Hakeem Jeffries Finally Finds a Spine: Dem Leaders Rallied Against Extending Domestic Spy Law
📰 The Intercept 📅 2026-06-11 📍 New York/NJ en
Advocates welcomed centrist Democrats switching sides but warned against extending the spy law with or without Bill Pulte as spy chief. The post Hakeem Jeffries Finally Finds a Spine: Dem Leaders Rallied Against Extending Domestic Spy Law appeared first on Th…
When the Houseof Representatives voted on a long-term extension of a controversial surveillance law in April, House Democratic leaders were content to let their members vote as they wished, dealing a blow to privacy advocates seeking reforms to a provision that allows domestic spying without a warrant. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., had said he personally supported reforms, for instance, butdeclined to whip votes against the law. “Voting for a clean reauthorization of Section 702 is co-signing the Trump administration’s mass surveillance agenda.” President Donald Trump’s appointment of housing czar Bill Pulte to be the nation’s spy chief, however, appeared shore up Democratic leaders’ spines — for now. Citing Pulte’s lack of experience and fealty to Trump, Jeffries on Thursday corralled his members into opposing a short-term extension of the law, leading to a 218–198 defeat of the measure. Democratic leaders did not issue a formal whip notice, but they did release aforceful statement against ithours before the vote was set to take place. The different approach from leadership between the two votes was “night and day,” one Democratic staffer told The Intercept. Dozens of the 42 Democrats who had voted for the “clean” renewal last time reversed their positions, dooming an attempt by Speaker Mike Johnson. R-La., to pass the short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before it expires Friday. The hardened line was welcomed by advocates, but in a letter penned by dozens of civil society groups they told Democrats not to flip back without changes — whether Pulte is slated to take the helm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence or not. Hours after the failed vote, Trump said he would nominate Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to serve as national intelligence director. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard had resigned, saying her husband had been recently diagnosed with bone cancer, and isexpected to departon June 19. There are bedrock policy problems with the surveillance law that go much deeper than the personnel Trump installs atop spy agencies, the groups said in the letter. They asked Democrats to block a long-term renewal of Section 702 unless it includes major reforms. “Voting for a clean reauthorization of Section 702 is co-signing the Trump administration’s mass surveillance agenda,” the groups said in the letter. “Key administration officials — including Stephen Miller, FBI Director Kash Patel, and outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard — have made it clear that this reauthorization fight is a White House priority, and that reform is an unacceptable impediment to the administration’s agenda.” The letter targeted 42 Democrats — including House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Jim Himes, D-Conn. — whovoted in Aprilfor a “clean” three-year renewal of Section 702 with onlyminor tweaks. Himes was among those who, citing Trump’s appointment of Pulte to replace Gabbard, changed positions and voted against the extension Thursday.

Following the “clean” renewal’s failure and lawmakers’ inability to agree on a compromise for a longer extensions, more than 90 Democrats voted for the shorter-term postponement of Section 702’s expiration. Since then, advocacy groups have kept up their pressure on Democrats. Thursday’s vote suggests they are making progress. Only seven Democrats voted for the short-term renewal of the law on Thursday, compared to 199 opposed. The split was reversed in the Republican caucus, with 190 votes in favor and 19 against. The Democrats voting in favor of the short-term extension were Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas; Donald Davis of North Carolina; Jared Golden of Maine; Vicente Gonzalez of Texas; Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey; Susie Lee of Nevada; and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington. While the privacy advocates said reforms shouldn’t hinge on any spy official’s fate, they did say their preexisting concerns about the spying law were heightened by Trump’s appointment of Pulte and the administration’s recent release of acounterterrorism strategycalling for acrackdown on “left-wing extremists.” “It is alarming that, under these conditions in particular, any Democratic members of Congress would vote to extend a warrantless surveillance authority for this administration to wield with no meaningful oversight,” the groups said. “The case for reforming Section 702 has never been more urgent. It is critical that you protect your constituents from the Trump administration’s mass surveillance agenda.” The groupssigning the letter Thursday— including the American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause, and many local chapters of the organizing group Indivisible — support requiring intelligence officials to obtain judicial approval for searches of American communications. Debates over the law, which was first passed in 2008, have occasionally flared thanks to events such as the disclosures of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and Trump’s complaints about a “deep state” intelligence conspiracy against him — though GOP opposition to the spy lawdwindledwith Trump taking power. The privacy advocates, however, said they have never seen left-leaning organizers as fired up as the current round of debate over the spying law — organizing that helped precipitate the turnaround by some Democrats. Some Democrats who were previously staunch supporters of the domestic surveillance law, such asRep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y.,and now facing serious primary challenges voted against clean reauthorization in April, though Goldman missed Thursday’s vote.

Trump’s appointment of Pulte to serve as intelligence chief has put the law’s most fervent Democratic supporters in a bind, however, given his lack of qualifications for the job and accusations that he haswielded sensitive government databasesagainst Trump’s opponents. Himes, for instance, led the House Intelligence Committee’s Democrats in writing aletterto Trump calling on him to rescind his appointment of Pulte on Wednesday. The Connecticut representative sounded exasperatedin comments to Politicoearlier this week. In previous fights over renewal of the surveillance law, reformers have suggested that the deadlines were artificial because of certifications from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court allowing spy agencies to continue collecting overseas communications for another year. “It’s a total mess,” Himes told the outlet. “Very sadly, I think we’re going to test this untested question about whether the program can run on a judicial certification alone.” IT’S EVEN WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. What we’re seeing right now from Donald Trump is a full-on authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government. This is not hyperbole. Court orders are being ignored. MAGA loyalists have been put in charge of the military and federal law enforcement agencies. The Department of Government Efficiency has stripped Congress of its power of the purse. News outlets that challenge Trump have been banished or put under investigation. Yet far too many are still covering Trump’s assault on democracy like politics as usual, with flattering headlines describing Trump as “unconventional,” “testing the boundaries,” and “aggressively flexing power.” The Intercept has long covered authoritarian governments, billionaire oligarchs, and backsliding democracies around the world.

The ESG report highlights key milestones across environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance as the New Terminal One advances construction toward its first phase opening in 2026. Central to these efforts is an innovative microgrid energy system – among the largest in the New York City area – and one of the largest solar arrays installed on any U.S. airport terminal. The energy infrastructure, designed and being delivered by AlphaStruxure and featuringSchneider Electricequipment, will enhance resiliency, reduce environmental impact, and support reliable operations amid regional grid disruptions and extreme weather events. "As we build a transformational international travel experience in the United States, sustainability and resilience are not add-ons; they are foundational," said Uzoamaka N. Okoye, Chief of Staff, The New Terminal One at JFK. "This ESG report also showcases our commitment to integrating innovation, energy efficiency and responsible development into every phase of the project, from construction through future operations." Designed to serve up to 23 million passengers annually upon full completion, the new terminal will span 2.6 million square feet across a 134-acre footprint at completion and represents a $9.5 billion investment. The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center and an entirely new, simplified roadway network. Once complete, the New Terminal One will feature 23 gates and support more than 10,000 jobs, including over 6,000 union construction positions throughout the life of the project. Environmental progress detailed in the report includes: The New Terminal One has partnered withTCR, a global leader in ground support equipment (GSE) solutions, to provide an all-electric GSE fleet at the new world-class international gateway. The New Terminal One is the first airport terminal in the world to commit to a centralized fleet of all-electric ground support equipment. Operating a fully electric GSE fleet through an innovative pooling model is a key part of the New Terminal One's sustainability strategy, which supports the Port Authority's goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the agency's airports and facilities by 2050. The ESG report also outlines the New Terminal One's role in supporting the local economy and community, including a $1.72 million investment in outreach programs focused on business development, education, workforce development, and environmental stewardship. Additionally, the organization has issued more than $3.9 billion in green bonds across 2024 and 2025 to finance sustainable infrastructure, supported by third-party verification to ensure transparency and accountability. Schneider Electric has played a key role in enabling the New Terminal One's energy and digital infrastructure strategy, helping embed digitalization across critical terminal systems – from passenger-facing technologies to operational and energy management platforms.

