DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Under the theme “The riddim that connects the world”, the Jamaica Pavilion at the World Expo 2020 Dubai, aims to introduce and position Jamaica as a logistic hub connecting the Americas to the rest of the world. With the island strategically located, providing direct connections to major gateways, this makes the destination even more appealing to tourism investors and stakeholders in the airline industry.



Emirates Airlines is a premium airline from the Middle East region, and Jamaica’s Tourism Minister, Hon Edmund Bartlett, has initiated discussions with top representatives of the airline during his visits to the World Expo 2020 Dubai. The aim of these discussions is to enhance connectivity between the regions by facilitating airlift.

In an ongoing effort to enhance the connectivity efforts between Asia, Middle East, Africa and Europe to Jamaica and rest of the Caribbean and Latin American region, Minister Bartlett held meetings with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of the Emirates Group.

Other Jamaican dignitaries present at the meeting were, Senator The Honourable Kamina Johnson Smith, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, leading the delegation to World Expo 2020 Dubai; Ambassador Alison Stone Roofe, Under Secretary for Multilateral Affairs; Donovan White, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism and Diane Edwards, President of JAMPRO. Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Divisional Senior Vice President International Affairs and Mr. Adnan Kazim, Chief Commercial Officer from Emirates Airlines were also present at the meeting.

Jamaica’s well developed and world-class infrastructure was an essential element of the dialogue as mention was made of the highways, airports and sea ports including the existing air and sea connectivity within the region. The island’s meetings incentives conferencing and exhibitions (MICE) facilities which attract tens of thousands of business travellers for conferences, tradeshows and corporate activities are major advantages. Donovan White, Director of Tourism, Jamaica also presented relevant data on the island’s tourism product as he provided details on potential growth in airlift capacity in terms of potential flyers.

Minster Bartlett also briefed the Emirates delegation on the expansion of the Panama Canal and the benefits that Jamaica will gain from new and innovative commercial ventures as it seeks to position itself to join Rotterdam, Dubai, and Singapore as the fourth node in the international logistics chain. Director White gave an update that the Montego Bay Convention Centre is preparing to host the World Free Zone Organization (WFZO) AICE 2022 and is expecting 3,500 delegates from across the globe, with over 70% of that expected from Asia, Africa and Europe. Launched in UAE, the World Free Zone Organization will be hosting its annual AICE 2022 June 13 – 17 in Jamaica.

Given Jamaica’s geographical location in the center of the Americas, the efforts are being made at an opportune time between Emirates Airlines and Jamaica to be partners to the wider region.

As previously disclosed, in November 2021, the Trustee notified MV Partners, LLC (“MV Partners”) that the Trustee intends to build a reserve for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities, commencing with the distribution payable in the first quarter of 2022. The Trustee intends to withhold a portion of the proceeds otherwise available for distribution each quarter to gradually build a cash reserve to approximately $1.265 million. This amount is in addition to the letter of credit in the amount of $1.8 million provided to the Trustee by MV Partners to protect the Trust against the risk that it does not have sufficient cash to pay future expenses. The Trustee may increase or decrease the targeted amount at any time, and may increase or decrease the rate at which it is withholding funds to build the cash reserve at any time, without advance notice to the unitholders. Cash held in reserve will be invested as required by the Trust Agreement.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Although MV Partners has advised the Trust that MV Partners believes that the expectations contained in this press release are reasonable, no assurances can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. The announced distributable amount is based on the amount of cash received or expected to be received by the Trustee from the underlying properties on or prior to the record date with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Any differences in actual cash receipts by the Trust could affect this distributable amount. Other important factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include the actual results of drilling operations, risks inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas properties, the ability of commodity purchasers to make payment, the effect, impact, potential duration or other implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions by the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and other risk factors described in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in these risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no obligations, to update any of the statements included in this press release.

Settings Automatically Turn Off Power Within One-Tenth of a Second When a Hazard on Powerline is Detected

PG&E Pledges Improved Customer Outreach, Offers Portable Power and Additional Support for Schools, Hospitals and Those with Access or Functional Needs

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With California’s growing wildfire risk, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will expand its use of an advanced technology that quickly and automatically shuts off power within one-tenth of a second if a potential threat to the electric system, such as a tree branch falling into a powerline, is detected. Launched as a pilot in July 2021, Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) will be expanded to all distribution powerlines in high fire-threat areas this year.

