NS United Kaiun Kaisha and Vale International have agreed to equip the 400,000dwt-type very large ore carrier (VLOC)
with Anemoi Marine Technologies’ rotor sails
The installation is planned for September 2025
Rotor sails are devices that generate propulsion from wind power
potentially reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 6-12%
NSU TUBARAO has been under a long-term contract with Vale since its delivery in September 2020
the vessel has a deadweight of approximately 399,717mt and a gross tonnage of 197,453
NS United has been proactively seeking ways to enhance vessel efficiency and cut greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-saving devices like rotor sails and considering a shift to next-generation fuels
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
Anemoi Marine Technologies CEO Kim Diederichsen said: “The installation of Anemoi’s Rotor Sails on NSU TUBARAO
one of the largest vessels in the global fleet
marks another significant step forward for sustainable shipping
“It’s heartening to see industry leaders like NS United and Vale embracing innovative solutions to meet maritime’s environmental challenges
This latest project once again underscores the importance of collaboration in driving maritime decarbonisation.”
The rotor sails project is part of Vale’s efforts under the Ecoshipping programme
which also includes a project for incorporating multi-fuel tanks on iron ore carriers
Vale’s commitment to the maritime sector’s decarbonisation aligns with the International Maritime Organization’s goals and the Paris Agreement
Aiming for a 15% reduction in scope three emissions by 2035
established in partnership with shipowners
focuses on adopting technologies to lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions
Vale has operated the second-generation Valemaxes and
which are among the most efficient carriers globally