NBA Mock Draft 8.0: The latest projections for all 60 picks, including a new landing spot for Cameron Boozer
📰 Yahoo Entertainment 📅 2026-06-11 📍 New York/NJ en
Here's my full two-round mock draft with analysis for every choice based on all the latest intel.
We are witnessing a perfect 10 out of 10NBA Finals, and 28 other teams in the league can only watch and imagine what they're missing to be on this stage. That process is happening now with negotiations forGiannis Antetokounmpo, player workouts across the country and debates within front-office boardrooms. The first round of the2026 NBA Draftis June 23 in New York. The second round will be on the following day. Here's my full two-round mock draft with analysis for every choice based on all the latest intel. "Ask Kevin O'Connor"Check out our new interactive feature on theNBA Draft Guide, which delivers AI-powered answers to your NBA Draft questions written in Kevin O'Connor's style and drawing from his in-depth analysis. Dybantsa could become one of the NBA's most unstoppable shot-creators. At 6-foot-9, he has a special blend of athletic tools with the way he bends, shifts, and explodes with the ball in his hands. He gets to the rim at will, cooks in the midrange, draws fouls at a high rate, and displays point-forward potential. In Washington, the pressure will be alleviated on him early in his career, now that he's teammates with veteransTrae YoungandAnthony Davis. In the longer term, Dybantsa fits:Alex Sarralready looks like an effective two-way big, while guards and wings likeKyshawn George,Tre Johnson,Will Riley, andBilal Coulibalyhave all shown flashes. But none of them project to be a superstar like Dybantsa, whose upside will be determined by whether he can become a knockdown 3-point shooter, as well as a more impactful defender to take full advantage of his physical tools. But even with those areas for improvement, Dybantsa has an MVP ceiling. I'm moving Boozer into this slot, and it's not based on any intel at all. It's just a gut feeling based on history. Once upon a time, theCelticshad the first pick in the draft. Then they traded it!Bostonworked outMarkelle Fultz, the consensus first pick in 2017, and something was just off. Fultz didn't perform well at the workout, but he also didn't display leadership qualities. Alarm bells went off. So the Celtics traded down and landedJayson Tatumin what has gone down as one of the greatest trades in the history of basketball. So, you're telling me that a Jazz front office, now led by Danny Ainge and Austin Ainge, will take Darryn Peterson? Peterson has the whole cramping saga. He also missed 11 of 35 games, and one of them came against undefeated Arizona when he pulled himself 15 minutes before the game because of "flu-like symptoms." Peterson sits out of the biggest game of his life, and he calls himself an "anti-social loner." I just don't buy it when the alternate choice is one of the greatest college freshmen in recent history: Cam Boozer. NBA mock drafts:7.0•6.0•5.0•4.0•3.0•2.0•1.0 So that's why I've movedBoozerinto this slot. And here's why he's a fit in Utah: At 6-8 and 253 pounds, Boozer is the most polished player in the class. He scores from the post with both footwork and power, hits 40% of his 3s on high volume, and has enough handle to run offense as a point forward. He shifts between those modes based on what the defense gives him, and that adaptability led to a 35-win season at Duke and the Naismith Player of the Year award.Jaren Jackson Jr.andLauri Markkanenare both more perimeter-based players, so Boozer can play inside with them.Walker Kessler, who could be re-signed, is an interior player, so Boozer can create. The Jazz would be massive across positions, especially since this group could even moveAce Baileyto shooting guard. Jackson and Kessler could both support Boozer on defense, alleviating concerns about his explosiveness and size to protect the rim full time and his lateral quickness to switch onto guards. With the bloodline of two-time All-Star Carlos Boozer, the team that drafts him is betting that skill, adaptability and a track record of winning at every level all lead to superstardom. And the Jazz have the right pieces to make that future a reality for Boozer. Peterson is a buttery smooth scorer with a blend of fluid body control and positional size that gives him the ingredients to become an elite NBA player. At the high school level, he was a dynamic playmaker who used his burst to get into the teeth of defenses and generate buckets for himself and his teammates, while also showing off the kind of shot-making that draws comparisons to Hall of Famers. At Kansas, he thrived in an off-ball role, stroking jumpers out of movement actions and showing he can scale up or down depending on what a roster needs. Even when he isn't scoring, he's a high-impact defender who causes chaos off-ball and has the 6-11 wingspan to switch screens. The concern isn't his game. It's his body, which is why he slipped to third in this mock. Peterson missed 11 of 35 games and pulled himself out of others due to cramping, capping off one of the weirdest freshman seasons in recent memory. Questions about his burst, his availability, and what exactly is going on under the hood are going to define how NBA front offices feel about him at the top of this draft. But maybe that could work to the benefit of the Grizzlies given the need for a guard and his fit as a big guard alongsideCedric Cowardand the two-man actions that could develop with a skilled center likeZach Edey. Wilson is the most gifted athlete in the draft. He's 6-9 with springs for legs. When he's flying above the rim, finishing through contact, and chasing down every shot in his area code, he looks like a future franchise cornerstone. That's exactly what the Bulls need in the frontcourt. But Wilson isn't a sure thing. He made too many aloof rotations as an off-ball defender at North Carolina, and the speed of NBA offenses will test him even more. He also won't be sharing the floor with two bigs like he often did in college. On offense, Wilson has never shot jumpers with any consistency at any level, so it'd be a bonus if he can figure that out. And he might have to forJosh GiddeyandMatas Buzelisto be optimized. Still, even without the jumper, he has star upside. I mentioned last week that the Clippers are widely considered the most likely team to trade down from this range, and the expectation is that the teams moving up are — unsurprisingly — the teams with multiple firsts:Atlanta(8th and 23rd),Dallas(9th and 30th),Oklahoma City(12th and 17th), and Charlotte (14th and 18th).Milwaukeecould be added to that list if Giannis Antetokounmpo is traded toMiami. That doesn't mean anything will happen, but it's noteworthy that different teams could swoop up and target different players, which could disrupt any board. If the Clippers stay put, maybe Brown could be the pick. Brown has an unstoppable pull-up jumper, an ambidextrous finishing ability, and the quick reads to rifle passes before the defense has time to react. He had a 45-point breakout performance in February after a back injury dogged him all freshman year and then ended his year later in the month. The absences muddy the evaluation and leave real questions about his consistency that may not get answered until he's fully healthy. But right now, he is, and all indications are that he is dominating workouts. ForwardsNate Amentand Karim Lopez worked out against each other in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Lopez revealed on my podcast. Projected lottery picksKeaton Waglerand Kingston Flemings were originally scheduled to attend that workout, but dropped out after a group workout in Chicago that both also attended, according to league sources. There is a sense in opposing front offices that Brooklyn could trade down from this spot, whether it's with a team trying to leap way up the board or even up just one spot in the Kings or two spots in theHawks. Weeks ago I reported the Kings are widely believed to be targeting Acuff, so that's in part why he's the pick here for Brooklyn. Want your guy? Trade for him. Acuff would make sense for the Nets anyway given the need for a face of the franchise. Acuff is not the biggest guard or the most explosive athlete, but he reads defenses like someone who's been in the league for a decade. He emerged as a freshman as a skilled, low-turnover playmaker. And that's not even what he's best at. Acuff is a wiry scorer who can get a bucket from anywhere on the floor with a quick trigger, slippery handle, and a feel for manipulating defenses. He has a knack for clutch moments too. The question that follows every undersized guard into the draft is whether the brilliance survives contact with bigger, longer, faster defenders. The Kings are working out Keaton Wagler next week, according to league sources. Though Acuff remains the favorite for this choice, the franchise of course is doing its due diligence and Wagler could be available after he was previously expected to be the fifth choice. There was a bit of shock on social media when I moved Wagler down last week. But inevitably, someone will slip on draft night. And it could be Wagler, since league sources say the Clippers aren't head over heels in love with him for the fifth pick and Wagler's group canceled his workout this week with the Nets, who have the sixth pick. But Wagler is still a lottery lock. Someone will scoop him up if he does fall to this range after he became the orchestrator of a high-powered Illinois offense with his high-IQ playmaking and crafty scoring. After he showed up at Illinois as a four-star recruit with no expectations of becoming a one-and-done, he scored 46 at Purdue against a top-ranked team in the country, then kept rolling and led the team to an unexpected Final Four appearance. But he's a quirky player in that he logged zero dunks. To become an NBA star, Wagler needs to overcome a lack of traditional athleticism. And teams question just how special he is as a shooter too. The Hawks could use a true center and the best one in this class is Mara, who stepped on UCLA's campus as a lottery-projected center from Spain. Then he fell off draft boards during two forgettable seasons there before transferring to Michigan and becoming one of the best true 5s in the country on his way to winning the national championship. He reads the floor like a guard, finishes with both hands, and swats shots with elite timing. Quin Snyder will love using him as a facilitator from the wings and elbows. The complication is he doesn't shoot from outside, makes below 60% of his free throws, and opponents are going to attack him on the perimeter. But the Hawks are building a team littered with size, length and versatility. If there's anywhere that Mara could best reach his potential, it might be Atlanta. Adam Finkelstein of CBS Sports reported that Burries hasn't taken many workouts and there is speculation that he's trying to angle his way to Dallas. I also have heard that same chatter, which is why he lands here. To add some more color to that reporting: Burries is represented by Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, who steered Dereck Lively to the Mavericks with the 12th pick in the 2023 draft, even though some teams picking higher wanted to select Lively. It would make perfect sense for Klutch to want Burries to be the guard paired withCooper Flaggfor many years to come. Burries is a physical, versatile scorer who can beat you from all three levels, rebounds like a forward and competes hard on defense. But he's a methodical creator rather than an explosive one, and his shooting history before Arizona gives scouts reason to wonder whether the efficiency is real or a blip. The Bucks have been signaling to people around the league that they could have multiple first-round picks on draft night. While this could be a leverage tactic in trade talks with teams interested in Giannis Antetokounmpo — and a negotiation tactic with agents as an attempt to schedule more workouts — there certainly are a lot of signals that Milwaukee does indeed have some strong offers on the table for Giannis. The Bucks should take a swing to jump start their new era, whether or not Giannis is part of it. Flemings could be that type of bet since he plays with surgical midrange touch, an explosive first step and the passing vision of a true point guard who can run an offense. But Flemings is also 183 pounds and midrange-heavy in a 3-point league, and he watched his efficiency crater against the stiffest competition late in the season. The question is whether his scoring package translates against NBA length and spacing, or whether opposing scouts figure him out the same way late-season defenses did. Still, he brings incredible effort and passion to the floor and will likely maximize whatever he's going to become. It was a brutal season. The Warriors lostJimmy Butlerto a torn ACL andMoses Moodyto a torn patellar tendon, watchedSteph Currymiss 27 games with knee issues, and finally gave up onJonathan Kuminga. Golden State has been desperately searching for a young star to extend Curry's championship window, and bridge into whatever comes next. It will be harder to do that here after not getting lucky in the lottery. But maybe the Warriors will find a star. Players who can handle, shoot off the dribble, and stand at 6-10 don't grow on trees. This physical foundation kept Ament in lottery consideration even after a dreadful start to his freshman season when he struggled to score efficiently and make an impact defensively. But over the second half of the year for Tennessee, he flipped a switch and shots began to fall. He averaged 23.8 points over a six-game stretch in January and February that reminded everyone why he was a top recruit in the country. Then he dealt with an ankle injury that ruined his momentum entering March and severely struggled during the tournament. Steve Kerr re-signed for a two-year deal and would probably rather have a pro-ready player, but maybe Ament will be the young guy who exceeds expectations and turns into a star. It has been widely reported that the Thunder could look to move up from this 12th choice. But if they stay put, López checks a lot of boxes with his excellent physical tools, hard-nosed approach, well-rounded ability to defend multiple positions and handle the ball, and blossoming shot. But he's thus far more of a jack of all trades since his jumper runs hot and cold and he lacks the burst to blow by defenders off the bounce. Regardless, not every player is drafted with stardom in mind. López has all the requisite skills to enhance a star teammate as a key piece on a winning team. The Heat are indeed the favorite to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, so there's a strong probability that Milwaukee could end up picking in this slot. Some league sources even expect a trade to happen as soon as the NBA Finals conclude, though the longer this series goes the more time there could be for other teams to step up their offers. Regardless, a smart choice here could be Steinbach, who will enter the NBA with some readymade skills as an interior scorer and rebounder. He has massive hands that he uses to grab every possible rebound and finish effectively around the basket. He also showed legitimate touch on 3-pointers in flashes, which would turn him into a very different player if it becomes real. But he's not quite a true 7-footer, and there are specific matchups where he gets targeted in space. It's encouraging, though, that he bulked up from 220 to 248 pounds from the start of his freshman year at Washington until now. He was already strong, and now he's making the case that he can be a true center for any team. You know the guy on a championship team who never gets enough credit nationally? The one who sets the bone-crushing screen that springs the star, then immediately sprints to the rim for the lob, then turns around and blows up the other team's pick-and-roll on the other end all in one sequence? That's Morez Johnson. He transferred from Illinois to Michigan and became the connective tissue of the national champions as a 251-pound wrecking ball with surprisingly soft hands and the defensive IQ to guard 1 through 5 in a switch-heavy scheme. And the Hornets are in need of someone with Johnson's multi-position versatility sinceMiles Bridges,Josh Green, andGrant Williamsall have just one more season on their contracts. The issue with Johnson is he's not quite big enough to be a true center and not yet proven enough as a shooter to guarantee he spaces the floor. But even without a jumper, Johnson has a long future ahead of him at the next level – and that is why league sources say his stock is on the rise into the mid-late lottery range. The Bulls have a lot of guards on their roster, but probably not the right guy for the long term. Stirtz feels the game at a different frequency than everyone else on the floor, and yet still makes scouts squint because he doesn't look the part athletically. The question isn't whether he can play, though. After transferring from Drake to Iowa, he kept cooking with bullseye passes, pump-fakes, and shooting touch off the dribble from NBA range. If he adjusts to the physicality and speed of the NBA, he could thrive as both a floor general and off-ball connector. After landing Peterson with the third pick, the Grizzlies find a backcourt partner here who complements Peterson's perimeter style. Okorie is the best driving guard in the class, a 6-1 jitterbug who manipulates defenders with a tight handle, sudden changes of speed, and an advanced feel for the game. He's not an above-the-rim athlete, though, and not long ago he was a kid from New Hampshire who ranked outside the top 100 and committed to Harvard. Then Stanford found him, he flipped his commitment, and he proceeded to lead the ACC in scoring with eight 30-point games and a habit for hitting clutch shots. NBA teams will have to decide whether what carved up the ACC will survive against bigger, longer defenders. The Thunder could combine this choice with the 12th pick to move into the top 10, or if they can't do that they could flip this first for a future first. A popular target here might be Graves, who was a point guard before a late growth spurt, and whose floor skills carried over when he sprouted to 6-8. He came off the bench at Santa Clara as a redshirt freshman and quietly became one of the most efficient producers in college basketball. While he lacks great athleticism and had some struggles against the limited top competition that he faced, the analytics love him, and he passes the eye test with his elite feel for the game. The Hornets don't necessarily need any more shot creators. But Thomas has shown the ability to thrive with and without the ball. You could see that on the court the way he never hesitated to fire, stepped right into the lead role when Darius Acuff was sidelined at Missouri to close the regular season, and willed Arkansas to the SEC championship game with 29 against Ole Miss. He's a legit NBA shooter with deep range, a quick release, and creation juice off the bounce. But he doesn't get to the rim, his shot selection drifts into hero-ball, and there are questions about how he'll deal with NBA physicality. League sources say that Anderson has worked out for multiple teams that hold top-10 picks this year. Point guards in this range are all in a fight for similar spots, though, so beauty will be in the eye of the beholder. Maybe Anderson could fit Toronto since he has an elite shooting ability and a dynamic pick-and-roll creation feel. These skills would complement Toronto's existing core, headlined byScottie Barnes. But at his small stature he hasn't shown a consistent ability to get to the rim with any regularity. And any small guard will always be a target on defense, so there's a lot of pressure on his shot translating to the next level. I genuinely don't know what to say to Spurs fans after that 29-point blown lead. The only silver lining is the fact that this team is still so young, still so good, still should conceivably be contending for many years to come, but nothing is ever certain. That's the terrifying part about being in this situation. With the chance to win a championship and then choking away the opportunity, even if you think you'll be back, you truly just don't know if you actually will be. While these Finals are ongoing, the Spurs do have to invest time into the draft, and it's very possible a potential steal could fall into their laps with this 20th pick. Lendeborg has a compelling story. Poor grades kept him off his high school varsity team. He went to a JUCO. Then UAB. Then he entered the draft, went through the combine, pulled his name back, and came back for one more year at Michigan and won a national championship. He just kept getting better every single time the competition got harder. He fills the stat sheet, he can play multiple positions, and he has a 7-foot-4 wingspan at 241 pounds with a genuine handle. But he'll be 24 as a rookie, and teams still have concerns about his maturity level. The arc is a great story. But he could slip outside of the lottery come draft night, and maybe that could be a blessing in disguise for him if he's able to land with an organization like the Spurs who need a player with his exact skill set and have the perfect infrastructure. The Pistons need more shooting and more creation. Carr checks both boxes. After two forgettable years at Tennessee, he transferred to Baylor, and led the team in scoring, shot nearly 40% from 3 on high volume, and looked like a 3-and-D role player who also has blossoming skills off the dribble. With NBA genes in his blood, as the son of former player Chris Carr, Cameron has the skills to make it in the NBA. But at 184 pounds with not a ton of games under his belt, he's going to get introduced to the NBA's physicality in a way college basketball never did. Finding a center to play behind Joel Embiid needs to be prioritized. Embiid simply cannot be trusted to stay on the floor. Cenac checks every box on paper as a superb athlete who moves like a wing, has the length to alter shots, and shoots from the perimeter. Houston handed him a starting role with national title aspirations and trusted him with heavy minutes. But the Cougars fell short again, in part because Cenac struggled to stay out of foul trouble, couldn't score efficiently, and was overeager to play on the perimeter despite having the body of a bruiser. He arrived in college with lottery expectations, and he still could become that player in the future. But the NBA team drafting him is taking a project. A guard is going to slip on draft night. In this mock, the unlucky winner is Philon, a shifty, score-first point guard who blossomed into one of the best guards in college basketball as a sophomore. He doubled his scoring output with buttery floaters, a deceptive handle, and a feel for running an offense, while also beginning to shore up the shooting questions that once clouded his projection. But maybe this could be the best for Philon, since Atlanta could surround him with long-armed perimeter players – and now a massive 7-3 center in Mara, their first choice in this mock. But why isn't Philon in the lottery with all that skill? He is a below-the-rim athlete and is listed under 180 pounds, so his slight frame remains the one thing standing between him and stardom. For all the talk about how effective Jalen Brunson has been leading the Knicks to the NBA Finals, he has 30 to 40 pounds on Philon thanks to a wider, thicker frame that can support that weight. And Hawks fans already know all about the challenges of having a small guard. I'm still in complete and utter shock about what I witnessed last night at Madison Square Garden. If there's one thing that's clear about this roster, it's the level of toughness and grit shared across positions. It's a group of resilient, hard-nosed individuals that collectively make a winning impact. With the Knicks one game away from winning their first championship in 53 years, there is still a chance that roster turnover will occur this offseason. With Mitchell Robinson entering free agency this summer, it would make sense for the Knicks to bolster the frontcourt. Peat's bloodline is so loaded with offensive linemen that it's almost funny he ended up playing basketball. His father played nine NFL seasons. His uncle was a Pro Bowl tackle. Two brothers played college ball on the line. And you can absolutely see it in how he plays: powerful, physical, relentless, and it genuinely takes something special to stop him from getting to where he wants to go. He opened the season with a 30-point game against defending champion Florida and backed it up as one of Arizona's best players all year on its way to the Final Four. Since Peat can't shoot yet, it'll be important that he's paired with a floor-spacing center like Karl-Anthony Towns. Or he could serve as a small-ball center in switchable lineups. So even though Peat entered the year with top-10 hopes, it might be a blessing in disguise for him to fall to the end of the first round. What type of support does Luka Dončić need by his side? Versatile wing defenders who can serve as connectors on offense. Swain is relentless getting to the rim, creative as a finisher, and active enough defensively to project as a switchable wing. But the reason he lives at the rim is because his jump shot is genuinely terrible. He has stiff mechanics, bad percentages, and a reluctance to even attempt it that goes all the way back to high school. He made improvements at Texas, though, so there's hope his soft touch at the line and from the paint will eventually translate. The Jonas Valančiūnas acquisition didn't go quite as planned for the Nuggets last year. Maybe they'd have better luck in the draft. Quaintance is going to get drafted based almost entirely on what he looked like before his knee exploded. As a freshman at Arizona State, he was blocking everything in sight, showing defensive instincts and mobility that players his size aren't supposed to have, and he was 17 years old while doing it. Then came the ACL, the meniscus, the fractured knee, the transfer to Kentucky, persistent swelling, and a shutdown for the remainder of his sophomore season. Now teams have to make a decision after 28 games of great defense with eyesore offense. After the Nikola Vučević experiment fell short for the Celtics, Veesaar would present a new opportunity. He is an agile big with real shooting touch, connective playmaking, and baseline skills with the ability to set screens and catch lobs. He also offers rim protection and is a locked-in help defender. In all three of his collegiate seasons, he made a massive leap in production each year. But he's 227 pounds and his lanky frame can get pushed around, plus he still hasn't fully defined his cornerstone skill. Just look at how crucial Mike Conley still was to the Timberwolves in these playoffs. But he's 38. And Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will both be upcoming free agents. The Wolves might need a secondary shot creator that can double up as a scorer. Evans is the kind of shooter that defenses guard and think they've got him contained, then he uses a screen and catches it off a full sprint, moving away from the rim, and somehow manages to rise into a perfect 3-pointer. He's a legitimate sharpshooter with the off-ball chops to thrive without even running any offense for himself, and he also has a developing handle that could unlock more creation chances. But he's still a perimeter-based player who needs to add more layers to his game to become a complete offensive talent. Keon Ellis and Dean Wade will be free agents this summer, and Max Strus will be in one year. It may be time for the Cavaliers to get a wing — one with more skill — in the developmental pipeline alongside Jaylon Tyson. De Larrea is a tall playmaking guard with major feel and a knockdown jumper who thrives within team concepts. He suffered a dislocated shoulder that ended his 2024-25 season and removed him from draft boards, but it ended up a blessing in disguise since he returned with a bigger role and stronger production for a great team in the EuroLeague. With size, smarts, and defensive versatility, he could carve out a role in the NBA if his international skill can translate. Suigo has until June 13 to decide if he's going to stay in this year's draft or commit to a college – likely Villanova. In all likelihood, he's heading to school. But there's still some chatter around the league about him sneaking into the first round. To play with that idea in this mock, let's put Suigo on the Mavericks. Suigo has said he wants to be the Italian Wemby and, at 7-3 with passing feel and shooting touch, you can see why a teenager might put that out into the universe. Suigo lacks the handle and self-creation chops to ever be the best player on a team, but his dynamic skills as a passer, shooter, and lob threat layer cleanly on top of baseline center duties as a screener, finisher, and rim protector. Becoming the Italian Marc Gasol is a more realistic goal, and would still be an excellent outcome. 31. New York Knicks Jack Kayil, 6-4, Alba Berlin international guard Kayil is a combo guard with a strong frame, a feel for the game that exceeds his youth, and the grit to become a high-level defender. He just became one of the youngest players to ever win the German League's Under-22 Player of the Year, joining Franz Wagner and Dennis Schröder on a list that bodes well for his NBA prospects. He committed to Gonzaga back in October, but has decided to stay in the draft — a decision that surprised some scouts since he has yet to prove he can shoot consistently or run an offense full-time. But there's no denying his upside and he could end up one of the late risers in this class. 32. Memphis Grizzlies Tarris Reed, 6-10, UConn senior big Reed is a throwback center who played at his best on the biggest stage on UConn's way to the national title game. He does all the dirty work inside the paint as a finisher and rebounder and shot-blocker. But beyond his ability to screen and pass, he isn't all too comfortable on the perimeter as a shooter or defender. So there are questions about his upside, especially since he'll be 23 as a rookie. 33. Brooklyn Nets Zuby Ejiofor, 6-8, St. John's senior forward After Ejiofor's freshman year at Kansas, Bill Self told him he wasn't good enough to play major minutes on any Big 12 team. Three years later, he became the unanimous Big East Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Tournament MVP, and Scholar-Athlete of the Year — the first player in the league's history to sweep all four in a single season — and he helped St. John's bounce his former team in the Round of 32 on the way to the program's first Sweet 16 in 25 years. Ejiofor found success with foundational skills: motor, length, and defensive versatility. The question with Ejiofor is the fact he's undersized for a center and his jumper is still a work in progress. But he's developed enough to deserve a chance to figure it out in the league. 34. Sacramento Kings Alex Karaban, 6-7, UConn senior forward Karaban makes defenses pay the moment they relax on him. He relocates for a 3, cuts when nobody's watching, and does everything efficiently. He's a similarly high-effort, high-IQ player on the defensive end, which helps him overcome his average athleticism. But he'll be 24 as a rookie, and hasn't shown much upside. He rarely shoots off the dribble because of his funky mechanics. So if his role-player skills are slow to translate, his margin for error is narrower than for most. 35. San Antonio Spurs Joshua Jefferson, 6-8, Iowa State senior forward Some players are drafted for their ceilings. Others for their floor. Jefferson lands in the latter category as a 22-year-old senior who spent four years in college getting better at everything to the point he's a steady, high-feel forward. He can pass out of the post, make connective reads, and guard multiple positions. He just needs his shooting progress to prove to be real, and right now there's not enough of a sample to be sure it is. 36. Los Angeles Clippers Baba Miller, 6-11, Cincinnati senior forward Miller is a fluid athlete who grew up playing guard before a late growth spurt. He retained his perimeter skills given the way he can handle in the open floor and make advanced moves. He's also an equally compelling defensive player who can switch across positions. The big issue, and the main reason why he has spent four years in college, is that he still can't shoot. 37. Oklahoma City Thunder Dillon Mitchell, 6-7, St. John's senior forward Mitchell showed up at Texas as a McDonald's All-American, and back then it looked like a jump shot was the only thing standing between him and stardom. Four years and three schools later, the jumper is still nonexistent. And yet, he's played his way onto boards anyway as a left-handed power player who finishes everything around the rim, wrecks games on defense, and blossomed into a high-feel passer as a senior at St. John's. The non-shooting is a problem, but on the right team his athleticism on offense and defensive versatility could allow him to carve out a long career. 38. Chicago Bulls Ryan Conwell, 6-2, Louisville senior guard Conwell's college career took him from South Florida to Indiana State to Xavier, and then to Louisville, and he got better at every stop. By the end of his senior year he was the leading scorer for the Cardinals at 18.8 points per game. He's a stocky 6-2 lefty with broad shoulders, no real first step, and exactly one dunk in four years of college basketball. But he's a knockdown shooter with deep range and a bruiser at the rim who absorbs contact like a fullback. The question is whether the climb continues at the next level, when he can't muscle his way to the cup or shoot over the top of smaller defenders the way he could in college. 39. Houston Rockets Bruce Thornton, 6-0, Ohio State senior guard Thornton is a three-level scorer with playmaking feel and the competitive fire that lifts a locker room. But he's short and not a bursty athlete, which means he projects as a reserve point guard. Players with his intangibles can prove to be important to winning teams, though. He was a four-year captain at Ohio State, and improved every year on his way to becoming the school's all-time leading scorer. 40. Boston Celtics Richie Saunders, 6-5, BYU senior wing Saunders is a hard-nosed, two-way wing who plays with manic energy, hustling around the floor hunting for steals on defense and jumpers on offense. The team that gets him knows exactly what they're gonna get out of him. He's also skilled, though, with a quick-trigger jumper, soft touch on floaters, and a feel for moving the ball. With less than ideal size and athleticism, he more likely projects as a solid role player. But he's not a guarantee to succeed at age 25 after tearing his ACL in February, ending his four-year career at BYU. 41. Miami Heat Ugonna Onyenso, 6-11, Virginia senior big Onyenso has bounced from Kentucky to Kansas State to Virginia, finally finding a home in Charlottesville where he turned into one of the most feared shot-blockers in college basketball. He had 21 blocks across three ACC tournament games, including nine against Cam Boozer and Duke in the championship. He lays a brick wall around the basket, though he has heavy feet when guarding on the perimeter and is still developing his offensive skill set. 42. San Antonio Spurs Maliq Brown, 6-8, Duke senior forward Brown guards all five positions and has both the length and IQ to anchor the defense when he's on the floor. As a 6-8 senior, he was named ACC Sixth Man of the Year and won the Lefty Driesell Award as the nation's top defender. But he struggles to shoot the ball, which will make his offensive fit a difficult one. Regardless though, his defense could be that special that his team can't help but put him on the floor. 43. Brooklyn Nets Braden Smith, 5-10, Purdue senior guard Smith left Purdue as the NCAA's all-time assists leader, breaking a 33-year-old record. He's arguably the highest-IQ player in the draft who could orchestrate an offense at the college level while also providing scoring off the bounce. But the issue is the one every 5-10 guard faces: he isn't a plus athlete, and bigger guards are going to hunt him the moment he steps on an NBA floor. That's precisely why he is a projected second-rounder and will need to work his way up. 44. San Antonio Spurs Nick Martinelli, 6-7, Northwestern senior forward Martinelli is a lefty who hunts mismatches in the post, uses footwork and physicality to compensate for his average athletic profile, and plays with a fire in his belly. He arrived at Northwestern as a three-star recruit, got notably better in each season, and proceeded to become the back-to-back Big Ten scoring champion. There are no questions about his work ethic. The real concern is about whether he can adapt at the next level when he can't feast on smaller players, and when he'll be targeted on defense. But he's beaten the odds so far and will receive chances to prove he belongs in the NBA. 45. Sacramento Kings Jaden Bradley, 6-3, Arizona senior guard Bradley is a combo guard with a strong frame, a calm demeanor, and a knack for clutch moments. After arriving in college as a McDonald's All-American, he lost his starting spot as a freshman at Alabama then transferred to Arizona, where he got better every year and became the team's trusted leader. As a senior, he won Big 12 Player of the Year, Big 12 Tournament MVP, and led the Wildcats to their first Final Four since 2001. There are questions about whether he can be a lead guard at the next level, but his connective passing, improved shooting, and gritty defense all give him the potential to play big minutes. 46. Orlando Magic Emanuel Sharp, 6-3, Houston senior guard Sharp's calling card is his shooting ability. He can catch fire from 3-point range and be utilized as a weapon off screens. He plays with a high IQ even though he isn't a primary shot creator as well. On defense, he plays extremely hard to help compensate for the fact he's on the smaller side at only 6-3. 47. Phoenix Suns Ja'Kobi Gillespie, 6-0, Tennessee senior guard Gillespie spent two seasons at Belmont, transferred to Maryland for a year, then came home to Tennessee as a senior and helped lead the Volunteers to the Elite Eight. In the NBA, he projects as less of a lead guard and more of a spark plug who comes off the bench and fires jumpers and reliably runs the offense. The NBA's track record with guards his size is the obvious concern, but anyone who shoots like Gillespie and processes the game at his level deserves a real chance. 48. Dallas Mavericks Izaiyah Nelson, 6-8, South Florida senior big Nelson is a 6-8 athlete with a 7-3 wingspan who feasts on lobs, rebounds in traffic, and disrupts everywhere on defense. He sets a tone any time he's on the floor. After three years at Arkansas State, he followed his coach to USF and proceeded to put up one of the most decorated mid-major seasons in recent memory by becoming the first player in American Conference history to win Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year. Even though he lacks creation and shooting abilities, he made jaw-dropping plays at the Portsmouth Invitational, then earned an NBA Draft Combine invite, and now has a chance to go in the second round. 49. Denver Nuggets Felix Okpara, 6-10, Tennessee senior big Okpara knows his role as a player who protects the paint, runs the floor, finishes lobs, sets screens, and doesn't try to be more than that. He spent two years at Ohio State, transferred to Tennessee, and helped take the Vols to the Elite Eight as their defensive backbone. He had four blocks in the Round of 32 with clutch defense down the stretch, then a 12 and 10 double-double in the Sweet 16. 50. Toronto Raptors Bryce Hopkins, 6-6, St. John's senior forward Hopkins is a big wing who bullies smaller defenders with hard drives to the rim. But he's not a one-trick pony. He also passes with feel, rebounds, and offers highly versatility defense. He's a do-it-all player who could've been in the NBA by now if it weren't for injuries. He was a first-team All-Big East talent at Providence before a torn ACL ended one season and a bone bruise in the same knee wiped out most of the next, limiting him to 17 games over two years. He finally got a full, healthy run at St. John's, regained his explosiveness, and became a pivotal piece on a team that won the Big East title and made a tournament run. 51. Washington Wizards Tobe Awaka, 6-8, Arizona senior forward Awaka was college basketball's best rebounder and helped energize Arizona's bully-ball style over the past two years. At 6-8 with a brickhouse frame and an unrelenting style of play, he set a tone off the bench and earned Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year. The problem is everything else. He doesn't shoot. He doesn't pass. And he doesn't have a clearly defined position on defense. The team that drafts him is betting it can find enough of a defensive role to keep that elite rebounding and relentless motor on the floor. 52. Los Angeles Clippers Tyler Nickel, 6-6, Vanderbilt senior forward Nickel has a flamethrower jump shot that Vanderbilt used in a wide array of actions to consistent success all season long. The questions about him are the ones every specialist faces: Does he offer enough other than shooting? Will he survive defensively? But anyone who shoots like Nickel and stands at 6-6 will get a shot to make it in the NBA. 53. Houston Rockets Tyler Bilodeau, 6-7, UCLA senior forward Bilodeau was one of the most efficient stretch-4s in college basketball. With his 6-7 frame, he could bring real value with his size and spacing ability at the next level. But no one should mistake Bilodeau for Tyler, The Creator, since he rarely takes shots off the dribble or serves as a playmaker for teammates. He also struggles as a defender, which is truly the big question about his ability to make it in the modern NBA. 54. Golden State Warriors Milos Uzan, 6-3, Houston senior guard Uzan is a high-IQ combo guard who knits teams together with his playmaking skills and defensive hustle. Those are the translatable skills that made him a fixture in Houston's rotations for back-to-back 30-win seasons. But then there's the nagging question about what he actually offers as a primary shot creator and as a shooter. Uzan could've answered that question with a big senior season, but he didn't take the leap that scouts hoped for. 55. New York Knicks Otega Oweh, 6-4, Kentucky senior wing As a 6-4 wing with a strong frame, Oweh became one of the best slashing wings in college basketball and had one of the great games of the season with 35/8/7 against Santa Clara in the opening round of March Madness with a buzzer-beater to force overtime. At the next level, though, he doesn't project to be a primary creator because of his shaky handle and jumper, so the odds are he'll need to adapt as a role player. Fortunately, he has a ton of those skills as a cutter, connective passer, and versatile defender. 56. Chicago Bulls Trevon Brazile, 6-10, Arkansas senior big Brazile was a projected first-rounder before tearing his ACL nine games into his sophomore year at Arkansas, and the next two years were spent rebuilding the explosiveness that made him a prospect in the first place. He finally put it together as a fifth-year senior with a career year by anchoring Arkansas' defense. His long wingspan, explosive vertical, switchability, and perimeter jumper, all give him the potential to have a long NBA career. But at this point, he's already 23 and still projects only as a role player. 57. Atlanta Hawks Tobi Lawal, 6-7, Virginia Tech senior forward Lawal is a London-born forward with elite athleticism, but he didn't start playing basketball until age 16 and it shows with his underdeveloped skills. He's still figuring out his jumper and doesn't do much off the dribble. But with NBA-ready hops and a strong frame, he has the tools to be a highly versatile defender who serves as a role player on offense. 58. New Orleans Pelicans Keyshawn Hall, 6-6, Auburn senior forward Hall has been to UNLV, George Mason, UCF, and Auburn, and at every stop he just keeps scoring as a 6-6, 227-pound lefty wing by knocking down 3s and overpowering smaller defenders inside. But everywhere he's gone, his defense has been shaky and his decision-making has left a lot to be desired. After bouncing through four programs without seeing those flaws get resolved, he'll need to figure it out in the NBA. There's certainly a lot of talent worth betting on. 59. Minnesota Timberwolves Darrion Williams, NC State senior forward Williams is a broad-shouldered wing with the versatility to run point or do the dirty work as a power forward. A lack of top-end athleticism puts him in a role player bucket, but he brings winning qualities. During a stretch in which Williams was struggling to score, his college coach Will Wade said: "What'd he have? Six rebounds, four assists, zero turnovers. Everybody needs to shut the hell up about him. He's a damn good player and the shot's going to fall." 60. Washington Wizards Aaron Nkrumah, 6-5, Tennessee State senior wing Nkrumah is a 6-5 wing with a 6-10 wingspan and has the motor to cause havoc on defense. His jumper is still developing, but it was quite a journey to even get to this point. He started his college career at Division III Nichols College, transferred to Division III Worcester State and won MASCAC Player of the Year, then jumped to Tennessee State and became the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year while leading the Tigers to the NCAA tournament as a 15-seed. He got a late invite to the G League Combine, dropped 33 points across two scrimmages to earn a call-up to the NBA Combine, and kept producing once he got there. He still needs to add muscle and tighten up his jumper, but nothing has stopped him yet.

