A one-year wave data campaign has commenced in the Caribbean island of Martinique to gather information that will chart the path for the development of a pilot wave energy project. Danish wave energy company Wavepistonentered into an agreementin 2023 with French firm YS Energies Marines Developpement (YS EMD) for the development of the wave energy project. In succession of the work started under this partnership, Wavepiston entered a collaboration with CreOcean to perform a wave data campaign on Martinique’s east coast. The French firm has installed a wave buoy, which will collect wave data for 12 months on Martinique’s Atlantic coast to advance the understanding of the local wave resource. This will bring Wavepiston closer to the deployment of a pilot farm, followed by a commercial wave energy farm. The budget is €63,000, with the project receiving funding from ADEME. “Furthermore, the project will receive local support on engaging with local politicians and landowners. Getting the buy-in from local stakeholders is very important for the development of Wavepiston wave energy farms,”Wavepiston said.

We've taken the top six Thunderbolt 5 docks we could get our hands on and put them into a six-way battle for supremacy. We’ve previously taken a look at a couple of popular Thunderbolt 4 docks on the market, including theIvanky FusionDock Max 1 and the Amazon Basics Thunderbolt 4 Pro Dock. However, with Thunderbolt 5 now on the market and proliferating on desktop motherboards and laptops, we’ve decided to take a look at what’s available in the Thunderbolt 5 dock market. This time around, we’ve assembled the CalDigit TS5 and the brawnier TS5 Plus, along with the Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock, the Ivanky FusionDock Ultra, Hyper HyperDrive Next, and WAVLINK WL-UTD58. As an added data point, we also have an Orico Thunderbolt 5 SSD enclosure for testingexternal storagespeeds over Thunderbolt 5. Let's take a look at the contenders, then get to thebenchmarks, and finally crown the winner. The TS5 is already impressive in its own right, but the$499 TS5 Plusdials up the specs a notch or two. While the TS5 includes 15 ports, the TS5 Plus bumps that to 20. The design of the TS5 Plus closely resembles the TS5, but it is slightly taller and features a space grey finish instead of natural aluminum. As for the port arrangement, this is what you’ll find on the TS5 Plus: Front Back Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox. As you can see, the TS5 Plus is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to ports. While it loses one downstream Thunderbolt 5 port, it gains a DisplayPort 2.1 port. You’ll also find three additional USB-C ports and a total of four USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports on the back. CalDigit also managed to squeeze an extra USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port on the front of the unit. You’ll also appreciate that the onboard LAN port has been upgraded to 10 GbE (up from 2.5 GbE). In addition, external monitor support remains unchanged from the TS5, allowing you to connect up to four monitors to a M5 Max-equipped Mac. If the CalDigit docks are all-business with a Mac-infused aluminum unibody style, the$399 Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock Chromadefinitely shows its PC gaming roots. The dock features an anodized black aluminum chassis with an etched Razer logo on top. However, Razer plays up the gamer angle with a Chroma RGB light ring at the base of the unit, visible along the front and sides of the chassis. If this motif is a bit much for your aesthetic tastes, Razer also offers a “Mercury” version of the dock that features a more subdued natural aluminum finish (it’s also $10 cheaper). Thunderbolt docks are known for their propensity to generate a lot of heat, and Razer’s offering is no exception. However, Razer tackles this challenge with a built-in cooling fan that helps to dissipate heat. But active cooling isn’t the only trick up Razer’s sleeve; it also has a built-in PCIe Gen 4x4 M.2 slot on the bottom of the unit. This is a toolless addition: the bottom cover is easily removed using a clip retention system, and the SSD is held in place by a rotating retention clip. Thermal pads are also included that touch the top and bottom of the SSD to help dissipate heat and avoid throttling. Razer’s solution is ingenious since your SSD is hidden away from view with access to the internal cooling fan, and you don’t have to give up an external port to connect a USB-C/Thunderbolt SSD enclosure. Speaking of ports, the Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock isn’t as well-stocked as the two CalDigit docks. You’ll find: Razer has made a few decisions with its Thunderbolt 5 dock that I question. The UHS-II SD slot is mounted on the right side of the unit, which is easy enough to access, but there are no front-mounted ports. All of the remaining ports are on the back of the unit. It would have been nice to have at least one USB-C port and one USB-A port on the front of the unit to quickly connect a thumb drive or other frequently used accessories. The other curious choice is the 1 GbE port on the back of the dock. This is a Thunderbolt 5 dock – I’d expect at least a 2.5 GbE port, and ideally a 10 GbE port, at this price point ($399). The CalDigit TS5 gives you a 2.5 GbE port, while the TS5 Plus offers a 10 GbE port. With that said, the dock supports up to 120 Gbps (80 Gbps for data and 40 Gbps for video) and delivers up to 140W to a laptop. It also supports up to three 4K monitors simultaneously operating at up to 144 Hz. TheWAVLINK WL-UTD58-Mis another solidly built Thunderbolt 5 dock, and its chassis is made entirely of high-quality aluminum. The chassis is relatively long and flat, and can only be used in a landscape orientation (unlike the two CalDigit offerings). There are plenty of ventilation slots along the sides and top of the WL-UTD58-M to help keep the internals cool. Design-wise, I have one issue with the WL-UTD58-M. Power plugs into the back of the dock, while the Thunderbolt cable coming from the host computer plugs into the front of the dock. It makes for a cluttered appearance, and I would have preferred the upstream Thunderbolt 5 port to be on the back, like it is with other docks we have here in this comparison. With that said, you get a decent allotment of ports, including: Front Back There are handy SD and microSD slots on the front of the unit, along with two USB-A and one user-accessible Thunderbolt 5 port (the other is for the host computer). On the back, you’ll find two more Thunderbolt 5, two more USB-A, and a 2.5 GbE port. Like the Razer and Hyper docks, the WL-UTD58-M includes an M.2 PCIe Gen 4x4 on the bottom of the device. The bottom panel is held in place by a single screw and can accommodate a 2280-form-factor SSD. There are no provisions included for securing shorter SSDs. TheIvanky FusionDock Ultrais an ambitious product targeted at a limited set of users. While the other Thunderbolt 5 docks assembled here are compatible with Macs and Windows PCs, the FusionDock Ultra is only compatible with Macs. And limiting its reach even further, it's only compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. And yet another limitation is that, because the dock uses two Thunderbolt 5 chips, you must give up two Thunderbolt ports on your Mac. However, if you have an Apple Silicon Mac, the number of ports available to you is unmatched by the FusionDock Ultra. If you thought the TS5 Plus was impressive with 20 ports, the FusionDock Ultra ups the stakes with 26 ports, made possible by the dual Thunderbolt 5 chips. To keep the internal circuits cool, Ivanky uses twin cooling fans to expel hot air from the enclosure. The fans are dynamic, spinning up only when necessary, depending on the load. The dock itself is quite attractive, with a Space Grey finish, gold trimming, and a "floating midframe design" in which the main unit is surrounded by an outer heatsink. Front Back It’s hard to be disappointed with the sheer number and variety of ports available on the FusionDock Ultra. It’s absolutely bonkers to see 7 USB-C ports on the front of the unit, although having access to four fully-fledged Thunderbolt 5 ports on the back is great. It’s also nice to see dedicated HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 ports, along with an S/PDIF jack. And as you would expect with such a high-end dock, there’s a 10 GbE port onboard as well. About the only thing missing from the FusionDock Ultra is an internal M.2 SSD slot, but given the number of ports available, we won’t hold a grudge over the omission. To test SSD speeds with the assembled Thunderbolt 5 docks, we used an Orico Thunderbolt80G enclosure. This is an aluminum-alloy Thunderbolt 5 enclosure that supports up to M.2 (PCIe Gen4x4) SSDs. The Thunderbolt80G enclosureretails for $165 on Amazon. A single screw is removed to lift off the ribbed bottom panel, which reveals the internal M.2 slot. Orico provides a thermal pad for affixing to your SSD, which is then secured with a screw. A single 80 Gbps Thunderbolt 5 cable is also included in the box. Hyper's $399 HyperDrive Next Thunderbolt 5 dockfeatures a dark grey aluminum chassis, but it's not a full aluminum shell like the other docks assembled here. Instead, both the front and rear fascias are mae of plastic, which doesn't impart the same feeling of quality. The top of the enclosure is smooth to the touch, while both sides feature a ribbed design to better disperse heat. Front Back The $399 dock features a dedicated power button on the front (something that you won't find on the other docks) and includes a 2.5 GbE network port on the back. Interestingly, Hyper doesn't equip the dock with an SD or microSD slot. You do get a good assortment of ports up front, including one Thunderbolt 5 and two USB-A, along with two additional Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports on the back. The HyperDrive Next includes an integrated SSD slot (PCIe Gen 4x4) for storage expansion. The dock includes mounting points for 2230, 2242, 2260, or 2280 SSDs, providing plenty of flexibility. There are also thermal pads included for both sides of the SSD to aid in cooling (which is important given that Thunderbolt docks, in general, tend to get rather toasty). The HyperDrive Next supports up to 80 Gbps for data and 40 Gbps for video, and is compatible with up to 140-watt charging to a connected laptop. When connected to a PC, the dock supports up to one 8K/144 Hz display or up to two 8K displays running at 120 Hz. If you're using a Mac, a single display to 6K resolution and 60 Hz is supported, or dual 6K displays at up to 60 Hz. Windows machines can also support triple 4K monitors at 60 Hz, while Macs can only support this configuration if equipped with an M5 Pro (or higher) SoC. CalDigit's "TS" line comprises its high-end Thunderbolt docks (with the "Element" line being a step below). The$399 TS5 is the entry pointfor CalDigit's high-end Thunderbolt 5 docks. CalDigit hasn't broken any new ground with the TS5's design, as it looks similar to the TS3 and TS4 that came before it. That means you get a passively cooled dock that can sit either horizontally or vertically, depending on your needs. The chassis is machined from aluminum, which matches almost perfectly with the natural aluminum found on Apple's silver MacBooks. There's also a collection of cooling fins on the sides to help dissipate heat. Despite being the entry-level model, the TS5 packs a wealth of ports: Front Back The TS5 supports up to 120 Gbps (80 Gbps data, 40 Gbps video) and external SSDs at up to 6,200 Mbps (twice as fast as previous-generation Thunderbolt 4 docks). In addition, it supplies up to 140W power delivery to a connected laptop. When it comes to monitor support, the TS5 can support up to four external monitors simultaneously. Properly spec'd Macs and PCs can support up to three external monitors. Only Macs with an M5 Max processor can support four monitors at once (up to four 6K at 60 Hz or four 4K at 144 Hz). Thunderbolt 5 Ports (Downstream) USB-C Ports (Downstream) Downstream USB-A Ports (Downstream) HDMI DisplayPort microSD/SD slot Ethernet PCie 4.0 M.2 slot CalDigit TS5 3 3 2 N/A N/A Yes 2.5 GbE N/A CalDigit TS5 Plus 5 2 5 N/A Yes Yes 10 GbE N/A Razer TB5 Dock 3 1 2 N/A N/A Yes 2.5 GbE Yes Hyper HyperDrive Next 2 N/A 4 N/A N/A N/A 2.5 GbE Yes WAVLINK WL-UTD58-M 3 N/A 4 N/A N/A Yes 2.5 GbE Yes Ivanky FusionDock Ultra 4 8 4 Yes Yes Yes 10 GbE No For storage testing, we used a PNY CS2150 PCIe 5.0 SSD. We first tested the SSD in our test system, which features an Asus Z890 Creator WiFi motherboard with an onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Next, we tested the Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock with the CS2150 installed into the internal M.2 slot. Finally, we tested the CalDigit TS5 and TS5 Plus connected to the CS2150 within the Orico SSD enclosure via a Thunderbolt 5 port. We ran a quick test with CrystalDiskMark, which is a free benchmarking tool, to see how each dock handled the PNY CS2150 SSD. For baseline numbers, we saw 10,381.26 MBps reads and 8,645.4 MBps writes using the CS2150 on an Asus Z890 Creator WiFi motherboard. Switching to the Razer Chroma 5 Dock, the sequential reads and writes dropped to 5,627.29 MBps and 5,620.6 MBps, respectively. Not surprisingly, the CalDigit TS5 and TS5 Plus posted nearly identical performance, at just over 5,300 MBps sequential reads and 5,520 MBps sequential writes. It should be noted that all three docks cite a theoretical maximum of 6,200 Mbps transfers (64Gb/s PCIe 4.0 interface). Given that the FusionDock Ultra is only supported on Apple Silicon Macs, I couldn’t run our CrystalDiskMark benchmarks on the CS2150. However, when using the CS2150 with an Orico SSD enclosure connected to a free Thunderbolt 5 port on the back, I recorded read speeds of just over 3,000 MBps and write speeds of over 2,500 MBps using BlackMagic Disk Speed Test. Keep in mind, however, that the FusionDock Ultra was limited to Thunderbolt 4 speeds on the MacBook Air (M4) that I used for testing. I had no trouble using any of the docks to run two monitors simultaneously, including a 49-inch, 240 Hz DQHD monitor. Each dock worked impeccably with myWindows 11Home desktop system (except the FusionDock Ultra, which is incompatible), an M5 MacBook Air, and an M4 Mac Mini. The latter two systems only support Thunderbolt 4, but the docks are backward compatible with the older, slower interface. There were also no issues using the onboard LAN ports, as I was able to reach the theoretical maximum on each port using iPerf3 testing across all three docks (including the 10 GbE port on the TS5 Plus and FusionDock Ultra). As for thermals, all remained warm to the touch, even when the host computer was idle. At no time did any become too hot to handle. The Razer Thunderbolt 5 and FusionDock Ultra docks were slightly cooler to the touch thanks to their internal fans (which are only audible if you stick your ear to the unit). Although Thunderbolt docks don’t really make much sense for most desktop systems, they are an incredible lifeline for laptops, which have a more limited port selection. You can take one Thunderbolt 5 port from your MacBook Pro and, in return, get 20 ports with a CalDigit TS5. Not only do they offer a “one cable” solution for data and power, but you also get a wide range of connectivity options across Thunderbolt, USB-C, USB-A, and SD/microSD. And in the case of the TS5, DisplayPort 2.1 and 10 GbE ports are part of the equation. The Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock is a sleek solution that provides an internal M.2 slot for storage expansion and Chroma RGB effects that can sync with your Razer laptop. However, I’m not thrilled with the lack of front-mounted ports or the lackluster GbE network port provided,given its $399 price tag. The CalDigit TS5 Plus is the overachiever of the bunch, offering a total of 20 ports and support for up to four external monitors (when connected to an M5 Max system). You get five legacy USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, a 10 GbE port, and more. However, that abundance of connectivity options results in ahefty price of $499. The CalDigit TS5 is not as port-packed as its “Plus” sibling, but it still offers three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports along with a wealth of USB-A and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports. Like the TS5 Plus, the TS5 also includes multiple front-mounted ports for USB-C,audio, and SD cards. The TS5 also one-ups the Razer Thunderbolt 5 Dock by including an integrated 2.5 GbE port instead of the old hat GbE. At astreet price of $399, the CalDigit TS5 is the best option for most people. The Hyper HyerDrive Next and WAVLINK WL-UTD58-M are both good options if you're looking to spend $400 or less. In addition, they both include an M.2 slot for expanding storage with an SSD. That leaves us with the Ivanky FusionDrive Ultra. This dock is an exercise in excess, from its elaborate design to its use of two Thunderbolt 5 chips to its requirement of two free Thunderbolt 4 ports. But in return, you get an insane 26 total ports, including seven USB-C ports up front and four Thunderbolt 5 on the back, along with HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and 10 GbE ports. However, compatibility is extremely limited, working only on Apple Silicon Macs. In addition, with astreet price of $650, it’s by far the most expensive dock we tested. However, if it were money being spent on a Thunderbolt 5 docking station, I’d have to give the crown to the WAVLINK WL-UTD58-M. With a price tag of just over $250, an integrated M.2 slot, and a well-balanced assortment of ports, it’s hard to ignore its value proposition. Although we plan to keep this guide updated as we test additional Thunderbolt 5 docks, here are some additional units to consider: Brandon Hill is a senior editor at Tom's Hardware.

