Order includes 2 APM® 75T HE electric harbor tractors to be used in the Freetown Terminal in Sierra Leone

This 3rd order from Bolloré Ports, which is part of its unprecedented Green Terminal environmental labeling process for its 18 container and roll-on/roll-off terminals, confirms the success of the partnership with Gaussin. It includes the supply of 4 POWERPACK® HE and a 6x4 multi-charge station.

HÉRICOURT, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GAUSSIN (EURONEXT GROWTH: ALGAU - FR0013495298), a pioneer of clean and smart freight transport, announces a new order from Bolloré Ports for 2 APM® 75T HE electric port tractors, 4 POWERPACK® HE and a 6x4 multi-load station for the Freetown port terminal in Sierra Leone.


"We are honored by the confidence Bolloré Ports continues to have in Gaussin’s expertise and technology. This new order, the third one from Bolloré Ports, also attests to the commercial success of the APM® 75T equipped with batteries from Blue Solutions, the model now deployed in Africa, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. Gaussin and Bolloré Ports share the same commitment to carbon-free port logistics and our Group is proud to continue to support Bolloré Ports in its goals,” said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of the GAUSSIN Group.

"Gaussin's technology is fully in line with our groundbreaking Green Terminal process, which aims to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. It was therefore a natural decision to continue our collaboration with Gaussin through this new order. The success of this French partnership is also proof that pooling skills to fight against the effects of global warming can lead to concrete actions to effectively and sustainably fight against global warming while improving operational performance," said Philippe Labonne, CEO of Bolloré Ports.

Successful partnership between Gaussin and Bolloré Ports

The APM® 75T HE was developed as a result of the combination of Gaussin's expertise in the production of handling vehicles, Blue Solutions' expertise in the production of electric batteries and Bolloré Ports' expertise in port logistics.

This innovative partnership has led to the development of eco-responsible electric logistics and mobility solutions that are ideal for extreme environments, from the tropics to the desert, where heat alters sensitive components, particularly batteries. The APM® 75T HE is the first container transport solution designed specifically for hot countries, thanks to its unique solid-state battery technology, which is reliable at external temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C.

Designed on the basis of a modular and versatile platform, the APM® is the only electric port vehicle on the market capable of operating without interruption due to Gaussin’s patented "battery swap" system that allows the batteries to be changed in just a few minutes.

This "FULL ELEC" model has many other advantages. Not only does it allow for significant energy savings and contribute to a totally carbon-free port logistics, but it also reduces maintenance costs. By putting an end to the noise pollution of traditional vehicles, the "FULL ELEC" model reinforces productivity, safety and driving comfort.

The LMP® battery: an electric battery technology adapted to extreme conditions

The LMP® battery is an entirely solid-state technology, designed and produced by Blue Solutions, a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group. Fully produced in France, it is distinguished by its high energy density and safety of use. The solid electrolyte gives it a very high level of safety with no risk of thermal runaway. It is particularly well suited to extreme weather conditions and to the demanding productivity of heavy handling vehicles.

LMP® batteries do not contain cobalt, nickel, solvents or rare earth elements, ensuring independence from materials that are increasingly critical to society and the environment and thus providing real competitive advantages in today's market.

Freetown Terminal

The Freetown Terminal, with a capacity of 380,000 TEUs, is the main container terminal in Sierra Leone and the most important gateway for trade and commerce in the country.

Bolloré Ports, which employs several hundred people at the terminal, has recently undertaken a series of improvements, including the integration of modern, adapted and environmentally friendly handling equipment.

The objective of Bolloré Ports is to bring the productivity of these port infrastructures in Sierra Leone up to the level of the best ports on the African continent in the very short term.

Bolloré Ports' Green Terminal

The "Green Terminal" labeling process was initiated by Bolloré Ports and launched in 2021 with the objective of contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint of its activities. It is based on a comprehensive methodology covering all environmental concerns through 8 fundamental pillars. The entire process, from project definition to auditing, has been validated by Bureau Veritas, one of the world's leading testing, inspection and certification companies. Their experts will be responsible for supporting Bolloré Ports throughout the year in deploying the label in its network and for carrying out audits to assess the environmental performance of its port terminals with a view to issuing a certificate of compliance.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#FSM--KloudGin, the leading provider of AI cloud-based field service and asset management solutions, announced the company has been selected by Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) to digitally modernize the data collection of the various operational and regulatory readings for processes at its Richmond and Passyunk gas processing facilities in the City.