Savona – Vado torna in vetta ai porti container italiani secondo la World Bank
📰 ShippingItaly Media 📅 2026-06-11 📍 La Spezia it
Lo scalo (in assenza di Gioia Tauro) risulta il più performante, mentre restano in fondo alla lista big come Trieste, La Spezia e Genova L'articolo Savona – Vado torna in vetta ai porti container italiani secondo la World Bank proviene da Shipping Italy .
Superato l’anno prima da Gioia Tauro, nel 2025 Vado Ligure torna a conquistare il primato di ‘porto container italiano più performante’, ovvero quello in cui, in estrema sintesi, in media intercorre meno tempo tra l’ingresso di una nave e la sua fuoriuscita al termine della lavorazione. A dirlo è come sempre il report The Container Port Performance Index 2025, appena pubblicato e realizzato dalla Banca Mondiale su dati forniti da S&P Global Market Intelligence. Grazie anche alla indisponibilità, in questa edizione, dei dati relativi allo scalo calabrese (che quindi risulta ‘non classificato’), il porto ligure – che nel 2025 ha gestito traffici per circa 590mila Teu – conquista la vetta italiana collocandosi al 51esimo posto della lista globale (lo scorso anno Gioia Tauro aveva ottenuto il 49esimo). Da ricordare in premessa che, come chiarisce la stessa World Bank, il Cppi si propone di misurare le performance dei porti container basandosi sul solo tempo di permanenza delle navi, utilizzando quindi un parametro ‘oggettivo’ che però cattura gli effetti combinati di diversi fattori, dalla accessibilità nautica di uno scalo alla disponibilità di ormeggio, dall’efficienza di handling e operazioni portuali al livello di coordinamento con altri stakeholder fino al livello dell’interfacciamento con hinterland e retroporto. Interessante quindi evidenziare anche uno degli altri valori registrati dalla Banca Mondiale nel suo report, ovvero quello relativo al tempo di permanenza di una nave in banchina. Nel caso di Savona–Vado, scalo ad alto tasso di automazione grazie in particolare al terminal Vado Gateway – questo nel 2025 è stato pari al 76% di quello trascorso complessivamente nel porto (nel 2024 era il 56%). Passando alla disamina delle posizioni degli altri scali italiani, non si può che rilevare che anche questa volta la Banca Mondiale non è stata troppo benevola con loro, posizionando in fondo alla classifica in particolare alcuni di quelli con le maggiori movimentazioni in termini di Teu. Scendendo innanzitutto al 199esimo posto della classifica mondiale si ritrova il secondo scalo italiano, ovvero quello di Pozzallo, dai volumi annui decisamente modesti (11.119 Teu nel 2025) e in cui il tempo in banchina equivale al 58% del totale. Poco sotto si colloca Ravenna (203esima, 77%), quindi Ancona (230esima, 54%) e Bari (252esima, 83%). Il sesto posto ‘italiano’ è quindi di Napoli (278esima, 63%), cui seguono Salerno (289esima, 66%), Augusta (312esima, 80%), Venezia (319esima, 71%) e Livorno (344esimo, 75%). In undicesima posizione si trova quindi Trieste (382esima della classifica globale, ore in banchina corrispondenti al 72% di quelle complessivamente trascorse in un porto), mentre sono i due porti di La Spezia e Genova, che nel 2025 hanno gestito rispettivamente 1,17 e e 2,4 milioni di Teu a chiudere la classifica. Nel dettaglio il primo si ferma alla posizione 386 della classifica globale (con tempo in banchina pari al 60% delle ore in porto) e il secondo finisce al 392esimo posto (62%). Dall’elenco, come detto, risultano mancanti in queste edizione dati sulle performance di Gioia Tauro, così come di altri porti dalle movimentazioni container significative come quelli di Palermo, Cagliari o Civitavecchia. Allargando infine lo sguardo a livello globale, la top ten risulta ancora una volta dominata dagli scali cinesi salvo qualche incursione esterna, perlopiù mediorientale. Al primo posto compare infatti Fuzhou, seguita da Dalian e quindi dall’omanita Salalah. I posti seguenti sono occupati da Mawan, Chiwan, Tanger Med, Ningbo, Hamad, Hong Kong, mentre chiude la lista quello giapponese di Kobe. Il primo porto europeo a fare capolino è quello di Algeciras, 12esimo. Nel complesso, per il 2025 il report spiega di avere rilevato un “leggero deterioramento” dell’indice Cppi globale rispetto al 2024, a indicare un aumento del tempo medio di permanenza delle navi in porto, frutto però di dinamiche regionali differenti. In linea generale gli scali di paesi con economie ad alto e medio-alto reddito hanno mantenuto tempi medi di sosta più contenuti, grazie a infrastrutture più sviluppate, maggiore disponibilità di gru, digitalizzazione e migliore coordinazione tra operatori. Diversi scali di paesi a reddito medio-alto, in particolare di Asia orientale e meridionale, hanno peraltro nuovamente superato nelle prestazioni molti porti di paesi ad alto reddito, grazie a un maggior orientamento all’export, alla concorrenza tra porti e ai continui investimenti. Gli scali europei e nordamericani in media nel 2025 hanno mostrato un recupero anche se alcuni risentono ancora di congestione, carenza di manodopera e criticità nei collegamenti terrestri. Per ultimo, i porti dell’Africa subsahariana secondo il report hanno generalmente registrato tempi di permanenza più lunghi, per via di strutture fortemente orientate alle importazioni, dei limiti di capacità e della scarsa concorrenza, mentre il Medio Oriente ha subito un peggioramento delle performance a seguito delle interruzioni dei servizi marittimi legate alla crisi del Mar Rosso, “dimostrando come anche i porti meglio attrezzati possano essere vulnerabili agli shock geopolitici”. Tirando qualche conclusione, l’analisi della Banca Mondiale ha infine evidenziato come solitamente le migliori performance portuali sono associate alla capacità degli scali di minimizzare il time absorption, ovvero il tempo extra trascorso da una nave in porto oltre il fabbisogno operativo minimo. I porti più performanti, insomma, sono quelli che riescono a limitare i tempi di attesa improduttivi e a mantenere elevata la quota di tempo trascorsa dalle navi in attività operative effettive all’ormeggio. In secondo luogo, l’analisi ha evidenziato che la resilienza conta quanto l’efficienza durante i picchi. In altre parole i porti che ottengono risultati costantemente elevati sono quelli che riescono a mantenere disciplina operativa e continuità di servizio anche in presenza di elevata volatilità. Un fattore chiave è considerato quello di una governance efficace e di un buon coordinamento tra attori, quali autorità pubbliche, terminal operator e fornitori di servizi. “Quadri regolatori prevedibili, concessioni trasparenti e una condivisione efficiente dei dati riducono le inefficienze e consentono una risposta più flessibile agli shock”. Per ultimo l’analisi evidenzia l’importanza della digitalizzazione per supportare efficienza e resilienza, e quindi per passare da una gestione reattiva a una anticipatoria, “aspetto cruciale in presenza di modelli di arrivo delle navi sempre più volatili”.