Oslo-headquartered BW Offshore has made arrangements to keep its floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel occupied until the end of the current decade at its ongoing assignment in the North Sea on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). While announcing a contract extension for theFPSO BW Catcher, BW Offshore disclosed an agreement with theCatcher fieldpartners to amend the contract period for the vessel. This unit is deployed at the Harbour Energy-operated Catcher field, around 173 kilometers southeast of Aberdeen, with associated fields, includingVaradero,Burgman, andLaverda. Marco Beenen, CEO of BW Offshore, commented:“We are strengthening the long‑term commercial framework for BW Catcher, adding material cash-flow visibility, while also improving our ability to market the unit for future opportunities. “The Catcher FPSO is a high-specification, harsh-environment asset, making it a highly valuable redeployment unit. In the current strong FPSO market, enhanced contractual clarity and flexibility are key drivers for unlocking additional value over time.” These amendments, effective from the start of February 2026, are said to convert the current contract into an agreement with a defined end-of-term framework to December 31, 2030, and remove the previous unilateral options for one-year extensions. This is expected to increase the company’s firm operating cash flow backlog by approximately $490 million as of that date. Since the revised contract structure provides BW Offshore with clarity on the end-of-contract timeline, it is interpreted to enable active marketing of the FPSO for new redeployment projects. The updated terms are perceived to reflect a discount equivalent to 10% of the current bareboat charter day rate, applied as an offset against the operations and maintenance (O&M) day rate. In addition, the parties have agreed on a revised production tariff structure from 2028 that introduces a cap linked to prevailing oil prices, while maintaining the existing tariff framework. This FPSO extension comes shortly after BW Offshorewona front-end engineering and design (FEED) deal for an FPSO set to work at Equinor’s oil project off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Honor has delivered the perfect Android tablet with the MagicPad 4, addressing every single complaint I had with the previous model. Its attractive design is incredibly thin and lightweight, but the brand has still managed to cram in some strong specs that power through work and play. The OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous and a highlight at this price, especially paired with such a great speaker setup. With generous update support promised, this will be my go-to device for years to come. Incredibly thin and very lightweight Beautiful, high refresh rate OLED screen Unbelievable value Excellent speakers Almost unbeatable update support Great new PC mode Slight battery downgrade compared to the MagicPad 3 Why you can trust TechRadarWe spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you're buying the best.Find out more about how we test. With the Honor MagicPad 4, it’s hard not to think that the Chinese tech brand read myHonor MagicPad 3 reviewlast year and set out to address every single criticism that I raised. Honor advertises the MagicPad 4 as the slimmest tablet on the market — and for our money, that’s true. At just 4.8mm, it's incredibly thin (beating the already impressively slim 5.1mmiPad Proby a slight margin), which, combined with its light 450g weight, means the MagicPad 4 is a massive 12.3-inch tablet that’s easy to travel with and even hold comfortably in one hand. Although being the thinnest tablet makes for a decent ad campaign, it’s actually the wealth of other upgrades that put the Honor MagicPad 4 among thebest Android tabletsright now. Seriously, Honor fixed everything negative that I pointed out last year — it’s almost a little uncanny. The display is a gorgeous 3KOLEDwith a butter-smooth 164Hz OLED (compared to last year’s less vibrant LCD) and a superb 2,400-nit peak brightness. Paired with an incredibly punchy eight-speaker stereo setup, this has become my go-to tablet for media consumption both at home and while travelling. With a viewing experience this good, it’s almost no surprise that this is one of the few IMAX Enhanced-certified tablets on the market. An OLED panel is no small feat at this price range, too, and the vibrant colors alone put the MagicPad 4 lightyears ahead of similarly priced competitors like theOnePlus Pad 3. The divisive plastic material of the MagicPad 3 is also out, replaced with a full metal unibody chassis that looks very premium and is so much better to the touch. This design refresh has been paired with a subtle spec upgrade under the hood. The MagicPad 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, which is not quite the latest flagship chip, but a high-end offering that powers through productivity and holds its own in demanding games. You also get a beefy 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (upgraded to 16GB and 512GB, respectively, if you splash out for the more expensive model that I tested). Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. Even this tablet's software has received a noticeable upgrade. MagicOS 10 is moreApple-like than ever (complete with its own version ofLiquid Glass), but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As an ex-Apple user, I really appreciate the familiarity of MagicOS, and find that it’s perfectly easy-to-use while still offering a decent level of customization. Importantly, though, this latest incarnation finally introduces a proper desktop mode with taskbar and apps in resizable windows, and it’s hard to overstate how much of a difference this makes to productivity. I just about managed a full day of work with the MagicPad 3, but it was a little fiddly and awkward at times. Now, I can pack the MagicPad 4 for any business trip and, having already brought it with me on a couple, I haven’t found myself missing my laptop yet. Obviously, your mileage will vary depending on your specific tasks and software, but for my day-to-day work of responding to emails, updating spreadsheets, and typing away inGoogleDocs (with the optional keyboard add-on), I can’t complain. The only possible flaw here is the battery, which is smaller than that of the MagicPad 3. Still, the MagicPad 4's battery life remains excellent, and this tablet will easily put up with hours and hours of video playback in a single sitting. The Honor MagicPad 4 is available via Honor's website, where it starts at £599.99 for a 12GB + 256GB model. You can upgrade to the 16GB + 512GB model that I tested for an extra £100. That’s already amazing value for the specs (you’d struggle to find anything in this price range with an OLED screen alone), but as with other Honor products, you can expect a deluge of discounts and freebies to crop up throughout the year. At the time of writing, you can nab £100 off either version, and pay an extra £50 to add in a compatible keyboard case and the latest Honor Magic Pencil 3 stylus. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see free smartwatches, earbuds, chargers, and more thrown in over the coming months, so be sure to buy with at least a few freebies available to maximize value. Even if you pay the full asking price, you’re still getting a great deal, though. As with other Honor devices, the MagicPad 4 isn’t officially sold in the US, so it's very tricky to get there. Australian availability also seems limited. Here’s a look at the Honor MagicPad 4’s key specs: Dimensions: 273.4 x 178.8 x 4.8mm Operating system: MagicOS 10 (Android 16) Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Weight: 450g Memory (RAM): 12GB / 16GB Storage: 256GB / 512GB Display: 12.3 inch 1920 x 3000 165Hz OLED Cameras: 12MP wide, 9MP selfie Battery: 10,100 mAh silicon carbon Connectivity: USB Type-C 3.2 The most impressive aspect of the MagicPad 4’s design is, of course, its thinness. This is currently the slimmest tablet you can buy, beating even the high-end iPad Pro, and it looks seriously thin in person. In fact, there seems to have been barely enough room to cram in the USB Type-C charging port. You might think that this slight profile would make the MagicPad 4 feel cheap or flimsy, but that's not the case. The tablet has a wholly metal body, consisting of a single piece with no visible manufacturing seams. There’s absolutely no flex if you try to bend it, and my unit has picked up no noticeable scratches or marks in my use so far. The MagicPad 4’s thinness isn’t just for show either — on top of being easy to chuck into your backpack, I found that it made the tablet very easy to hold in one hand. I conducted an hour and twenty-minute-long interview with the MagicPad 4 gripped in my left hand for notes, and experienced no noticeable fatigue. The interviewee even asked what brand the tablet was when we wrapped up, and remarked on how thin and light it looked. The screen is large and spacious, with roughly 4mm bezels for a very modern appearance. There’s actually a little 9MP selfie cam nestled in there at the top, but it’s hard to see outside of direct sunlight. This camera isn’t amazing, but it gets the job done for video calls and would be on the better end of most laptop webcams. It’s a similar story with the rear 12MP shooter, found in a square camera module alongside the flash. It’s good enough to scan documents, but you obviously shouldn’t be using (or even expect to use) a massive tablet like this for your holiday snaps. Please, just take a few extra seconds to pull out your phone like a normal person. For sound, you’re getting an eight-speaker stereo setup that’s impressively clear and crisp. The bass isn’t as strong as that of thicker tablets, but it still offers a detailed and well-rounded listening experience. As someone who routinely uses tablets to watch entire concert recordings with the sound blasting at full volume, I really value a good speaker setup, and the MagicPad 4 is up there as one of the best I’ve tested at this price. Just make sure that you go into the settings and turn off all of the Honor sound features that are, for some reason, enabled by default, as they can make everything sound artificially tinny. The tablet has all the expected buttons, namely a power button and volume rocker. There’s also a little magnetic strip for attaching the compatible Magic Pencil 3 stylus if you have one. And yes, Honor’s stylus will automatically charge and pair when stuck onto the tablet. Take notes,Lenovo. I tested the Honor MagicPad 4 in conjunction with the white Honor MagicPad 4 Smart Touch Keyboard. It seems very similar to the keyboard I was sent with the Honor MagicPad 3, and it's once again fantastic. It attaches to the tablet via a magnetic accessory port on its rear and pairs automatically. The touchpad is quick and responsive, the keys have a good level of travel, and it’s not too bulky to be practical. I do also still love the folding design of the stand, which folds down to expose the top half of the tablet and show off its slimness. On the display side of things, I can’t fault the Honor MagicPad 4 in any way. This is an absurdly good screen for the price, simply decimating what OnePlus, Lenovo, and especially Apple will give you for under £600. This 12.3-inch 1920 x 3000 (3K) OLED panel is pin-sharp and delightfully crisp, with vibrant colors and rich black shades. I’ve been on a bit of an anime binge, having recently renewed myCrunchyrollsubscription, and every show that I’ve dipped into has been absolutely beautiful to watch. Games look lovely too; the high-fidelity visuals of the recently releasedNeverness to Everness, for instance, really blew me away. And opening theKindleapp, the 3K resolution leads to great-looking text in books and detailed panels in comics. WithHDRsupport and a peak brightness of roughly 2,400 nits, the MagicPad 4's display can get jaw-droppingly bright and remains visible in even the strongest possible sunlight outdoors. Honor also deserves some kudos for applying a 5,280Hz PWM dimming rate to this screen. This subtle spec isn’t going to matter for most people, but could be a game-changer for those with sensitive eyes and massively reduces the chance of eye strain or fatigue over extended periods of use. Even if you’re just browsing the web or flicking through the system menus, motion is seriously smooth, too, as a result of the tablet's 165Hz refresh rate. The slightly pricierHuawei MatePad Pro 13.2is the only model I can think of that comes close to this level of display performance without asking that you pay a huge amount more, but that device has a lower refresh rate and is dimmer, so it loses to the MagicPad 4 overall in my book. In other words, whatever you’re watching, playing, or reading on the MagicPad 4, this tablet is simply perfect. Update support is one of my biggest concerns when buying an Android tablet. There are too many brands out there that will charge iPad prices while offering only two or three years of update support. Honor was actually guilty of this last year with the MagicPad 3, which only came with one Android version upgrade and two years of security patches (something I described as the device’s “fatal flaw”). This time around, Honor has promised six years of major Android updates for consumers in the EU. That’s without a doubt the best level of support I’ve seen for an Android tablet under £600, putting basically every other brand to shame. There’s no telling how regular these updates will be, but at least shoppers aren’t splashing out for a tablet with a looming expiration date right out of the box. As for MagicOS 10 (which is based on Android 15), the biggest change this time around, aside from the new Liquid-Glass-like design language, is the addition of an upgraded desktop mode. It features the option of a persistent taskbar (at last!) and displays apps in easily resizable windows that you can snap to different parts of the screen. It’s much less fiddly than the equivalent ‘Floating Window mode’ of MagicOS 9 and makes serious productivity on the MagicPad 4 much easier. Otherwise, my words from last year still ring true. In my eyes, MagicOS is the best possible middle ground between the attractive look of iOS and the customization offered by Android. Former Apple users will find the design of menus familiar, but with a few interesting twists here and there. Quirky customization features like the 3D Avatar — a little person that you can create and set as an animated wallpaper — are still present and just as charming as before. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 isn’t the latest and greatest flagship chipset, but it’s still a capable SoC that delivers great all-round performance when paired with 12GB (or 16GB) of RAM. The MagicPad 4's interface is always quick and responsive, with no noticeable slowdown or reloading when flicking between streams on the likes of Netflix,AmazonPrime Video, andYouTube. Effective multitasking is a piece of cake, too, and I've not had any issues running Gmail, Slack, Google Docs, and Chrome simultaneously as I work. The MagicPad 4 is also a capable gaming tablet. It supports both WiFi 7 for speedy game downloads and holds its own in even the most demanding titles.Delta ForceandZenless Zone Zeroboth run very smoothly at their default graphics presets, and I’ve been particularly impressed with how well the Honor MagicPad 4 handles the extremely graphically intensiveNeverness to Everness. It defaulted to the extreme graphics preset with 60fps cap and, despite the odd stutter in the most built-up areas of the city, was more than playable for driving around and tackling missions. This particular title looks absolutely breathtaking, and paired with a compatible gaming controller, you’re easily getting a console-quality experience when playing it on the MagicPad 4. The tablet's cooling system is remarkably effective as well. I was a little worried that such a thin tablet would get very hot, yet it’s not actually a big problem. You’ll feel it getting slightly warmer to the touch during sustained play, but it doesn’t become uncomfortably hot or thermal throttle to the extent that it noticeably impacts performance. Honor says this is all thanks to the MagicPad 4's dual-direction vapor chamber, which has somehow been crammed in alongside everything else. The battery is the only area where the Honor MagicPad 4 falls short in comparison to the MagicPad 3. This year’s tablet is powered by a slightly smaller 10,100mAh silicon-carbon cell, which shaves a few hours off the total running time. Luckily, you’ll likely not notice a dramatic difference, as the MagicPad 4 still packs a very big battery, and its battery life is still pretty impressive as a result. This tablet will easily last for a full day of use, with a mix of browsing the web, watching videos, and even a few hours of gaming thrown in there. I packed the tablet for a 14-hour flight and finished with more than 70% left in the tank after completing some decently heavy tasks with brightness cranked up and an intermittent WiFi connection. You can expect well over a week of juice from the MagicPad 4 if you only use it for an hour or two a day, which makes this a great choice if you’re looking for a tablet to keep around the house. When it does run low, charging times are refreshingly quick as well, with 66W wired speeds that should see it back up to full from zero in under an hour and a half with a compatible charger. Attributes Notes Rating Value Strong specs, a gorgeous OLED screen, premium build quality, and six years of software support. You’re not going to find a better value tablet at this price. 5 / 5 Design Record-breaking slimness aside, the new metal body is a huge upgrade compared to last year’s plastic and leads to a tablet that feels as good as it looks. 5 / 5 Display A bright and colorful 3K OLED panel with a high refresh rate, HDR support, and IMAX Enhanced certification. What more could you want? 5 / 5 Software The Apple-inspired UI is familiar and practical with some quirky features thrown in. 4.5 / 5 Performance The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset powers through general use and gaming. 5 / 5 Battery A small downgrade compared to the Honor MagicPad 3, but still more than enough juice to last through days of heavy use. 4 / 5 You want the thinnest tablet aroundThe Honor MagicPad 4 is the thinnest tablet you can buy right now, and is pretty light to boot. As a result, it’s very easy to pack in a bag and comfortable to hold in one hand. You’re craving a great OLED screenThe screen here is fantastic and, paired with the excellent speaker setup, makes kicking back with a movie or TV on the Honor MagicPad 4 a joy. You’re after a capable productivity tabletThanks to the upgraded desktop mode of MagicOS 10, the Honor MagicPad 4 finally feels like a true laptop replacement. Pair it with the excellent keyboard case and you have a great device for work. You need the Apple ecosystemAs Apple-like as it is, MagicOS is still Android. This means that you do miss out on exclusive iPad apps like Procreate, so stick with an Apple device if you need to use them. After some Honor MagicPad 4 alternatives? The older OnePlus Pad 3 is available at a lower price, while the iPad Air 13-inch is a good (albeit much more expensive) option for those who prefer the Apple ecosystem.