who bolsters the defending team with his freezing Zoto Canister gadget
slowing down Attackers’ movement and disabling their devices
The fourth season of Year 8 will also introduce a new map that’s appropriately named Lair
as it takes place in a cavern that hides the secret military installation of Deimos
Players will be able to study this map and others in the new Map Run training mode
and practice their site assaults against computer-controlled opponents in the new Versus AI mode
a major update to frag grenades will remove the ability to cook them
so players will have to rework their tactics to best employ those deadly explosives
Hailing from the Azores archipelago off the coast of Portugal
medium-health Defender who brings weapons and gadgets to help him thrive in both roamer and anchor roles
His MPX submachine gun offers a snappy response to any Attackers he engages
while his AR-15.50 designated marksman rifle (DMR) is modified to use .50 caliber rounds
packing a heavy punch that gives him some destructive versatility
With the P226 MK25 pistol as his sidearm and a choice of Nitro Cell or Proximity Alarm
Tubarão can adapt his playstyle to complement the many uses of his unique gadget
The Zoto Canister is a bit like an impact grenade in that Tubarão throws it and
the Zoto supercools anything caught in its radius; this means slowing down the movement speed of Operators and disabling or pausing gadgets
The iced-out area persists while the gadget is active
but eventually the gadget runs out of juice
and everything affected resumes normal operation
Attackers can thaw things out more quickly by destroying the Zoto canister itself; shooting it will suffice
but if they don’t have line of sight to the gadget
they can use Twitch or Zero’s gadget lasers
Note that the freezing area of effect created by the Zoto Canister doesn’t destroy gadgets or harm Operators; what it does is create a powerful window of opportunity for Tubarão and his team to destroy gadgets or harm Operators
Slowing an Operator hinders their movement and reactivity; this has obvious benefits in most engagements
but consider deploying a Zoto against an incoming Amaru to negate her speed advantage
or against a shield Operator to slow them down while you outmaneuver them
let’s take the classic Bandit trick example
in which Bandit deploys his unique battery gadget to electrify a reinforced wall that is currently being breached
destroying the breach charge just before it completes
If Tubarão sees a Thermite hard breach in-progress
he can deploy a Zoto canister in the area and instantly (temporarily) disable the gadget
he can also react quickly enough to pause a breach from Hibana or Ace
it gives Bandit or Kaid or Mute plenty of time to get their gadget denial gear in place
the breaching gadget will be destroyed or denied
Maverick is a good counter for Attackers looking to breach against Tubarão
not stopped; but delaying or denying a breach to help his team hold a wall is one of Tubarão’s strengths
Defenders need to be smart when playing off a Zoto freeze
because any gadgets they deploy in the frozen area will also be affected
To revisit the Bandit trick example: A Bandit battery would activate immediately upon thawing out
thus destroying the breach charge; however
a Kaid Electroclaw likely won’t have time to engage if it unfreezes at the same time as a breaching gadget
Be sure to place denial gadgets just outside the frozen area so they have time to arm before the freezing dissipates
which is important to keep in mind because a Zoto canister thrown on a ceiling will freeze the floor above
and if an Operator walks on a frozen floor
their footsteps will be visible from below
But a Nitro Cell won’t work in the frozen area
so Tubarão and his Nitro Cell-equipped allies will have to anticipate where their enemies will go and throw accordingly
Team up with an intel Operator like Pulse or Solis
and you’ve got a deadly combo for defending from below
This downstairs/upstairs freezing effect also comes in handy when defending against Ram
because the Zoto will pause a BU-GI Auto Breacher in its tracks and act as a powerful new counter against mechanical gadgets
And when you consider his synergies with trap Operators like Fenrir and Ela
where he can compound the disorienting effects of their gadgets with his Zoto’s slowing effect
Tubarão’s resumé as a site anchor is strong
But don’t sleep on his roaming capabilities
A well-placed Zoto Canister will disable a claymore and allow Tubarão to apply pressure from the Attackers’ flank; a Zoto can also put the chill on Nomad’s Airjab grenades
Tubarão’s gadget is versatile and its efficacy in a variety of situations allows him to be useful and impactful throughout the entire round
Tubarão will be unlockable at season launch through the Premium Battle Pass
and available two weeks later for purchase with Renown or R6 credits
The new map coming free to all players in Operation Deep Freeze is Lair
a secretive military installation where the masked antagonist Deimos prepares his assaults against Team Rainbow (there’s even a room on the top floor where you can see some of his previous plans)
Lair has numerous entry points on each floor
so Defenders will have to make the most of the Prep Phase to prepare for aggressive entry
A first-floor reception area does double duty as a rocket launch silo
providing a cheeky vertical entry point in the middle of the floor plan
while a basement-level lab sits smack in the center of the layout
surrounded by potential ingress points and flanking routes
Players will be able to load into matches on the Lair map at season launch through the Discovery Playlist
Map Run is a new training mode designed to help players learn the names and locations of key rooms through the maps of Rainbow Six Siege
These names are crucial tools in communication and map awareness
and you can practice learning these callouts in two Map Run variants
a race from location to location guided by Thermite; learn the names and fastest routes from place to place to enhance your ability to rotate and reposition
where you move through the map targeting shooting-range dummies placed in commonly used positions within each room
The dummies can even be set to fire back if you prefer to turn up the heat
Map Run will feature the Lair map along with six others (Bank
Another new training mode coming in Operation Deep Freeze is Versus AI
This pits you and your teammates against five AI Defenders who will reinforce walls
and play power positions as you try to attack the site
Versus AI is a great way to work on the basics of dismantling a site defense against dynamic opponents
Operation Deep Freeze is bringing one further update that will impact the way players use one of the deadliest generic gadgets in the game: frag grenades
Players will no longer be able to cook grenades (i.e
pull the pin and hold the grenade in-hand so as to better control when and where it explodes)
Frags will have a standard fuse timer that begins the moment the player throws them
and shortens by about one second when the frag hits a surface
twice as many Operators will now have access to frags
Use a more generic search term for better results

Japanese owner NS United Kaiun Kaisha (NSU) and Vale International (Vale) are partnering to install rotor sails on a 400,000 dwt valemax-sized ore carrier
Japanese diversified ship operator NSU and Brazilian multinational mining giant Vale have agreed to install five rotor sails on a very large ore carrier (VLOC)
September 2025 is the target date for installation of the system on board the 400,000-dwt VLOC NSU Tubarao
The vessel has been on a long-term transportation contract between NSU and Vale since its delivery in 2020
NSU Tubarao is one of the largest in NSU’s fleet and operates on long-haul routes
The project sits within Vale’s decarbonisation operations under its Ecoshipping programme
which targets a 15% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2035
UK-headquartered wind-assisted propulsion specialist Anemoi will supply the rotor sails
The rotor sails use the Magnus Effect to generate additional thrust for a vessel
with expected decreases in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of between 6-12%
Anemoi’s rotor sails are advanced versions of Flettner rotors
which have gained renewed interest as the shipping industry looks for add-on technology options to meet near-term decarbonisation targets
Anemoi recently received a Type Approval Design Certificate (TADC) from classification society DNV for its 35-meter rotor sail design
Anemoi CEO Kim Diederichsen will present on Flettner Rotor technology at the Riviera International Bulk Shipping Conference on 17 November 2024
Mr Diederichsen’s presentation will discuss design
and will address challenges and future scaling

