CANSO, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$MAXQ--Today, Nova Scotia is a step closer to becoming a global destination for commercial space launch as Maritime Launch Services (Nova Scotia) Ltd. (Maritime Launch or “the Company”) (NEO: MAXQ, OTCQB: MAXQF) is approved to begin construction of Spaceport Nova Scotia – Canada’s first commercial spaceport.


“Today is historic. Nova Scotia is the safest and most globally competitive location to launch satellites into space and today we are closer to realizing this potential,” says Stephen Matier, President and CEO, Maritime Launch, adding, “We are grateful to the team of global experts in design, construction, environmental protection and spaceport operations who have been working with us every step of the way to develop a world class launch site with a focus on safety and environmental stewardship. Space launch from Nova Scotia will position Canada as a global leader in low earth orbit satellite communications while creating hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in the province.”

Today’s approval confirms that Maritime Launch has satisfied the conditions related to construction of Spaceport Nova Scotia within the Environmental Assessment approval granted in 2019. The launch facility will be built on crown land in accordance with a 20-year lease of approximately 335 acres near the rural communities of Canso, Little Dover and Hazel Hill, Nova Scotia. The lease includes an option for a 20-year renewal based on compliance with terms and conditions.

With geotechnical exploratory work complete, Maritime Launch will now begin construction activity on the site.

“This is a good day for Nova Scotia – particularly rural Nova Scotia - as Spaceport Nova Scotia will create many jobs, education and partnership opportunities while boosting the province’s economy,” said Tim Houston, Premier of Nova Scotia. “We’re proud to be a destination for the growing and competitive global commercial space industry.”

With the development of Spaceport Nova Scotia, Maritime Launch expects that other national and international space companies will choose to establish a corporate presence in Nova Scotia to be near the Company’s commercial launch facilities.

“Today’s announcement is the result of extensive consultation and engagement with local communities, the Mi’kmaq, the Municipality of the District of Guysborough and the Province of Nova Scotia,” says Matier. “Our local host communities, the Mi’kmaq and all Nova Scotians can be confident that we will build and operate the spaceport with a focus on safety and environmental stewardship. This was our focus when we began the initiative years ago and it remains our commitment for the future.”

Immersive Digital Curriculum for Line Mechanic Apprenticeships Now Being Implemented in College Classroom to Train Students

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. & DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AugmentedReality--Index AR Solutions, a leading creator of digital workforce training, announced a partnership with Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) that will give students access to modern, field-proven learning materials and help prepare them for a career at utilities like MidAmerican Energy.



Under the terms of a teaming agreement, Index is implementing an immersive, multimodal digital curriculum for classroom instruction at DMACC that will provide students the exact skills and information needed to be hired as a power line mechanic. The first-of-its-kind curriculum is available in DMACC’s Ankeny Campus, delivered via tablets to 15 students enrolling in a two-semester course that started on August 24.

The materials include 20 Index eBook™ titles that were originally developed in close collaboration with MidAmerican to help train lineman apprentices. With the eBooks, DMACC classroom instructors and students will benefit from nearly 1,000 eBook pages of vetted content and 200 instructional videos of actual line mechanics performing work and giving guidance. The videos also emphasize the importance of safety and commitment to customer service – with seasoned workers who share wisdom and real-world stories from the field.

Index eBooks provide a way to learn and consume information in a way that is most familiar to the next generation of worker. eBooks include digital annotation tools that enable students to take notes and highlight text for review later. Embedded quizzes and tests allow instructors to track student progress.

The tablets also feature 22 interactive Index mobile apps that use augmented reality (AR), three-dimensional models and animations to teach students how to identify key parts or complete common tasks, such as how to troubleshoot a transformer, step by step. The augmentations also walk students through the safety considerations and tools that are needed for each step and overlay critical information on to the component they are studying.

“Utilities and trades across the country are struggling to keep up with workforce development needs,” said Rob Denson, President of DMACC. “Our partnership with Index is a unique career and technical education model that delivers a proven solution to solving today’s acute workforce issues.”

