[Six Nordic countries have agreed to protect undersea energy infrastructure] On April 9, six Nordic countries - Denmark, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway and the Netherlands - signed an agreement to strengthen protection measures for underwater assets, including gas pipelines and power cables. The explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022 had a huge impact on Europe's energy supply, and the six countries that signed the contract all border the North Sea, and it is clear that the security of the North Sea is a major energy transit route for these countries are strongly concerned. The six-nation agreement underscores a shared commitment to protect important energy transit routes in the region. The North Sea, with its extensive network of pipelines and cables, plays a vital role in supplying energy to Europe, particularly in terms of oil and gas resources, as well as renewable energy in the future. Key provisions of the agreement include a comprehensive review of current protection and recovery measures and the establishment of a mechanism for sharing critical information among participating countries. By promoting cooperation and coordination, the signatories aim to mitigate the risks posed by potential threats to underwater energy infrastructure, thereby ensuring uninterrupted energy supply throughout the region.

  • [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
  • On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.

  • [Malaysia's energy transition has made progress]
  • On October 9, 2024, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadhila stated that Malaysia has made progress in improving energy efficiency and that "energy conservation" has become the key to energy transition. Meanwhile, Malaysia will promote the ASEAN power grid as a key topic of discussion at the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. At the 2024 Asia Power and Energy Exhibition, which opened on the 8th, Fadhila revealed that as of June, Malaysia has saved 8769 gigawatt hours of electricity, worth over 2.2 billion ringgit, and plans to reduce 38 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2025. In addition, the Malaysian government has approved the establishment of an energy exchange aimed at selling green electricity to neighboring countries. As the rotating chair of ASEAN in 2025, Malaysia will promote the construction of the ASEAN power grid to promote the promotion of renewable energy and enhance the resilience and reliability of electricity supply in ASEAN member countries.
