competere sul mercato globale.” ISCRIVITI ALLA NEWSLETTER QUOTIDIANA GRATUITA DI SHIPPING ITALY SHIPPING ITALY E’ ANCHE SU WHATSAPP: BASTA CLICCARE QUI PER ISCRIVERSI AL CANALE ED ESSERE SEMPRE AGGIORNATI

The European Commission's draft revision of the Emissions Trading System would keep free allowances flowing to industries that invest locally, backed by a €30 billion booster fund. Share The European Commission is dangling a carrot in front of its most carbon-intensive industries: keep your factories in Europe, invest in cleaning them up, and we’ll keep handing you free emissions permits. That’s the core trade-off in a draft revision of the EU Emissions Trading System that surfaced in an internal document on June 10. The formal proposal is expected on July 15, and it signals a notable shift in how Brussels balances climate ambition with industrial competitiveness. The EU ETS is essentially a cap-and-trade system. Companies get a fixed number of permits to emit carbon dioxide. If they emit less, they can sell the extras. If they emit more, they have to buy permits on the market. Over time, the total cap shrinks, making pollution progressively more expensive. Free allowances have always been the system’s pressure-release valve. Energy-intensive industries, think steelmakers, cement producers, and chemical plants, receive a portion of their permits for free to prevent them from simply packing up and moving to countries where carbon costs nothing. This phenomenon is known as “carbon leakage,” and it’s been the bogeyman of European climate policy for over a decade. The draft revision would extend and restructure these free allocations, but with a new condition: they’d be tied to local investment commitments. Companies that channel capital into decarbonization projects within the EU would maintain access to free permits. Those that don’t would presumably face the full cost of their emissions on the open market. The proposal also includes updated benchmarks for free allocations covering the 2026-2030 period, ensuring the system reflects current best practices in emissions reduction rather than outdated industrial standards. National governments would face new obligations too. Under the revised framework, member states would need to direct a larger share of their ETS auction revenues toward decarbonizing their domestic industries. Perhaps the most eye-catching element of the draft is the ETS Investment Booster fund, a €30 billion war chest financed through the sale of 400 million emissions allowances. The fund is designed to channel capital into clean technology investments across the bloc. The fund sits alongside the EU’s existing Innovation Fund and Modernisation Fund, both of which are financed by ETS revenues. The proposal also targets price volatility in the carbon market itself. A redesign of the Market Stability Reserve, the mechanism that adjusts the supply of allowances to stabilize prices, is part of the package. Beyond the investment incentives, the revision would broaden the ETS’s coverage. Emissions from international flights would be brought under the system’s umbrella. The ETS started in 2005 covering power plants and heavy industry. It now touches shipping, buildings, and road transport. The investment implications cut across several sectors. Companies in renewable energy, green hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial electrification stand to benefit from the €30 billion booster fund and the broader incentive structure. For carbon market participants specifically, the Market Stability Reserve redesign is the variable to watch. A more stable carbon price could compress the volatility premium that traders currently extract from the market, but it would also make long-dated carbon futures a more predictable asset class. The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which imposes carbon costs on imports, is already being phased in. Combined with extended free allowances for domestic producers who invest locally, the effect is a one-two punch: imports get more expensive while domestic production gets subsidized. The risk, as always, is execution. Tying free allowances to investment commitments creates a compliance and monitoring burden that the Commission has struggled with in past iterations of the ETS. The July 15 formal proposal will reveal which direction Brussels leans, and the details will matter far more than the headline numbers.

Issued on behalf of Greenland Mines Ltd. As the West scrambles for palladium, gold, and rare earths free of Russian and Chinese control, one developer is assembling something rare: a mine, a corridor, and a processing hub — all in friendly territory. CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --World Street IntelligenceNews Commentary — The hardest problem in critical minerals is rarely finding the metal. It is everything that happens after: where to process it, how to move it, and whether any of that can be done without depending on the very countries the West is trying to reduce its reliance upon. A world-class deposit stuck without power, ports, or processing is a museum piece, not a supply chain. That is the lens through which to read the latest move from Greenland Mines Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRML), which has just strengthened its hold on a key piece of industrial infrastructure half an ocean away from its flagship Greenland deposit. The company announced it has signed a First Right of Refusal over the roughly 60,000-square-metre Helguvík brownfield industrial site on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula — a former silicon-metal plant that comes with about 10,000 square metres of existing industrial buildings, deep-water port access, and up to 40 megawatts of power. Under an updated letter of intent with site owner Reykjanes Investment, if a third party makes a bona fide offer for the site, Greenland Mines must be given the chance to acquire it first on equivalent terms. It is a quiet, optionality-securing move — and a revealing one, because it shows a junior developer thinking several moves ahead about the part of the business that usually trips companies up. Key Takeaways The Real Innovation Isn't the Mine — It's the Corridor Greenland Mines' flagship is the Skaergaard Project on Greenland's east coast, a deposit with an almost legendary status in geological circles. It hosts a mineral resource, estimated in 2022 under NI 43-101 by SLR Consulting, of 25.4 million ounces of palladium-equivalent and 23.5 million ounces of gold-equivalent in the indicated and inferred categories — figures that place it among the largest undeveloped palladium-gold deposits anywhere in the world. The deposit is the kind of asset that, in a friendly jurisdiction, is exactly what Western governments say they want as they confront their dependence on Russia and South Africa for platinum-group metals. But a deposit in remote East Greenland raises an obvious question: then what? Mining the ore is only the first step; turning it into saleable product requires power, processing, and logistics on a scale that Arctic Greenland cannot easily provide year-round. This is where the Helguvík move becomes interesting. Greenland Mines is sketching what it calls a “North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor” — pairing upstream mine production in Greenland with mid-stream processing and shipping infrastructure in Iceland. Preliminary logistics work cited by the company indicates that bulk carriers could cover the roughly 400-kilometre sea distance between Skaergaard and Helguvík in about 30 hours, making it plausible to move concentrates or intermediate products efficiently between mine and hub. The appeal of Iceland specifically comes down to two things the modern critical-metals