Including the Line Mechanic program being deployed at DMACC, Index and MidAmerican have created 13 digital training programs to date. The programs are currently used in the classrooms of MidAmerican’s training facility in Des Moines. They also proved exceptionally valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trainers were able to host virtual sessions using the immersive digital curriculums, which then become a reference material for workers outside of the classroom.

“Bringing the Line Mechanic training program to DMACC further extends the strategic investments MidAmerican has made in worker education in recent years,” said Chelsea McCracken, Vice President for Safety, Training and Development at MidAmerican. “We appreciate Index and DMACC for their efforts in making this valuable curriculum available in the community college setting.”

In addition to delivering the training materials and iPads to DMACC administrators, Index is also providing robust, ongoing support to help ensure instructors and students get maximum benefit from the course. Index team members will host “train-the-trainer” sessions on site for DMACC instructors. Index is also hosting weekly videoconference calls for students over the course of the semester to walk them through each eBook and app.

“The Line Mechanic program we are delivering today was created thanks to a close partnership with MidAmerican, helping them eliminate learning friction and reimagine how training happens,” said Dan Arczynski, CEO at Index AR Solutions. “We are excited to now bring this program to DMACC, giving college students access to the very same training material utilities are using.”

DMACC is the largest and most diverse community college in Iowa. MidAmerican is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, wholly owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A; BRK.B).

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Water Transport Global Market Report 2022: By Application" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global water transport market is expected to grow from $507.75 billion in 2021 to $537.07 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The market is expected to grow to $650.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%.

The water transport market consists of sales of water transportation services and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that provide water transportation of passengers and cargo using watercraft, such as ships, barges, and boats.

The main types in the water transport market are the deep sea, coastal, and great lakes, and inland water transport. The deep-sea transportation mode transports people and goods via sea waterways. The market is also segmented by application into onshore and offshore.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the water transport market in 2021. Western Europe was the second largest region in the global water transport market. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

Water transportation service companies are increasingly using sensor technologies to enable monitoring of remote locations of ships. A sensor is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure, or any one of several other environmental phenomena present in the ship. Sensors in remote locations of ships collect data autonomously and relay the data to the control room in real-time. The data captured by the sensor allows shipowners to improve the overall maintenance cycle of visits, including condition monitoring and condition-based monitoring. For instance, NoraSens and Silicon Radar are some of the companies that manufacture sensors for ships.

  • Leveraging Schneider Electric’s prefabricated data centre infrastructure, with remote access, brings power efficient, faster, and more reliable connectivity to regional Australia

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider Electric™, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced that Leading Edge Data Centres (LEDC), a company providing Regional Australian businesses and communities with greater access to distributed cloud through reliable, and cost-effective connectivity, will be utilizing Schneider Electric’s prefabricated, certified edge data centre technology to drive faster and more reliable connectivity for regional Australians.


Looking for sustainable, agile solutions to meet the company’s evolving customer needs, LEDC has enlisted Schneider Electric to design, build, commission and maintain its Tier III edge data centres. Before they are shipped to site, the data centres are designed, built, and tested in regional Australia, removing many of the traditional construction complications and ensuring that each new facility is created with the same quality, durability, and reliability as the last. In addition to optimizing reliability, Schneider Electric and LEDC will be working to drive the most efficient and robust solutions, including a series of edge data centres sized specifically to be most effective for the community they service.

“Leading Edge Data Centres was founded in 2019 with a mission to bridge the digital divide in Regional Australia,” says LEDC CEO and Founder, Chris Thorpe. “For years, regional Australian cities have put up with unreliable and costly internet connections, compared to their metropolitan counterparts. With Schneider Electric’s certified edge data centre, which can be quickly replicated in multiple regional sites across Australia, we are finally giving customers a more sustainable, cost-effective option and the ability to reliably access the cloud.”