Updates during the day from our global editorial team
Iron Ore Freight / Tubarao (BRA) -Rotterdam (EU) (Braemar)
Tubarão is giving attackers the cold shoulder
Rainbow Six Siege players can point to only a few moments where the cornerstone of its meta—breaching—saw upheaval
In 2015 the Bandit trick proved Thatcher could be countered
in 2018 Maverick offered an unstoppable (but risky) option to brute force a wall
Alternate options for breaching charges and EMPs have slotted nicely into the meta since then
but I'm not sure anyone is ready for Tubarão
Tubarão is the new defender of Operation Deep Freeze
entering testing this week and releasing in early December
2-armor operator packing the Zoto canister—a throwable sticky bomb that freezes everything in a few-meter radius
Operators who walk in the frozen area of effect are slowed and leave footprints that linger for several seconds
All gadgets in the fro-zone are deactivated with very few exceptions
He's sort of like having Mute's signal jammer in your pocket
and can interrupt breaching charges that have already begun detonating
It's an intimidating new piece on the board for attackers who've contended with reinforced walls the same way since 2015
Not even mechanical devices immune to Mute's effects
like Ram's breaching bots or secondary hard breach charges
Ubisoft has a habit of introducing gadgets that appear to just be better versions of older ones
and I do wonder if the Zoto will go on to outclass Mute or even Kaid
but I suspect two key weaknesses will rein him in: the Zoto canister can't destroy gadgets on its own
Frozen gadgets will thaw out as soon as the canister expires (around 10-12 seconds) to finish their job
or a well-thrown impact grenade to clear a wall
or else you've only delayed the inevitable
It's hard to gauge based on only a few matches with Tubarão
but I'm not sure how an attacking team is supposed to reasonably counter someone who can jam up a wall for over 40 seconds of the round (if he uses all four Zoto canisters)
Ubi says the lasers from Zero or Twitch's gadgets can destroy the Zoto from within
but we all know how unreliable a drone infiltration can be
your options are to disrupt wall defense from above (not easy
get a frag grenade into the room somehow (sometimes easy if there's a gap above the wall)
In an ideal scenario he could be instrumental in zapping away hard breach gadgets
he can still waste a lot of time that attackers can't spare
And that's only if you're using him for anti-breach
Tubarão's reactive throwables allow him to deny drone entry
reveal attacker footsteps for an easy vertical attack
or simply make a crucial chokepoint much harder to push in a clutch situation
The only thing holding Tubarão back is surviving long enough to make a difference
Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals
I'll be curious to see if Tubarão is as dominant in practice as he sounds on paper
He'll arrive in Operation Deep Freeze in December
a major nerf to frag grenades (they can't be cooked anymore)

Rainbow Six Siege is now gearing up to release another Season, and this time around we’re going to get a get bit cold with Operation Deep Freeze.
With the update looming, there’s no better time to dive into the brand new operator, Tubarão and all we know about him.
Each new character in Siege brings a brand new gadget to shake up the meta, and the brand new defender Tubarão is no different.
“Feel the chill of the new Zoto Canister. The Zoto Canister is a throwable device that can can slow enemies, freeze devices to pause their deployment and prevent use, and even leave footprints behind if the frozen area is walked on.”
In terms of the full kit that Tubarão is going to be able to use, it’s listed as follows.
We’re amped to see how this operator shakes up the meta, as he appears to be one of the strongest defenders currently in the game as of now, but we never know until the new season releases soon!