Psa in cerca di maggiore flessibilità e produttività a Pra’, lavoratori al voto
📰 ShippingItaly Media 📅 2026-06-11 📍 La Spezia it
L'azienda lamenta un calo di efficienza (e la ridotta capacità d'avviamento della Culmv) e con la Rsu definisce un accordo di revisione delle modalità operative L'articolo Psa in cerca di maggiore flessibilità e produttività a Pra’, lavoratori al voto proviene da Shipping Italy .
L’azienda lamenta un calo di efficienza (e la ridotta capacità d’avviamento della Culmv) e con la Rsu definisce un accordo di revisione delle modalità operative La delicatezza del passaggio traspare chiaramente da alcuni dettagli: non solo sull’accordo abbozzato da Psa Genova Pra’ e Rsu entrambi i fronti hanno le bocche cucite, ma l’assemblea dei lavoratori che stamane avrebbe dovuto votarlo ad alzata di mano ha preferito invece procedere nei prossimi giorni a un voto per scheda, che terminerà solo lunedì, in modo da garantire la maggior possibilità di voto al più ampio numero possibile dei circa 700 dipendenti. Del resto, la bozza che SHIPPING ITALY ha potuto consultare consta di 5 fittissime pagine di minuziose revisioni agli esistenti accordi fra il più grande terminal container gateway d’Italia e le rappresentanze sindacali in termini di organizzazione del lavoro e modalità operative, con l’esplicitata “necessità di un tempestivo recupero della capacità produttiva e degli standard di servizio”. Il fil rouge è un ampliamento della possibilità dell’azienda di richiedere flessibilità ai lavoratori, definendo, in primis, una maggiore differenziazione fra lavoratori per anagrafe, nella convinzione delle due parti che gli “strumenti volti a migliorare la conciliazione vita-lavoro del personale operativo”, introdotti dal 2013 e “pienamente coerenti con un contesto storico caratterizzato da maggiore stabilità organizzativa”, mantengano “la loro validità per il personale con maggiore anzianità di servizio”, risultando però “allo stato attuale parzialmente incompatibili con le esigenze di flessibilità richieste dall’attuale scenario operativo”. Insomma, per gli assunti più freschi – i criteri sono l’assunzione dal 2025 e “quota 39” (età più anzianità aziendale) – le richieste di flessibilità aumenteranno, a fronte di un articolatissimo sistema di incentivi di varia natura, che, ad alcune condizioni, potrà essere esteso su base volontaria anche agli altri lavoratori. Verrà inoltre introdotta, per i più esperti, una nuova figura professionale denominata “stivatore provetto” e verrà ulteriormente dettagliato l’accordo di novembre 2023 sulla rotazione dei gruisti, anche in questo caso differenziando gli elementi retributivi specifici sulla base di un criterio anagrafico-esperenziale, oltre a prevedere una serie di misure che toccheranno non solo gli operai ma anche il resto del personale (manutenzione, impiegati, etc.). Nel silenzio delle parti, le motivazioni di un accordo che i pochi bisbigli raccolti definiscono “epocale” possono ricercarsi fra le premesse della bozza. Vi si legge che dal febbraio 2025 Psa Pra’ ha registrato “un progressivo rallentamento dei livelli di produttività”. La prova sarebbe “una riduzione della capacità complessiva di servizio e, conseguentemente, una minore attrattività nei confronti di nuovi volumi e servizi marittimi”, che ha portato “nel corso del 2025 e in parte del 2026, all’impossibilità di garantire adeguati standard operativi su alcuni traffici, determinando la necessità di rinunciare ad almeno due servizi in ragione della non sufficiente capacità produttiva del terminal e della difficoltà nel garantire un corretto dimensionamento delle squadre operative”. Il traffico sarebbe cioè diminuito in ragione di un calo della produttività, anche se non si citano numeri (il terminal chiuse il 2025 a -2,8%, per 1,36 milioni di Teu) né, pur menzionando “primi segnali di recupero della produttività” registrati a aprile e maggio (dopo che a marzo il primo trimestre 2026 s’era chiuso al +2,2% con oltre 336mila Teu movimentati), si accenna a dinamiche macroeconomiche di domanda (i restanti terminal container genovesi hanno chiuso il 2025 a -2,7% complessivo e La Spezia a -1,7%). Si elencano poi i fattori a cui sarebbe riconducibile il “rallentamento” della produttività. Fra essi “l’evoluzione dei traffici marittimi con progressivo incremento della dimensione delle navi e conseguente concentrazione dei volumi; la crescente capacità delle compagnie di rispettare le berthing window, con conseguente intensificazione dei picchi operativi e con i vincoli che il rispetto della berthing window contrattuale comportano per il terminal; l’accentuazione delle dinamiche di picchi e flessi, che richiedono un sempre maggiore grado di flessibilità operativa”. A ciò poi si sarebbe affiancata “una ridotta capacità di avviamento e piena operatività del personale della Cu (Culmv, il fornitore di manodopera temporanea dello scalo, ndr), con particolare riferimento ai ruoli ad elevata specializzazione (high skill), che ha generato significative difficoltà nella copertura dei turni, soprattutto nei periodi estivi”. Per far fronte a tutto ciò, Psa ha da tempo avviato un “piano di rafforzamento dell’organico, finalizzato al ripristino del dimensionamento delle squadre operative previsto in 360 addetti” che dovrebbe completarsi a inizio 2027, ha stretto accordi preliminari a inizio 2026 coi lavoratori per “l’incentivazione della presenza nelle giornate del sabato e durante il periodo delle ferie estive”, e ha cominciato a introdurre “uno strumento di ricambio generazionale, sistema di prepensionamento volontario, che superi il vecchio accordo del 2016, finalizzato a favorire l’uscita anticipata del personale con maggiore anzianità e il ringiovanimento dell’organico”. Ma la chiave, come detto, è la definizione di un “sistema di regole che, nel rispetto dei diritti acquisiti, consenta di applicare con maggiore flessibilità tali strumenti, in particolare nei confronti del personale assunto a partire dal 2025 e fino al raggiungimento di coefficiente 39”. L’accordo redatto con le Rsu lo costruisce, ora rimane solo da capire quanti lavoratori lo approveranno.

