CNN —Veteran environmentalist Paul Watson was arrested in Greenland on Sunday and faces possible extradition to Japan allegedly over anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic years ago, his organization said in a statement. The ship John Paul DeJoria and a 25-member crew were en route from Dublin, Ireland to the North Pacific to intercept Japan’s newly launched $48 million factory whaling ship the Kangei Maru, CPWF said. In a statement, Greenland police said they arrested Watson upon his arrival in Nuuk due to a Japanese arrest warrant. His foundation believes the arrest “is connected to a previous Red Notice issued for Watson’s anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic.”“This development comes as a surprise since the Foundation’s lawyers had reported that the Red Notice had been withdrawn. “Japan has never given up on its whaling ambitions,” Watson told CNN at the time.

☆ Activist Nihon Global puts forth ideas to build shareholder value at noodle giant Toyo Suisan

Toyo Suisan has consistently outperformed Nissin Foods in North America, one of the most profitable and fastest-growing markets in the world. It generally starts with shareholder proposals that by regulation can only address specific issues, such as capital allocation and dividends. Last year, 3% of corporate governance shareholder proposals were passed and 4% of balance sheet-based shareholder proposals were passed. First, it shows the opportunities available to activists in Japan where reasonable shareholder proposals could lead to significant shareholder value creation. Brian Doyle of Nihon Global and his team are a good example of this.

The simplest explanation for Wednesday's sell-off was that the market was dramatically overvalued and due for a pullback. Look at the Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (BDRY). BDRY is essentially a play on global shipping, which is itself a play on the state of the global economy. There's an ETF for global shipping companies If you'd rather play global shipping companies directly, there's an ETF for that as well. The SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (BOAT) is a modified market cap weighted ETF that contains all the big global shipping companies: Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Mitsui, Euronav, Matson, AP Moller, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk, COSCO Shipping, etc.

AMSTERDAM, July 28 (Reuters) - The car carrier burning off the Dutch coast since Tuesday night is carrying nearly 500 electric vehicles, ship charter company "K" Line said on Friday, significantly more than the 25 initially reported by the coastguard. There were 3,783 vehicles on board, including 498 battery electric vehicles, a Tokyo-based spokesperson for K Line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha), which had chartered the vessel, said. He declined to say anything about the car brands, including whether or not it included any cars from Japanese manufacturers. An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands is assisting the inquiry, the Dutch Safety Board has said. The 199-metre (653 ft) Fremantle, which is still burning, is drifting about 17 km from the northernmost Dutch coast, the coastguard said.

AMSTERDAM, July 28 (Reuters) - The fire which has been burning on a car carrier off the Dutch coast has lessened in intensity and salvagers have been able to board the ship to secure stronger tow lines, authorities said on Friday. Smoke rises as a fire broke out on the cargo ship Fremantle Highway, at sea on July 26, 2023. The Dutch coastguard said on its website on Thursday that the cause of the fire was unknown, but an emergency responder is heard in a recording released by Dutch broadcaster RTL saying, "The fire started in the battery of an electric car". An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands is assisting the inquiry, the Dutch Safety Board has said.

But the intensity of the fire seems to have diminished compared with yesterday," the Dutch Coast Guard said, per an AFP translation. Just 25 or less than 1% of the 2,857 vehicles on board the Fremantle Highway were electric vehicles. The Dutch Coast Guard did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

The Panama-registered Fremantle Highway was transporting 2,857 cars from Germany to Egypt, 25 of them electric. An electric car was the suspected source of the blaze, a coastguard spokesperson said, adding that the ship was still burning. The crew had tried, but failed, to extinguish the fire, the coastguard statement said. The injured crew were taken by helicopter to medical facilities on the mainland. A fire destroyed thousands of luxury cars on a ship off the coast of Portugal's Azores islands in February last year.

June 29 (Reuters) - Australian financial conglomerate Macquarie Group (MQG.AX) said on Thursday it would divest its U.S.-based port terminal operator Ceres Terminals, with a source familiar with the matter placing the deal value north of $900 million. The Wall Street Journal in May reported that Macquarie was looking for about $1 billion from the sale, citing sources familiar with the matter. The deal value could be at the lower end of what the Wall Street Journal reported, the source said. However, Ceres Terminals Jacksonville and Intermodal Container Transfer Facility in Jacksonville, managed by Ceres, will not be a part of the deal. They will continue to be owned by MIP III, Macquarie said.