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of this iconic film, Chery Eddy and myself
decided to rewatch the movie and have a discussion about it
When I say “Jaws,” what’s the first thing you think of
Cheryl Eddy: The first moment in the movie that comes to mind is the famous zooming-in-and-out-at-the-same-time shot of Chief Brody sitting on the beach
realizing to his horror that the nightmare is true
and there’s a shark out there snacking on the beachgoers
and it perfectly captures the “OH SHIT” of that moment so well
Also “Spanish Ladies,” which is now stuck in my head
Lussier: Good choices! Yeah. That shot probably became one of the, if not the most, recognizable shots in the movie. And yes, now we encourage everyone reading to put “Spanish Ladies” on as the soundtrack for this article
chilling music he created hasn’t just become an unforgettable part of worldwide culture
gives me chills when I’m watching the movie
but his more “adventure” themes that play during the second half of the movie are right up there with his Indy and Star Wars stuff
many examples of his music completely making and elevating a film
And Steven Spielberg would be the first person to agree
https://gizmodo.com/star-wars-galaxys-edge-just-won-a-grammy-1841263021
Obviously most people know the stories of why Spielberg had to hide the shark for most of the movie and how that worked to his advantage
and it’s more or less a character in the film
Do you remember the first time you saw the movie
Eddy: I can’t specifically remember the first time
But I do remember the first time I learned about Jaws as a thing—when I was around six years old
I can’t really remember anything about that trip other than I was afraid of Space Mountain (at Disneyland) and then Jaws jumping out of the water on the Universal Studios tour
I was probably too young to see the movie at the time but it made a huge impression on me
Lussier: No, I don’t remember either. I feel like it’s always been a part of me like most movies from that late ‘70s, early ‘80s era
What I do remember is that my mom used to tell me about the first time she saw the movie
and then didn’t go in an ocean for several years
when the body pops out of the boat and specifically warned my wife “scary part coming” she still jumped and spilled coffee on herself
Eddy: Definitely! The frights still hold up, along with the gross stuff. The crabs creeping all over the body on the beach at the beginning, then when Richard Dreyfuss’ character is ripping into the (not-Jaws) shark to see what’s in there. Brutal especially for a pre-PG-13 movie
And he also makes the scene where he’s performing the autopsy on the first victim
but his reactions of terror and disgust are almost scarier than anything you do see
Your imagination is always scarier than reality
Eddy: It’s hard to pick a favorite actor or character…Dreyfuss is so good
the supporting characters (the terrible mayor
but it doesn’t get much better than Robert Shaw as Quint
(Obviously the shark is the BEST character
I mean among the human characters of course
The fact that he dies makes him kind of the standout
We learn about his past a little but for the most part
This gruff guy who apparently hunts sharks
He’s got all these literal jaws hanging around his place
I also never noticed until watching it again recently that he has like a little assistant who follows him around on the land
You can really watch it dozens of times and notice new things every time
Lussier: Well let’s jump off that to the main point of our little chat
This week marks the 45th anniversary of the film
Was there anything else you noticed about it in 2020
really don’t miss the things we take for granted in movies today
I always forget how it’s pretty perfectly divided into two parts: the build-up
where the main conflict is Brody trying to get the mayor to close the damn beaches; and then the part aboard the Orca
survive the shark once it starts attacking them in earnest
The way the movie keeps showing you the canisters Brody is going to shoot at the end to remind you they’re there
The way the yellow barrels develop a personality of their own
the way the chemistry between the three leads slowly builds across the movie
Eddy: The scene below deck where they’re comparing their wounds
and then Quint goes into “the speech”—still chilling every time
Eddy: It’s pretty wild to think this was Spielberg’s second feature
Lussier: And he wasn’t even 30 when he made it
He knows it’s the wrong thing but he needs to get that economy going
And then Chief Brody literally has the line “I can do anything
is meant to be a joke but doesn’t feel like a joke today
But it was just eye-opening to recontextualize this movie with a 2020 viewpoint
It’s a movie that shows us just how far we’ve come
It’s a testament to the film that you can still look at it almost half a century later and find things about it to discuss
Or maybe it’s a testament to society that we’re still stuck in some of these same ruts
https://gizmodo.com/the-5-best-worst-jaws-rip-offs-1836013736
Eddy: Hollywood has evolved in some ways since 1975
Eddy: Yes, definitely. The shark reputation will never recover from Jaws (and all the rip-off movies that came after it)
Do you think people will still be talking about it in another 45 years
even though Spielberg has directed a zillion other huge movies
it’ll always be among his top accomplishments
“Here’s to swimmin with bow-legged women!”
Spielberg has only gotten better and better and his reputation
along with about a million other notable things about it
means people will be revisiting Jaws for as long as people are watching movies