📰 Offshore Energy Media 📅 2026-06-11 📍 Santos en
Brazilian state-owned energy heavyweight Petrobras has initiated a revenue stream with the first oil offloading from its eighth floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, which is working at a field in the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil. The post Hanwha Ocean-built FPSO’s oil offloading opens revenue flows for Petrobras appeared first on Offshore Energy .
Brazilian state-owned energy heavyweight Petrobras has initiated a revenue stream with the first oil offloading from its eighth floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, which is working at a field in the Santos Basin off the coast of Brazil. Following itsdeparturefrom Hanwha Ocean’s South Korean shipyard in Geoje in November 2025, theFPSO P-79reachedthe pre-salt Santos Basin in February 2026, when it was towed to its location at Petrobras’Búzios field, whereit produced first oil on May 1 and completed its first offloading on May 30, 2026. The completion of the FPSO’s first oil offloading is described by Hanwha Ocean as a milestone that demonstrates the firm’s successful construction of a high-quality FPSO, for which the company carried out the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the hull and topside segments. The Asian player emphasizes that the oil offloading achievement also marks the beginning of revenue generation for Petrobras. The P-79 is designed to produce approximately 180,000 barrels of oil per day and has a gas compression capacity of 7.2 million cubic meters per day. This FPSO is expected to contribute to increasing the total production capacity of the Búzios field, which is deemed to be one of the world’s largest deepwater oil fields, to around 1.33 million barrels per day. The FPSO P-79 is the eighth of the 12 units planned for installation at the Brazilian field, joining the seven vessels already in operation, including:P-74,P-75,P-76,P-77,Almirante Barroso,Almirante Tamandaré, andP-78.