☆ China's strong demand for commodities to overtake post-2008 crisis, mining giant says
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Evelyn Cheng | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The Australian iron ore giant began business in China with a 180,000-metric ton shipment of iron ore in 2008, according to the company's website. At that time, China managed to avoid a prolonged recession with a massive stimulus program that supported infrastructure development — which drove up demand for commodities. What we're seeing now is uniform demand across China. "What we're seeing now is uniform demand across China," Forrest said, "and uniform demand but increasing, thankfully, in the supply chain, the ecosystem which will create [for the] renewable energy industry." In the six months ended Dec. 31, Fortescue said it shipped a record 96.9 million metric tons of iron ore — up 4% from a year ago.

Даже после того, как он был разблокирован, судно не разрешили покинуть Суэцкий канал. Сначала задержали для досмотра, а затем 13 апреля Египет конфисковал судно, требуя компенсации. Корабль был задержан в Большом Горьком озере, участке воды в канале, где он ждал с большей частью экипажа на борту, пока стороны вели переговоры. Страховщики судна, UK Club, опубликовали в среду заявление, в котором говорится, что владельцы судна — японская компания Shoei Kisen Kaisha Ltd — и ACS работают над тем, чтобы «как можно скорее завершить подписанное соглашение», что приведет к освобождению судна. Последний запрос — 550 миллионов долларов при условии, что 200 миллионов долларов из этой суммы будут уплачены авансом, сообщает египетская газета Ahram Online.

Masivă navă a provocat o criză în transportul maritim de marfă la sfârșitul lunii martie, când s-a blocat în Canalul Suez, blocând această rută crucială timp de șase zile, scrie digi24.ro. Chiar după ce a fost deblocată, nu a primit permisiunea de a părăsi Canalul Suez. În primă instanță, a fost reținută pentru inspecție, iar apoi pe 13 aprilie Egiptul a confiscat vasul, cerând compensații. Nava a fost ținută în Marele Lac Amar, o porțiune de apă din canal unde a așteptat cu majoritatea echipajului la bord în timp ce părțile negociau. Egiptul a solicitat compensații începând de la suma de aproape 1 miliard de dolari, însă au redus în timp sumele cerute.

Scandal în cazul navei care a blocat o săptămână canalul Suez. Egiptul a confiscat portcontainerul Ever Given şi cere proprietarilor să plătească 900 de milioane de dolari drept despăgubiri, relatează The Guardian. Ever Given este din nou blocată la 2 săptâmâni după ce a fost pusă pe linia de plutie în canalul Suez. Cu alte cuvinte egiptenii cer despagubire de 900 de milioane de dolari și nu vor să elibereze nava până nu primesc banii. Nava masivă a fost confiscată în urma deciziei unui tribunal din Ismailia.

Sunt utilizate excavatoare pentru îndepărtarea nisipului și noroiul de la prova navei, în timp ce remorcherele sunt utilizate pentru a o muta. Șeful unei companii olandeze care asistă operațiunea a avertizat că ar putea dura câteva săptămâni până la deblocarea ambarcațiunii și că ar putea fi necesare ridicarea containerelor pentru a ușura încărcătura. Nava, care este operată de compania taiwaneză de transport Evergreen Marine, dar numită Ever Given este în prezent blocată pe diagonală pe calea navigabilă. „Ne cerem scuze sincer pentru că am provocat o mare problemă navelor din Canalul Suez și celor care intenționează să treacă prin canal", a adăugat aceasta.

Companiile indiene urmează să producă opt vaccinuri mai accesibile, concepute pentru a combate COVID-19, inclusiv Covishield-ul AstraZeneca, numit „vaccinul pentru lumea de aici” de către dezvoltatorii săi, relatează Reuters, citat de libertatea.ro. „Există multe vaccinuri care se produc în țări din întreaga lume, dar există o singură națiune care are capacitatea de a produce cantități suficiente pentru a satisface cerințele cetățenilor din fiecare țară, și asta este India”, a declarat ambasadorul Australiei în India, Barry O’Farrell, după ce a vizitat fabricile de vaccinuri din India împreună cu mulți alți diplomați. Între timp, ambalatorul farmaceutic Schott Kaisha intensifică producția de flacoane de vaccin, iar DHL al Deutsche Post află cum să distribuie cel mai bine dozele în țară și în întreaga lume. Aici, mașinile automate umplu și sigilează mii de flacoane cu doze de la AstraZeneca în fiecare oră înainte de a fi mutate într-o cameră frigorifică vastă, cu tavan înalt. Cu aproape 10 milioane de infecții, cel de-al doilea stat afectat de COVID-19 din lume după Statele Unite, guvernul Indiei este probabil să comande o mare parte din vaccinuri pentru 1,3 miliarde de oameni.