economy prizes: cheap, clean power and deep-water access. Iceland's electricity grid is supplied almost entirely by renewable hydro and geothermal generation, at industrial tariffs the company describes as significantly below average prices in Europe and North America. For an energy-hungry processing facility, stable low-carbon power at a competitive price is not a footnote — it is a core economic driver. Add a deep-water port that NATO and Icelandic authorities are already upgrading, proximity to Keflavík International Airport, and a regional skilled workforce, and the logic of the location starts to come into focus. Why a Brownfield Site Beats a Blank Slate There is a deeper strategic point in choosing Helguvík. The site is not raw land; it is a brownfield complex that already hosts substantial industrial infrastructure left from the former United Silicon smelter, which began production around 2016–2017 before ceasing operations amid environmental and operational problems. For a developer, inheriting existing buildings, grid connections, and port infrastructure can dramatically compress the time and capital required to stand up a processing operation compared with building from scratch. Greenland Mines has been careful — publicly and pointedly — to distance itself from the previous operation's troubles. The company states it has no intention of reviving silicon-metal smelting and that any future activity at Helguvík would be designed from the outset to meet high environmental standards, use modern technology and emissions controls, and maintain an open relationship with local stakeholders. President Bo Møller Stensgaard framed the agreement as the product of a constructive collaboration: he described a shared ambition with Reykjanes Investment to see the site “redeveloped into a modern, transparent and low-impact industrial hub that respects local communities and Iceland's ambitious environmental objectives.” That positioning matters beyond public relations. Social licence — the acceptance of local communities and authorities — has become one of the decisive variables in whether critical-minerals projects get built in Western jurisdictions. By securing an option rather than rushing an acquisition, and by foregrounding environmental performance, Greenland Mines is trying to keep both its financial flexibility and its community standing intact while it completes the technical and economic studies that will determine whether a Helguvík facility makes sense at all. A Two-Asset Platform Aimed at the West's Weak Spots The Helguvík option does not stand alone; it plugs into a broader strategy built on two Greenland assets. Alongside Skaergaard's palladium-gold-platinum endowment, Greenland Mines has entered a definitive agreement to acquire the Sarfartoq project in southwest Greenland — a neodymium-praseodymium magnet rare-earth project, with a strategic offtake partnership attached. Those two elements target precisely the materials the West has flagged as most exposed: PGMs concentrated in Russia and South Africa, and rare-earth magnets dominated by China across mining and especially refining. Taken together, the company is attempting to build a vertically integrated, Atlantic-focused critical-metals platform: high-quality upstream resources in Greenland, potential mid-stream processing and logistics in Iceland, and end-markets in a Europe and North America increasingly determined to source outside Chinese and Russian supply chains. It is an ambitious vision for a company of GRML's size, and it remains a vision — dependent on studies, permits, financing, and execution still to come. But the strategic coherence is clear, and the Helguvík move is a concrete step toward making the corridor more than a slide in a presentation. How Greenland Mines Stacks Up Against the Field Greenland Mines is one of a growing cohort of developers racing to build Western-aligned supply for the metals that electrification, defense, and clean energy depend on. Looking at how a few peers are positioned helps frame both the opportunity and the scale of the challenge. Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML)is the most direct geographic comparison, advancing the Tanbreez rare-earth project in southern Greenland and recently executing a 15-year binding offtake agreement for rare-earth concentrate. With a market capitalization in the billion-dollar range, Critical Metals shows how strongly the market has rewarded Greenland-based critical-minerals stories with credible offtake — a useful benchmark for what GRML is building on the same island, and a reminder that Greenland has become a focal point of the Western supply-chain push. MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP)is the bellwether for the Western rare-earth and magnet thesis that GRML's Sarfartoq project speaks to. As the operator of the Mountain Pass mine in California and a recipient of high-profile U.S. government backing, MP has become the template for how a domestic critical-minerals producer can be re-rated when it pairs a scarce asset with strategic support. It illustrates the destination GRML's rare-earth ambitions point toward, at a far larger and more advanced scale. NioCorp Developments Ltd. (NASDAQ: NB)offers a parallel in the development-stage, multi-critical-mineral category, advancing a U.S. project aimed at rare earths and other strategic elements as part of the same reshoring wave. As a company working to convert a large resource into a financed, built operation, NioCorp mirrors the execution path — studies, permitting, and capital — that GRML must travel, and underscores how much sits between a strong resource and a producing mine. Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PGE) (OTCQB: PGEZF)rounds out the group as the cleanest platinum-group-metals analogue, advancing its Stillwater West palladium-platinum-rhodium project in Montana and reporting continued resource-expansion drilling. As one of the few Western-jurisdiction PGM developers, Stillwater speaks directly to the same Russia-and-South-Africa-dependence problem that Skaergaard's palladium and platinum endowment is positioned to address. These companies are referenced to illustrate the sector and do not imply any partnership, endorsement, affiliation, or comparable financial performance; they span different metals, jurisdictions, sizes, and stages, and Greenland Mines sits among the earlier-stage names. What to Watch From Here The Helguvík agreement is, by its own terms, a non-binding letter of intent with a first right of refusal — an option, not a commitment. The markers worth tracking are whether that option matures toward a binding agreement; the results of the technical, metallurgical, and environmental studies that will determine if a processing facility at Helguvík is viable; progress on the Skaergaard field campaign and metallurgical work; and the closing and integration of the Sarfartoq rare-earth acquisition. Each is a step in converting a compelling map into an actual supply chain. Investors should keep the company's stage firmly in mind. Greenland Mines is a development-stage company; its resources are not reserves, no economic feasibility study has been completed on Skaergaard, and there is no certainty that the resources will be converted to reserves or that an economically viable operation can be established. The corridor strategy, for all its logic, depends on a long sequence of studies, permits, partnerships, and financing still ahead. But in a market hungry for Western-aligned critical-metals supply, a company assembling a mine, a corridor, and a processing option in friendly jurisdictions has put together a genuinely differentiated story — and the Helguvík move shows it is thinking about the whole chain, not just the rock.

The Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminalisa state-of-the-art facility that provides a seamless gateway to Alaska for guests around the world SEWARD, Alaska,June 10, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:RCL), a global vacation leader, recently commemorated the opening of the Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal with partners Alaska Railroad, The Seward Company, Turnagain Marine Construction at an official ribbon cutting ceremony including Alaska dignitaries Representative Louise Stutes of Kodiak and Seward, 5th District; Representative Alyse Galvin of Anchorage, 14th District; Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development Commissioner Julie Sande; and Seward Mayor Sue McClure. "We're thrilled to celebrate the culmination of nearly a decade of efforts to unlock this world-class travel destination, bringing long-term economic opportunities to Seward and beyond," said Josh Carroll, senior vice president, Deployment, Destination Development and Port Operations. "The journey to open the Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal as a portal to premier travel destinations would not have been possible without our supporting partners, government official stakeholders, and the local community." "We're thrilled to celebrate the culmination of nearly a decade of efforts to unlock this world-class travel destination, bringing long-term economic opportunities to Seward and beyond," said Josh Carroll, senior vice president, Deployment, Destination Development and Port Operations. "The journey to open the Dale R. and Carol Ann Lindsey Alaska Railroad Terminal as a portal to premier travel destinations would not have been possible without our supporting partners, government official stakeholders, and the local community." The new terminal replaces aging dock facilities that date to the mid-1960s, positioning Seward as a premier cruise turn port. "We know how important the terminal is not just to Seward, but to communities across Southcentral and Interior Alaska as these cross-gulf cruise guests take the opportunity to explore Alaska by land as well," said Bill O'Leary, President and CEO of the Alaska Railroad, the longtime owner and operator of the Seward passenger dock and terminal. "We were delighted to have the Lindsey family join us for the ribbon cutting to honor Dale and Carol Ann's many contributions to Seward and our state, and to celebrate an important milestone for this project." As the largest cruise terminal in Alaska, this state‑of‑the‑art facility is designed to elevate guest experiences by prioritizing optimized passenger flows, sheltered queuing, and efficient passenger processing. The facility's direct adjacency to the Alaska Railroad station opens convenient onward travel to Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the broader communities of Alaska. The terminal is divided into 41,500 square feet of enclosed space and 27,000 square feet of open, pass-through luggage transfer layout. The modernization of the pier includes a shore power system, developed through the US Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Ports Grant, resulting in cleaner air and reduced noise. With this alternative energy capability, any excess power generated during winter months will be stored in battery systems, serving as a backup power grid for Seward during unpredictable winter weather. Built for year-round operations, the terminal serves as the community's largest indoor space, enabling ongoing recreational sports, concerts, festivals, and community gatherings, amidst winter weather conditions in the cruise off-season. The space was inaugurated for that exact purpose when Royal Caribbean Group invited the entire Seward community to help celebrate the culmination of theirPort Partnerssmall business accelerator program where standout business Exit Glacier Greenhouses received a $20,000 grant to help scale operations, representing the company's longstanding commitment to economic development in coastal communities.

The leading deep cycle LiFePO4 battery brand, Humsienk, opens 19 days of record-low pricing up to 60% off on June 12 to June 30, featuring double loyalty rewards on every qualifying order, giveaway battery events, and a 30-day price protection guarantee. Additionally, the Humsienk 12V 150Ah Group 31 Battery will be permanently discontinued when the final batch sells out – don’t miss your last chance. AUSTIN, Texas, June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Humsienk, a vertically integrated brand combining R&D, manufacturing, and sales of deep cycle LiFePO4 battery, today announced the launch of Prime Day 2026, the largest and most consequential sale event in the brand's history. The 19-day event opens on June 12 and runs through June 30, 2026, delivering up to 60% off across Humsienk's complete LiFePO4 lineup covering fishing, RV, golf cart, home storage, and off-grid applications. In the same window, Humsienk confirms the permanent retirement of the 12V 150Ah BT Group 31, one of its most celebrated fishing batteries, with current inventory representing the final units the brand will ever produce or sell on any channel. Pre-orders for Humsienk's first-ever inverter series, scheduled to launch in July 2026, open exclusively during the Prime Day window, marking the brand's first step beyond battery storage and into full power system territory. Every order placed during the event earns double loyalty points, includes a Lucky Spin Wheel entry, and qualifies for an exclusive 7% press discount via codePrimeDay7%, stacked on top of all sale pricing already in effect. Each purchase is backed by a 5-year warranty, a 30-day price protection policy, and an all-platform price match guarantee. Double the Rewards on Every Order: Points, Prizes, and a Spin Wheel Waiting for You Double Member Points: 1 USD = 2X PointsPrime Day 2026 is not a single-transaction event. Every dollar spent during the June 12 to 30 window earns twice the standard Humsienk loyalty points, meaning every qualifying order delivers two separate forms of value at once: the discounted product at checkout and the reward accumulating toward a future one.Points earned during Prime Day can be redeemed for discount codes, vouchers, chargers, accessories, free batteries, and branded gifts. The calculation is simple: the more you spend during Prime Day at double-point rates, the closer your next Humsienk product comes to costing you nothing. For members with existing point balances, the Prime Day window is the fastest path to free product redemption the program has ever offered. Spending now is not just buying a battery at the lowest price of the year. It is investing in the next one. Lucky Spin Wheel: Subscribe and SpinA newsletter subscription unlocks one Lucky Spin Wheel entry per customer, and no purchase is required to participate. The prize pool is real: discount codes, vouchers, accessories, chargers, and full physical batteries at the top end. The spin result operates independently of any sale discount already applied to an order, meaning a Prime Day buyer who has also subscribed collects three separate layers of value from a single purchase: the sale price, the double loyalty points earned, and whatever the spin delivers. Exclusive for Readers’s Coupon Code: PrimeDay7%Readers of this article have access to a discount not available through any other channel during the event window.Enter codePrimeDay7%at checkout onHumsienk Shopfor an additional 7% off your entire order, applied on top of all Prime Day sale pricing already in effect. The code is valid storewide from June 12 through June 30, 2026, with no usage cap and no product exclusions. The Final Farewell: Humsienk 12V 150Ah BT Group 31 — Last Chance, No Exceptions Some products earn a reputation that outlasts their production run. TheHumsienk 12V 150Ah BT Group 31is one of them, and Prime Day 2026 is its last commercial appearance. Humsienk confirms that the current Prime Day inventory is the final production run for this battery. Once this stock sells through, the product is permanently discontinued and will not return to any Humsienk sales channel at any price. There is no restocking date, no future event to revisit, and no alternative path to ownership after this inventory is exhausted. Prime Day 2026 is the only remaining commercial window in which this battery can be purchased. For the serious freshwater and saltwater angler, the relevance of that fact is immediate. Trolling motors, fish finders, live wells, sonar units, and onboard electronics all demand a battery that holds its capacity across a full day on the water without flinching on voltage delivery as the charge depletes. The 12V 150Ah BT Group 31 was built for that environment. Its Group 31 form factor is a direct physical replacement for the lead-acid Group 31 batteries that a large share of the fishing market still runs today, meaning the upgrade path requires no installation modifications, no bracket fabrication, and no rewiring for the majority of buyers. The Prime Day price is the lowest this battery has ever carried. It is also the last price it will ever carry. Both of those facts are permanent. Built RV for the Long Haul: Humsienk 12V 314Ah LiFePO4 Battery, Standard and Bluetooth The most common