Drone footage filmed off the coast of California shows a 1.5-metre-long
probably just hours old – something that has never been seen before
By Matthew Sparkes
A possible newborn great white shark filmed off the California coast near Santa Barbara
A newborn great white shark may have been spotted in the wild for the first time
Although great whites are found in seas and oceans around the world
very little is known about where and how they give birth
Read more
Orcas sink another sailboat as a bewildering wave of attacks continues
Wildlife film-maker Carlos Gauna and Phillip Sternes from the University of California, Riverside, were filming with a drone off Santa Barbara on California’s coast when they saw a 1.5-metre-long
not just because it was much smaller than adult great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) that are up to three times longer
but because these sharks are normally grey on top
The pair had previously seen large, possibly pregnant great whites in the area sink into the depths for long periods, and they noticed that this young shark was shedding something from its skin as it swam
They realised that it was probably a pup born nearby still shedding its embryonic layer – something has never been observed before
Gauna hopes that the sighting will tell us more about the life cycle of the great white
It is generally believed that they give birth in deeper water
but this observation calls that into question
“Because most of the scientific community believed filming a newborn so close to shore wasn’t likely
“The piece of the puzzle this footage provides does have the potential to change the direction of where we should be looking.”
“Capturing the actual birth is the holy grail of shark science
What I filmed is simply a clue that gets us closer to it,” he says
“Because of the limitations of filming underwater [and] the unpredictability of the event
it’s a tall order to capture the actual birth.”
Charles Underwood at Birkbeck
says only three or four great white sharks under a year old have previously been found in the wild – they are few enough that researchers have nicknamed them all
relative to our abilities to look through the sea.”
Gauna and Sternes say one sighting isn’t enough to put an end to the mystery
and more work needs to be done to determine if their sighting was typical
But if we discover that coastal waters are important for the life cycle of great whites
politicians should move to protect these areas to ensure the sharks’ safety

Jan 21 (Reuters) – Brazil’s Vale SA said on Thursday a court ordered the temporary suspension of activities at its Port of Tubarão
halting the world’s largest iron ore exporter’s ability to ship more than a third of its output because of environmental concerns
imports and exports at one of Latin America’s biggest and most important ports have been paralyzed
its docks loaded 82.5 million tonnes of iron ore destined for steelmakers around the world in the first nine months of 2015
Tubarão handles coal imports and steel exports for the Brazilian unit of ArcelorMittal SA
ArcelorMittall said the operation of the port was Vale’s responsibility
The shutdown was ordered because of alleged pollution of air and water by coal
iron ore and other port activities and comes as Vale is under increasing pressure over environmental issues
Vale already faces a 20 billion real ($4.89 billion) lawsuit over a deadly October breach of an iron ore tailings dam at Samarco Mineração SA
Vale’s 50-50 joint iron ore venture with Australia’s BHP Billiton Ltd
Vale said in a statement that it will take all judicial measures necessary to guarantee the reopening of the port
It said the closure will have serious economic impact on Espirito Santo state
the state where iron ore exported at Tubarão is mined
Vale has had a long and torturous relationship with the government and environmentalists in Vitoria
many have complained of dust and other air pollutants coming from the giant man-made port

how her partner fought it off with his fists and why we need to help the fish that bit her
Chantelle Doyle lies diagonally across her hospital bed with her heavily bandaged right leg propped up on a chair at a 30-degree angle
the 35-year-old was surfing with her partner
when a 2.5m juvenile great white took her leg in its mouth and severed the nerves below her right knee
What Rapley did in the seconds that followed in the surf off Shelly Beach near the New South Wales city of Port Macquarie has made news bulletins across the country and parts of the globe

jumped on to her back and rained punches down on to the animal’s head and near its eye until it let go and slipped away
Doyle has not spoken publicly until now about that day; about how in those first moments the shark readjusted its grip on her three times; how she feared Rapley’s punches might not be enough; and how she poked fun at her helpers as they dropped her on the way to the ambulance thanks to the surfboard-come-stretcher that was slippery with her blood
she has been doing a lot of thinking – talking to shark experts and conservationists
“They said maybe it did just want to eat me,” she says
in return for being compelled by the high drama – and there is much of that – Doyle wants people to know why sharks are important and why the oceans need them
She wants people to donate to a crowdfunding campaign for a marine charity
She wants people to “be the best versions of themselves” and treat the planet more gently
along with Rapley and their three-year-old son
at her parents’ place near the picture-perfect coves and beaches of Port Macquarie