KloudGin’s single-cloud application, running on AWS, is designed to help PGW reduce manual data collection and entry, create real-time compliance reporting, and increase service efficiency.

The two PGW facilities process, store, and distribute natural gas to homes and businesses. Plant operators analyze readings every hour from a variety of systems, 24/7 - including temperature, volume, and flow. PGW sought to create efficiencies and streamline their manual, paper-based data capture processes, and have selected a KloudGin solution. The project’s implementation support is being provided by Utility Solutions Partners (USP).

With KloudGin’s solution, PGW workers will carry a mobile tablet, which includes a KloudGin Survey with specific field-focused questions that can be answered offline or online. PGW technicians will conduct equipment evaluations and utilize the Survey’s digital walk-through for inputting data and completing assessments. When workers are offline and then enter a Wi-Fi enabled area, the data will then sync. The KloudGin system will then present the data in dashboards, for review by PGW supervisors in real time. The process is designed to provide fast digital efficiency.

“PGW is digitizing their complex, mission critical processes to get the right info collected at the right time to make the right decisions, maximizing reliability and asset uptime,” said Vikram Takru, KloudGin Co-founder and CEO. “PGW wanted digital transformation mobility - both offline and online - for a rugged, easy-to-use, field-worker-first modern application. As utilities transform to more efficient digital management of asset and customer service work, they will begin to utilize modern cloud, mobile, AI/ML, field service, work and asset management solutions built from the ground up.”

The new KloudGin digital capture capabilities provide PGW with:

  • Elimination of paper forms - created by technicians on three daily shifts - that had to be reviewed, approved, and re-keyed at the end of each day.
  • A digital approval system for the data that’s verified by supervisors.
  • Digitally archived data that can easily be sourced for regulatory compliance reporting or review.
  • A flexible system where existing forms can be reviewed, and new forms can be added.
  • Dashboards with historical and current readings.
  • Greater data accuracy about equipment and services.

Ultimately, the digital system will help PGW continue to deliver outstanding service to its 500,000 customers in Philadelphia.

The two organizations celebrate a decade of partnership and environmental impact with the Reliant EcoShare℠ program —

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reliant and EarthShare of Texas are celebrating 10 years of partnership and $2 million raised through the Reliant EcoShare℠ program. By joining the program, Reliant customers empower EarthShare of Texas to support environmental stewardship in the community while reducing their own carbon footprint.


“In just ten years, Reliant’s EcoShare℠ program has achieved this remarkable milestone, donating $2 million towards conservation efforts to strengthen the great state of Texas,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of Reliant. “This has been possible by working together with our customers, EarthShare of Texas and several non-profits. We look forward to our continued partnership.”

Launched in 2011, Reliant EcoShare℠ allows customers to lessen their impact on the environment through the purchase of carbon offsets, reducing the effect of individuals’ carbon footprints generated by using electricity or transportation. In addition, the program provides ongoing support to EarthShare of Texas, a nonprofit committed to environmental support through funding contributions to more than 30 different local and statewide organizations leading environmental causes. All carbon offsets for the Reliant EcoShare℠ program meet approved standards established by organizations respected for their environmental integrity to ensure that they represent real, verifiable reductions in greenhouse gases.

For as little as $3.95 per month customers can lend support to key conservation and environmental projects throughout Texas. With every $25 the program is able to provide seeds for one community garden to grow nutritious and affordable food, $100 can protect 100 acres of farmland, and $350 can go towards removing nearly 46,000 pounds of trash from Texas beaches by working affiliated organization.

In celebration of the EcoShare℠ anniversary and incredible monetary achievement, Reliant and EarthShare of Texas planted 24 trees native to Texas at a local elementary school. The SPARK School Park Program, a non-profit organization serving the greater Houston area and long-time member of EarthShare of Texas, works with public schools to develop playgrounds into community parks. More than 30 volunteers from both organizations came out to Herrera Elementary School SPARK Park in Houston’s Northside area to show their appreciation for the community and celebrate the occasion with a check presentation. If $500 can maintain one acre of native prairie for a year, imagine the impact that $2 million can have across the state.