failure point in the RV and vanlife experience is not a mechanical breakdown. It is a battery system that cannot sustain how the owner actually travels. Most RV users who have spent time managing appliance loads, staying tethered to hookup sites, or cutting trips short because their power ran out before they were ready to leave are not running the wrong vehicle. They are running the wrong battery. TheHumsienk 12V 314Ah LiFePO4 Batteryaddresses that problem at the source. Built around Grade A LiFePO4 cells with 4,019Wh of usable capacity and a 200A BMS, this battery was designed for users who measure their trips in weeks and expect their power system to keep pace. 15,000 cycles at 60% DODis the specification that separates this battery from every conventional deep cycle alternative on the market. At one full charge cycle per day, 15,000 cycles represents over 41 years of daily service. Against a conventional lead-acid deep-cycle battery with a typical service life of two to three seasons under the same usage pattern, this is not an incremental improvement. It is a fundamentally different investment horizon. A buyer who installs a 314Ah in their RV this June may never need to replace it. The 200A BMShandles the sustained high-draw loads that RV living actually produces: refrigeration running overnight, an inverter powering appliances in the morning, a water pump cycling through the day, and device charging running continuously. The BMS manages all of it without thermal stress, voltage sag, or protective shutdowns under normal operating conditions. In real operating terms, 4,019Wh sustains a full-size RV refrigerator for over 24 hours, powers LED lighting systems across multiple nights, keeps water pumps and device charging running throughout, and provides reserve capacity for climate control without requiring generator use or shore power access. For the full-timer or the extended traveler, this changes the trip from a managed power budget into an open road. Humsienk 12V 314Ah LiFePO4 Battery with Bluetooth The Bluetooth variant shares the same 4,019Wh capacity, 200A BMS, and 15,000-cycle rating as the standard model. The $10 premium buys something that experienced off-grid users quickly come to regard as non-negotiable: real-time visibility into the battery's status at any moment during the trip. Voltage, temperature, and state of charge stream live to the Humsienk App on any paired mobile device, accessible while driving, cooking, working, or sleeping. The operational benefit is not convenience. It is early detection. An irregular discharge pattern identified at 9 PM is a minor correction. The same pattern discovered at 2 AM, when the refrigerator has been off for hours and the interior temperature is already climbing, is a different problem entirely. The Bluetooth model converts that 2 AM discovery into a 9 PM adjustment. For anyone managing a multi-battery bank or deploying power across an extended off-grid trip where the nearest service point is a full day's drive away, that level of visibility is worth considerably more than $10. Stock on both 314Ah variants is limited. Neither model will be restocked at Prime Day pricing once current inventory is depleted. The Golf Cart Upgrade Path: Two Batteries, Two Tiers of Performance Lead-acid golf cart batteries have defined the category by default for decades, not by merit. The competition for the modern golfer and fleet operator is not between lead-acid brands. It is between lead-acid and what Humsienk now makes available at Prime Day pricing. Humsienk GEN2 48V 100Ah Bluetooth LiFePO4 Battery Humsienk 48V 150Ah Golf Cart Battery — Powered by Zeekr LiFePO4 Blade Cells Zeekr LiFePO4 Blade Cell technology was developed in one of the most demanding thermal and cycle environments a battery cell can be engineered for: electric vehicle powertrains. Deploying that cell architecture in a golf cart battery brings EV-grade thermal stability, energy density, and cycle durability to an application category where the performance ceiling has historically been set far too low. ForHumsienk 48V 150Ah Golf Cart Battery, this is not generic cells carrying a premium label. They are a defined technology with a verified performance record in the EV market, now available at Prime Day pricing in Humsienk's most capable golf cart battery to date. Power That Stays Home: Humsienk Stationary Storage for Home Backup and Off-Grid Living Every product covered in this release serves a specific mobile or recreational application. The two batteries in this section serve the application that anchors everything else: the home. Whether the goal is whole-home backup during a grid outage, a fully off-grid property operating independently of utility infrastructure, or a large-scale solar storage system designed to handle years of daily cycling, Humsienk's stationary storage lineup covers it at Prime Day pricing. Humsienk 48V 100Ah Server Rack Battery The defining characteristic of the48V 100Ah Server Rack Batteryis not its per-unit specification. It is what the unit becomes when you add more of them. A maximum of15 units in paralleldelivers76.8kWh of total storage capacity. That ceiling is not a theoretical figure appended to a marketing sheet. It is a designed specification built into every unit from the first one installed. A buyer who starts with a single 5.12kWh rack battery is not starting from scratch when their energy needs expand. They are starting with a foundation that already supports a 102.4kWh system. Every additional unit they add is fully compatible with the system already in place. Coming in July: Humsienk Inverter Series — Pre-Orders Open Now, Exclusively During Prime Day Humsienk's first-ever inverter series is scheduled to launch in July 2026, designed for compatibility with the Humsienk 48V battery lineup and built for both off-grid and home backup applications. Pre-orders open exclusively during the Prime Day window, at the end of June, giving Prime Day buyers first access to the series before it becomes available to the general market. The inverter series represents Humsienk's move from a battery brand into a complete power system provider. Buyers who invest in Humsienk batteries at Prime Day pricing this June are not purchasing a standalone product. They are establishing the energy storage foundation of a full Humsienk power system that arrives in July. Full specifications, model configurations, and pricing will be published at Humsienk official website ahead of the June Prime Day. Pre-order information and reservation details are available now during the Prime Day window. Every Order Is Backed: Humsienk's Full Purchase Confidence Package By this point in the sale, the pricing is at its lowest, the products are the same ones Humsienk builds year-round, and the only remaining question is whether to act now or wait. Humsienk's purchase confidence package is a direct answer to that question. 30-Day Price Protection Policy All orders placed between June 12 and June 30, 2026 are covered through July 30, 2026. If the same product appears at a lower price on Humsienk's official website at any point within that window, contact customer service atservice@humsienk.comwith your order number and a screenshot of the lower price. Humsienk will refund the full price difference to your original payment method promptly and without conditions. There is no version of a Prime Day purchase at Humsienk in which the buyer overpays. All-Platform Price Protection Humsienk's price protection extends beyond its own website and covers all sales platforms where Humsienk products are listed. For buyers who compared prices across multiple channels (Such as Amazon, Temu, AliExpress.ect) before arriving at this release, this removes the final residual concern: if a lower price surfaces anywhere after the purchase is made, Humsienk covers the difference. Priority Shipping for Early Orders During a high-volume sale period, order processing sequence carries real logistical weight. Orders placed early in the Prime Day window are processed and dispatched ahead of orders placed in the final days of the event. For buyers planning around a specific trip departure, installation date, or project deadline, placing an order on June 12 is a meaningfully better logistics decision than placing the same order on June 29. Why Humsienk Prime Day 2026 Is the Defining Energy Investment of the Year Humsienk Prime Day 2026 is not a promotional discount window laid over a standard catalog. It is the convergence of the brand's largest sale pricing, the permanent retirement of one of its most respected products, the first pre-order access to a new product category, and a rewards structure that makes every qualifying order worth more than its checkout total. Across seven products covering fishing, RV, golf cart, home backup, and off-grid applications, Zeekr LiFePO4 Blade Cells and Grade A lithium iron phosphate chemistry underpin cycle life ratings reaching 15,000 cycles and intelligent BMS protection rated at up to 200A continuous current. For 19 days, the price is the variable. Everything else stays exactly as it is built. All Prime Day discounts expire at midnight on June 30, 2026. The 12V 150Ah BT Group 31 exits the market permanently when current inventory is depleted, which may occur before that deadline.