Sembra di stare ai Tropici ma è un’isola italiana: le 15 spiagge dal mare più cristallino per l’estate 2026
📰 Thewom.it 📅 2026-06-11 📍 Porto Torres it Salute · ambiente

A cque trasparenti, sabbia chiara, scogliere a picco sul mare e calette raggiungibili solo via mare o attraverso sentieri panoramici. La Sardegna è una delle poche regioni dove ogni tratto di costa offre paesaggi diversi e dove basta spostarsi di qualche chilometro per ritrovarsi in uno scenario completamente nuovo. Da nord a sud, ecco le spiagge più belle da inserire in un viaggio estivo sull'isola. Preferisci ascoltare il riassunto audio? Nell'articolo Come organizzare un viaggio mare in Sardegna nel 2026 Sardegna Per esplorare le spiagge più belle della Sardegna serve una base logistica chiara. Gli aeroporti principali sono Cagliari a Sud, Olbia a Nord-Est e Alghero a Nord-Ovest: da qui si raggiungono facilmente Costa Smeralda, Golfo di Orosei, Costa Rei, Chia e Costa Verde. I porti più usati sono Olbia, Golfo Aranci, Porto Torres (Nord) e Cagliari (Sud), ideali se si viaggia con auto al seguito, indispensabile per muoversi tra baie isolate e spiagge attrezzate. Il periodo migliore per godersi mare trasparente e meno folla va indicativamente da maggio a giugno e da settembre a ottobre: la luce è più morbida, le temperature permettono anche trekking costieri come quello per Cala Goloritzé o Cala Coticcio e l’accesso alle spiagge contingentate è meno stressante. Luglio e agosto restano i mesi con più servizi attivi, ma anche con più restrizioni, prenotazioni obbligatorie e spiagge piene fin dalla mattina. Un soggiorno di una settimana permette un assaggio equilibrato di Nord o Sud; con 10-14 giorni si può pensare a un vero “coast tour” che includa anche escursioni nell’interno: Supramonte, paesi ogliastrini, siti nuragici come Su Nuraxi. Nord della Sardegna Nel Nord della Sardegna l’acqua assume tonalità quasi irreali. È l’area giusta per chi cerca sabbie chiarissime, fondali bassi e panorami sulle isole. La Spiaggia del Principe, in Costa Smeralda, si apre come una mezzaluna chiara tra rocce di granito rosa e vegetazione bassa. Una breve passeggiata dal parcheggio conduce a una baia doppia, divisa da scogli affioranti. Qui lo snorkeling regala fondali popolati da piccoli pesci tra massi arrotondati, con acqua color smeraldo che cambia sfumatura a ogni nuvola. A San Teodoro, Cala Brandinchi è uno dei nomi che ricorrono spesso quando si parla di mare “da tropici”: sabbia soffice, fondali bassi per decine di metri, pineta alle spalle che profuma di resina nelle ore più calde. Fa parte dell’area marina protetta di Tavolara e, nelle giornate limpide, l’isola si staglia davanti come una parete di roccia bianca. In alta stagione l’accesso può essere regolamentato e la spiaggia è molto frequentata; meglio puntare alle prime ore del mattino o alle settimane di spalla. Spostandosi a Nord-Ovest, La Pelosa a Stintino ha fatto il giro del mondo sui social: sabbia quasi bianca, acqua bassa e calma, una torre aragonese su un isolotto a pochi metri dalla riva. Per tutelare questo ambiente delicato, l’accesso in estate è contingentato, con prenotazione e numero chiuso, e si possono usare solo teli appoggiati su stuoie per proteggere la sabbia. Dal punto di vista fotografico, alcuni dei colpi d’occhio migliori si hanno già dalla strada panoramica che scende verso la spiaggia. Spiaggia Rosa Chi sogna l’Arcipelago della Maddalena ha due nomi da segnare. La Spiaggia Rosa di Budelli, oggi tutelata rigidamente, non è accessibile a piedi: la sabbia, resa rosata da minuscoli frammenti di conchiglie e coralli, si osserva da un belvedere dedicato o dal mare con tour in barca autorizzati. È una visita contemplativa, da abbinare a bagni e soste nelle spiagge vicine dove invece è possibile entrare in acqua. Poi c’è Cala Coticcio, sull’isola di Caprera, spesso soprannominata “Tahiti” per la combinazione di rocce rosa, macchia mediterranea e piscina naturale verde-azzurra. La cala è suddivisa in due piccole insenature collegate da scogli affioranti, perfette per chi ama maschera e pinne. L’accesso via terra è regolamentato e in estate si visita solo con guide ambientali, tramite un sentiero che richiede scarpe da trekking e un po’ di allenamento; in alternativa si arriva con le barche che girano l’arcipelago. Più a Nord, verso Santa Teresa di Gallura, Rena Bianca è la classica “spiaggia cittadina” che non rinuncia a un mare chiaro: sabbia chiarissima, stabilimenti e bar a pochi metri, possibilità di fare un bagno e in pochi minuti tornare nel centro del paese per un pranzo o un gelato. Dalla zona della Torre di Longonsardo lo sguardo spazia sullo stretto di Bocche di Bonifacio e, nelle giornate terse, sulle falesie bianche della Corsica. Cala Mariolu Il Golfo di Orosei è il lato più selvaggio della costa orientale sarda, con pareti calcaree che scendono a picco e spiagge minuscole, spesso raggiungibili solo dal mare o con sentieri impegnativi. Cala Mariolu è una delle più iconiche: un anfiteatro di roccia chiara che racchiude un arenile di minuscoli ciottoli bianchi, simili a schegge di marmo. L’acqua passa dal turchese chiarissimo al blu intenso in pochi metri, ed è ricca di vita marina, perfetta per chi ama nuotare con la maschera. Si arriva in genere con le barche che partono da Cala Gonone, Arbatax o Santa Maria Navarrese; la spiaggia è in gran parte libera e non offre molta ombra, quindi servono cappello, crema solare e scorte d’acqua. Più a Sud, Cala Goloritzé richiede impegno fisico ma ripaga con un paesaggio quasi lunare: una guglia calcarea acuminata (Monte Caroddi) che sovrasta la spiaggia, un arco naturale sul lato della baia e ciottoli bianchi che fanno risaltare l’azzurro intenso del mare. L’accesso via terra parte dall’altopiano del Golgo e prevede un’escursione di circa un’ora e mezza in discesa all’andata (e salita al ritorno), con prenotazione e ticket di ingresso; in barca si può solo ancorare a distanza dalla riva, nel rispetto delle norme del parco. Cala Luna, spartita tra i comuni di Dorgali e Baunei, è diversa da tutte: una lingua di sabbia dorata, più grossa, chiusa da grotte profonde che diventano riparo naturale nelle ore più calde. Alle spalle, la valle di Codula di Luna, in estate costellata di oleandri. Si raggiunge con barche da Cala Gonone e Santa Maria Navarrese oppure tramite un sentiero costiero per escursionisti preparati. Dietro la spiaggia, in stagione, sono presenti un bar e un piccolo ristorante. Nelle vicinanze si trovano anche le Grotte del Bue Marino, visitabili con escursioni dedicate. Is Arutas Spostandosi sul versante occidentale della Sardegna, la Penisola del Sinis, vicino a Cabras, cambia completamente scenario. Is Arutas è famosa per la sua sabbia fatta di granelli di quarzo, piccoli come chicchi di riso, dalle sfumature rosa, bianche e verdi: camminandoci sopra, si sente una consistenza diversa, quasi granulare ma non tagliente. L’acqua qui tende al verde smeraldo, il vento può sollevarsi rapidamente e creare condizioni perfette per surf e sport da onda. La spiaggia è inserita in un’area marina protetta: è vietato raccogliere o portare via i granelli di quarzo, un comportamento che viene controllato con attenzione. A breve distanza sorge Tharros, antica città punica e poi romana, utile per alternare giornate di mare a visite archeologiche con vista sulle baie della zona. L’intera Penisola del Sinis è una scelta adatta a chi cerca natura poco costruita e un ritmo di vacanza più tranquillo rispetto alle località glamour del Nord-Est. Sud Sardegna: dune, fenicotteri e spiagge chilometriche Il Sud della Sardegna è un susseguirsi di dune, lagune e baie sabbiose che si affacciano su un mare aperto ma spesso con fondali bassi, perfetti anche per chi viaggia con bambini. Su Giudeu Nella zona di Chia, Su Giudeu è una lunga distesa dorata, con dune alte ricoperte di ginepri e una laguna alle spalle dove, con un po’ di pazienza e un binocolo, si possono scorgere fenicotteri rosa. Davanti alla spiaggia si trova un isolotto roccioso che, in base alla marea e al livello dell’acqua, si può raggiungere con una breve camminata in mare, arrampicandosi poi fino alla sommità per una vista completa sulla baia. Qui coesistono tratti liberi e stabilimenti attrezzati, e molte scuole di sport acquatici. Procedendo lungo la strada panoramica costiera verso Ovest, la spiaggia di Tuerredda, nel territorio di Teulada, ha sabbia chiara, sottile, e una baia chiusa da colline verdi. Di fronte, l’isolotto di Tuerredda sembra quasi un prolungamento della spiaggia: chi è un buon nuotatore può raggiungerlo in acqua calma per osservare la costa da un altro punto di vista. Per preservare l’area, l’accesso estivo è spesso controllato e su prenotazione, con un numero massimo di presenze giornaliere. Anche qui sono presenti stabilimenti con ristorazione e servizi. Spostandosi verso Sud-Est, nel territorio di Villasimius, Porto Giunco è famosa per l’effetto “doppio mare”: da un lato il mare aperto con sabbia chiara, dall’altro la laguna di Notteri, spesso frequentata dai fenicotteri. Una passeggiata sulla striscia di sabbia permette di osservare contemporaneamente i riflessi azzurri dell’acqua marina e le tonalità più lattiginose dello stagno. Salendo fino alla Torre di Porto Giunco, una torre costiera d’epoca aragonese, lo sguardo abbraccia tutta la costa fino a Capo Carbonara. Cala Sinzias Più a Nord, lungo la costa di Castiadas e Costa Rei, Cala Sinzias si stende per quasi due chilometri di sabbia dorata. La larghezza dell’arenile e la lunghezza della baia fanno sì che, anche nelle ore centrali, sia quasi sempre possibile trovare zone più tranquille lontane dagli accessi principali. Alle spalle della spiaggia crescono pini ed eucalipti, che nelle giornate calde riempiono l’aria di un profumo resinoso. L’acqua è chiara e generalmente calma, con fondale sabbioso per diversi metri dalla riva. Chi punta a paesaggi più estremi deve guardare al Sud-Ovest, alla Costa Verde. Qui, la spiaggia di Piscinas è conosciuta per le sue dune tra le più alte d’Europa: onde di sabbia che si allungano verso l’entroterra per chilometri, modellate dal vento. L’arenile è ampio, affacciato su un mare aperto che attrae spesso surfisti e amanti delle onde. Nelle vicinanze affiorano strutture minerarie abbandonate, resti della storia industriale della zona, che conferiscono a questo tratto di costa un’atmosfera quasi desertica. Presso il principale accesso al mare si trovano comunque alcune strutture ricettive e punti di ristoro. Tra mare, storia e cucina: consigli pratici per vivere la Sardegna oltre la spiaggia Nuraghi Una vacanza dedicata alle spiagge della Sardegna funziona ancora meglio se alternata a esperienze culturali e gastronomiche. L’isola è costellata di nuraghi, tombe dei giganti e villaggi antichi: il complesso di Su Nuraxi di Barumini, nell’interno del Sud, è il sito archeologico nuragico più famoso e racconta una civiltà che ha modellato il paesaggio con torri di pietra ben prima dei romani. Nei paesi dell’interno, soprattutto tra Nuoro e Ogliastra, resistono tradizioni ancora molto vive: costumi ricamati, canti a tenore, feste patronali che animano le piazze nei mesi estivi. Una giornata lontano dalla costa permette di entrare in contatto con un lato diverso dell’isola e di scoprire una cucina più robusta, fatta di pane carasau, formaggi ovini, maialetto arrosto, culurgiones e dolci a base di mandorle e miele. Sulla costa il pescato diventa protagonista: aragoste, bottarga di muggine di Cabras, fregola ai frutti di mare, zuppe di pesce. In molte località, i ristoranti propongono piatti legati alla tradizione ma reinterpretati in chiave contemporanea: un buon modo per concludere le giornate di mare è sedersi nei centri storici di Alghero, Cagliari, Olbia, La Maddalena o Villasimius e osservare il via vai mentre tramonta il sole. Per chi desidera muoversi senza stress tra calette raggiungibili solo dal mare, nel 2026 continueranno a essere centrali le escursioni in barca: nel Nord per La Maddalena, Budelli, Caprera e l’Asinara; a Est per le calette del Golfo di Orosei; a Sud per i dintorni di Villasimius e l’area di Capo Spartivento. Prenotare in anticipo, soprattutto in alta stagione, è essenziale per trovare posto negli orari meno affollati.