Photograph: StephaneDebove/Getty Images/iStockphotoBut that morning her thoughts were muddled and she thought some fresh air and a surf might help
But Shelly Beach around the corner looked good
It was sunny and clear when they paddled out – Doyle first
catching a small rip to take them out near two surfers on longboards
She moved closer to shore where the waves were breaking
something hit me underneath the board with enough thrust to throw me up and off the board,” she says
“I just thought – ‘whale or shark’ – and I looked down and there was nothing grey
I felt something grab my leg – I think I yelled ‘Shark
“It grabbed me and I grabbed the board and it readjusted … There were three distinct readjustments of the jaws
“It was like being bitten by a dog – it’s painful but it’s more this intense pressure and squeezing and crushing.”
Rapley was about 10 metres away and saw Doyle thrown off and started paddling to her
It’s a gut feeling,” he says of the moment when his partner Chantelle – who he calls “Chon” with a soft “sh” sound – was taken
He was only a metre away when he glimpsed the shark
He slipped off his board and on to Doyle’s back and
gave the shark punches with his right fist

but after the first two it felt ineffectual.”
The shark’s flesh was hard – like a professional boxing bag
I expected from all those videos to see a teethy jawline – but I didn’t see that.”
The shark’s head and eyes (which Rapley has seen in his thoughts repeatedly since) were above the water line
He aimed his punches more towards the shark’s eye and kept swinging furiously “until I thought it would let go”
His assault lasted maybe only 10 seconds or so
but the pair have talked about those seconds since
But after eight or 10 punches – Rapley is not quite sure – the shark opened its jaws and swam away
Chantelle did not see the shark that bit her

Photograph: Matthew AbbottRapley got back into the water to get to his partner’s shoulder to talk to her
She says there was little pain at this point – “I think it was adrenaline” – and it wasn’t until she thought she was semi-safe the pain began to rise
But she could not feel anything below her right knee
“It was like this heavy weight hanging off the back of my leg
Doyle and Rapley repositioned themselves on their boards
two other surfers had arrived to help and they all paddled their own boards ashore – two either side of Doyle with Rapley behind
Doyle’s group caught a wave that surged them to the beach
I slid off the side of the board into the shallow water and laid there wondering … ‘What do we do now?’”
But Rapley had missed the wave and was left behind
View image in fullscreenMark Rapley takes his partner
Photograph: Matthew AbbottThere was blood in the water
but Rapley did not know how bad Doyle’s injuries were
“I had this fear of arriving with half her calf missing or blood jumping out everywhere,” he says
then the fear goes away a bit and you’re thinking about getting her to safety.”
One of the surfers grabbed Doyle under the shoulders and pulled her on to the sand
A nurse who was on the beach and had seen the drama unfold knelt down
saw the wound and said: “You’re going to have to tourniquet that right now.”
the leg rope from her surfboard was ripped off for a tourniquet
“I knew my leg was there but I didn’t want to look at it after that
I was very nauseous but was starting to be in a lot of pain.”
but the car park was 700m away down the beach
Rapley and four others took about 20 minutes to carry Doyle to meet the ambulance
but she didn’t want to make her saviours feel guilty

Photograph: Port Macquarie ALS Lifeguards“I just remember thinking that I had to be nice,” she says
She was taken to a local hospital and then – seeing the amount of micro-surgery that was needed – she was flown by helicopter to the bigger city of Newcastle and John Hunter Hospital
she was moved again to a hospital closer to Sydney
“I have said to Mark that I had a feeling I was going to be bitten one day,” she says
“Our attitude is that life throws you big challenges
here’s that big challenge we were waiting for.’”
she has had an allergic reaction and is “lying here with chamomile lotion over three-quarters of my body” to ease the itching

nurses and skin specialists are coming and going
but she feels the need to apologise for the interruptions
There are flowers everywhere – “it smells like a florists” – but the slowly deflating balloons match her mood from earlier today
The shark severed the nerve in her leg below the knee
She has only limited feeling and there is no movement yet
There will be challenges thrown up constantly over the coming months and years
One for seven hours to repair damage to muscles
bone and nerves and fix up the gashes and another for four hours to do a skin graft over an orange-sized hole in her calf

doctors are unsure about how well the leg and nerves will heal

Rapley has been the media face so far as the hero who punched a shark to save the girl
But now the pair are compelled to talk about something else before the media moves on
Already, they have started a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the Australian Marine Conservation Society with a catchy hashtag – #punchingforhealthyoceans