Read our fullOnePlus Pad 3 review Apple iPad Air 13-inch (2024)If you’re willing to pay much more for an iPad, then the iPad Air 13-inch (2024) is the model to choose. It’s worse than the Honor MagicPad 4 in practically every regard, but does grant access to the Apple ecosystem and its exclusive apps, which is a big plus. The newer (and even more expensive)iPad Air (2025)is also worth considering, too. Read our fulliPad Air 13-inch (2024) review I tested the 16GB + 512GB version of the Honor MagicPad 4 for multiple months, using it on an almost daily basis as my go-to tablet for work and play. I watched a vast amount of video content on it, read some digital books and comics, and spent plenty of time browsing the web and gaming. I also took it with me on multiple business trips in place of my laptop, where I used it to edit documents and respond to emails. Throughout my time with the tablet, I frequently compared it to other models I've tested, including multiple iPads and both the Honor MagicPad 3 and Honor MagicPad 2.

La Palma Ahora El nuevo buque oceánico multipropósito de la Guardia Civil ‘Duque de Ahumada’, realizará varias escalas técnicas en tres puertos de la provincia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife: 12 de mayo en el puerto de La Estaca (El Hierro), 13 de mayo en el puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y 18 de mayo en el puerto de Santa Cruz de La Palma, informa la Dirección General de la Guardia Civil en una nota de prensa. Las visitas serán realizadas por orden de llegada, hasta completar el aforo en la zona de entrada y estarán guiadas por los guardias civiles del Servicio Marítimo que prestan servicio en el propio buque ‘Duque de Ahumada’, quienes explicarán el trabajo que realizan desde dicha embarcación. Se aconseja que las visitas se realicen con calzado cómodo. El buque oceánico ‘Duque de Ahumada’ En septiembre del pasado año, se señala en la nota, se hizo entrega de este nuevo buque oceánico multipropósito a la Guardia Civil. Fue construido en los astilleros Armón de Vigo, pasando a formar parte de la flota de embarcaciones del Servicio Marítimo de este Cuerpo, siendo este el de mayor tamaño. El buque tiene unas dimensiones de 82,15 metros de eslora, 14 de manga y 4,7 de calado, contando con helipuerto, cinco cubiertas, un ROV (vehículo sumergible operado remotamente) para tareas de inspección y búsqueda subacuática, drones de vigilancia aérea y dos embarcaciones rígidas para interceptación y rescate. Tiene capacidad para 56 tripulantes que se distribuirían en 35 camarotes, y una sala de náufragos habilitada para más de 100 personas, dotada de espacio separado para mujeres y niños. Además, está equipado con una enfermería y espacio hospitalario con posibilidad de transmisión directa de telemedicina con Madrid. Su capacidad operativa sin tocar puerto se puedo alargar hasta 30 días, con una autonomía de 11.000 millas (20.400 km.), lo que amplía el radio y la duración de las misiones. El equipamiento incluye sistemas de navegación y comunicaciones de última generación. Las misiones principales asignadas a este buque, dentro de la Unidad del Grupo Marítimo del Estrecho (Cádiz), son la lucha contra el narcotráfico y crimen organizado, inmigración irregular, funciones de Policía Judicial y Gubernativa, inspección de buques y embarcaciones de pesca y recreativas, lucha contra la contaminación marina y contra el expolio arqueológico marino, así como operaciones de control y rescate en alta mar. Este buque, añade, ha participado recientemente en dos grandes operaciones de intervención de cocaína en el Atlántico: la operación Abisal con el mayor alijo de cocaína de la historia, 30 toneladas, y la operación Alfa-Lima con 11 toneladas intervenidas y 8,5 de hachís en un despliegue de 14 días consecutivos.

Primo trattore elettrico per il La Spezia Container Terminal. Il gruppo Contship, azionista di controllo di Lsct, ha reso noto che “il nuovo mezzo sarà impiegato da Hannibal per le attività di navettaggio all’interno del terminal spezzino come un primo progetto pilota di valutazione della progressiva elettrificazione della flotta dei trattori di banchina, in ottica della riduzione delle emissioni dirette (Scope 1) generate dalle operazioni in porto”. Secondo la societò “l’elettrificazione dei trattori portuali si presta per l’applicazione in terminal: i mezzi, infatti, operano vicino alle stazioni di ricarica e gli avviamenti frequenti massimizzano i vantaggi della frenata rigenerativa. Questo modello di ralla elettrica a zero emissioni ottimizza inoltre i consumi nelle manovre di movimentazione container. La bassa rumorosità e le vibrazioni ridotte garantiscono condizioni di lavoro più sicure e confortevoli, migliorando la produttività e la qualità delle operazioni quotidiane”. L’investimento è stato co-finanziato nell’ambito del progetto Green Ports Pnrr, attraverso un bando promosso e gestito dall’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Ligure Orientale. L’iniziativa rientra nel programma “Porti verdi: interventi di energia rinnovabile ed efficienza energetica nei porti”, sostenuto dall’Unione Europea con risorse Next Generation EU che mira a ridurre le emissioni di CO2 e migliorare la qualità dell’aria nelle città portuali. “Il programma di transizione energetica che abbiamo messo in campo mira a decarbonizzare le attività portuali” ha commentato Simone Pacciardi, Responsabile del Servizio Rapporti con UE, Gestione Progetti Comunitari e Fondi Pnrr dell’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Ligure Orientale. “L’ente, in particolare, ha messo a disposizione degli operatori terminalisti il proprio know-how, relativamente alla gestione di finanziamenti Pnrr, permettendo così di sfruttare le opportunità offerte dall’iniziativa Green Ports a beneficio del sistema portuale”. “L’introduzione del trattore elettrico rappresenta un tassello concreto della strategia di sostenibilità del Gruppo” ha aggiunto Denise Sofia, Head of Esg di Contship. “Nel 2025 abbiamo lanciato l’ambiziosa strategia “Moves that Matter” definendo obiettivi chiari e misurabili, tra cui la decarbonizzazione delle attività del Gruppo in allineamento agli standard SBTi. Questo progetto dimostra come innovazione e sostenibilità, unite alla collaborazione pubblico-privato, possano generare iniziative capaci di creare valore nel medio periodo”. L’iniziativa si colloca in un più ampio piano di innovazione tecnologica intrapreso da Contship nel terminal spezzino, che include digitalizzazione dei processi, nuovi investimenti infrastrutturali e upgrade degli equipment per massimizzare l’efficienza operativa ad ogni livello.

UK-based classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR) has given its blessing to China-based provider of clean energy services Wison New Energies (WNE) for a new harsh environment floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) design featuring an internal turret mooring system. Lloyd’s Register has granted approval in principle (AiP) to Wison New Energies for a new harsh environment internal turret FPSO design, following an independent concept stage review by LR. This AiP is interpreted to mark an early technical milestone for a standardized floating production concept aimed at complex offshore conditions. Ian Crehan, Global Head of Energies Solutions at Lloyd’s Register, commented:“Floating production systems are becoming more complex, and the cost of getting early decisions wrong is rising. Independent assurance at concept stage helps reduce uncertainty and allows projects to move forward with greater technical confidence.” The UK-based classification society explains that the internal turret FPSOs are widely used in demanding metocean conditions, but remain among the most technically complex floating production systems, with critical interfaces between hull, mooring, risers, and topside layouts. By completing an independent concept-stage review, the AiP is said to help demonstrate that the FPSO concept can progress with a clearer view of key technical and safety considerations, supporting earlier, more confident decision-making by project stakeholders. Loy Wee Meng, Senior Product Manager of Wison New Energies’ FPSO Product Center, highlighted:“With design for harsh environment FPSO now completed, Wison has in addition to standard FPSO as well as gas type FPSO designs already developed, possessed the portfolio to undertake FPSO design for 90% of the current world FPSO demand.” Wison New Energies said the approval supports its work to develop FPSO designs that could be deployed more rapidly and reliably in challenging offshore regions. The Chinese firmheld a hull launching ceremonya few months ago at its Nantong Yard for Genting’s floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility.