Serica’s North Sea expansion boost: Acquisition wrap-up ensures oil & gas portfolio growth
📰 Offshore Energy Media 📅 2026-06-11 en
UK-based upstream oil and gas player Serica Energy has enhanced its long-term resource outlook by bringing to a close the acquisition of previously disclosed assets from the Netherlands-based exploration and production player ONE-Dyas. The post Serica’s North Sea expansion boost: Acquisition wrap-up ensures oil & gas portfolio growth appeared first on Offshore Energy .
UK-based upstream oil and gas player Serica Energy has enhanced its long-term resource outlook by bringing to a close the acquisition of previously disclosed assets from the Netherlands-headquartered exploration and production player ONE-Dyas. Serica revealed theacquisitionof ONE-Dyas’ 10% non-operated working interest in the Harbour Energy-operatedCatcher fieldand a 5.21% interest in the CNOOC-operatedGolden Eagle Area Development (GEAD)fields in the Central North Sea in September 2025. The deal was estimated to be worth $6.75 million. While confirming the completion of this acquisition, the UK player emphasizes that the addition further diversifies its producing portfolio, with current net production of around 2,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), and adds combined net 2P reserves of 3 million boe and 2C resources of 0.5 million boe as at December 31, 2025. The company has settled the consideration of $6.75 million and received a payment of $13 million, reflecting interim post-tax cashflows between the economic date of January 1, 2024, and the date of completion. In addition, Serica will receive around 85,000 barrels of oil equivalent in respect of an underlift position, with the associated cash proceeds of approximately $8 million to be received in Q3. This acquisition comes shortly after the UK firmbrought into its foldan interest in West of Shetland gas fields and assets from TotalEnergies, further enlarging its footprint on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).

Endurance Energy raises $54M to harness a massive untapped energy source | TechCrunchtechcrunch.com
After you’ve worked on rockets that find their way to outer space, it can be hard to come up with a second act. For SpaceX alumni Andrew Redd, it meant looking deep in the ocean. Redd, who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, a region affected by uncharacteristic heat waves and catastrophic fires in recent years, knew he wanted to tackle something in renewable energy. “But the experience at a very hardcore company like SpaceX made me realize that I can’t just come up with an incremental solution. It actually has to be brand new and it has to be approached from first principles,” according to Redd, who was an engineer on Dragon and Starship at SpaceX. Redd left SpaceX and foundedEndurance Energy, a startup that has raised a $54 million Series A to eventually harness terawatts of geothermal energy deep in the ocean, TechCrunch has learned. Founders Fund led the round, with participation from Ascend, Construct Capital, Felicis Ventures, First Round Capital, Point72 Ventures, Riot Ventures, and Voyager Ventures. The new funding will allow the company to develop its plans for power plants at a time of surging energy demand from AI data centers, electric vehicles, and heavy industry. Since founding the company last year, Redd has grown the team to 25 employees, 12 of whom used to work at SpaceX. The company’s vice president of engineering previously worked at Helion Energy, the fusion startup. Geothermal energy isn’t a new idea — humans have been using the Earth’s heat for millennia, whether it be from spa-like hot springs or geothermal power plants. But Redd, drawing on his experience at SpaceX, figured there was another opportunity people were overlooking. Here’s how he distilled the problem: Any future energy source should be renewable, or at least non-polluting, in his opinion. “That’s my non-negotiable,” said Redd, who is CEO of Endurance. It should also be available 24/7 — or baseload power, as the industry calls it — and it should be quickly deployable and able to generate tens or hundreds of gigawatts of electricity, according to Redd. He quickly ruled out nuclear power because regulatory and construction timelines can stretch on for years. Solar and wind aren’t available 24/7 without batteries, and hydropower is limited in where it can be built (plus all the good spots have been taken). That left geothermal. “Geothermal is the only real deployable, baseload renewable,” he said. “But why is it only 0.4% of U.S. energy?” There are other startups pursuing geothermal, including Fervo and Zanskar. But those companies need to drill thousands of feet into the Earth’s crust to access temperatures hot enough to drive a power plant. So far, the best opportunities for many geothermal startups has been in the Western U.S., far from large population centers. The best places to drill, where the crust is thin and magma flows close to the surface, like in Iceland or California, have long been claimed. More recently, startups likeFervo Energy,XGS Energy, andSage Geosystemshave found other sites, but to find rocks that are hot enough to drive a power plant, they need to drill thousands of feed deeper. Those locations have so far been away from large population centers. But no one has tapped the oceans. At several points around the globe, the Earth’s tectonic plates are spreading apart, allowing hot magma to flow to the surface. The U.S. West Coast, Japan, and a good chunk of Southeast Asia are near the so-called Ring of Fire, the geologically active zone that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Heading out to sea poses several challenges. Operating underwater, at the depths Endurance is proposing, isn’t easy. Robots will need to do much of the work. Saltwater is famously corrosive, so anything placed down there will have to be hardened against both water pressure and corrosion. But Redd said those are surmountable hurdles, pointing to the oil and gas industry’s decades of experience drilling in the ocean. Endurance’s work should pose less risk to the surrounding ocean, he points out. “If we have a blowout — quote unquote — you’re leaking hot water into the ocean, which is already leaking out in terawatts all over the Earth,” Redd said. Some of the geothermal resources Endurance is eyeing are a few dozen miles from shore, while others are a few hundred. Which get developed will be the product of an optimization algorithm that balances the cost of the submarine cable with the scale of the resource and the size of the market on shore. (Redd says the company plans to avoid sensitive habitats like those near hydrothermal vents.) If Endurance taps just a fraction of the geothermal potential out there, it could generate a significant amount of electricity. Redd estimates there’s about 6 terawatts that could be developed in the next five to 10 years around the Ring of Fire. To put that in perspective, the world uses an average ofabout 20 terawattsacross all energy sources at any given moment. “The idea is that you could support any major coastal city on the Ring of Fire,” Redd said.

Fuel Cell Market Size, Share and Analysis Fuel Cell Market Size, Share and Analysis
Delray Beach, FL, June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The globalFuel Cell Industrysize is projected to reach USD 18.16 billion by 2030 from USD 5.66 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 26.3% during the forecasted period, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™.The industry growth trajectory driven by the increasing trend of switching to low-emission and sustainable energy solutions for transportation, power generation, and industrial uses. The current supportive broader political environment, decarbonization targets, and hydrogen infrastructure are enabling expansion in the level of adoption. Fuel cell technology is advancing, leading to improved efficiencies, the development of new materials, and reduced costs. This progress will allow it to expand beyond industrialized nations into other regions. As demand rises, major organizations are increasing their global presence through manufacturing, partnerships, and more comprehensive service options. Fuel cell infrastructure development activity is ongoing both regionally and globally due to strong government support, funding programs, and collaborative public–private ventures across key regions, as well as policies and incentives with similar objectives around decarbonization, the use of hydrogen, and clean energy resources. Collectively, these factors are driving a continuous growth trajectory for the fuel cell market and embedding fuel cell technologies as key enablers of a global energy transition to achieve net-zero and clean power objectives worldwide. Fuel Cell Industry Size & Forecast: Download PDF Brochure @https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=348 The Fuel Cell Industry is expanding due to increased global fuel cell installations. Additionally, the renewed effort toward rapid decarbonization suggests that fuel cells are the foundation of a systematic, low-emission energy solution. Overall, the investment increase in manufacturing facilities and supply-chain networks has allowed the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific to become key players for fuel cell manufacturing and hydrogen transport. The geopolitical landscape favors hydrogen technologies due to energy independence and the call for diversification, leading to energy security. The US Inflation Reduction Act and Europe’s Hydrogen Strategy are two examples of policies pushing toward rapid deployment and displacing fossil fuel power sources. All of these factors are accelerating the development and deployment of fuel cell systems as key components of resilient, clean energy portfolios worldwide. Based on Component A fuel cell stack is the core component of a fuel cell system, where electrochemical reactions occur to generate electricity. It is composed of several critical parts that work in unison to ensure efficient performance. The most fundamental elements of the stack are the individual cells, which consist of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte membrane. Each cell generates a small amount of voltage, and multiple cells are stacked together to achieve the desired power output. Interconnects are placed between the cells to electrically connect them in series while also distributing fuel and oxidant gases evenly. Thesmall-scale Fuel Cell Market (up to 200 kW)continues to dominate, by size, driven by a growing demand for flexible and decentralized clean energy solutions. This segment has gained significant momentum through various applications, including stationary, portable, and mobility uses. In 2023, many small-sized systems were installed worldwide, particularly in residential, backup power, and light-commercial applications across the Asia Pacific region, Europe, and North America. These systems are characterized by their ability to generate energy on-site, reducing dependence on grid power and producing lower emissions. This makes them particularly attractive for urban, remote, or off-grid environments. The small-scale segment is experiencing remarkable growth due to key features such as modularity, ease of integration, and the ability to meet specific energy demands. Advancements in technology, including hybrid integration with renewables, smart controls, and cloud diagnostics systems, enhance these energy systems' operational efficiency and reliability. Unique advantages such as flexibility, scalability, and competitive costs position these electricity generators as key components of distributed energy strategies and broader decarbonization efforts.