As of Dec. 31, 2021, these enhanced safety settings reduced California Public Utilities Commission-reportable ignitions by 80% on EPSS-enabled circuits in High Fire-Threat Districts (HFTDs) last year. This is compared to the prior three-year average across more than 11,500 HFTD miles.

“As we strive for our goal of zero utility-caused wildfires, we recognize a critical need to deploy these enhanced safety settings on our powerlines in the areas that face the greatest threat,” said Mark Quinlan, PG&E’s Vice President of Transmission and Distribution System Operations. “In tandem with the company’s other wildfire prevention efforts for 2022, including beginning to underground 10,000 miles of electric distribution powerlines and installing more weather stations, high-definition cameras and microgrids, the expansion of these advanced safety settings will help make our system safer for our customers.”

This year, PG&E plans to expand the program across 25,500 HFTD distribution line miles within the company’s service area and in select adjacent areas. Compared to Public Safety Power Shutoffs, which are a last resort when severe weather conditions such as high winds are forecast, EPSS is effective any time when extremely dry fuels make powerline faults more likely to spark a fire.

(Watch a video of ongoing testing of the safety settings at PG&E’s Applied Technology Services lab in San Ramon.)

Enhanced Customer Support

Although these new safety settings make the electric system safer, having the power turn off quickly and automatically results in customer outages. PG&E is working hard to reduce the outages and increase the resources available to affected customers. During the 2021 pilot, after optimizing the equipment and improving the efficiency of restoration processes, the average customer outage length on EPSS-enabled circuits decreased by 40%.

Additional improvements to the program in 2022 will enable a more surgical approach to minimize the frequency and duration of outages and reduce the number of customers impacted. That includes being operationally flexible during wildfire season when it comes to enabling the enhanced safety settings circuits. PG&E is also bolstering communication and engagement efforts with potentially affected customers and communities in HFTDs and nearby areas during and after service interruptions. This will include automated outage alerts with improved estimated time of restoration information. Additional communications include newsletters, webinars, letters and emails; updating the EPSS page on our website; and providing information via social media sites such as Nextdoor and Facebook.

PG&E also has resources to help customers prepare for outages and stay safe. In 2022, changes to our programs include:

  • Increased funding and expansion of eligibility for the Generator Rebate Program, which is for customers who rely on well water, as well as for customers in our Medical Baseline Program and certain small businesses.
  • Removal of the low-income requirements for the Portable Battery Program, available for eligible customers in our Medical Baseline Program who live in high fire-threat areas.
  • The expansion of the Backup Power Transfer Meter, now being offered to all customers on EPSS-enabled circuits.

Additional actions include:

Before Wildfire Season: Engineering settings on devices on powerlines to ensure wildfire mitigation benefit and improved coordination amongst devices. Conducting preseason engagement with customers, media, agencies and additional stakeholders to proactively communicate the 2022 Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings expansion and available support. Performing system maintenance and vegetation management to make the electric system safer and improve reliability.

During Wildfire Season: Engaging customers and communities by sharing information, resources and support through multiple channels; pre-staging critical customer solutions, such as temporary generation and auto-transfer switches at schools and hospitals; informing customers when circuits return to normal settings with the onset of saturating rain. Staffing up and preparing helicopters to respond quickly to outages when they occur and establishing a robust outage review process to address outage causes and mitigate future outages.

After Wildfire Season: Sharing key program takeaways from the year via progress reports, emails, website updates and social media; and incorporating lessons learned into future program plans.

Key Market Trends

Rising Cross Broder E-Commerce driving Sea Freight Forwarding Market

In 2019, retail e-commerce sales worldwide amounted to around 3.53 trillion US dollars and e-retail revenues are projected to grow even further at a quicker pace in the coming few years. Online shopping is one of the most popular online activities worldwide, both domestic and cross-border e-commerce is booming in developing markets such as China, India, and Indonesia due to that reason. This encompasses not just direct-to-consumer retail, but also shipments of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer packaged goods.