Indian equity markets remained under pressure on Friday amid escalating geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Fresh exchanges of fire between the US and Iran near the Strait of Hormuz dampened investor sentiment and heightened volatility across global markets. Analysts said Indian equities are likely to stay highly sensitive to geopolitical developments and related news flow in the near term. At 2.04 pm, Sensex depreciated 667 pts or 0.86% to 77,176, and Nifty 50 fell 174 pts or 0.72% to 24,152. Despite the cautious market mood, Emkay Global Research remains constructive on Indian equities, expecting macroeconomic conditions and corporate earnings to recover once tensions surrounding Iran ease and the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors continued aggressive selling in April despite a sharp rebound in benchmark indices, pushing FII ownership in Indian equities to its lowest level since June 2012.

Tata Power and Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation identify the 404 MW Nyera Amari I & II Integrated Hydropower Project for collaboration Tata Power shares flat on the NSE at Rs 438.20 Bitcoin traded near $79,800 on May 8, 2026. It slipped below the key $80,000 level after a volatile week. ETF outflows and fresh macro uncertainty added pressure to the market. The broader structure, however, remains relatively stable as institutional demand continues to absorb deeper corrections. Market participants are now shifting focus from momentum-driven upside to macro-sensitive positioning ahead of key U.S. economic data releases. Technically, Bitcoin faces immediate resistance in the $81,700–$82,800 range. A stronger breakout zone remains near the 200-day moving average around $83,300. On the downside, the first major support lies near $79,300, while stronger demand is expected in the $78,000–$78,500 region. Bitcoin could see a deeper pullback if these levels fail to hold. In that case, the price may move toward the mid-$74,000 zone. Previous buying activity had emerged around that level earlier this quarter. On-chain indicators continue to show mixed but constructive signals. Data tracked by CryptoQuant indicates long-term holders accumulated roughly 331,000 BTC over the past month. This suggests larger investors continue to buy during periods of consolidation rather than distribute aggressively. Exchange reserves also remain relatively subdued. This indicates immediate sell-side pressure is still limited despite recent volatility. ETF flows turned weaker during the May 7–8 period. According to Farside Investors, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $170 million in net outflows on May 7 after modest inflows earlier in the week. While single-day outflows are not uncommon after strong rallies. The slowdown indicates institutions are becoming more cautious ahead of macro events. Macro conditions are now the dominant short-term driver for crypto markets. Investors are closely watching the U.S. non-farm payrolls data and next week’s CPI inflation print for clues on Federal Reserve policy direction. Recent Fed commentary has reinforced expectations that rate cuts could remain delayed if inflation stays elevated. Treasury yields and dollar strength therefore remain critical variables for crypto assets. Among major altcoins, Ethereum traded near $2,275, BNB around $638, XRP near $1.38, and Solana close to $88. Large-cap altcoins continue to underperform Bitcoin. This suggests capital rotation into a broader altcoin cycle remains limited for now. Our advice: Bitcoin remains structurally resilient despite falling below $80,000. However, softer ETF flows and uncertainty around Fed rate expectations could increase near-term volatility. Investors should avoid excessive leverage near resistance zones and maintain disciplined risk management until macro conditions become clearer. Shares of Pidilite Industries climbed sharply in early Friday trade, riding a wave of investor optimism after the Fevicol maker posted robust quarterly earnings the previous evening.

Stay tuned for more updates from businessline Ravi Singh – Chief Research Officer (Research) – Master Capital Services Limited The Nifty Midcap 100 continues to trade on higher note, recently shattering previous ceilings to hit a fresh record high. While large-cap indices like the Nifty 50 are struggling under the weight of global macroeconomic pressures, midcaps are practically running their own race. It essentially boils down to a potent mix of superior earnings, relentless domestic liquidity, and a clear shift in investor preference. Mid-sized companies—especially within sectors like capital goods, real estate, and auto ancillaries—have delivered standout quarterly earnings that heavily overshadow the sluggish growth seen in large-cap IT and banking giants. Furthermore, the sheer volume of retail money pouring in through mutual fund SIPs is providing an unprecedented liquidity cushion. Domestic investors are no longer waiting for foreign institutional cues; they are actively rotating their capital away from saturated, heavy-weight large caps to aggressively chase the higher domestic growth stories sitting in the midcap space. With the Nifty Midcap index trading in volatile zone, the million-dollar question for retail investors is whether to cash out or ride the wave. In the immediate short term, extreme caution is required. The recent vertical rally has pushed valuations in the broader market into deeply overbought zones. Many midcap stocks are now priced for perfection, leaving absolutely no room for earnings misses or negative global news. While the underlying fundamental growth story for these companies remains strong over a multi-year horizon, the immediate price action suggests the market is overdue for a healthy breather or consolidation. Market experts are strongly cautioning against aggressive, lump-sum buying at these peak levels. The smartest play right now is defensive profit-taking. Investors are advised to book partial profits in stocks that have run up too fast and disconnect from their fundamental value, while using trailing stop-losses to protect running gains on their remaining portfolio. Keeping some cash on the sidelines to deploy during the next market dip is the most prudent strategy for the coming weeks.

UniCredit ha finanziato con €22,6 milioni Adriasol per la realizzazione di un impianto fotovoltaico da 37 MW nel porto di Ravenna integrato con sistema di Cold Ironing. L’operazione, strutturata come green mini-perm project financing, sosterrà la costruzione dell’infrastruttura energetica destinata ad alimentare anche il fabbisogno operativo delle navi ormeggiate in banchina. Adriasol è una società controllata pariteticamente da Renco ed Eco Trade, quest’ultima partecipata dal gruppo Ecosuntek. Il progetto rientra in una concessione in partenariato pubblico-privato sottoscritta con l’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mare Adriatico Centro-Settentrionale. L’impianto, la cui entrata in esercizio è prevista entro il 2026, produrrà circa 53 GWh annui di energia da fonti rinnovabili, equivalenti ai consumi di circa 20mila famiglie. Secondo le stime comunicate, il progetto consentirà inoltre di evitare oltre 18mila tonnellate annue di CO2 equivalenti, per un risparmio complessivo superiore a 600mila tonnellate nell’arco della vita utile dell’impianto. La parte di energia non immessa in rete sarà utilizzata per alimentare le navi da crociera in porto attraverso il sistema di Cold Ironing, soluzione che permette di ridurre emissioni e rumore durante la sosta in banchina. L’operazione beneficia inoltre di contributi pubblici legati al progetto Green Ports del PNRR, destinato a sostenere interventi di efficientamento energetico e riduzione delle emissioni nelle infrastrutture portuali italiane. Unicredit UniCredit è un gruppo bancario italiano attivo nei servizi di banca commerciale, corporate banking, investment banking e gestione del risparmio. Il gruppo opera in diversi Paesi europei, con una presenza in Italia, Germania, Austria ed Europa centro-orientale. La banca fornisce servizi finanziari a famiglie, imprese e istituzioni attraverso reti bancarie e piattaforme digitali. In Italia è tra i principali istituti di credito per volumi di attività, raccolta e finanziamenti alle imprese. UniCredit è quotata alla Borsa di Milano ed è guidata dall’amministratore delegato Andrea Orcel. Negli ultimi anni il gruppo ha concentrato parte delle attività su finanziamenti legati a transizione energetica, infrastrutture, digitalizzazione e operazioni di finanza strutturata.