The Strait of Malacca and Singapore Strait grow so shallow in places that fully laden supertankers carrying a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil are required to keep at least three and a half metres of water beneath their keels — about the height of a one-storey room — and squat and swell can quietly shave even that

The Strait of Malacca and Singapore Strait carry roughly a quarter of global oil shipments through a channel so shallow that fully laden supertankers pass with only a metre or two of water beneath their keels — a clearance thinner than a kitchen countertop. T…
A Suezmax tanker loaded with crude, sliding through the Phillips Channel south of Singapore at around eight knots, displaces close to 150,000 tonnes of water. The channel’s navigable depth is limited, and the largest Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) that pass through here operate with minimal under-keel clearance when fully laden. The Strait of Malacca and the Singapore Strait, the two-stage maritime corridor that links the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea, carries roughlya quarter of all seaborne oiland a third of global trade. And it does so over a seabed that, in stretches, the largest ships clear by only a few metres. This is not an engineering quirk. It is the central physical fact of the busiest shipping lane on Earth. The strait narrows in stages as a ship moves east from the Andaman Sea. North of Sumatra it is broad and forgiving, more than 200 nautical miles across. By the time a vessel reaches the One Fathom Bank off Port Klang, the navigable width has collapsed to a few miles of dredged water flanked by shoals. By the Phillips Channel, just southwest of Singapore, the usable shipping lane is narrow and the controlling depth limited at chart datum. A fully laden VLCC has substantial draft requirements, and the arithmetic is tight. The rules governing the straits require deep-draught vessels and the largest tankers to keepat least three and a half metres of clearancebeneath the keel at all times. Pilots time transits to high tide, watch swell forecasts obsessively, and accept that for several hours of a voyage worth hundreds of millions of dollars the ship is gliding over the bottom on a cushion of water about as deep as a one-storey room is tall. The strait is so shallow, and so commercially essential, that the global tanker industry built a ship class around it. “Malaccamax” is the largest size of vessel that can transit the strait fully loaded. Anything larger — the ultra-large crude carriers of the 1970s — has to go the long way around, south of Sumatra and through the Lombok or Sunda Straits, adding significant distance and days of steaming. The economics of that detour are brutal. A Malaccamax burning substantial fuel oil daily pays for the convenience of the shortcut many times over. So shipowners design to the strait’s controlling depth, and the strait, in turn, shapes the global oil fleet. About 90,000 vessels transit the Strait of Malacca each year, according to data cited by analysts atThe Conversation. That is one ship roughly every six minutes, around the clock, every day. On a clear morning from the observation deck of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, the anchorage off the southern coast looks like a parking lot of steel — bulk carriers, container ships, LNG tankers, crude carriers, all queueing for berths, bunkers, or the next slot through the traffic separation scheme. The Singapore Strait operates a one-way traffic system run jointly by Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, with eastbound and westbound lanes separated by a buffer zone and policed by VTIS, the Vessel Traffic Information Service. Pilots speak to controllers in clipped English. A deviation of a few hundred metres can put a laden VLCC on a reef. The numbers behind what moves through here are difficult to picture. Around16 million barrels of oil a daypass through the strait, along with most of the liquefied natural gas bound for Japan, South Korea, and China. A substantial portion of China’s crude oil imports cross the strait at some point in their journey. For Beijing, this is the basis of what has been called the “Malacca dilemma” — the strategic vulnerability of having the nation’s energy lifeline pinched into a corridor a few kilometres wide. A new analysis from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, summarised byTradeWinds, argues that China’s energy supply is in fact more exposed at the Strait of Hormuz than at Malacca, because crude that has already cleared Hormuz has many possible routes east. The Malacca route is the cheapest. It is also the shallowest. When a large ship moves through shallow water, it sinks. The phenomenon is called squat: water accelerating under the hull drops in pressure, the stern settles, and a VLCC at speed in shallow water can squat significantly. Pilots compensate by reducing speed, which reduces squat but increases transit time and fuel burn. They watch the tide tables for the extra clearance a spring tide gives them. They watch the wake of the ship ahead, because a passing vessel can lower the water level behind it by tens of centimetres. A long swell rolling up from the Indian Ocean, combined with squat, can eat into that required margin — which is why the regulations cap speed at 12 knots through the tightest stretches and pilots routinely run well below it. The combination of draft, squat and swell is exactly the variable a transit is planned around, hour by hour, so that the three-and-a-half-metre minimum is preserved even when conditions conspire against it. The Malacca Strait sits on the Sunda Shelf, a drowned continental platform that, during the last glacial maximum some 20,000 years ago, was dry land. Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Java were joined into a single landmass called Sundaland. As sea levels rose roughly 120 metres after the last ice age, the lowlands flooded but the underlying geology remained: a broad, shallow shelf rather than a deep marine channel. Sediment from the great rivers of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula continues to fill the strait. Without continuous dredging of the main channels and the Phillips Channel approaches, depths would shoal further. The three littoral states — Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore — coordinate hydrographic surveys and channel maintenance under longstanding arrangements. Strategists in Washington, Beijing and New Delhi keep returning to the same map. A blockade or major incident in the strait — a collision, a grounding, a deliberate act — would ripple through global energy markets within hours. Writing inForeign Affairs, analysts have drawn the comparison to the 1984 “tanker war” in the Persian Gulf, when Iran laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz but the chokepoint nonetheless remained in use because alternatives were so costly. Alternatives to Malacca exist but they are slower, deeper, and harder to police. The Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra is shorter for some routes but treacherous, with active volcanism around Anak Krakatau. The Lombok Strait, between Bali and Lombok, is deep enough for ultra-large crude carriers but adds days to a voyage. Proposals for a canal across the Kra Isthmus in Thailand have circulated for centuries and never been built. Pipelines across the Malay Peninsula have been discussed and shelved. Southeast Asian governments have begun openly discussing whether the strait should be tolled, particularly after disruptions elsewhere. The Council on Foreign Relations notes that the conversation has shifted from “freedom of navigation” purism toward serious consideration of user fees to fund safety, anti-piracy and environmental work. Piracy in the strait, once one of the world’s worst hotspots, has fallen sharply after coordinated patrols by the littoral states.Reporting on the declinecredits the Malacca Strait Patrol, a joint sea and air operation, with much of the change. Collisions remain the bigger risk. Most incidents involve smaller craft cutting across the traffic separation lanes — fishing boats, sand barges, ferries. A laden VLCC at speed needs significant distance to stop. The pilots know it. So does the VTIS controller in Singapore who sees a fishing skiff drift across a tanker’s track on radar and has perhaps 90 seconds to do something about it. Singapore, which sits at the strait’s eastern hinge, has built its economy on this geography. The Port of Singapore handled around 39 million TEU of containers in 2023 and remains the world’s largest bunkering port, refuelling the ships that move global trade. The city-state is now positioning itself to supplygreen methanoland ammonia to the next generation of tankers, betting that whatever fuel ships burn in 2050, they will still come through this channel to take it on board. Indonesia, on the southern shore, has pushed in a different direction, courting Chinese investment for ports and industrial corridors along the Sumatran and Riau coasts. Some of those projects havecollided with local communitiesbeing asked to make way for the wharves and refineries the new traffic will demand. At any given moment, somewhere in the Phillips Channel, a tanker pilot is staring at an echo sounder display. The number on the screen shows the gap between the bottom of the ship and the bottom of the sea. In the worst minutes of a transit, with squat and swell working against the pilot, it can press down toward the three-and-a-half-metre floor the rules will not let it cross — a thin band of water under a hull that can run the length of three football pitches. Above the pilot’s head, on the bridge wing, a quarter of the world’s oil moves past Singapore’s skyline at the speed of a brisk jog. Below, mud and shells. The space between them is the margin the modern economy lives on. Written by The Space Daily Editorial Team produces content across our two editorial pillars: space industry news and Mind & Meaning.

📰 Offshore Energy Media 📅 2026-06-11 en
EnQuest Petroleum Production Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange-listed energy firm EnQuest, has set the wheels in motion to enlarge its oil and gas footprint in Southeast Asia through a proposed acquisition of interests in four production sharing contracts (PSCs) off the coast of Malaysia. The post EnQuest makes $833 million play to expand its Southeast Asian oil & gas arsenal appeared first on Offshore Energy .
EnQuest Petroleum Production Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of London Stock Exchange-listed energy firm EnQuest, has set the wheels in motion to enlarge its oil and gas footprint in Southeast Asia through a proposed acquisition of interests in four production sharing contracts (PSCs) off the coast of Malaysia. EnQuest has agreed to acquire three separate packages that include stakes in four offshore production sharing contracts in Malaysia by entering into three separate farm‑out agreements (FOAs) with Petronas Carigali and E&P Malaysia Venture (EPMV). The maximum total consideration for the proposed acquisitions is $833 million, of which $554 million is payable upon completion, expected on December 31, 2026, subject to customary completion conditions, including inter alia the waiver or expiry of applicable pre-emption rights associated with Package 2. This content is available after accepting the cookies. Trio picks up new production sharing contract in Peninsular Malaysia This move gives existing PSC partners the right to match the proposed terms and utilize their pre-emption rights. If these acquisitions complete, they will constitute a reverse takeover for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules (UKLRs) of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In addition, the acquisition of Package 1 alone, regardless of whether Package 2 or 3 complete, constitutes a reverse takeover under the UKLRs. Should the acquisition of Package 1 not complete, the acquisition of Package 2, either alone or together with Package 3, would not constitute a reverse takeover under the UKLRs. EnQuest’s strategic focus is to expand its production footprint in the region. In light of this, the proposed acquisitions will deliver a step change in the firm’s production, reserves and cash flow, as well as provide significant organic opportunities for future growth. Amjad Bseisu, Chief Executive Officer, EnQuest, commented:“With these proposed acquisitions, we are taking a decisive step in the evolution of our business. It reflects our clear focus on building a larger, more diversified portfolio, while maintaining our discipline in pursuing opportunities that enhance value, strengthen cash generation and support long-term Shareholder returns.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. EnQuest widens its Southeast Asian horizons with more oil & gas assets The consideration for the proposed acquisitions is expected to be funded by the company’s existing debt facilities and cash resources. On a 2025 net participating interest basis, the firm anticipates enlarged production of over 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), a 134% increase versus 2025 production. The new participating interests together add about 57.400 boepd of production, with Southeast Asia contribution increasing to 69% and the UK North Sea contributing 31%. The enlarged 2025 production is weighted 63% liquids and 37% gas, with the new participating interests being 47% liquids and 53% gas. The 2P reserves are approximately 300 million boe, which is around an 85% increase versus the firm’s reported 2P volumes, as at December 31, 2025. The new participating interests bring 138 million boe (net, as at March 31, 2026). Bseisu emphasized:“This is an exciting moment for EnQuest that expands our South East Asia position, strengthens our global portfolio, provides a material milestone in the delivery of our growth strategy, and, we believe, will deliver significant value for shareholders. “I thank Carigali for its continued trust in EnQuest as a strategic partner and high-performing operator, and very much look forward to working with our partners to realise the full potential of these new additions to our portfolio.” Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

A Novo Hamburgo, un comune nello Stato del Rio Grande do Sul a Porto Alegre, Neymar è diventato un murale di 200 metri dipinto sull’asfalto. Un capolavoro artistico a cielo aperto che si è già trasformato in un punto di pellegrinaggio per tifosi e curiosi. Si dice che il calcio brasiliano vero si giochi per la strada e quindi quale posto migliore per dedicare un ritratto al numero 10 della Seleção. La strada, in via João Pessoa, è stata cosparsa di vernice verde, oro e blu, i colori della maglia della nazionale, trasformandola in un tributo urbano di 850 metri quadrati di superficie calpestabile. L’opera, come riporta il giornale locale Globo Esporte RS, è stata completata tra il 6 e il 7 giugno da sei artisti urbani: Rafael Jung, Nosg, Bart, Chimia, Joca e Jefferson. La realizzazione si inserisce in un più ampio progetto di riqualificazione urbana pensata dal polo culturale Galeria 5. Fin dal principio è stato pensato come evento collettivo, durante il quale i residenti del luogo hanno potuto osservare in diretta l’evoluzione del disegno mentre intorno erano stati allestiti mercatini per scambiarsi le figurine dei Mondiali e food trucks. RUA DO NEYMAR! ???????? Neymar ganhou uma pintura de cerca de 200m na esquina das ruas João Pessoa e Voluntários da Pátria, no Rio Grande do Sul. A homenagem ao craque foi feita por artistas locais.

Non solo è il marcatore più prolifico della nazionale, ma è anche l’idolo del suo Paese. Basta guardare ai cori, alle esultanze e anche alle lacrime dei brasiliani dopo aver scoperto che mister Carlo Ancellotti aveva convocato il numero 10 per quello che sarà il suo ultimo Mondiale. Poco dopo però il Brasile aveva passato giorni di apprensione a seguito di un infortunio al polpaccio riportato dal campione ex Barcellona e Psg, che ne aveva messo a rischio la presenza. Che ci sarà sembra ormai fuori dubbio, resta solo da capire quanto giocherà.