Previously, LEDC’s potential customers have suffered through connectivity outages costing upwards of $160,000 a year. With support and innovation from Schneider Electric, LEDC will design and build a reliable prefabricated, replicable, and certified edge data centre, that will save its customers up to 80% of that cost.

“Amid today’s global pandemic, remote working became a necessity and digital disparities became more obvious,” said Joe Craparotta, VP Strategic Customers & Segments at Schneider Electric. “By partnering with Schneider Electric, LEDC has kick-started production, focusing on improved connectivity and reliability, along with options for cost-effective network rollout.”

Collaborating with Schneider Electric enables LEDC to offer the following:

  • Accessibility and choice – By providing greater choice of direct cloud access, customers can enjoy faster connectivity through the network of edge data centres across regional Australia.
  • Stability and reliability – With secure, Tier III certified edge data centres, customers can withstand even the toughest of extreme Australian weather conditions, providing redundancy and fault tolerance, as well as power outage protection.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Smart Ports Market by Technology (IoT, Blockchain, Process Automation, Artificial Intelligence), Elements (Terminal Automation, PCS, Smart Port Infrastructure), Throughput Capacity, Port Type, and Region - Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global smart ports market is projected to reach USD 5.7 billion by 2027 from an estimated USD 1.9 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 24.3% during the forecast period. International trade depends heavily on maritime transportation. Ocean shipping is the primary form of transportation for international trade, and according to UNCTAD, the majority of developing nations have seaborne trade volumes that are even higher.

The environment is always changing, making it very difficult to prevent data from being out of alignment or even missing in ports. The ability of ports to efficiently gather and exchange data will be hampered by any potential dead zones. Automated ports face this difficulty since, in contrast to conventional ones, they are unable to contain problems at particular tasks or steps in the process, demanding ongoing close coordination across operations.

Every year, there are millions of cyberattacks and data breaches, which is alarming for online safety. Security hasn't always been a key issue when a product is being designed because the idea of integrating physical objects with the internet is still a relatively new one. This problem is anticipated to be a significant one, particularly in ports where the materials handled are frequently valuable cargo. A number of businesses are also introducing goods without thoroughly testing them for secure connections in order to gain the first mover advantage, which creates a vulnerability for data breaches. The usage of hardcoded or default passwords, which can result in security breaches, is a significant problem for loT security.

The Internet of Things (IoT) segment, by technology, is expected to be the fastest growing market from 2022 to 2027

There are four types of technology are used for the smart port the internet of things (IoT), blockchain, process automation, and artificial intelligence (AI). The internet of things (IoT) is a recent technology revolution that is mostly used in smart homes, smart cities, and also smart ports globally. As every smart port is completely automated and has featured an IoT smart port for all connected devices such as smart sensors, data centers, and wireless devices. There are many types of sensors like ultrasonic sensors, inertial sensors, imaging sensors, radars, and RFID readers which are widely used to collect data and transform the port into a smart port. Infrastructure that is the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled and container management that ensures IoT adoption across the maritime industry. In terms of performance monitors mounted to pumps, engines, or gates to acquire real-time data on speed and reliability of performance, smart ports with loT can simplify repairs and maintenance. Additionally, a loT of port can stop upcoming security vulnerabilities. creating an alert system that is cloud-connected and can aid in efficient loss prevention A integrity of data can be confirmed using digital seals at every security level to avoid theft.

The extensively busy ports segment, by throughput capacity, is expected to be the largest market from 2022 to 2027

The throughput capacity segments have three types includes extensively busy ports, moderately busy ports, and scarcely busy ports. A capacity of more than 19 million TEUs is handled annually by the extremely busy ports. China, Singapore, and South Korea are some of the regions with ports that are considered to be extremely active ports on a worldwide scale. These regions serve as important trade corridors. These ports have smart infrastructure and have made large investments in port features like terminal automation, cargo handling, smart infrastructure, safety, and security, and port community systems.