“But they are a keystone species and we want our kids to have a nicer environment
I’ve seen the Great Barrier Reef collapsing
“I think I’m more interested in sharks now
I’m a scientist but I work on terrestrial areas and hadn’t done much marine work
“I’m actually proud that Australia has marine systems that are healthy and sharks are an integral part of that
Having sharks means you have higher densities of fish
The two have thought carefully about how they interpret what happened
and also how their reaction to it should not exclude others from having entirely different responses
But they have settled on how they are going to refer to it
“We are calling it the encounter,” Doyle says
They have been talking with experts on sharks
and speaking to the state’s Department of Primary Industries about its SharkSmart program
View image in fullscreenA Bite Club key ring
Photograph: Mark RapleyDoyle was curious if the shark had mistaken her for something else – maybe a seal
“But they said maybe it did just want to eat me.” Juvenile sharks seem to be more troublesome than others
While unprovoked shark bites are extremely rare, Australia’s love for ocean recreation means they get more than other countries. There have been six deaths from sharks this year
For years the approach has been nets on beaches and state-managed hooks in the water to catch large sharks
But those hooks kill sharks and also kill other marine animals
Some studies have suggested the numbers of large sharks in Australia is dropping. Globally, research suggests reef sharks are in a precipitous decline in many places
Doyle is encouraged there is a move towards less invasive smarter technologies; hooks with sensors so fisheries staff can catch and release; drones in the air to warn bathers; real-time phone app updates on locations of tagged sharks; and research into personal shark deterrents
The pair want to see measures around the world that keep both bathers and sharks safe
View image in fullscreenChantelle Doyle and Mark Rapley in the patient garden at John Hunter Hospital
Photograph: Matthew AbbottDoyle says: “A way to get positives is to learn more about sharks and to start this fundraising
That’s to make the most of this event – this encounter
if you have this niggle of guilt that you should be doing something better
Whether it’s picking up rubbish or putting those solar panels up
“We want this to encourage everyone to just be the best version of themselves
We all know when we’re taking the easy option.”
Rapley says: “We are openly taking this opportunity to turn the attention away from us
Chantelle would hate the attention on her – she’s trying to divert attention.”
They have been in touch with a charity group known as the Bite Club that supports people who have been bitten by sharks or families who have lost loved ones from encounters
Doyle says: “I do know that some families have taken some comfort from shark bite survivors when you say that
the answer is complicated and he is still working it through
He is not scared but he is now thinking if it would be selfish “if something happened and I left them”

“It just might take a few years of rehabilitation before I can surf again.”

Brazilian oil and gas company PetroRio has started production from a new well on the Tubarão Martelo field offshore Brazil
In June 2020, Dommo Energia – then operator of Tubarão Martelo – announced the positive results of the workover
which increased the field’s production levels to approximately 7,000 barrels of oil per day
The company said that the revitalization of mature fields was a fundamental part of PetroRio’s strategy and “plays an important role in the company’s continued reduction of lifting costs per barrel
in the continued increase in the recovery factor of fields operated by the company
and in the continuous increase in the economic life of its assets”