Growth in e-commerce is tied very closely to consumption growth in the region as developing economies make the gradual shift from growth by manufacturing for export to higher levels of consumption by expanding middle classes. In China, cross-border e-commerce transactions already account for up to 20 percent of total import and export trading volumes. Compared to China, in other regions, the size of e-commerce-related business is much smaller, but the growth is also rapid. One of the most preferred mode for e-commerce freight forwarding is through sea and many business are favoring that as evidenced by the growing ocean freight volumes to 11 billion tons in 2018.

  • 5,000 participants a year get heat pump “driving license”

HOLZMINDEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new market opportunities for environmentally friendly technology are boosting further training in the German heating trade: Stiebel Eltron alone trains around 5,000 participants a year at its locations in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Böblingen, Nuremberg, Oberhausen and Holzminden, as well as online. Even if the difference between boiler and heat pump installation is not serious, the company says: Some work steps are omitted, others are newly added. Getting to know the heat pump technology better and reducing fear of contact - that's what the seminar "Heat pump driving license" is all about, for example.


This ensures that the heating systems of the future are selected, installed and maintained properly.

"Since last autumn, we've experienced another massive increase in the rush to our seminar offerings," reports Jürgen Kijek, head of Stiebel Eltron's Energy Campus. "To meet the huge demand, we offer the training courses nationwide and have expanded the course system to include the online version 'Heat Pump Driving License' - and it's a real success."

Professionals training

Heating engineers who have so far mainly installed oil and gas systems are of course also basically very well equipped for heat pump installation. Nevertheless, the practice-oriented seminars make sense: "The Stiebel trainers are themselves trained heating engineers and accompany the course participants as they acquire the initial basic knowledge up to professional status. It's all about the quick, easy selection of a suitable complete system, the few differences compared to the installation of a gas or oil unit, the right steps to take during commissioning and how to prevent simple hydraulic or electrical errors," explains Jürgen Kijek. "At the end of the course, the graduates are perfectly prepared for the rapidly increasing customer demand for the environmentally friendly heating system heat pump."

Heat pump Know-how

The pace of changeover to environmentally friendly heating systems is accelerating. For specialist tradesmen, know-how in heat pump technology is now indispensable. Further information on the heat pump driving license can be found at: www.stiebel-eltron.de/seminare

BELOIT, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#FMD--Fairbanks Morse Defense (FMD), a portfolio company of Arcline Investment Management, has been awarded a contract by Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) to provide essential parts through Hunt Valve for the Ford Class aircraft carriers CVN 78 – CVN 81. The contract, valued at approximately $2 million, covers parts that will be delivered during the second and third quarters of 2022. Hunt Valve, acquired by Fairbanks Morse Defense in 2021, manufactures valves and electromechanical actuators for naval defense applications.


This contract reinforces FMD’s position as a critical supplier to its core naval defense customers. Having traditionally been a naval engine supplier, Fairbanks Morse Defense has expanded into a single-source product and service solutions provider for the entire vessel. Over the last 18 months, the defense contractor has been acquiring a number of companies, including Hunt Valve, and currently offers a large array of best-in-class marine technologies, OEM parts and turnkey services for the entire vessel to ensure Navy and Coast Guard fleets are always mission ready.

“Every ship and every shipyard play a crucial role in advancing American interests and countering our rivals at sea. Fairbanks Morse Defense and our sub-brands are deeply committed to supporting our country’s critical naval operations with American-made OEM parts throughout the ship,” said FMD CEO George Whittier. “In light of the post-pandemic supply chain challenges and uncertainty about the war in Ukraine, NNS is being extremely prudent by stocking the parts necessary.”

Earlier this year, Vice Admiral Roy Kitchener, commander of naval surface forces, spoke with maritime defense industry leaders about the need for prioritizing ship maintenance and crew training to ensure fleets are fully mission-capable. This vital initiative includes analyzing the Navy’s current and projected requirements for maintenance, spare parts and labor. By streamlining maintenance services, parts and labor through a single provider such as Fairbanks Morse Defense, the Navy will be able to accomplish this goal while reducing time and costs.