Si è concluso il Forum Energia di Telenord, giunto alla terza edizione e organizzato da TN Events e Media all'Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast di Rapallo. Dopo una prima giornata ricca di spunti (leggi qui) a seconda giornata è stata dedicata al tema della cosiddetta “transizione gemella”, in cui digitalizzazione e innovazione tecnologica sono analizzate come leve decisive della trasformazione energetica. I lavori integrali disponibili sul sito telenord.it Nella relazione preliminare, Carlo Cavazzoni, Head of Hypercomputing Continuum di Leonardo, ha detto: "Sovranità e possesso dati, un mondo che di recente si è trovato a scontrare con l'alimentazione primaria, l'energia. Noi stiamo misurando il numero di neuroni dell'intelligenza artificiale e serve un computer adeguato. Si tratta di macchine energivore, i computer sono sempre più potenti ma bisogna alimentare il nuovo processore dell'IA. Serve un hardware adeguato al software. A Genova c'è il supercalcolatore Da Vinci, esempio virtuoso" Oltre l’Hardware: la “transizione gemella” - La Sessione 3 è stata dedicata al tema "Oltre l’Hardware: la “transizione gemella” - La digitalizzazione come acceleratore della transizione energetica", con la moderazione di Paola Girdinio, Presidente Start 4.0 – Professore Ordinario, Dipartimento DTEN, Università di Genova. "La transizione digitale può portare anche una riduzione dei consumi, si tratta di definirne i modi di introduzione" Sono intervenuti Mirco Junior Mariani, Managing Director TXT Industrial: "Lavoriamo con le imprese e le soluzioni tecnologiche riescono a efficientare l'operato delle aziende. Quando si tratta di aziende energivore puntiamo alla riduzione del consumo. Ci sono altri filoni come la manutenzione preventiva, che permette di evitare i blocchi della produzione. La sfida è concentrare i cosiddetti 'silos informativi' e occorre un cambiamento culturale da parte delle aziende"; Giorgio Allasia, Chief Operations Officer Engineering & Technology Transfer, Gruppo FOS: "Ci occupiamo di innovazione digitale e ingegneria, focalizzati in intelligenza artificiale. Abbiamo riscontri pratici: usare l'IA per un progettista può essere interessante. L'IA come supporto al progettista può avere il ruolo che il computer ebbe a suo tempo per il design. La responsabilità rimane del progettista. L'adozione diffusa dell'IA generativa è recente e stiamo affrontando i problemi che si prospettano"; Marta Bray, Studio Legale B-Right Lawyers: "Il regolamento su IA ha elementi di complessità, sia per gli operatori del diritto che per gli imprenditori. Una delle grandi sfide è proprio la formazione del personale, la creazione di figure competenti nell'azienda. Ma il punto focale del regolamento è l'aver invitato le imprese a cambiare prospettiva e forma mentis: IA non è solo una tecnologia, ma un metodo da inserire in una struttura delineata in grado di fornire vantaggio competitivo. Si promuovono sistemi di IA che siano sostenibili, in una prospettiva di sviluppo. Servirà anche un'evoluzione del quadro normativo, ipotesi allo studio dell'Unione Europea"; Mattia Zara, Head of Sales and Marketing Veos AI: "Sviluppiamo piattaforme IA da oltre dieci anni, il mercato energetico ha un grande stress sul cliente finale, dobbiamo lavorare per agevolare il cliente. I dati vengono utilizzati per gestire il business planning. Riusciamo a prendere tutti i dati conosciuti fino all'ultima frontiera del valore. In questo momento i dati analizzati. L'obiettivo è la consapevolezza energetica. Il passaggio dall'elaborazione dati al pdf-bolletta va seguito passo dopo passo"; Giovanni Ponti, Responsabile della Divisione per lo Sviluppo di Sistemi per l’Informatica e l’ICT, ENEA: "La transizione energetica è una tematica ineludibile. Al momento le applicazioni di maggior impatto riguardano il precasting di fotovoltaico ed eolico. Siamo arrivati a usare droni sui campi fotovoltaici per individuare criticità. Enea ha molti progetti sulla robotica attiva che interviene sulla componentistica di campo. Altra problematica è relativa al sistema idrogeno, altra frontiera dell'autosufficienza energetica. Stiamo lavorando per migliorare l'efficienza dei microprocessori, per ottimizzare il rapporto prestazioni-consumo. Il problema è che l'efficienza induce ad aumentare l'utilizzo e quindi il consumo. Case History - Il "Case History" su "AI Locale e Sovranità Nazionale - L’importanza dell’innovazione startup per l’uso dell’AI in infrastrutture critiche: il caso MYWAI" ha visto intervenire Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO MyWAI: "Parliamo di infrastrutture critiche che non sono tecnologiche ma accendono il Paese. Cosa vuol dire macchinari intelligenti? Oggi i mercati si fondano sul digital twinning e sugli interventi da remoto. Tre sono le innovazioni in corso: forza robotica, intelligenza prodotta nei data center e infrastuttura satellitare che rende sovrana la possibilità geopolitica di gestire dati su territori diffusi. Da qua a cinque anni tutti i macchinari saranno connessi con IA e lo scenario cambierà. Keynes aveva pronosticato che avremmo lavorato 10/15 ore alla settimana, ma forse noi vogliamo lavorare di più. La nostra azienda, basata nella splendida Sestri Levante anche in memoria di Guglielmo Marconi, fornisce informazioni utili per abilitare la manutenzione prognostica dei macchinari, la loro assicurazione parametrica, modelli pay-per-use fintech fino al monitoraggio del trasporto in condizioni di sicurezza". Resilienza energetica e cybersecurity - Il Panel 2, moderato come il prosieguo da Roberto Rasia, è stato dedicato a Resilienza energetica: la sfida della cyber security. Hanno preso la parola Ivan Monti, CISO Ansaldo Energia: "La responsabilità delle misure di sicurezza è condivisa e primaria nei CdA. Il lavoro di un Ciso è coordinare le attività finalizzate alla sicurezza. Oggi nessuna interlocuzione con i clienti accade senza una preventiva attività informativa. Siamo fornitori ma anche agenti essenziali di un servizio di sicurezza nazionale. La sfida è integrare le nuove norme nel ciclo produttivo. Tutto quello che verrà fatto dal dicembre 2027 dovrà avere determinate caratteristiche. Abbiamo messo in sicurezza la nostra fabbrica anche mediante la formazione del personale, la figura migliore è un ibrido tra ingegnere informatico ed esperto di cybersecurity"; Francesco Maria Gavotti, Studio Legale B-Right Lawyers: "Negli ultimi anni le disfunzioni sono aumentate, la normativa a volte complica a volte aiuta. Il problema è stato prevedere una responsabilità diretta e concreta, non è più possibile evitare la consapevolezza del rischio. I board aziendali sono responsabili della sicurezza. C'è un profilo di responsabilità degli amministratori, in base alla riforma delle SpA che prescrive adeguati assetti organizzativi. Quanto alle possibili lacune normative, la difficoltà è che il framework regolatorio ha una evoluzione continua e quindi occorre adeguarvisi. In molte situazioni serve un professionista legale per chiarire il quadro agli imprenditori"; Roberto Caviglia, Chief Business Unit YCyber, Gruppo HWG Sababa: "Avevamo infrastrutture robuste, poche centrali e tanta potenza. Ora vi è aumento di scambi di dati verso i sistemi centrali. Per avere una rete più dinamica occorre portare in giro i dati. Noi dobbiamo identificare i nostri sistemi nei punti di vulnerabilità. Episodi recenti si sono verificati in Polonia e in Spagna. Perciò noi esortiamo le aziende ad attivare sistemi di analisi del rischio. In tutto il ciclo ci deve essere una fase di gestione della sicurezza informativa, a partire dalla governance e dalla sua fisicità, un sistema fisico che manipola dati. Da qui si passa alla sicurezza della rete e alla sicurezza applicativa"; Alessandro Manfredini, Direttore Group Security e Cyber Defence A2A: "Ci siamo dati un modello organizzativo per garantire sicurezza energetica e possibilità di rimanere sul mercato, per erogare servizi essenziali di pubblica utilità. Se un sistema si blocca, mi porterà conseguenze negative, come nel caso del blocco di un sistema di distribuzione di energia elettrica a una comunità. La grande sfida è avere piena consapevolezza che la sicurezza sia un processo codificato e formalizzato. La security si declina negli ambiti del dominio fisico, logico, produttivo, deve essere un processo industriale come i processi di business. La difficoltà è adattare i processi generali alle singole società". "Underwater: la nuova frontiera della sicurezza energetica" - La sessione 4 ha avuto come tema "Underwater: la nuova frontiera della sicurezza energetica". Hanno preso la parola l'ammiraglio Giulio Marino Cappelletti, Direttore della Struttura Operativa del Polo Nazionale della Dimensione Subacquea: "La marina militare, nell'ambito della sicurezza del traffico mercantile, svolge molte attività. Sul fondo ci sono cavi di trasmissione dati, gasdotti ed elettrodotti, la rete vascolare del nostro mondo moderno. Possono essere danneggiati anche da un'ancora, la marina militare col progetto 'fondali sicuri' valuta in tempo reale eventuali danni. Nel buio assoluto sotto i 500 m di profondità, occorre un monitoraggio persistente e permanente delle infrastrutture subacquee. E' un vero salto tecnologico. I cavi sono il problema ma anche la soluzione, essendo utilizzabili come sensori. Naturalmente il gestore della sicurezza deve essere nazionale"; Andrea Cornetti, Presidente Unitirreno: "Abbiamo realizzato il progetto Unitirreno, operazione fatta in collaborazione con Unidata, da 90 milioni, ci ha permesso di realizzare infrastruttura digitale che collega la Sicilia alla Sardegna e a Genova e al nord. Crea una nuova via alternativa a quella tradizionale del traffico dati, che va a Marsiglia e nel centro Europa. I nostri investimenti consentono un doppio tipo di obiettivo: ritorno finanziario interessante e conseguenze industriali positive"; Andrea Savino, Vice President Unconventional Underwater Solutions Development, Fincantieri: "E' finito il tempo in cui tutto quello che stava sui fondali era considerato intrinsecamente sicuro. Droni subacquei possono accedere a profondità ingenti. Dobbiamo aggredire le 'aree grigie' e sviluppare soluzioni tecnologiche adattate all'ambiente marino, mettendo a sistema le tecnologie nuove e la capacità di analisi"; Stefano Meggio, Head of Sonsub-Defense, Saipem: "La gestione delle infrastrutture critiche subacquee parte dalla progettazione, non è solo poter disporre del tubo e della condotta ma servono le navi per posarle, Saipem ha posato praticamente tutti i cavi del Mediterraneo. Poi serve la necessità di mantenerle in attuazione e di fare ispezioni continuative, dotandosi di attrezzature robot in grado di lavorare alle profondità marine. Abbiamo addestrato personale specializzato e queste professionalità servono anche a capire le minacce e a contrastarle". Sessione 5 - Decarbonizzazione: lo shipping tra strategie e transizione energetica - Organizzata dal Propeller Club Port of Genoa, la cui presidente avvocato Giorgia Boi ha introdotto i lavori, la sessione dedicata a "Decarbonizzazione: lo shipping tra strategie e transizione energetica" ha visto una serie di interventi di alto profilo. Lorenzo Pollicardo, Technical & Environmental Director, SYBAss: "IMO, l'organizzazione marittima della sicurezza nasce nel 1948 in sede Onu, al tempo dei grandi incidenti marittimi. Ora la sicurezza non riguarda solo la navigazione ma anche sostenibilità e ambiente, con l'obiettivo di ridurre le emissioni nel segno della decarbonizzazione. Bisogna passare a combustibili innovativi, ovvero non fossili, e all'obiettivo concorrono tutti i componenti di IMO. Noi siamo stati ritenuti, come SYBAss, parte non attiva nell'inquinamento anche per la tecnologia avanzata". Simone Bruckner, Chief R&D Officer, Sanlorenzo S.p.A.: "Sull'onda delle normative emanate per le navi commerciali, abbiamo deciso di autoregolarci nella prospettiva della riduzione delle emissioni seguendo la falsariga delle norme sul naviglio commerciale. Quando si fa uno yacht con certe tecnologie si lavora anche nella ricerca applicata. Perciò siamo pronti ad adeguarci a ogni richiesta della clientela, abbiamo lavorato per esempio a un progetto basato su una propulsione a metanolo verde. Ci sono ancora passi normativi da fare ma siamo pronti a recepire ogni evoluzione". Emanuela Franchini, Head of New Fuels, F.lli Cosulich: "Ci sarà una pluralità di opzioni e abbiamo deciso di diversificare le nostre strategie, la nostra attività ci permette di sentire le esigenze degli armatori e quelle del mercato. Le navi sono sempre più a carburanti alternativi. La maggior parte delle navi va ancora a gasolio e anche gli ordini delle nuove navi sono a motorizzazione tradizionale. Noi abbiamo investito su bettoline a carburante alternativo, in grado di agevolare la transizione. Andrea Cogliolo, Senior Director Marine Excellence Centers, RINA: "La nostra attività di controllo e certificazione ci permette di avere una visione generale e una sinergia di competenze che possono essere utilizzate per le nuove apparecchiature e nuove soluzioni attualmente allo studio. C'è una normativa e occorre tenerne conto, le strategie di UE e IMO per zero emissioni nel 2050 devono essere rispettate. C'è indubbiamente una volontà di raggiungere l'obiettivo finale della decarbonizzazione, costruendo consenso attorno a un traguardo che cambierà la nostra società". Nicole Colla, Originator, Axpo Italia: "Abbiamo deciso di valorizzare alcune navi, siamo i primi operatori a effettuare bunkeraggio (rifornimento) ship to ship, lo facciamo a Genova in una strategia di collaborazione con tutti i soggetti coinvolti e interessati alla decarbonizzazione. La transizione è un percorso, il bio LG è un carburante di transizione nella prospettiva dell'obiettivo finale. Spicca tra i nostri progetti Green Pearl, la nuova nave per GNL e bio-GNL nel Mediterraneo". Transizione energetica e competitività: il ruolo dell’industria e del settore marittimo - Paolo Cuomo, Market Intelligence and Opportunity Identification di ENI, dialogando con Roberto Rasia ha detto: "Alla base di tutti gli scenari imprenditoriali e industriali del presente c'è la decarbonizzazione. Si parla di una pianificazione a cinque anni, è necessario capire la direzione in modo pragmatico, sempre con la sostenibilità come obiettivo. I territori non possono essere estranei alla questione. Il mondo della raffinazione è in costante trasformazione, sia per i mercati interni che per quelli internazionali. Abbiamo riconvertito per esempio le raffinerie di Marghera e Gela, convertendo il sito petrolchimico di Priolo. Anche Livorno è in fase di conversione, come Sannazzaro. L'offerta di Eni è in costante evoluzione, per arrivare all'obiettivo di un prodotto analogo al fossile ma di origine vegetale. Quale il ruolo dell'Italia nel futuro? Dobbiamo mantenere competitività e possiamo farlo attraverso l'innovazione e aggiornando i processi di formazione del business". Il fattore umano della transizione energetica e la sfida dello “skill gap” - La sesta e ultima sessione è stata moderata da Fabio Pasquarelli. Andrea Delucchi, Responsabile Area Sostenibilità e Innovazione Tecnologica di Confindustria Genova: "L'interesse del mondo delle imprese è sempre più alto sul tema della transizione. Molte imprese faticano a reperire competenze specifiche. Nel mondo di energia, gas, acqua e ambiente nel 2025 a fronte di 53mila nuovi ingressi di personale è stato difficile reperire competenze, anche per il numero ridotto di candidati e la scarsa competenza di alcuni. Perciò nella sezione risorse energetiche di Confindustria Genova c'è grande attenzione ed è nata l'idea di realizzare, con UNIGE, un master di secondo livello per la formazione di personale qualificato". Marco Fossa, professore DIME, Università di Genova: "Stiamo lavorando con molte realtà anche imprenditoriali, per colmare il gap formativo rispetto alle richieste delle aziende. Abbiamo peraltro come UNIGE un'offerta assai ampia. Il gap esiste perché la domanda è molto più elevata rispetto all'offerta. La transizione energetica e il passaggio alle rinnovabili sono temi molto sentiti anche dalle aziende e quindi ci sono le premesse per avviare un circolo virtuoso tra università e imprese". Elisabetta Arato, Presidente Ticass: "Il nostro obiettivo è collegare università, enti di ricerca e imprese per promuovere il trasferimento tecnologico, la sostenibilità e la ricerca nei settori ambientali ed energetici. Lavoriamo come ente gestore del Polo di ricerca e innovazione ligure 'Energia, ambiente e sviluppo sostenibile'. Il nostro approccio è più tecnico che industriale e stiamo pensando a inserire, con la Regione Liguria, il tema dell'agricoltura per aggiornarne le strategie".

Contship ha introdotto a maggio 2025 il primo trattore portuale elettrico nelle operazioni di banchina della La Spezia Container Terminal, aggiungendo un nuovo intervento al piano di innovazione tecnologica del terminal spezzino. Il veicolo sarà impiegato da Hannibal nelle attività di navettamento interno, con l’obiettivo di avviare una valutazione operativa sulla progressiva elettrificazione della flotta dei trattori di banchina. Il progetto riguarda le emissioni dirette generate dalle attività portuali, classificate come Scope 1 e s’inserisce nel percorso di decarbonizzazione avviato da Contship. La scelta del trattore elettrico risponde a una condizione operativa tipica dei terminal container: i mezzi lavorano su percorsi definiti, vicino alle stazioni di ricarica, e sono soggetti a frequenti fasi di avvio, frenata e manovra. In questo contesto, la frenata rigenerativa consente di recuperare parte dell’energia durante le fasi di rallentamento, mentre la trazione elettrica permette di ridurre i consumi nelle movimentazioni ripetute dei container. Questo esemplare ha il compito anche di verificare sul campo l’efficacia della tecnologia nelle normali condizioni di lavoro del terminal. Contship segnala che l’elettrificazione può incidere pure sull’ambiente operativo in banchina. La minore rumorosità e la riduzione delle vibrazioni migliorano le condizioni di lavoro degli operatori e possono contribuire a rendere più regolari le attività quotidiane di navettamento, soprattutto nelle fasi in cui i mezzi operano in prossimità di gru, piazzali e aree di trasferimento dei container. L’investimento è stato cofinanziato nell’ambito del progetto Green Ports Pnrr, attraverso un bando promosso e gestito dall’Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mar Ligure Orientale. L’iniziativa rientra nel programma Green Ports: interventi di energia rinnovabile ed efficienza energetica nei porti, sostenuto dall’Unione Europea con risorse Next Generation EU per ridurre le emissioni di anidride carbonica e migliorare la qualità dell’aria nelle città portuali. Denise Sofia, responsabile Esg di Contship, ha richiamato la strategia Moves that Matter, lanciata nel 2025, che definisce obiettivi misurabili per la decarbonizzazione delle attività del Gruppo in allineamento agli standard Sbti. L’iniziativa, secondo la società, mostra il ruolo della collaborazione tra pubblico e privato nello sviluppo di interventi orientati alla riduzione delle emissioni.

