Available U.S. supply of 20 ft, 40 ft standard and 40 ft High Cube sized dry van containers expands to ten coast-to-coast regions for business and personal use


LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Containers--Today, Eveon Containers, the first and fully digital commercial container shopping platform, continues its expansion and supply of available dry van containers in four critical trading hubs: Long Beach, CA, Miami, FL, Norfolk, VA, and Columbus, OH. This expands Eveon’s availability to ten coast-to-coast trading and shipping hubs across the U.S. for mainland use at a time when the global supply chain has trickled practically to a standstill.

"Eveon provides access to a portion of the commercial used containers" said Aad Storm, Eveon’s founder and CEO. "Unfortunately, despite the impressive efforts put in place to address the problem, there is a perception that this supply chain backlog isn’t going to see any substantial reduction in the coming months. Those needing to store or transport products or supplies within the country have to pivot to more efficient and guaranteed methods of fulfillment on dry land. Eveon solves multiple challenges for them: immediate availability of wind and watertight containers, end-to-end fulfillment on U.S. soil, and a digital platform with transparently listed pricing. On top of this, cargo worthy containers with CSC certificates will be available as well soon for export purposes."

While containers are a fundamental piece of the global economy and used to transport equipment and goods, the common process of procuring containers is old-fashioned, not digitized and the market is very opaque. Product prices are not readily available with traditional dealers; they’re either not published or prospective customers need to manually submit a written query or call someone to begin the purchase process. This leads to two major problems: incomplete cost comparison between potential suppliers and an unknown, dramatically lengthened purchase time with the customer unsure whether they paid a fair price in the end.

Eveon readily offers three dry van container variants for storage or local transportation needs: 20-ft, 40-ft, and a 40-ft High Cube, all ISO-compliant and wind and watertight. Customers will be able to immediately see product and transportation costs on Eveon’s site during their shopping process, including volume discounts.

Customers can choose whether they want to collect the container themselves the next working day after payment, speeding up the process. Eveon also offers a regional delivery service with an independent trucking service with available delivery persons that allows customers to have a container delivered in 3-10 days within a varying radius of 150-350 miles of area per region. Customers wanting to confirm delivery zones can find details on Eveon’s site. An American, New Jersey based customer service team is also available and can be reached via chat, email and phone.

“We’re a 100 percent digitally native supplier enabling companies to buy containers directly from our online shop and have them delivered without needing to waste time on a prior quote or inquiry,” continued Aad. “Everything is listed on the site for efficient transactions.”

The full range of products and services can be viewed at https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-us.

About Eveon:

Eveon is the leading e-commerce provider for the commercial procurement of ISO containers, making the container market more accessible to end customers with fast service and fairer prices. Eveon makes it possible to buy containers directly online and have the delivery processed 100 percent automatically – without having to submit price enquiries in advance. Eveon was founded in 2020 by Aad Storm in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with the vision to revolutionize the global container market with an innovative web shop that offers more transparency, better prices and excellent service to both commercial and private customers.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LG Electronics USA and Sunverge Energy are collaborating on a groundbreaking residential virtual plant project with customers in Northern and Central California – one of the first pilot programs in the United States to incorporate both load control and PV/energy storage control holistically.


This unique project, which is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2022, explores ways in which intelligent and dynamic load control and solar/energy storage can be aggregated as dynamic multi-service and multi-asset VPPs, “creating value on both sides of the meter and helping utilities transition to more resilient and flexible distribution grids,” according to Martin Milani, CEO of Sunverge Energy, provider of an industry-leading distributed energy resource (DER) control, orchestration and aggregation platform.

To deliver grid and consumer services to 100 homes in Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s service area of Northern and Central California, the PG&E Battery Storage Pilot Program will use LG’s energy storage systems and Sunverge’s DER software platform. The project also incorporates energy management circuit breakers from Eaton Corp., enabling the Sunverge platform’s holistic load control capabilities, in addition to energy storage and solar photovoltaic control orchestration and aggregation.

“The project will evaluate a number of program design elements, including time of use and real-time pricing signals, load shaping and shifting, event-based demand response as well as contingency reserve, frequency regulation and voltage support ancillary services. This is an important project that we are excited to be a part of,” said Milani.

Stephen Hahm, energy vice president at LG Electronics USA, said, “Utilities are increasingly seeing the value that distributed clean energy resources, combined with energy storage and intelligent control and orchestration, can add real value to consumer, communities, grid and the utilities themselves.” In addition to the LG energy storage systems and ThinQ Energy app, some homes in the PG&E pilot project are expected to incorporate LG’s high-efficiency solar modules, he explained.

Sitting on top of the LG hardware and the Sunverge DER platform and optimization algorithms, the LG ThinQ Energy app “provides a platform for homeowners to engage with their home’s energy profile in new and creative ways.” Hahm added. For instance, the LG ThinQ Energy mobile app unlocks value by enabling customers to view and control their home’s solar generation, battery storage and load control.

