Fincantieri Signs an Agreement with the French State for the Acquisition of 50% of Stx France
FINCANTIERI SIGNS AN AGREEMENT WITH THE FRENCH STATE FOR THE ACQUISITION OF 50% OF STX FRANCE Trieste, 2 February, 2018 – FINCANTIERI S.p.A., through its subsidiary Fincantieri Europe S.p.A., signed today a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 50% of the share capital of STX France from the French State, represented by the Agence des Participations de l'Etat (APE). The signing takes place after the resolution of the share purchase agreement previously signed between Fincantieri and STX Europe on May 19, 2017 as a consequence of the exercise by the French State of its pre-emption right for the acquisition of the entirety of STX France share capital on July 28, 2017 and follows the signing of the share purchase agreement between the French State and STX Europe. The acquisition by Fincantieri is subject to the closing of the transaction between the French State and STX Europe and to customary conditions for this kind of transactions. The agreement provides for a purchase price of euro 59.7 million for Fincantieri, which shall be paid through available financial resources. The signing is part of the agreement announced on September 27, 2017 by the Italian and French Governments regarding the future shareholding structure of STX France. Such agreement envisages the participation of Naval Group as a shareholder of STX France and represents an important first step towards the creation of a future alliance in both cruise and military naval sectors. Pursuant to this agreement, upon closing the parties will also execute the shareholders agreement and the stock lending agreement relating to 1% of the share capital of STX France which will be lent by APE to Fincantieri upon terms and conditions already agreed between the parties. -

Oil and Gas News Briefs, December 28, 2020
Oil and Gas News Briefs Compiled by Larry Persily December 28, 2020 LNG producers risk overinvesting in too much new supply (The Wall Street Journal; Dec. 24) - As a cleaner fossil fuel, natural gas will play a role for years to come. It is less certain, however, that it will be a profitable one. Exuberant investment in new reserves and liquefaction facilities in recent years helped globalize the LNG market but also created a supply glut. Any sustained recovery in prices and profits will require producers to resist the temptation to overinvest once again. Future profitability will depend on how well supply and demand match up. Natural gas will likely play two key roles in the upcoming green transition: replacing coal-fired power plants until sufficient renewables production can be built; and fueling backup peak plants to bridge the gaps in intermittent wind and solar generation. Gas demand is expected to peak sometime in the next decade or two and then taper off slowly, though advances in carbon capture and storage could extend its role. On the other hand, gas demand could be reduced by a faster-than-expected fall in costs for renewable energy and storage, or an accelerated development of green hydrogen. The uncertainty makes it tricky to estimate what supply will be needed in the future, particularly as projects can take years to come online. This raises the risk of overproduction, which can cause prices to languish. Decisions to invest during the next two years could lead to another “wave of supplies” coming online in 2027, prompting another downward price cycle, said Carlos Torres Diaz, gas and power analyst at energy consultancy Rystad Energy. -

Glossary of Port Industry Terminology
Glossary of Port Industry Terminology Berth: 1) The area allotted to accommodate a vessel alongside a wharf, or the area in which a vessel swings when at anchor. 2) Or in “cruise terminology ” a bed. Berthage: A tariff charged to a vessel occupying a berth. It is calculated by applying the current tariff rate per GT for each of the first 2 twelve-hour periods. Each additional hour is charged at a lower published rate per GT. Bollard: Is a short vertical post used on a ship or a quay, principally for mooring. Breakbulk: Non-containerized general cargo. Examples include iron, steel, machinery, linerboard, woodpulp and yachts. Cabin: A passenger room onboard the cruise ship – sometimes called a stateroom or a berth. CBSA: Canada Border Services Agency (occasionally referred to as Canada Customs). Coastal Trading Act: An Act respecting the use of foreign ships and non-duty paid ships in the coasting trade. (Canadian version of American “Jones Act” see cabotage below). Cabotage Water transportation term applicable to shipments between ports of a nation; commonly refers to coastwise or intercoastal navigation or trade. Many nations, including the United States, have cabotage laws which require national flag vessels to provide domestic interport service. (In US this is referred to as the “Jones Act”). Chart Datum: A plan below which the tide will seldom fall. The Canadian Hydrographic Service has adopted the plane of Lowest Normal Tides (LNT) as chart datum. To find the depth of water, the height of tide must be added to the depth shown on the chart. Tidal heights preceded by a (-) must be subtracted from the charted depth. -

Irish Maritime Directorate Strategy - Public Consultation Submissions by Recipient
Irish Maritime Directorate Strategy - Public Consultation Submissions by Recipient 1. Commander John Jordan Received 13 November 2020 Dear Sir, From 1952 to 2000 I served on Irish and British Merchant ships, including 32 years in the Irish naval Service, and finally 8 years mainly with Commissioners of Irish Lights and some with Dundalk shipping and British and Irish Containers on MV Wicklow. I would have entered and used all Irish Ports except Wicklow, Dundalk ,Drogheda and Sligo. In Naval days I was liaison officer to the Survey and charting for Burtonport Fishery harbour and served in command of 5 naval ships. Comments Core 1. In the overall our response to Maritime safety is reactive as we have NO hands on 24/7 view, or control of maritime traffic. With the loss of manned lighthouses and reliance only on Radio channels in competition with Cell and satellite phones there has been a loss of the Surface Picture and of discipline among users. Most busy sea traffic areas, other than Ireland, are now controlled and interrogated by VTS . Recent incidences offshore and over the years has shown our weaknesses in the event of ship breakdowns that culminate in towage and/or rescue. There are no dedicated Emergency Towage vessels. Regulations will not solve or provide a solution to an actual incident. Core 2. Some of our Ports are in planned disarray. There is a certain loss of control in that traditional town based berthage is being repurposed as development lands while linear losses of berthage, are not being met at down river sites. -

Cruise Shipping and Urban Development the Case of Dublin
CPB Corporate Partnership Board Cruise Shipping and Urban Development The Case of Dublin This report analyses Dublin’s attractiveness as a cruise port and assesses the impacts of cruise shipping on the city. It evaluates policies in place and provides recommendations to increase the positive impacts of cruise shipping for the city of Dublin. Over the last decade, Dublin has grown as an important port of call for cruises in Northern Europe. Cruise tourism generates significant economic benefits for the city of Dublin. The value cruise tourism brings could be further increased by developing Dublin into a cruise home port, that is a port from which cruises start and where they end. Under which conditions could this be achieved? Which policy measures would be needed? Which stakeholders would need to be involved? This report is part of the International Transport Forum’s Case-Specific Policy Analysis series. These are topical studies on specific issues carried out by the ITF in agreement with local institutions.