Si estás pensando en comprar un vehículo todoterreno con buenas aptitudes off-road la cosa no pinta bien si tu presupuesto es ajustado. Para muchos modelos como el que hoy te traemos se han vuelto en la única alternativapara no tener que hipotecarse en un vehículo con reductoray ciertas garantías cuando sales del asfalto. El EVO Cross4 es uno de los vehículos con tracción total a las cuatro ruedas y reductoramás asequibles que puedes adquirir. Pensado como vehículo de trabajo, es válido también para un uso lúdico si así lo deseas al contar con unos mínimos en equipamiento que garantizan un buen confort y un motor diésel que cunde más de lo que podría parecer al principio. La base para desarrollar el EVO Cross4 es el JAC T8 Pro en una evolución anterior a la actual. Esto implica contar con unbloque diésel de dos litros y solo 136 CVque puede parecer escaso en ciertas situaciones pero que se muestra voluntarioso. Se comercializa solo asociado a la tracción total a las cuatro ruedas con reductora, y a una caja de cambios manual con seis velocidades. Según indica la marca el EVO Cross4 es capaz de alcanzar unavelocidad máxima de 150 km/h y declara un consumo medio de 11,0 L/100, con unas emisiones de 288 g/km de CO2. Con un peso en vacío de 2.040 kg y una longitud superior a los cinco metros, son datos más o menos razonables aunque lógicamente otros pick ups parecidos ya cuentan con mecánicas más potentes y eficientes. El nivel de equipamiento incluido en el EVO Cross4 se puede considerar completo dado su precio y si lo consideramos un vehículo comercial. En seguridad por ejemplo cuenta conluces diurnas por LEDs, control de crucero, sensores de parking delanteros y traseros, cámara de visión 360, faros antiniebla, alarma antirrobo, etc. Otros elementos de serie son el aire acondicionado,sistema multimedia con pantalla táctil de 9 pulgadas, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, bluetooth, puerto USB, radio DAB, arranque por botón, acceso sin llave, llantas de aleación ligera de 18 pulgadas, volante multifunción forrado en piel, ordenador de viaje, cuatro elevalunas y espejos eléctricos, etc. El precio recomendado con promociones y sin impuestos para empresas delEVO Cross4 se ha fijado en los 25.400 €(con transporte y pintura metalizada). Para los que necesitan conocer el precio con IVA, sube hasta los 30.734 € que sigue siendo una tarifa bastante contenida.

Nell'articolo La luce si riflette sulle facciate bianche, il profumo di salsedine arriva anche a diversi chilometri dall’acqua, tra palmeti, saline rosa e grattacieli che sembrano spuntare direttamente dalla sabbia. La Costa Blanca è questo: una lunga striscia di Mediterraneo dove in pochi chilometri si passa dalle spiagge urbane piene di vita alle calette protette da scogliere, dai villaggi marinari ai castelli arabi aggrappati alla roccia, con una cucina di riso, pesce e dolci di mandorla che riempie tavole e terrazze fino a tardi. Clima, periodi migliori e come organizzare il viaggio Alicante La Costa Blanca si estende per oltre 240 chilometri lungo la provincia di Alicante, con un clima mediterraneo che regala più di 300 giorni di sole all’anno. In estate le giornate sono lunghe e calde, il mare raggiunge temperature piacevoli e le spiagge si riempiono di famiglie, gruppi di amici e viaggiatori di tutta Europa. È anche il momento delle grandi feste popolari, come i Falò di San Giovanni ad Alicante e le celebrazioni dei Mori e Cristiani, che trasformano molte località in palcoscenici all’aperto con costumi, musica e fuochi d’artificio. Da giugno a settembre l’atmosfera è vivacissima ma il caldo può rendere stancante esplorare i centri storici nelle ore centrali del giorno. In questo periodo gli alloggi sono più cari e le zone più famose tendono a riempirsi presto, sia in spiaggia sia nei parcheggi vicino alle calette. La primavera (soprattutto aprile e maggio) e l’autunno (ottobre e, spesso, buona parte di novembre) sono i mesi più equilibrati per chi vuole unire relax in spiaggia e visite. Le temperature sono gradevoli, l’acqua del mare resta spesso adatta a fare il bagno e la pressione turistica cala: si cammina meglio nei centri storici, si percorrono i sentieri costieri senza soffrire il caldo e si riesce a trovare posto in ristoranti e chiringuitos con meno anticipo. L’inverno sulla Costa Blanca è sorprendentemente mite, con temperature medie attorno ai 17 gradi: un periodo interessante per chi ama trekking, bici e visite culturali, e vuole sfuggire al freddo del Nord Europa. Il mare è fresco, ma le passeggiate lungomare al sole del mezzogiorno hanno un sapore quasi primaverile. Per arrivare, il punto di accesso principale è l’Aeroporto di Alicante-Elche (ALC), collegato a molte città italiane anche con voli low-cost. Dall’aeroporto si raggiungono i centri principali con servizi di autobus e transfer privati, ma chi vuole esplorare in modo più libero trova nel noleggio auto la soluzione più pratica, soprattutto per le calette meno servite. Un’alternativa comoda è il TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante, la linea leggera che corre lungo la costa da Alicante a Dénia, passando per località come El Campello, Benidorm e Altea. È una risorsa preziosa per chi preferisce spostarsi senza guidare, magari combinando mare e visite giornaliere a più città. Città, borghi e paesaggi: dove si costruisce l’itinerario Costa Blanca La forza della Costa Blanca sta nel contrasto tra costa e entroterra: in poche decine di minuti si passa dall’orizzonte piatto delle saline a montagne che precipitano verso il mare, da quartieri storici fatti di vicoli stretti ai lungomare dove il passo rallenta quasi da solo. Alicante è il punto di partenza naturale. Il Castello di Santa Bárbara, che domina la città dal monte Benacantil, regala una lettura immediata del territorio: da un lato la baia, il porto e la Playa del Postiguet proprio sotto le mura; dall’altro i quartieri moderni che si allungano verso l’entroterra. LEGGI ANCHE: LE SPIAGGE PIÙ BELLE DELLA SPAGNA Scendendo, il quartiere di Santa Cruz si arrampica con scale e vicoli tra case bianche e balconi pieni di fiori, mentre l’Explanada de España – il lungomare pavimentato con mosaici di marmo colorati – invita a camminare all’ombra delle palme. Nei dintorni si alternano musei come il MACA e chiese storiche, e appena fuori dal centro si apre l’ampia Playa de San Juan, amata anche dai locali. Benindorm Pochi chilometri più a nord, Benidorm appare con il suo skyline di grattacieli fronte mare, raro in Europa per densità e altezza. Le due lunghe spiagge, Levante e Poniente, sono separate dal promontorio del centro storico, dove il Balcón del Mediterráneo funge da terrazza naturale sulle due baie. Qui la vita non si esaurisce con il tramonto: locali, bar e club alimentano una movida che dura fino a notte fonda. Benidorm è anche una base per famiglie, grazie alla vicinanza di Terra Mítica, grande parco tematico ispirato alle civiltà del Mediterraneo, e ai parchi acquatici e faunistici dei dintorni. Chi cerca atmosfere più raccolte trova in Altea un’altra faccia della Costa Blanca. Il centro storico sale verso la chiesa di Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, riconoscibile per le cupole di maiolica blu e bianca. Intorno alla piazza si snodano stradine acciottolate, botteghe di artigianato, gallerie e piccoli ristoranti. Il lungomare corre parallelo a una spiaggia di ciottoli con acqua trasparente, ideale per passeggiare dopo cena. Calpe A Calpe il paesaggio cambia ancora: il protagonista è il Peñón de Ifach, un massiccio calcareo che si alza in verticale sopra il mare e che è anche parco naturale. Un sentiero, in parte ripido e roccioso, porta a punti panoramici da cui si vede gran parte della costa. Sotto la montagna, i Baños de la Reina, antiche installazioni di epoca romana, raccontano un passato legato al sale e alla lavorazione del pesce. Intorno, lunghe spiagge come La Fossa e Arenal-Bol alternano sabbia chiara, acqua limpida e passeggiate. Nel centro, murales e scale dipinte aggiungono colore, mentre nel quartiere modernista spicca La Muralla Roja, edificio reso celebre anche da serie TV e shooting fotografici. Villajoyosa A sud di Benidorm, Villajoyosa colpisce per il suo fronte mare: una fila di case dei pescatori dai colori vivaci, dal giallo senape all’azzurro intenso, che si affacciano sulla sabbia. Il centro storico conserva mura, vicoli stretti e case alte, e poco lontano si trova la storica fabbrica di cioccolato Valor, che propone visite e degustazioni: un buon diversivo nelle giornate più ventose. Tra le spiagge spicca Playa el Paraíso, più tranquilla rispetto alle località più grandi. Più a nord, Dénia unisce porto, castello e gastronomia. Il castello d’origine islamica domina la città, con una vista che arriva fino al Parco Naturale del Montgó. Ai suoi piedi si estende il quartiere di Baix La Mar, fatto di case basse e piazzette dove i tavolini occupano gran parte dello spazio. La costa si divide tra le lunghe spiagge sabbiose di Les Marines, a nord, e la zona rocciosa di Les Rotes, con calette ideali per snorkeling. Dénia, riconosciuta dall’UNESCO come Città Creativa della Gastronomia, è un riferimento per chi viaggia con l’idea di sperimentare ristoranti e taverne di pesce. Javea Poco più in là, Jávea (Xàbia) offre un mosaico di paesaggi: il centro storico interno con edifici gotici come la Chiesa di San Bartolomé, l’area del porto, dove il pesce arriva direttamente dalle barche, e la lunga passeggiata dell’Arenal, più contemporanea, piena di locali. Sulla costa si aprono cale dal colore tropicale come Cala Granadella, inserita più volte tra le spiagge più apprezzate della Spagna, e Cala del Portitxol, riconoscibile dalle porte blu delle antiche case dei pescatori. Alle spalle si innalza il Montgó, con sentieri che collegano punti panoramici e zone boscose. Tra Jávea e Calpe, le località di Moraira e Teulada sono un buon compromesso per chi ama mare e campagna. Moraira mantiene ancora il ritmo del villaggio di pescatori, con case bianche basse, un piccolo castello del XVIII secolo e calette come El Portet, che sembrano piscine naturali nei giorni di mare calmo. Teulada, nell’entroterra, ha un centro in pietra con stradine e case signorili intorno alla chiesa-fortezza di Santa Catalina, interessante per chi vuole vedere com’era la vita lontano dalla costa. Elche Dall’altra parte della provincia, Elche (Elx) porta un pezzo di Nord Africa in piena Spagna, grazie al suo palmeto monumentale riconosciuto dall’UNESCO: il Palmeral, il più esteso d’Europa, crea un reticolo di palme da dattero che si intrecciano con la città. Dentro questo sistema di giardini, l’Huerto del Cura è uno spazio particolarmente curato, con percorsi ombreggiati e piante esotiche. Elche è nota anche per il Mistero di Elx, dramma sacro medievale rappresentato ogni agosto nella Basilica di Santa Maria, e per il Museo de Pusol, che raccoglie tradizioni e memorie della vita contadina. A pochi chilometri, le spiagge di El Carabassí, vicino a Santa Pola, permettono di tornare rapidamente al mare. Nell’entroterra montuoso, Guadalest è uno dei villaggi più scenografici della zona. Sorge su uno sperone di roccia e si raggiunge salendo tra vicoli e scalini fino al Castello di San José, d’origine musulmana, a cui si accede passando per un tunnel scavato nella roccia. Dall’alto lo sguardo corre sulla valle e sul bacino artificiale sottostante, con l’acqua color verde intenso che contrasta con il paesaggio roccioso. Spiagge e calette: dove stendere l’asciugamano (e dove portare la maschera) Spiagge Costa Blanca La Costa Blanca è uno dei volti più rappresentativi del primato spagnolo nelle Bandiere Blu 2026: la Comunità Valenciana guida la classifica nazionale, con 151 spiagge certificate e numerosi porti turistici premiati per qualità, sicurezza e gestione ambientale. Sulla costa di Alicante questo si traduce in una rete capillare di arenili con acque limpide, servizi curati e attenzione all’accessibilità. Le spiagge urbane come la Playa del Postiguet ad Alicante, proprio ai piedi del castello, o la profonda Playa de San Juan, sono perfette per chi vuole scendere dal tram o dall’autobus con l’asciugamano in mano e trovare subito docce, passerelle, bar e ristoranti. Qui il ritmo è quello della città: famiglie, giovani, sport sulla sabbia e lunghe passeggiate serali. Benidorm gioca la carta delle sue grandi semilune di sabbia: Levante, sempre animata, con stabilimenti e attività acquatiche, e Poniente, leggermente più tranquilla e con un passeggio moderno pieno di palme. L’acqua degrada dolcemente, particolare che piace molto alle famiglie con bambini. Le località più raccolte alternano sabbia e ciottoli. Ad Altea, le spiagge di La Roda e Cap Blanch sono bande di ciottoli chiari lambiti da acqua calma e trasparente, perfette per chi preferisce tranquillità e giornate passate tra lettura e bagni lenti. A Villajoyosa, Playa el Paraíso propone una striscia di ciottoli e sabbia chiara, con mare pulito e un’atmosfera più rilassata rispetto alle grandi città. Per chi ama nuotare in mezzo alle rocce, fare snorkeling e scendere in acqua con le scarpette, la costa nord è una miniera. A Jávea, Cala Granadella è un piccolo anfiteatro di sassolini bianchi racchiuso da pareti di roccia, con un mare che passa dall’azzurro chiaro all’indaco a seconda della profondità. Poco distante, Cala del Portitxol unisce acqua turchese, rocce e le celebri porte blu delle case che affacciano sulla baia, creando uno scenario molto fotografato. Ancora più appartata è Cala Ambolo, raggiungibile tramite un sentiero, dove la sensazione è quella di trovarsi quasi in un fiordo mediterraneo nel momento in cui si entra in acqua e si vedono i fondali sotto i piedi. Moraira offre uno dei tratti più gradevoli per chi cerca tranquillità, con la Playa del Portet che disegna una piccola insenatura a forma di conchiglia: l’acqua è spesso calma, il fondale sabbioso e l’intorno dominato da case bianche e vegetazione mediterranea. Più a sud, verso Santa Pola, la spiaggia di El Carabassí è interessante per chi ama paesaggi meno costruiti. Una fascia di dune sabbiose e vegetazione spontanea separa la strada dal mare, con passerelle in legno che proteggono l’ambiente dunale e conducono alla sabbia. Il vento, in alcuni giorni, la rende meta di chi pratica sport come il kite surf. Un capitolo a parte merita l’isola di Tabarca, l’unica isola abitata della Comunità Valenciana, raggiungibile in barca da Alicante e Santa Pola. Circondata da una riserva marina protetta, è un paradiso per chi vuole mettere maschera e pinne e osservare i fondali ricchi di posidonia e pesci. Il piccolo borgo fortificato, con mura, vicoli e case chiare, racconta storie di pirati e pescatori. A tavola si prova il caldero, piatto tipico a base di riso e pesce servito in due tempi, spesso preparato nei ristoranti che affacciano direttamente sull’acqua. Sapori, natura e esperienze: cosa rende diversa la Costa Blanca Costa Blanca Il legame tra mare, campagna e cucina è uno degli aspetti più interessanti della Costa Blanca. Qui il riso è protagonista, cotto in teglie ampie e basse che arrivano al tavolo ancora fumanti. Oltre alla celebre paella, vanno cercati piatti come l’arroz a banda, dove il riso viene cotto nel brodo di pesce e servito separatamente dal fondo di cottura, dal sapore intenso e sapido, e l’arroz negro, colorato dal nero di seppia che tinge i chicchi e dona una consistenza cremosa. Nei ristoranti di mare compaiono frequentemente gamberi rossi di Dénia, crostacei dalla carne dolce e soda, serviti spesso semplicemente alla piastra per esaltarne il sapore. I salazones, pesci conservati sotto sale come tonno e sgombro, raccontano una tradizione antica di trasformazione del pescato e sono perfetti accompagnati da pomodori maturi e pane. Non mancano stufati di pesce serviti in pentole di terracotta, piatti caldi che mettono insieme patate, pesce e spezie leggere. Chi ama i dolci trova nella zona di Jijona e Alicante la patria del turrón: barrette a base di mandorle e miele, prodotte in versioni morbide e dure, che in inverno riempiono vetrine e mercati, ma si trovano facilmente tutto l’anno. Da provare insieme ai vini locali, in particolare il Moscatel, dai profumi floreali e fruttati che si sposano con dessert e formaggi erborinati. Oltre al mare, la Costa Blanca regala paesaggi montuosi sorprendenti. La Sierra de Bernia è una catena montuosa che s’innalza dietro la costa con sentieri panoramici: lungo i percorsi si incontrano rocce chiare, ginestre, pini e, in alcuni tratti, viste che abbracciano contemporaneamente le cime e la linea blu del mare. È una destinazione interessante per chi ama camminare e fermarsi a fotografare il contrasto tra montagne e Mediterraneo. Non lontano da Benidorm, le Fuentes del Algar sono una serie di cascate e pozze naturali alimentate da acqua fresca. Qui il suono dell’acqua che scende tra le rocce si mescola alle voci di chi fa il bagno nelle giornate calde, in un ambiente dove la vegetazione cresce rigogliosa grazie all’umidità. Chi viaggia con bambini o adolescenti trova nella zona di Benidorm uno dei poli ludici principali della costa: Terra Mítica propone montagne russe, spettacoli e attrazioni ispirate a Egitto, Grecia, Roma, Penisola Iberica e Isole del Mediterraneo, mentre parchi come Aqualandia e Mundomar aggiungono scivoli d’acqua e incontri con animali marini. È un modo diverso di vivere la Costa Blanca, alternando giornate di mare a giornate “di parco”. Per muoversi tra tutte queste esperienze, la strategia più intelligente è scegliere una o due basi e costruire da lì le escursioni. Ad esempio, si può dedicare qualche giorno ad Alicante o Benidorm per combinare città, vita serale e parchi, spostandosi poi verso Altea, Calpe o Jávea per vivere ritmi più lenti tra borghi storici, calette e percorsi nel verde. Chi ama le atmosfere cittadine e i palmeti può inserire Elche come gita giornaliera, mentre Guadalest e la Sierra de Bernia completano il quadro per chi ama guardare la costa dall’alto, non solo dal lettino in riva al mare.