“We feel honored that so many of Reliant's customers opt into the EcoShare program and donate to our federation. Each of our members is thoroughly vetted so we know that every dollar of this $2 million milestone has been put to work for the betterment of all Texans’ natural environment. Just like today, more trees have been planted, water is clean, wildlife is rescued, land is conserved, and so much more because of this partnership with Reliant and its customers,” said Francoise Van Keuren, executive director of EarthShare of Texas.

For additional information on Reliant’s partnership with EarthShare of Texas and the EcoShare℠ program, visit Reliant’s website.

OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gulfport Energy Corporation (NYSE: GPOR) (“Gulfport” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment”), which amends and refinances the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2021 (“Exit Facility”).


"Gulfport continues to make progress in strengthening its financial position, today announcing the successful amendment to its exit facility. The amended facility increases our liquidity by more than $160 million, which is expected to provide us with the necessary financial flexibility to continue to execute our business plan and provides additional clarity around our ability to return capital to shareholders. We appreciate our banks working closely with us in connection with this amendment and for their continued support to our organization,” commented Tim Cutt, CEO of Gulfport.

The amendment announced today provides for, among other things:

  • an increase in aggregate elected lender commitments from $580 million to $700 million;
  • a repayment of the term loan under the Exit Facility
  • a change to the leverage ratio covenant to permit a maximum ratio of net funded debt to EBITDAX of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company;
  • the ability to make certain restricted payments from free cash flow, subject to certain leverage and elected commitment availability conditions;
  • the elimination of the $40 million availability blocker that applied in advance of certain successful midstream resolutions;
  • a revision of the applicable rate for all borrowings under the credit agreement, which reduces the 100-basis point LIBOR floor to zero and reduces the price grid by 25 basis points at each level of utilization; and
  • the ability to repurchase outstanding senior notes of up to $150 million, subject to certain leverage and elected commitment availability conditions.

The Amendment also provides for semiannual redeterminations of the borrowing base around November 1 and May 1 of each year, beginning May 1, 2022, and extends the maturity date to October 2025 from May 2024.

The Amendment was provided by a syndicate of 14 financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

Davendra Kumar, Senior Vice President India Business Unit at Technip Energies commented: We are pleased to have been awarded this PEM based hydrogen project by NTPC. This award illustrates our commitment to Energy Transition and our strong project management capabilities in carbon-free energies. It is an honor to be part of one of the first ever PEM based hydrogen project in India of this scale in the country, marking a significant step towards decarbonization of the Indian energy sector.”

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ecofin is marking the 5-year anniversary of Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust plc (“EGL” or “the Company”), the closed-end fund it manages which invests in listed infrastructure securities (utilities, transportation and environmental services) globally. EGL targets a total return (including dividends) of 6-12%, and since the Company’s admission to the London Stock Exchange on 26 September, 2016, has grown net assets significantly (by 71.2%, or 11.3% per annum) and delivered a total shareholder return of 120.2%, or 17.1% per annum (to 30 September, 2021, assuming a reinvestment of dividends), significantly outperforming the returns on the sector indices (the S&P Global Infrastructure Index and the MSCI World Utilities Index) and the MSCI ACWI over the same period.


Ecofin’s listed infrastructure strategy seeks to deliver long-term capital growth and attractive levels of dividend income to shareholders by investing in companies whose core assets respond to essential needs, operate within solid regulatory frameworks, and have predictable and sustainable cash flows. Infrastructure globally requires major investment as a significant proportion is obsolete, in poor condition, or inadequate to cope with the development of and demand for renewable energies. The policy environment is rapidly becoming much more supportive too, in view of increasingly ambitious government and corporate sustainability commitments, just as renewables have become the cheapest sources of electricity in most areas of the world. Capital expenditure targeted at the decarbonisation of the energy system underpins the profitable growth which EGL’s portfolio companies will enjoy over the coming years.

“Business models in EGL’s sectors are rapidly adapting to a world which increasingly prioritizes decarbonisation, prompting a gradual re-rating of the investment universe and a narrowing of the valuation gap with equivalent privately held infrastructure assets,” said Jean-Hugues de Lamaze, EGL’s Portfolio Manager. “Companies are on the verge of substantial improvements in their growth trajectories driven by shifts in capital allocation, whether through transformational transactions (acquisitions, disposals or spin-offs) or more gradually. These corporate actions and recalibrations are offering, we believe, significant value-creation opportunities.”