Marine geophysical service provider PXGEO has joined forces with Norway’s state-owned energy giant Equinor to carry out testing of the next-generation underwater intervention drone (UID) technology for offshore inspection. PXGEO and Equinor have signed a one-year framework agreement to run autonomous inspection trials with theSaab Sabertooth UID. The work to be undertaken is expected to test and verify this UID technology, with the aim of validating autonomous behaviors for offshore inspection. As the first call-off for a test nearshore in Norway is already on the way, the Sabertooth will dock autonomously and inspect subsea infrastructure in AUV mode. This will be conducted using onboard sonar and cameras. The test represents PXGEO’s first step into a market where unmanned operations are becoming the standard. Peter Erkers, PXGEO’s Head of Strategy, commented:“This is our first commercial contract in autonomous subsea inspection and the right partner and platform to do it with.” This deal with Equinor follows PXGEO’stwo assignmentswith Petrobras-led consortia for the provision of seismic acquisition offshore Brazil.

Attenzione concentrata su infrastrutture dual use, rischi cyber, Ets e “l’importanza di mantenere condizioni di parità, affrontando le distorsioni derivanti da asimmetrie normative, concorrenza sleale e alcune pratiche di paesi terzi” In occasione del Consiglio Ue dei Trasporti andato in scena a Lussemburgo gli Stati membri hanno approvato le conclusioni sulla strategia europea per i porti; nell’occasione è stato riaffermato il ruolo vitale che i porti svolgono nel rafforzare l’autonomia strategica dell’UE, nel garantire le catene di approvvigionamento critiche, nell’accelerare la transizione energetica e nel mantenere la leadership globale dell’Europa nel trasporto marittimo. Nelle conclusioni, la Commissione Europea viene invitata a valutare l’efficacia delle strutture di coordinamento e governance esistenti a livello Ue e, ove necessario, a istituire nuovi meccanismi a sostegno dell’attuazione. Si sottolinea poi “l’importanza di mantenere condizioni di parità, affrontando le distorsioni derivanti da asimmetrie normative, concorrenza sleale e alcune pratiche di paesi terzi”. Gli Stati membri chiedono che gli sforzi proseguano per “garantire un accesso equo al mercato per gli operatori europei nei mercati portuali di paesi terzi, in condizioni equilibrate e non discriminatorie”. Il Consiglio accoglie con favore anche l’intenzione della Commissione di fornire orientamenti sulla valutazione degli investimenti esteri nei porti dell’UE. “Pur sottolineando che i porti europei devono rimanere destinazioni attraenti per gli investimenti, gli Stati membri evidenziano che il controllo degli investimenti dovrebbe essere basato sul rischio, proporzionato e non discriminatorio. Particolare attenzione dovrebbe essere rivolta alla salvaguardia della sicurezza economica e alla prevenzione di un indebito controllo straniero sulle infrastrutture e sulle operazioni portuali critiche” è scritto. Nel corso del Consiglio è emerso poi anche un tema di sicurezza all’interno di un contesto “sempre più complesso, caratterizzato da minacce legate al terrorismo, al sabotaggio, alla criminalità organizzata, alla corruzione, agli attacchi informatici, alle minacce ibride e a quelle poste dai droni. In tale contesto, gli Stati membri accolgono con favore le iniziative esistenti e future volte a rafforzare la sicurezza e la resilienza delle infrastrutture portuali. Tra queste figurano l’Alleanza europea dei porti, una maggiore cooperazione con i partner internazionali e i paesi terzi, e la prossima proposta di un quadro UE che agevoli la cooperazione tra gli Stati membri in materia di controlli sui precedenti dei lavoratori portuali”. Oltre a ciò anche il tema della mobilità militare è stato centrale. “I porti svolgono inoltre un ruolo cruciale nella mobilità militare e nella prontezza difensiva dell’Europa. In quanto nodi essenziali per il movimento di personale e attrezzature militari, i porti contribuiscono direttamente alla resilienza e alla sicurezza dell’Unione” è scritto nel rapporto finale. “Gli Stati membri – si legge – sottolineano pertanto che l’attuazione della strategia portuale dovrebbe essere strettamente allineata con il lavoro in corso sulla mobilità militare, facilitando il rapido dispiegamento delle forze e garantendo la coerenza con gli sforzi intrapresi nell’ambito della Nato”. Un capitolo a parte merito il sostegno alla transizione energetica: “Le conclusioni auspicano un maggiore sostegno alla fornitura di energia elettrica da terra (offshore power system), alle reti intelligenti, all’elettrificazione e a una migliore integrazione nella rete, garantendo al contempo che gli investimenti rimangano economicamente sostenibili e in linea con la domanda effettiva”. A questo proposito gli Stati membri sottolineano inoltre l’importanza di accelerare la diffusione della rete elettrica, le procedure di autorizzazione e gli investimenti nelle tecnologie per l’energia pulita. Incoraggiano l’utilizzo dei proventi del sistema di scambio di quote di emissioni (Ets) dell’UE per sostenere la decarbonizzazione del settore marittimo lungo tutta la catena del valore, compresi il trasporto marittimo, le infrastrutture portuali e i combustibili alternativi. Al contempo il Consiglio europeo “riconosce le preoccupazioni relative all’impatto del sistema Ets e di altre normative in materia di clima sulla competitività dei porti dell’Ue, compresi i rischi di deviazione del traffico, delocalizzazione delle emissioni di carbonio e trasferimento degli investimenti”. La Commissione è pertanto invitata a continuare a monitorare tali effetti e, se necessario, a proporre misure correttive mirate, preservando al contempo gli obiettivi climatici dell’Unione e garantendo l’allineamento con i quadri normativi internazionali. Affrontando il tema della coesione sociale e dei posti di lavoro di qualità, le conclusioni sottolineano l’importanza di garantire condizioni di lavoro sicure e di investire nella formazione, nella riqualificazione e nello sviluppo della forza lavoro per sostenere la trasformazione tecnologica del settore. Particolare attenzione dovrebbe essere dedicata ad attrarre donne e giovani verso le carriere nei settori marittimo e portuale”.