The MSI Raider 16 Max HX is capable and has a great display to game on, but its hardware comes at a cost without bringing commensurate performance gains over the competition. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today MSI’s new Raider 16 Max HX is geared up to be the company’s most powerful 16-inch laptop, and it has the hardware to deliver. Boasting a new Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus at its heart, RTX 50-series graphics, and 300 watts of combined power, it has the potential to deliver. It also touts a killer display. But leading the pack proves to be a challenge even with the right kind of hardware to do it, and that hardware drives up the price considerably, making theLenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10a better bet for most gamers. The RTX 5090 adds a lot to the price tag, but won’t do much in all gaming scenarios. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX has just a few configurations. They all share the specifications above, but differ in their graphics processors. The system starts out at $2,999 for an RTX 5070 Ti configuration. That bumps up to $3,499 for an RTX 5080. Our test configuration bumps to $4,099 for an RTX 5090 and also upgrades to Windows 11 Pro instead of Home. At the time of writing, these models were available from Micro Center except for the 5090 version. There, the prices showed some uncertainty. Micro Center’s list prices matched what MSI had presented us except for on our test configuration, which was raised to $4,299. That said, all systems showed significant discounts of $1,000-$1,300, which would change their value considerably. It’s unclear how long such discounts will be available, but they’d certainly help the MSI Raider 16 Max HX stand a chance against the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10. Foundry / Mark Knapp Like most 16-inch gaming laptops, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is something of a tank. But it’s not altogether egregious. The system is wide, but not more than an inch wider than it needs to be to fit its display. Front to back, the laptop also avoids going overboard with an extensive rear end as seen on many recent gaming laptops. Alas, it’s thick, coming in at 1.14 inches, and that’s before accounting for the laptop’s rubber feet, which push it up toward 1.5 inches. That thickness comes with some benefits, at least. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX provides access to the memory and storage through a small panel underneath, and there’s a free M.2 slot ready for upgrading the storage. The thick design also allows for some serious cooling, which lets the MSI Raider 16 Max HX run its GPU at up to 175W and the CPU at up to 125W at the same time. Cool air gets pulled into the MSI Raider 16 Max HX by three fans through a series of grilles on the bottom and through two small ports above the keyboard. That air exhausts out two grilles on the sides and three on the rear. With the wide exhaust and space for large fans, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is able to run under a heavy load while keeping fan noise below 50dBa from a typical arm’s length — a sound level I was able to verify. To be clear, that’s still noisy, but not quite blaring. While the build has its merits in terms of the performance it enables, there’s a little bit less to love about it beyond that. The bottom of the chassis is made of a cheap-feeling, rough plastic while the keyboard deck is a smoother plastic. The display lid is metal, at least. There’s not much keyboard deck flex, but the display wiggles whenever I type, and its glossy finish makes that wiggling more apparent. There’s plenty for the RGB lovers, though. An RGB light bar spans the front edge of the laptop, and that combines with an RGB keyboard and shield logo on the lid. The underside and lid exhibit some gamer aesthetics, but aren’t gaudy. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX includes a massive, 400W power brick that weighs almost three pounds on its own. Combined with the laptop’s 5.85-pound weight, it’s not the most portable option out there. But, you can opt to charge via USB-C on-the-go and use a smaller charger, you just won’t get full power. Foundry / Mark Knapp The MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s keyboard isn’t quite a masterpiece. While I was able to get up to 108 words-per-minute typing in Monkeytype with 98 percent accuracy, I still feel a little discomfort as the keycaps aren’t well stabilized and they lack much contour. I find that I struggle to keep centered on the keys and can wiggle or slip off the edges and hit neighbors, especially as I’m typing faster and faster. And that’s just basic typing. Doing more navigation and editing becomes something of a pain. The number pad is both cramped and laid out in a non-traditional way. For both data entry and calculation, it will be a major readjustment. Meanwhile, the arrow keys are slightly shrunken and cut into the right shift key’s space, which I find leads to lots of accidental presses. The keyboard does get per-key RGB lighting, but that only makes it prettier, not much more functional. The trackpad is decently sizable and has a good, smooth surface. But it doesn’t feel all that great otherwise. It has a cheap-feeling hardware click and even a bit of rattle when simply tapping to click. Foundry / Mark Knapp The MSI Raider 16 Max HX has a wonderful display for gaming. It’s a sharp 2560×1600 display with an OLED panel that simply looks fantastic. The screen offers perfect contrast and can hit very high brightness levels. In general, it’ll top out at 500 nits, but with HDR content I saw it hit as high as 614 nits for a full white window and 1,100 nits for a smaller 10 percent window. It provides that brightness and contrast alongside 99 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and 100 percent coverage of the sRGB color space. It’s even accurate with a max dE1976 of 1.74, so you could safely use it for creative color work. That excellent quality is matched by a 240Hz refresh rate that makes games look wonderfully smooth. It’s very similar to the display on the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 Gen 10, but you won’t find G-Sync or VRR support on this built-in display, whereas Lenovo had it. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s speaker setup is less impressive but respectable. It combines two tweeters and two woofers for a fuller sound. It lacks deep bass depth and ends up with a mid-heavy presentation. There’s a bit of undue sibilance from the setup at full volume that’s not entirely pleasant. For casual listening, they’re good enough and do a decent job covering up some of the system’s modest fan noise. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s webcam leaves plenty to be desired. It can look OK in bright lighting conditions, such as when facing a bright window. But in anything less, it really struggles to get adequate light and this results in a very noisy image. Still, it has its perks. Namely, it has Windows Hello facial recognition for quick and easy sign-ins. The mics aren’t any more special. They capture my voice fairly well, though with a good deal of room echo in the mix. They don’t cancel out all noises, such as clapping, but they do a good job with droning noises like fans or a lawn mower outside. Foundry / Mark Knapp The MSI Raider 16 Max HX provides great connectivity. It includes a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports to handle all sorts of high-transmission needs, including USB PD 3.1 and DisplayPort Alt Mode, though that power delivery tops out at 140W, so won’t be enough to keep the laptop running at full tilt. Those ports are on the left side along with a full-size SD card reader. The right side includes two USB-A 10Gbps ports and a headset jack. The rear adds even more with an extra 10Gbps USB-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port, 2.5GbE. The laptop’s dedicated charging port is also in the back and looks confusingly similar to a USB-A port. The system offers tri-band Wi-Fi 7 connectivity as well, and this has been fast and stable in practice. Bluetooth lags a little behind with Bluetooth 5.4, though. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX is an extreme performance machine, but as with many technologies, it faces diminishing returns. And it can struggle with the confines of a laptop from time to time. Of course, for regular office work, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is beyond capable. It soars in PCMark 10, showing that it has what it takes to deal with spreadsheets, webconferencing, as well as more creative tasks like photo and video editing. While the score over 10,000 points is impressive, most laptops over even just 5,000 will be fast enough for basic office use. The CPU performance of the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is also impressive, but highlights the importance of power profiles. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus isn’t fully unleashed in the default Balanced power plan, which caps it at 45W. We can see it lagging behind the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10’s and Alienware 16 Area-51 AW30’s Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX in raw performance in Cinebench R24, but when the MSI Raider 16 Max HX swaps over to its Apex Mode, granting the CPU up to 125W of power, it quickly leaps well ahead of the competition. The power allowance continues to play a big role in the returns the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is able to offer in graphical benchmarks as well. In 3DMark’s demanding Port Royal test, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX leads the pack with its RTX 5090, but it has a fairly narrow margin over the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10’s RTX 5080 until it swaps over to Apex Mode. Even though the Balanced mode allows the GPU to run at its full 175 watts, the CPU still plays a role in letting the GPU reach its full potential. While synthetic benchmarks let the MSI Raider 16 Max HX ultimately lead the way, actual gaming proves a slightly different story. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX is fast, but it’s not stunning next to the crowd. Its RTX 5090 narrowly lets it beat the Maingear Ultimate 18, and it needs Apex Mode to surmount the Alienware 16 Area-51. Worse still, even with Apex Mode, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX lags behind the cheaper, sleeker Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10. It’s a similar struggle inMetro Exodus, which continues to stymie even extreme performance hardware like this with its demanding graphics. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX can lead the pack, but it’s a very narrow victory. The RTX 5090 adds alotto the price tag, but won’t do much in all gaming scenarios. Even inCyberpunk 2077, the field is tight for the MSI Raider 16 Max HX. This game is practically a showcase of Nvidia hardware capabilities, but the MSI Raider 16 Max HX can’t leverage its RTX 5090 to come out very far ahead of the Lenovo. It does highlight the importance of power and cooling when compared to the RTX 5090-powered Razer Blade 16, though. It’s only with ray-tracing enabled that the MSI Raider 16 Max HX gets a significant lead of close to 10-20 percent, but that still leaves it at 44fps normally and 47fps in Apex Mode. Overall the performance of the MSI Raider 16 Max HX is excellent, but it’s not exceptional. A higher-class of hardware should come with a higher-tier of performance, but at many turns, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX at best provides a marginal benefit and occasionally fails to come out ahead at all. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX makes a surprising turn when it comes to battery life. It’s very good about disabling the GPU when running on battery power (though you can override this if needed), and that leads to helpful power savings. This was enough to help the MSI Raider 16 Max HX run for a little over eight hours in our offline video playback test. That got it well ahead of most competitors save the Razer Blade 16, which struggled terribly in performance benchmarks. In active use, the power usage isn’t egregious either. I found the system regularly holding up for about five to six hours of runtime browsing the web and drafting articles. It’s not competing with thin-and-lights, but it’s solid for a gaming laptop. The MSI Raider 16 Max HX has some good things going for it. For a system packing such high-end components, it’s surprising that it isn’t bulkier. It has an excellent display and robust connectivity options, but that isn’t quite enough to set it apart from the pack. And while it can deliver extreme performance that lets it pull ahead of its competition, it doesn’t consistently outperform more affordable machines running on lower-tier hardware. Its leads are often quite narrow. As it stands, the MSI Raider 16 Max HX’s edge may be confined to specific use cases such as AI applications, where its specific hardware can shine. But as a gaming workhorse, there’s better value elsewhere. Mark is a freelance tech writer and hardware reviewer.

