LNG tankers pile up on Europe's coasts

For weeks now, full LNG gas tankers have been anchored off the south-west coast of Spain, waiting for a date to unload their eagerly awaited cargo. Even though Spain has the largest regasification capacities in Europe with 6 terminals (35%) and the largest storage facilities in Europe with almost 45%, only one tanker per terminal can be unloaded at a time in a time-consuming and controlled manner. To do this, the deep-frozen and therefore liquid gas must be pumped out, reheated, discharged and stored. And if the storage capacities are then exhausted with up to 90% filling, even the best gas can no longer be transferred - especially as the storage...

So-called ventifoils enable ship owners to reduce emissions, comply with international regulations and save considerable costs. A new investment loan from ABN Amro now enables Atradius Dutch State Business (DSB) and its Econowind division to further develop these industrial sails and to finance both the sale and rental of the sails. This gives shipowners low-threshold access to this green technology. Econowind's aim is to equip as many ships as possible worldwide with this technology. At least the first ten ventifoils can be leased with this loan, a goal that should be easily achievable as early as next year. Econowind Econowind was founded in 2016 by the entrepreneur...

Two documentary series accompany the German Navy on NATO missions and in everyday life on the high seas. Kabel Eins promises "unique access to all branches of the armed forces" in October with the documentary project "Unsere Bundeswehr", but as it now turns out, the look behind the scenes of the armed forces is not as unique as expected. DMAX is also planning a similar documentary format from 15 October with "The Navy - Our Life at Sea". Every Saturday from 21:15, the Discovery channel will go on board three warships and show the German navy on its NATO missions between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The three ships...

Acting Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson on Monday rejected Russia's demands for transparency in the Swedish investigation into the gas leaks in the Baltic Sea last week. Russia had sent a letter to the Swedish government asking it to investigate the gas leak. This came after Sweden rejected Russia's repeated demands for more transparency. "In Sweden, investigations are confidential," Andersson said at a press conference on board a Swedish coastguard vessel in Karlskrona, southern Sweden. She added that in her country, investigations are confidential. According to Andersson, the Swedish authorities have no information that Russia is investigating the area.