Il traffico dei porti del sistema portuale del Mar Tirreno centro settentrionale nei primi tre mesi del 2026 si è discostato poco da quello realizzato 12 mesi prima. Il leggero calo dello scalo principale, Civitavecchia (1,76 milioni di tonnellate), è stato più che compensato da piccoli incrementi a Fiumicino e Gaeta, tali da far chiudere il trimestre del network con un + 0,2% a 2.942.025 tonnellate. Un risultato scaturito da un sensibile incremento nelle rinfuse liquide (in particolare prodotti raffinati movimentati a Civitavecchia più che il traffico, stabile, del jet fuel di Fiumicino), salite del 6,3% a 1,23 milioni di tonnellate. A far da contraltare le rinfuse solide in calo del 23,6% a 320mila tonnellate. Particolarmente significativo il calo di oltre il 54% di prodotti metallurgici, concentrato a Gaeta. Positive le performances delle merci convenzionali, movimentate a Civitavecchia. Le 214mila tonnellate movimentate in contenitori sono valse il +3,4%, seppur a dispetto di un calo in termini di Teu pari al 5,4%, 26.428 in tutto, mentre i ro-ro sono cresciuti del 2,7% in tonnellate arrivando a 1.147.960 (+2,1% come trailer, saliti a 52.373). Decisamente sostenuta la crescita dell’automotive, con le vetture in polizza balzate a 77.650, pari a +49,4%, così come di rilievo sono stati i numeri del comparto passeggeri: quelli dei traghetti sono stati 170.692, +17,9%, i crocieristi 335.459, +32,1%. “Il primo trimestre del 2026 conferma la solidità del percorso di crescita intrapreso dal sistema dei Porti di Roma e del Lazio e dimostra come Civitavecchia stia consolidando il proprio ruolo di hub strategico nel Mediterraneo. I risultati registrati nel comparto crocieristico sono particolarmente significativi. L’aumento dei passeggeri, soprattutto nel segmento home port, testimonia la crescente attrattività internazionale dello scalo e il rafforzamento del suo ruolo quale porta d’accesso privilegiata a Roma e all’Italia. Al tempo stesso, la forte crescita del traffico automotive conferma la capacità del porto di intercettare nuovi flussi di traffico legati alla logistica. Proprio per questo ho voluto proporre l’idea di realizzare un grande multipiano che possa servire anche a dare una risposta concreta alla necessità di ulteriori spazi per fare crescere ancora l’automotive” ha dichiarato il presidente dell’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Tirreno Centro Settentrionale, Raffaele Latrofa. “Stiamo portando avanti interventi strategici che saranno determinanti per il futuro dei porti dell’intero network laziale: dal completamento dell’ultimo miglio ferroviario al cold ironing, dalle opere previste dal Pnrr ai progetti legati alla sostenibilità energetica e all’idrogeno, fino alla realizzazione del primo lotto del porto commerciale di Fiumicino. Infrastrutture moderne, intermodalità efficiente e transizione ecologica rappresentano le condizioni indispensabili per sostenere la crescita dei traffici, aumentare la competitività dei nostri scali e generare nuove opportunità di sviluppo economico e occupazionale per il territorio. Anche i numeri in crescita dei traffici commerciali del porto di Gaeta ci restituiscono l’immagine di uno scalo in salute, che già dai prossimi mesi potrà beneficare di un ulteriore impulso positivo anche per i passeggeri. Al Seatrade di Miami abbiamo avviato la promozione di Gaeta come porto per le navi boutique e il segmento delle crociere del lusso, per le quali stiamo aprendo un tavolo con Comune, Capitaneria di Porto e altri stakeholder per cogliere nuove opportunità molto concrete”.

Retrofitting a port berth with shore power can take anywhere from three to seven years of permitting, construction, and grid upgrades. Now, a UK company has developed a floating hydrogen-powered platform and can make that wait disappear without having to move a single brick. The Hydrogen Power Hub, a modular floating platform developed by a UK-led consortium headed by Elire Maritime, has cleared six months of engineering trials, removing the last technical barriers before commercial deployment. The system can dispatch up to 5 MW of continuous clean power directly to a docked vessel while it sits at berth – no grid connection, no port construction required. The platform is built from three hexagonal modules that together cover around 1,200 sq m (12,917 sq ft). At full capacity, it can supply 91 MWh of energy per week, enough to serve mid-size cruise ships. The core of the system is a set of 1.3-MW modular hydrogen fuel cells – essentially electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen gas into electricity through a chemical reaction, with water as the only byproduct. Those fuel cells run continuously, consuming between 7,500 and 8,000 kg (16,535 and 17,637 lb) of hydrogen per week, slowly charging a 45-MWh onboard battery bank. When a ship pulls up, that stored energy can be discharged rapidly like a giant power bank. An onboard solar array generates up to 146 kW of additional power, giving the platform some autonomy between hydrogen resupply visits, which happen roughly twice a week by support vessel. Docked ships are some of the dirtiest neighbors a port city has. Their diesel auxiliary engines keep running, burning fuel and pushing exhaust over the surrounding city just to keep the onboard systems alive. The Hydrogen Power Hub cuts port emissions by 77% compared to those conventional diesel generators, saving an estimated 47 tonnes of CO2 per ship per week and eliminating the particulate pollution that drifts over surrounding cities. One of the more novel technical bets is the hydrogen storage system developed by Rux Energy UK, which uses nanoporous materials – materials riddled with microscopic pores that trap hydrogen molecules – to store the gas compactly and at low pressure. That's a meaningful safety and logistics advantage over high-pressure tank alternatives. The University of Strathclyde stress-tested the designs in wave tanks to verify structural integrity and inter-module connectivity under storm conditions. Schneider Electric and Ricardo plc independently verified that the electrical architecture can operate fully off-grid and thathydrogenintegration meets safety standards. Engineers found no technical barriers to full construction. Its main downside is price. According to Elire, hydrogen-generated electricity from this platform is estimated at £0.25–0.50 per kWh (around US$0.33 to $0.67), compared to £0.15–0.25 (~$0.20 to $0.33) for grid power or diesel – roughly two to three times more expensive. But the platform's proponents argue that speed and flexibility change the equation. It can be assembled, deployed, and relocated as shipping routes shift, avoiding the risk of expensive fixed infrastructure becoming stranded. "Ports are under increasing pressure to decarbonize while facing major infrastructure constraints," said Luke Jenkinson, founder and CEO of Elire Maritime. "We have validated a practical, scalable, and deployable system capable of delivering clean power directly where it is needed most." The consortium, funded through the UKRI Clean Maritime Demonstrator Competition Round 6, has entered early stage engagement with ports in London, Singapore, Hamburg, Brisbane, and Riga – ports already under regulatory pressure to cut emissions but unable to pause operations for years of construction.

