4. How LNG shipping kept Europe’s wartime energy supply secure. A year ago, an armada of ships came to Europe’s aid, bringing U.S.-produced liquefied natural gas to replace Russian pipeline gas supplies lost in the wake of the war. The outlook for the coming winter was dire despite the surge of American LNG cargoes — then it grew even worse. A fire and explosion took Texas’ Freeport LNG facility offline last June, removing a major U.S. export source. The price of natural gas in Europe hit $100 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in late August, the equivalent of $600-per-barrel oil.

5. Hope for women in shipping leadership roles after Inchcape promotion. Growing up in the desert of southern California is an unlikely starting point to develop a passion for the sea.

7. Whale’s tail-inspired propulsion set for 2025 debut. The new propulsion concept, which mimics the movements of a whale tail, features a main electric motor that powers a large wheel rotating at a moderate 30-80 rounds per minute. Vertical blades, each controlled by an individual motor and control system, extend from the wheel. The combined motion of the wheel and blades generates propulsion and steering forces simultaneously, enabling what ABB described as ground-breaking operational efficiency and precision for ships. https://splash247.com/whales-tail-inspired-propulsion-set-for-2025-debut/
