Kiel
The inauguration of the new shore power facility in Kiel on Dec 9, 2020, meant that Stena Line now have the possibility to connect 14 vessels at seven terminals with on-shore electricity during port stay. The new connection in Kiel will reduce the CO2 emissions from the two vessels Stena Scandinavica and Stena Germanica with 2,700 tonnes per year. In total Stena Line reduce its CO2 emissions with shore power with 13,000 tonnes per year. The new shore power facility in Kiel provides 100% green electricity, thus also avoiding NOX-, SOX- and particle emissions during the port stay of the 'Stena Germanica' and 'Stena Scandinavica'. Aside from Kiel, Stena Line have the possibility to connect to shore power supply at its two terminals in Göteborg, as well as in Karlskrona, Norvik, Trelleborg and Hoek van Holland, thus saving 13,000 t of CO2 per year in its network. Of the 36 vessels in the Stena Line fleet, 14 are now equipped with High Voltage Shore Connection systems (HVSC). “Shore power supply is important for us for two reasons: First, we want to have an immediate positive impact on the air quality in the ports we use. Secondly, we expect an even higher share of electrification in ports in the future – at cars, trucks, port vehicles and not the least at ships. With our battery and power bank projects, we develop our ferry services further in that direction constantly and we learn something new each day. In 2030 we expect to launch a 100 % battery powered and fossil free vessel”, say Niclas Mårtensson, CEO Stena Line and member of the Swedish Government Elelctrification Commission. Kiels mayor Dr. Ulf Kämpfer inaugurated the new façade of the shore power facility, which has been specially designed and illuminated. The inauguration marks the offizial start of the on-shore power supply for Stena Line in Kiel. The facility was co-funded by the state government of Schleswig-Holstein (8,9 m Euro) and the EU (1,26 m Euro). In addition, Germany´s federal government recently agreed on a political package to decrease the user prices for on-shore electricity significantly. “We are very grateful for the political support on various levels. The planned decrease of user prices for shore side electricity is an important step for the competitiveness of environmentally- and climate-friendly technologies in Northern Europe. At the same time, we are very happy about the continuous positive dialogue with our partners at Port of Kiel and the city of Kiel”, says Ron Gerlach, Managing Director, Stena Line Germany.

Debido a la ola invernal y el paso del huracán IOTA, las vías al interior de la región de la alta guajira quedaron en mal estado, lo que no permitió el tránsito de camiones con alimentos y ayudas a la población indígena de esta zona. Por este motivo, a través de Puerto Brisa S.A. se llevó a cabo cargue de estos productos alimenticios y kits de ayudas humanitarias al buque de desembarco anfibio de la Armada Nacional, ARC GOLFO DE MORROSQUILO.

LASCAUX
The 'Lascaux' has rescued the two crew members of the 15,75-m-sailing yacht "Alborán Cognac" on May 12, 2024, en route from Gibraltar to Banco del Hoyo. The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 charter yacht had been struck by orcas at around 9 a.m., about 26 kilometers off Cape Spartel at the southern entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, The rudder blade and the hull was damaged. When water entered the boat, the sailors made an emergency call. Salvamento Marítimo urged the crew to put on their life jackets and activate the AIS, as well as have the radio beacons ready in case of need for location. A helicopter took off from Spain, and the tanker, which was sailing nearby, was asked to divert to the stricken ship. One hour after the emergency call, the shipwrecked people were safely taken on board by the tanker and dropped off in Gibraltar at 10.30 a.m. The yacht sank while it was being towed by a Moroccan patrol boat towards the port.
DALI
Explosive charges were detonated on the afternoon of May 13 to bring down sections of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge resting on the 'Dali', with officials now hopeful that they will be able to remove the vessel later this week. The detonation went as planned. Next, crews will assess the remaining bridge pieces on the ship’s bow ande then ensure anything underwater may not be preventing the ship from being floated and moved out of the area. After a resurvey of the channel as well as surveys around the 'Dali' to make sure there are no obstructions that come from that precision cutting that would interfere with traffic, the US Coast Guard will reopen the limited-access channel to traffic. After necessary assessments and surveys, the plan was to remove ballast to make the ship buoyant on its own and then use four tugs to pull it out into the channel and escort it to a nearby pier. Additional wreckage and containers will be removed from the 'Dali' at the pier and the ship will undergo necessary, temporary repairs before more permanent ones can be made.