COP31 hosts Turkey urged countries Tuesday to join a voluntary push to make electricity account for 35 percent of global energy demand by 2035 as it outlined its priorities for the UN climate talks. The November summit in Antalya is taking shape as the Middle East conflict roils global energy markets, exposing fossil fuel importers to price spikes and supply shortages. The electrification target unveiled in Bonn was “a flagship initiative” of COP31 that could respond to this crisis and help insulate economies from fossil fuel price shocks, the Turkish conference organisers said in a statement. Thousands of climate negotiators are in Bonn this week and next to draft agreements and lay the groundwork for the final decisions taken by political leaders at the summit due to start November 9. Turkey said raising the global share of energy demand met by electricity from roughly 20 percent to 35 percent by 2035 would speed up the shift from fossil fuels to renewable power. “By electrifying daily life, from transport to buildings and industry, we can protect families and businesses from volatile energy markets,” incoming COP31 president Murat Kurum said in a statement. The goal will not require formal agreement by the nearly 200 nations taking part in the annual talks because it is part of the voluntary program that runs alongside the binding negotiations. This so-called “action agenda” encourages countries to join non-binding pledges and other initiatives to turn commitments made at the UN-sponsored climate talks into action on the ground. – Clean switch – In simple terms, electrification means replacing technologies that burn fossil fuels directly — such as gas heating systems and diesel vehicles — with electric alternatives. But for electrification to drive down heat-trapping emissions and tackle climate change, the extra electricity must come primarily from renewable sources — rather than fossil fuels. “If you electrify and you increase coal, then what are you doing?” veteran COP observer and E3G analyst Alden Meyer told AFP in Bonn. “You do need to both expand electrification and squeeze fossil fuels out of the electricity system at the same time.” The electrification target unveiled by Turkey did not explicitly state how that extra power should be produced. In 2025, renewables reached 34 percent of global electricity generation, overtaking coal’s 33 percent share for the first time in 100 years, according to energy think tank Ember. Australia, which is steering the formal negotiations in a COP31 co-hosting arrangement with Turkey, said electrification could cut emissions and shore up energy security. “I see them as different sides of the same coin. Electrification reduces the need for fossil fuels,” COP31 negotiations chief Chris Bowen, who is also Australia’s climate and energy minister, told AFP in an interview in Bonn on Monday.

Houston-based energy player Vaalco Energy has brought back online a field off the coast of Côte d’Ivoire, following an overhaul to extend the lifespan of a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel deployed at the African asset. Vaalco has confirmed the restart of production from theBaobab fieldon the CI-40 block, offshore Côte d’Ivoire, following theFPSO Baobab Ivoirien’s revamp after the vesselceased hydrocarbon operationsin January 2025. George Maxwell, Vaalco’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:“We are excited that the Baobab field on the CI-40 block offshore Côte d’Ivoire has restarted production in line with our projected timeline. We have the CI-40 block license extended through 2038 and believe that there is significant development drilling upside at Baobab. “In early 2024, we had no assets in Côte d’Ivoire and now we have developed a strong position with development and exploration potential. We are at a critical junction, with successes in the Gabon drilling campaign and the Baobab field returning to production, and we believe that the remainder of 2026 will be very impactful.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. FPSO on its way back to Côte d’Ivoire as US firm continues its drilling ops in Gabon Once the nine-month refurbishment wascompleted in Dubai, the FPSO returned to Côte d’Ivoire in early Q2 2026 to be moored in position and reconnected to the field infrastructure. As a result, production has resumed from four producing wells, with the remaining three producers expected to come online shortly. The company claims that the field is performing in line with its expectations. TheFPSO refurbishmentwas undertaken to extend the vessel’s life and ensure its long-term operational capacity, as a significant development drilling program at Baobab is planned to begin in the second half of 2026. This Phase 5 drilling program is expected to include four producers, two to three injectors, and two workovers, providing potential meaningful additions to production from the main Baobab field. Maxwell emphasized:“We remain focused on execution and driving meaningful growth through our organic capital programs that we believe will translate into value for our shareholders in 2026 and beyond.” Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

La presidenta de la Autoridad Portuaria de Almería, Rosario Soto, junto a representantes de autoridades portuarias y navieras durante la jornada técnica 'Neptuno', celebrada en Palma de Mallorca. - APA PALMA DE MALLORCA 8 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) - El Puerto de Almería avanza en su objetivo de cero emisiones con la electrificación de muelles, el impulso de energías renovables, la aplicación de medidas de eficiencia energética y el uso de inteligencia artificial (IA) para evolucionar como nodo climáticamente neutro, favorecer su convivencia con la ciudad, reducir el impacto medioambiental de la actividad portuaria y hacer más eficientes las operaciones desde el punto de vista logístico. Así lo ha expuesto este lunes la presidenta de la Autoridad Portuaria de Almería (APA), Rosario Soto, durante su participación en la jornada técnica 'Neptuno', celebrada en el Port Center de Palma de Mallorca, donde ha intervenido en una mesa de debate sobre la transición energética de los puertos. Soto ha compartido la mesa con el presidente de Baleària, Adolfo Utor; las presidentas de las autoridades portuarias de Cádiz y Valencia, Teófila Martínez y Mar Chao, respectivamente; y el director de la Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares, Antonio Ginard. La presidenta de la APA ha puesto como ejemplo de esta estrategia el sistema Acopia, implantado en el puerto para optimizar las operativas portuarias y su comportamiento medioambiental mediante IA. Para ello, el sistema utiliza datos objetivos obtenidos durante cerca de dos años de monitorización en tiempo real de la calidad del aire, de la calidad acústica y de su vinculación con la actividad portuaria. A partir de esa información, la IA simula posibles escenarios futuros según las condiciones meteorológicas, lo que permite "actuar preventivamente y evitar un impacto negativo en el ambiente y aumentar la eficiencia de una operación portuaria". Otra de las vías expuestas ha sido la electrificación de los muelles para implantar el sistema Onshore Power Supply (OPS), que será obligatorio en todos los puertos de la Red Transeuropea de Transporte en 2030. Con este sistema, los buques podrán conectarse eléctricamente a tierra durante las escalas, "lo que reducirá las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y la contaminación acústica". En esta línea, la APA licitará "en breve" la subestación eléctrica necesaria para llevar a cabo la electrificación. Esta infraestructura tendrá capacidad para 20 megavoltamperios y cuenta ya con una reserva garantizada de ocho megavatios, con la que se podrán alimentar hasta cinco buques de línea regular de manera simultánea. El OPS ha centrado gran parte del debate. Según ha quedado constatado en la mesa, la principal dificultad del sistema