La società armatrice d’Amico International Shipping S.A. inizia bene il 2026 stando ai risultati dei primi tre mesi durante i quali l’azienda ha generato ricavi totali pari a 67,6 milioni di dollari (in crescita rispetto ai 64,1 milioni dello stesso trimestre 2025), un Ebitda di 40,9 milioni di dollari (da 34,4 milioni) e un risultato netto positivo di 27,5 milioni di dollari. L’azienda del gruppo d’Amico Società di navigazione ha inoltre fatto sapere di aver ottenuto una media spot giornaliera di noli per le sue tanker di 32.264 dollari nel primo trimestre del 2026, rispetto ai 21.154 dollari realizzati nello stesso periodo del 2025, pari ad un incremento del 19% trimestre-su-trimestre e del 53% anno-su-anno. L’azienda ha inoltre coperto il 62,2% dei propri giorni nave del periodo attraverso contratti time-charter, a una media giornaliera time charter equivalent di 23.001 dollari. Il nolo medio complessivo (comprendente sia i contratti spot che quelli time-charter) è stato pari a 26.505 dollari nei primi tre mesi dell’anno (rispetto ai 22.507 dollari dello stesso periodo un anno prima). Carlos Balestra di Mottola, amministratore delegato di d’Amico International Shipping commenta, spiega che “nel corso del primo trimestre del 2026, gli sviluppi geopolitici hanno continuato a incidere in modo significativo sui mercati globali dell’energia e del trasporto marittimo di petrolio, generando sostanziali inefficienze e dislocazioni. I noli e i valori delle navi, che avevano già registrato un rafforzamento nel corso del 2025 e all’inizio del 2026, hanno subito un’ulteriore accelerazione a seguito dell’inizio delle ostilità in Iran”. Più in particolare, “la guerra in Iran e le conseguenti interruzioni dei flussi attraverso lo Stretto di Hormuz hanno avuto un impatto significativo sui mercati delle navi cisterna. Prima del conflitto nel 2025, i transiti giornalieri attraverso lo Stretto ammontavano a circa 15 milioni di barili al giorno di greggio e 5 milioni di barili al giorno di prodotti raffinati (pari a circa il 19% dell’offerta globale di petrolio). L’elevato numero di navi bloccate all’interno del Golfo Persico ha determinato una significativa contrazione della capacità di trasporto, mentre il calo dei volumi transitando lo Stretto ha generato gravi dislocazioni della flotta e una profonda riconfigurazione delle rotte commerciali. Di conseguenza, i noli hanno subito un forte incremento, raggiungendo livelli eccezionalmente elevati su diverse rotte, sostenuti dall’allungamento delle distanze di viaggio, dalla limitata disponibilità di navi, da una riduzione dell’efficienza della flotta dovuta all’aumento della congestione portuale e da un aumento della percentuale dei giorni navigati in zavorra, nonché dall’aumento dei margini di raffinazione, che ha creato favorevoli opportunità di arbitraggio”. L’a.d. aggiunge poi che, “qualora il conflitto non dovesse protrarsi a lungo, è probabile come, una volta concluso e con la riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz, si generi un mercato particolarmente forte. I rilasci da parte dell’IEA di circa 400 milioni di barili dalle riserve strategiche (su un totale di circa 1,2 miliardi di barili), a un ritmo di circa 2,0 milioni di barili al giorno, insieme al reindirizzamento dei flussi di greggio attraverso oleodotti da parte di Arabia Saudita ed Emirati Arabi Uniti per ulteriori 4,0 milioni di barili al giorno, nonché la riduzione della domanda derivante dai prezzi più elevati del petrolio e dalle misure governative volte a contenerne i consumi, hanno ridotto il deficit di offerta di petrolio, che tuttavia rimane significativo e ha già comportato una forte riduzione delle scorte commerciali di petrolio. Tali scorte dovranno essere ricostituite, sia quelle commerciali sia quelle strategiche, e, a seconda dell’evoluzione del conflitto, verosimilmente a livelli superiori rispetto a quelli precedenti, a causa dell’aumento del rischio percepito di ulteriori guerre in Iran e di una maggiore consapevolezza delle vulnerabilità economiche ad essi associate. Ciò dovrebbe sostenere la domanda di petroliere per diversi mesi dopo la fine del conflitto”. Al di là del conflitto iraniano, diversi altri fattori hanno sostenuto e dovrebbero continuare a sostenere i mercati per il trasporto marittimo di petrolio. La guerra in Ucraina ed il relativo regime sanzionatorio continuano a rimodellare strutturalmente i flussi del mercato, reindirizzando le esportazioni russe su rotte più lunghe, mentre l’Europa si approvvigiona da aree geografiche più distanti. Queste dinamiche hanno sostenuto la domanda misurata in tonnellate-miglia, mentre il crescente numero di navi soggette a sanzioni ha ridotto la disponibilità effettiva della flotta, contribuendo a condizioni di mercato favorevoli. Nei giorni scorsi, intervenendo durante il Blue Capital Forum, Balestra di Mottola aveva detto a proposito dell’andamento attuale del liquid bulk: “Oggi abbiamo 28 navi controllate ma ne abbiamo vendute 5 proprio per beneficiare di un mercato molto favorevole e al tempo stesso abbiamo reinvestito per ringiovanire la nostra flotta. Questo ciclo positivo è durato molto più di quanto ci aspettavamo all’inizio. Abbiamo ancora una nave non-eco design nella nostra flotta che puntiamo a vendere probabilmente entro la fine dell’anno, mentre le altre navi ‘Eco’ le terremo anche oltre i 15 anni d’età”. A proposito del piano d’investimenti in costruzione, l’a.d. dell’azienda ha infine ricordate che sono 10 le nuove navi in ordine: “4 LR previste in consegna l’anno prossimo e altre 6 nel 2029. Speriamo che la scelta di investire su navi costruite in Cina (abbiamo scelto quelli che secondo noi sono i due migliori cantieri) sia stata buona ma lo scopriremo solo quando ci verranno consegnate”.

Malaysia’s owner and operator of offshore floating and energy-related maritime solutions and services MISC Group, a member of the Petronas Group of Companies, has unveiled the naming of its two new-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers (LNGC), strengthening its partnership with SeaRiver Maritime (SRM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S.-headquartered ExxonMobil. While announcing the naming of its new LNG carriers,Seri DianandSeri Dayang, on May 7, 2026, for SeaRiver Maritime, MISC explained that the 174,000 cbm vessel duo was constructed by Hanwha Ocean. These ships are equipped with smart, energy-efficient technologies, including the intelligent control by exhaust recycling (ICER) system and an enhanced cargo containment system with reduced boil-off rates to improve efficiency and support safer operations. The naming ceremony was graced byHanh Nguyen, who served as Lady Sponsor for both vessels. The event was attended by representatives from ExxonMobil, SeaRiver Maritime, Hanwha Ocean Shipyard, classification society Lloyd’s Register, as well as senior management from across the MISC Group. The vessels’ names are said to continue the Malaysian giant’s Seri naming tradition, which is perceived to reflect distinction, heritage, and the enduring spirit of the country’s maritime excellence. While Dian signifies radiant brilliance, Dayang is deemed to represent elegance and grace, reinforcing the symbolic identity of the fleet. Zahid Osman, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of MISC, commented:“The naming of Seri Dian and Seri Dayang marks another important step forward in how we are Delivering Progress at MISC driven by disciplined growth and operational excellence in delivering energy safely, reliably and efficiently. Our partnership with SeaRiver Maritime continues to exemplify this approach. Built on a strong foundation of trust and performance, it demonstrates how purposeful collaboration enables us to turn shared ambition into meaningful action. “The smooth management of this project has contributed to a cumulative two million safe man-hours on 30 March 2026, with zero lost time injury and bears testament that when people come first, performance follows. These two magnificent vessels will carry that promise of safety and excellence across the world’s oceans for many years to come.” With the addition of the Seri Dian and Seri Dayang LNG carriers, MISC now operates four LNG carriers under long-term time charter with SeaRiver Maritime. The Asian firm’s LNG fleet stands at 32 vessels with the arrival of these two ships, solidifying its position among the world’s leading owner-operators of LNG carriers. MISCsecuredthe lease, operate, and maintain (O&M) scope of work last year for a floating production unit (FPU) set to be used at a natural gas development project off the coast of Brunei.

UniCredit sostiene Adriasol con un green project financing da 22,6 milioni di euro per la decarbonizzazione del porto di Ravenna UniCredit sostiene la transizione energetica del sistema portuale di Ravenna con un’operazione di finanza green da oltre 22 milioni di euro destinata alla realizzazione di un innovativo impianto fotovoltaico integrato con sistema di “Cold Ironing”. La banca ha infatti finalizzato un green mini-perm project financing da 22,6 milioni di euro a favore di Adriasol, società partecipata in quote paritetiche da Renco ed Eco Trade, quest’ultima controllata dal Gruppo Ecosuntek, attivo nel settore delle energie rinnovabili e quotato su Borsa Italiana. L’operazione finanzierà la costruzione di un impianto fotovoltaico da circa 37 MWp nell’area portuale di Ravenna, destinato a diventare uno dei progetti più avanzati in Italia nel settore dell’elettrificazione sostenibile delle infrastrutture portuali. Il sistema sarà integrato con una soluzione di “Cold Ironing”, tecnologia che consente alle navi da crociera ormeggiate in porto di spegnere i motori e alimentarsi direttamente tramite energia elettrica prodotta da fonti rinnovabili. L’impianto, la cui entrata in esercizio è prevista entro il primo semestre del 2026, produrrà circa 53 GWh di energia pulita all’anno, una quantità sufficiente a coprire il fabbisogno energetico di circa 20mila famiglie italiane. Secondo le stime, il progetto permetterà inoltre di evitare emissioni climalteranti per oltre 18mila tonnellate annue di CO₂ equivalenti, raggiungendo un risparmio complessivo superiore alle 600mila tonnellate nell’intero ciclo di vita dell’impianto. L’iniziativa si inserisce nel quadro degli obiettivi previsti dal Piano Nazionale Integrato Energia e Clima (PNIEC) e beneficia di un contributo pubblico a fondo perduto finanziato dal Ministero dell’Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica attraverso i fondi del PNRR dedicati al progetto “Green Ports”, destinato all’efficientamento energetico e alla sostenibilità ambientale delle attività portuali. Il finanziamento è stato certificato green secondo i “Green Loan Principles” e rappresenta uno dei primi project financing italiani dedicati a un impianto fotovoltaico integrato con sistema di “Cold Ironing”. UniCredit ha agito come Global Coordinator & Bookrunner, Structuring Mandated Lead Arranger, banca finanziatrice, Hedging Bank, Banca Agente, Banca Depositaria e Green Loan Coordinator. Per Giovanni Rubini, amministratore delegato del Gruppo Renco, il progetto rappresenta “il primo impianto fotovoltaico di dimensioni rilevanti realizzato all’interno di un’infrastruttura portuale dove la produzione di energia da fonti rinnovabili incontra le necessità operative delle moderne navi da crociera”. “L’iniziativa ridurrà drasticamente le emissioni di CO₂ e rafforzerà la posizione competitiva del porto di Ravenna nel mercato crocieristico internazionale, offrendo un servizio all’avanguardia a costi energetici competitivi”. Soddisfazione anche da parte del Gruppo Ecosuntek. “Questa operazione supporta concretamente la nostra pipeline greenfield di impianti solari, agrivoltaici e storage”, ha dichiarato Matteo Minelli, amministratore delegato del Gruppo. “L’impianto sorgerà in un’area strategica del Paese e conferma l’approccio innovativo e sostenibile che caratterizza la nostra cultura aziendale”. Andrea Burchi, Regional Manager Centro Nord di UniCredit, ha sottolineato come il progetto rappresenti “un esempio tangibile di come la finanza green possa supportare la trasformazione dei modelli produttivi e contribuire allo sviluppo sostenibile dei territori”. Il porto di Ravenna si candida così a diventare uno dei principali hub italiani per la sostenibilità energetica nel settore crocieristico, puntando su innovazione, decarbonizzazione e integrazione tra infrastrutture portuali e produzione di energia rinnovabile.