U.S. Air Force, Department of Homeland Security, Johnson Controls Federal Systems and Fortune 500 financial services company highlight early customer traction

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#automation--RegScale, delivering continuous compliance automation for highly regulated public and private sector entities, was formally launched to the market today after spinning out from C2 Labs, a digital transformation services company. As part of this launch, RegScale also announced that it has secured an early funding round of $1.5M with participation from Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (formerly CIT), New Dominion Angels and several strategic investors, along with significant customer traction.


“Meeting compliance obligations has traditionally been a manual, time consuming, and expensive process,” said Travis Howerton, co-founder and chief technology officer, RegScale. “We are bringing the principles of DevOps to compliance to solve the most difficult compliance headaches that companies face and help them transition their manual, static compliance documentation and processes into a dynamic, automated, and collaborative platform. The cybersecurity industry has been heavily focused on the concept of ‘shifting left’ security to make cybersecurity real-time, continuous, and complete, which positions compliance as the new bottleneck in the digital transformation process. This new funding will allow us to scale up and ‘shift left’ compliance to accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and lower the costs of manual compliance documentation, which our customers are demanding.”

“Our customers are seeing real results by implementing RegScale, from saving $500,000 per year on their cyber insurance premiums to processing over 70 CMMC system security plans within a few months,” said Anil Karmel, co-founder and chief executive officer, RegScale. “One customer was able to dynamically report their state of compliance in real time in Tableau by integrating RegScale with Wiz.io, bringing in cloud compliance findings and marrying them against manual assessments of compliance controls. This allowed them to continuously meet their compliance obligations and update their documentation in real time.”

RegScale was built to help organizations in heavily regulated industries continuously manage the massive year over year growth in their compliance burden as they deal with fines that have increased more than 500% in recent years, according to McKinsey. The company’s continuous compliance automation solution moves organizations from manual compliance approaches and processes to an API-centric, automated approach.

Since the RegScale platform was launched in early 2021 (under the brand Atlasity), the company has seen more than 5,000 downloads of its freemium Community Edition and has signed on five major customers for its Enterprise Edition platform. Early customers include the U.S. Air Force (USAF), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a Fortune 500 financial services company, and Johnson Controls Federal Systems, which is using RegScale to manage compliance to the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standard.

THE REGSCALE DIFFERENCE

The RegScale founding team has deep expertise in government regulations and the industries they affect. Howerton served in multiple executive positions in government and industry, including as CTO for National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), deputy CIO at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and as the global director for strategic programs at Bechtel Corporation. Co-founder Anil Karmel was deputy chief technology officer at NNSA and developed cloud computing solutions for the Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Weapons Complex while at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Karmel currently serves as the President of the Cloud Security Alliance’s (CSA) Washington, DC Metro Area Chapter and is a member of the CSA’s CxO Trust Advisory Council.

RegScale customers benefit from simple TurboTax-like wizards and automated drag and drop workflows, allowing them to create compliance artifacts quickly while speeding approvals. This is enabled by applying DevOps principles to the process, enabling what RegScale refers to as a Regulatory Operations or RegOps approach. Customers can integrate their existing security and compliance platforms with RegScale, supporting both manual and real-time automated assessments to help organizations better understand and holistically manage compliance risks in a proactive manner.

The collaborative capabilities of the platform allow all stakeholders and data owners in the compliance process to work together in one platform to dramatically improve productivity and lower costs. The burdens of collecting documentation and fulfilling reporting requirements is significantly reduced for RegScale customers via its’ API-centric approach, allowing customers to use the same assessment information to comply with multiple compliance requirements as well as visualize their real-time state of compliance via their business intelligence platform of choice.

The company has built an open source community to encourage 3rd party collaborators to create integrations with the RegScale platform. These integrations are published freely as open source for use by RegScale’s customers to support the RegOps movement through the power of the open source ecosystem.

“Cyber Security and Compliance are top of mind for heavily regulated organizations.”, said Jim Reavis, Co-Founder and CEO of the Cloud Security Alliance. "Purpose-built solutions that can help organizations proactively manage compliance with applicable laws and regulations are critically needed, and we applaud RegScale for bridging the divide between security and compliance via automation."

RegScale is designed to meet any regulatory requirement with 70+ compliance requirements such as NIST, ISO, SOX, CMMC, and NERC-CIP supported out of the box and the ability for RegScale to digitize any regulation in under a week. A full list of the regulations supported in RegScale today is at https://regscale.com/regulations.

ABOUT REGSCALE

Founded in 2021, RegScale delivers continuous compliance automation for heavily regulated industries, freeing organizations from paper via its security and compliance automation software. Through its Continuous Compliance Automation platform, RegScale helps organizations continuously meet any compliance obligation including laws and regulations such as GDPR, NIST, CMMC, and CCPA leveraging an API-centric approach.

BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SWITCH Maritime is pleased to announce the world’s first hydrogen fueling of a commercial marine vessel was successfully completed on November 18th at All American Marine shipyard, and the vessel is now beginning its final sea trials before delivery. The event is monumental step towards decarbonization of the worldwide shipping industry and showcases the United States’ energy transition away from fossil fuels.



The new 75-passenger ferry, called the Sea Change, received hydrogen into its 242 kg tanks on the upper deck. It uses that hydrogen in fuel cells producing electricity to power electric motors for distances up to 300 nautical miles, and speeds up to 20 knots – similar capabilities as diesel-powered vessels – with the added benefits of zero exhaust smoke or other emissions and very little vibration and noise.

The fuel loaded in the vessel’s tanks includes green hydrogen, produced in California by an electrolyzer powered with renewable solar power, which results in zero carbon emissions in the production of the fuel as well.

“While it’s taken us years to get to this point, the timing couldn’t be better,” says Pace Ralli, CEO of SWITCH Maritime. “In this moment, our nation is more committed than ever to making the transition to a carbon-free economy. Hydrogen will play a major role in that future, and major players in the maritime industry are ready to decarbonize. We are grateful to all our partners, and proud to play a small role in accelerating the widescale adoption of hydrogen power. Hopefully this is just the first domino to fall.”

The fueling follows the regulatory approval in October by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) of the hydrogen powertrain and storage systems onboard the Sea Change, representing the culmination of years of cooperation with the USCG focused on safely integrating hydrogen power and storage systems on passenger vessels. The achievement of this significant milestone unlocks the possibility of many future deployments of similar hydrogen power systems on all vessel types – including ocean-going containerships.

Zero Emission Industries (ZEI), formerly Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine, is responsible for the design and development of the first-of-its-kind maritime hydrogen and fuel cell system as well as the vessel’s unique fueling system that allows it to be fueled directly from a hydrogen truck, and was responsible for the successful regulatory approvals of all hydrogen-related aspects onboard. ZEI is a cutting-edge hydrogen technology company that develops and sells turnkey hydrogen power systems, advanced fuel cell balance of plant sub-systems, fueling systems, and proprietary safety systems for a range of applications.

“We’re super excited to see the Sea Change start sea trials, and I felt proud watching our fueling and hydrogen systems operate in the real world for the first time,” said Danny Terlip, Lead Engineer at ZEI. “Our whole mission at ZEI is to build new technology that makes hydrogen accessible and easy to use, and this event demonstrates how far we’ve come.”

For the fueling during sea trials, SWITCH has engaged West Coast Clean Fuels (WCCF) to develop and permit the end-to-end clean fuel supply chains that will deliver hydrogen to the Sea Change, as well as BayoTech, for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen delivery to Sea Change during sea trials in Washington using transport trailer-to-ship transfer.

SWITCH’s vision is to achieve a fully zero-carbon fueling supply chain of green hydrogen, which is currently in short supply in the US. Building more and larger vessels that demand large volumes of hydrogen offtake will increase green hydrogen production volumes, and drive the cost of hydrogen lower than diesel, further advancing the rollout of hydrogen-fueled fleets.

About the Sea Change

The Sea Change project is managed and financed by SWITCH Maritime, an impact investment firm building the first fleet of exclusively zero-carbon maritime vessels for adoption by existing ship owners and operators. It is the first of the larger zero-carbon ferry fleet that SWITCH plans to construct in 2022, in partnership with municipalities and shipowners aiming to transition to carbon-free vessels, leveraging government grant funds related to transportation decarbonization activities targeted by the landmark US infrastructure bill.

Launched in August at All American Marine shipyard in Bellingham, Washington, the Sea Change is a 70-foot catamaran ferry designed by Incat Crowther, equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system from ZEI, which includes 360kW of fuel cells from Cummins and 242kg of hydrogen storage tanks from Hexagon Purus, and a 600kW electric propulsion system from BAE Systems which includes 100kWh of lithium-ion battery storage from XALT. The construction management was led by the Hornblower Group. Having successfully performed the first hydrogen fueling, the Sea Change is now performing final operational sea trials prior to delivery from the shipyard and before starting operations in the California Bay Area in Q1 2022.

The project is also partially funded by a $3 million grant from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), administered by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), that comes from the California Climate Investments initiative, a California statewide program that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment—particularly in disadvantaged communities.

Additionally, the project received the first ever loan guarantee under BAAQMD’s Climate Tech Finance program, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gases by accelerating emerging climate technologies. In partnership with the California Infrastructure Economic Development Bank and the Northern California Financial Development Corporation (NorCal FDC), the Climate Tech Finance team led a technology qualification and greenhouse gas analysis that deemed SWITCH eligible for a loan guarantee. This loan guarantee supported SWITCH in securing a $5 million construction and term loan with KeyBank, which enables SWITCH to bring this important project to completion.