portuario para cumplir en 2030 con esta obligatoriedad europea radica en la garantía de potencia, una cuestión que Almería ha solventado con ese compromiso de ocho megavatios. Además, se ha apuntado la necesidad de una política energética nacional que garantice el suministro de esa potencia donde la ley obligue a disponer de ella y que establezca tarifas globales para evitar la competencia entre puertos e incluso con los combustibles tradicionales, de manera que a las navieras les resulte más rentable optar por el OPS que por el combustible. RENOVABLES Y EFICIENCIA ENERGÉTICA Las energías renovables y la eficiencia energética son otros dos objetivos en los que trabaja la APA, recogidos en su Plan Estratégico de Sostenibilidad. Respecto a las energías limpias, Soto ha indicado que en 2026, con las plantas solares fotovoltaicas para autoconsumo instaladas, el Puerto de Almería generará una cantidad de energía limpia en balance neto similar a la que consume la APA de manera directa. Para 2027, con la planta fotovoltaica de 885 kilovatios sobre una hectárea de superficie, que saldrá a licitación este semestre para su ejecución, "alcanzaremos el objetivo de huella de carbono cero, en cuanto a consumo directo de energía eléctrica por parte de la APA en el Puerto de Almería y, también en el Puerto de Carboneras, con la proyección de otra planta". Por otro lado, en 2027 todos los edificios de la Autoridad Portuaria de Almería contarán con calificación energética A o B. Ya tienen esa calificación el edificio Varadero, el Puesto de Control Fronterizo y la sede de la APA desde este año gracias a la nueva envolvente. La APA ha recordado que solo faltan el edificio de la Organización de Trabajadores Portuarios, cuya ejecución está actualmente en licitación, y la estación marítima, cuyo proyecto de ejecución está en fase de redacción para diseñar una envolvente y licitar su construcción este año. EL PUERTO, COMO IMPULSOR DE ENERGÍAS LIMPIAS El Puerto de Almería está inmerso en la transición energética en sus instalaciones y, además, impulsa el desarrollo de energías limpias a través de infraestructuras resilientes. En este ámbito, la ampliación del Muelle de Pechina "también puede favorecer el desarrollo de energía eólica marina por la proximidad del Puerto de Almería a diversas zonas de alto potencial" para parques eólicos en la región mediterránea. La ampliación del Muelle de Pechina, con una inversión prevista de 30 millones de euros, ha sido beneficiaria de seis millones de euros de fondos europeos del Mecanismo Conectar Europa (CEF) 2021-2027 para el impulso de una red transeuropea de transporte eficiente y sostenible.

Polydrops once noted it went through more than 100 CFD simulations to finalize the thin, tapered form of its wing-likeP21 family camping trailer. But apparently, it wasn't finished. Because as it ruggedized the P21 into off-road form, it also further massaged the vessel's already slippery aerodynamic profile. So whether you're worried about draining the battery of your Rivian R2 or sipping up every last drop of gas during a far-flung backcountry tour, the P21X helps ensure that doesn't happen ... and then it sleeps you and the family comfortably. The first thing we noticed about the P21X wasn't its lifted, slightly ruggedized build but the new aerodynamic design, particularly the fin-like spoiler extending off the rear roofline. But that aerodynamic update came as a result of the off-road modification program. Polydrops started off by lifting the X trailer by 4 inches (10 cm), sliding on some all-terrain tires in the process. The P21X now sits 15 inches (38 cm) clear off the ground and rides on an independent axle-less suspension. Drop your eyes down to the tires, and you can definitely notice some extra aluminum standing behind and above them compared to the P21. To compensate for the lifted body, Polydrops went back to the CFD software to analyze and tweak the aerodynamics package. The P21 always had a rough canoe-like form as viewed from above, its cabin swelling out at the sidewalls to crack open livable space before tapering in at the front and rear ends for better aerodynamics. The P21X body kit pushes that shape further into marine vessel-like territory by adding fins at the tail-end of the roofline, angled inward to further taper the upper rear-end in a way Polydrops can't do with the entire body without squeezing out critical livable space inside. This gives the new trailer a rear profile that looks like a fishtail or swallowtail. The new tail treatment doesn't add to the total length of the new trailer, which lists in at the same namesake 21 feet (6.4 m) as the original P21. That's thanks to the slight slope of the slim, tapered rear wall, which sticks out farthest at the bottom corner. Beyond that big addition, the P21X form looks largely the same as the P21, faceted sides angling outward from the thin rear wall to create interior space, then back inward to meet the hard-dropping roofline at the sharp front edge. Just above that front edge, you'll find the triangularApteranameplate at the nose of the flush-fit full-length rooftop solar panel array. For the P21X, Polydrops grows that setup to 1,300 standard watts, up from the 920-W standard kit atop the P21. The LFP battery bank maintains the same 5-kWh standard capacity with the option to double it to 10 kWh. Campers monitor that electrical system and other hardware using the 7-in touchscreen inside the trailer, which includes Bluetooth connectivity. To help conserve power, Polydrops installs a downsized 10,000-BTU air conditioning/heatpump unit. The trailer also includes a 30-A shore power hookup. The P21X comes with its floor plan standard, not sold in individual add-on modules like in the original P21. The layout is the same as the fully furnished P21, though, splitting the two boat-like V-berth double beds with an aisle-spanning kitchen. The kitchen has a sink console on one side of the trailer and a taller cooking console on the other side. The latter comes equipped with an induction cooktop and microwave, along with cabinetry and counter space. The cooler-style 25-L Dometic CFX3 fridge stows away under the front bed. Polydrops fully deconstructs its bathroom and plumbing system, storing a shower pan with drain away inside a chest next to the kitchen sink cabinet. The faucet is a portableDometic Gounit piped to a 34-L fresh water tank, while the shower is a portableGeyser systemdrawing from the same tank. A standard water heater ensures there's warm water for showering and dishwashing. The P21X webpage doesn't mention anything about a shower curtain, but Polydrops has developed a ceiling-secured deployable curtain for the P21. We assume it will offer it on the P21X as well, at least optionally. That would also create a private space for using the portable toilet, though toilet use might be better left outdoors as the shower room packs up to serve as part of the front bed – so good luck using it at night. The P21X cabin also includes two swivel tables that double as part of the bed platforms. The main table attaches to a pedestal to create a U-shaped dinette at the rear of the trailer. That dining lounge converts into the main 58 x 80-in (147 x 203-cm) bed at night. The second table attaches to a mount up front to create a more informal dining area/workstation at the cushioned seat atop the stored shower pan and the edge of the bed. The two beds together are aimed at sleeping a family of four. The interior stands 6 feet (1.8 m) high at its peak, offering comfortable standing room for most adults. The 2,100-lb (953-kg) P21X checks in a few hundred pounds heavier than the P21 but is still quite lightweight and compatible with a variety of vehicles, including electrics. Polydrops has listed the 21X as a limited-edition trailer and only plans to hand-build 20 examples at its California facility. Pricing starts at $76,900, and buyers can reserve their build slots through the Polydrops website. Source:Polydrops