warm-blooded porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus) is distributed throughout the temperate north Atlantic and southern hemisphere
Populations of the porbeagle have been severely depleted around the globe
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species assessed the porbeagle as Vulnerable globally
Endangered in the northwest Atlantic and Critically Endangered in the Mediterranean and northeast Atlantic
The porbeagle falls into the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) lowest productivity category
meaning it has an extremely low reproductive capacity and thus is particularly vulnerable to overexploitation
It is also one of the ocean's most vulnerable species
This species yields significant commercial value for both its large fins and its meat and is taken in both targeted and bycatch fisheries
The international demand for porbeagle meat and fi ns has driven populations to very low levels across its range
Recent assessments show that because porbeagle populations have been severely depleted
it is unable to fulfill its key role in the marine ecosystem
Porbeagle populations are reduced by about 70 percent of their historical levels wherever they are found
and in some places declines are even steeper
porbeagles have virtually disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea
Although management has improved within some of the porbeagle's range because of domestic fi sheries measures
such as a management plan in Canadian waters and a retention prohibition in the European Union
almost no international conservation or management measures for the species are in place on the high seas (areas beyond national jurisdiction)
The North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) has prohibited the targeting and retention of porbeagle sharks
but the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has still failed to act; within the porbeagle's southern range
there are no conservation or management measures on the high seas whatsoever
This adds up to huge areas where the porbeagle has no protection
Because the species is extremely vulnerable to both targeted shark longline fisheries and bycatch throughout its range
further depletion is likely to render this species at risk of extinction
enforcement and compliance are often weak and significant levels of mortality remain
the porbeagle was included in CITES Appendix III
The listing requires that an export permit be issued for wildlife products exported from the country that included the species in Appendix III
20 of the 27 EU Member States and Australia
that included the species in Appendix III need to issue export permits
All other CITES Parties are required to issue a certificate of origin confirming that the specimen is not from the country that included the species in Appendix III
but other scientifi c fi ndings are not required
A proposal to include the porbeagle in CITES Appendix II was proposed at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP15) and was endorsed by the FAO
the proposal very narrowly missed being adopted
A new Appendix II proposal has been submitted by the EU Member States
and Egypt for consideration by the Parties at CoP16
It is clear from continued assessments that the population has not recovered
and further analysis shows it is in a worse state globally than in 2010
while international trade is still significant
Although the recent inclusion of porbeagle sharks on CITES Appendix III is a positive step
an Appendix II listing is vital to ensuring that they are managed throughout their range to prevent overexploitation due to international trade
A CITES Appendix II listing of the porbeagle is scientifically justified and essential to ensuring that international trade occurs only from fisheries that are legal and sustainable and that trade data are recorded

The smooth hammerhead shark (Sphyrna zygaena) and great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran) are listed as look-alike species in the scalloped hammerhead proposal
The scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini)
one of the most recognizable shark species with its hammer-shaped head
The scalloped hammerhead is subject to targeted fisheries
It is exploited primarily to satisfy a growing global demand for its fi ns
which are some of the most valuable in the fin trade
Hammerheads frequently aggregate in large numbers
which makes them even more vulnerable to fishing efforts
they are assessed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species as Endangered globally and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) assigns them to the lowest-productivity category
meaning that they have an extremely low reproductive capacity and are one of the ocean's most vulnerable species
Fisheries surveys in the northwest Atlantic have documented hammerhead loss of up to 98 percent
landings in the southwest Atlantic have declined by up to 90 percent
and declines of more than 99 percent have occurred in some parts of the Mediterranean Sea
Although their distinctive body shape makes hammerheads easy to identify as a genus
it can be diffi cult to distinguish scalloped hammerheads from the similar-looking smooth (S
but market-based scientific inquiries have yielded important trade information
Dealers have stated that hammerhead fins are some of the most valuable
The three hammerhead species combined make up approximately six percent of the identified fins entering the Hong Kong market
scientists have estimated that 1.3 million to 2.7 million scalloped and smooth hammerheads are exploited for the fin trade every year
A few countries and only one regional fisheries management organization (RFMO) have conservation or management measures for hammerheads
but RFMOs do not regulate international trade
hammerheads are among the shark species that are most often fished illegally
the scalloped hammerhead was included in CITES Appendix III
Appendix III requires that an export permit be issued for parts and products exported from the country that included the species in Appendix III (Costa Rica and Australia in this case)
All other countries must issue a certificate of origin showing that it is not from the country that listed the species; but other scientific findings are not required
A proposal to include scalloped hammerheads in Appendix II was submitted at CoP15 and was endorsed by the FAO
the proposal narrowly missed being adopted
Although the recent inclusion of scalloped hammerhead sharks on CITES Appendix III is a positive step
an Appendix II listing is vital to ensuring that hammerhead sharks are protected throughout their range from overexploitation due to international trade
A CITES Appendix II listing for scalloped hammerheads would greatly improve the future health of populations by regulating international commerce in their products
ensuring trade occurs only from sustainable and legal fi sheries
and enhancing data-reporting and enforcement efforts

Ubisoft revealed the latest plans for Rainbow Six Siege's next content update
as Year Eight - Season Four brings a new operator and map
Ubisoft revealed a ton of new information this afternoon for Rainbow Six Siege during the BLAST R6 Major Atlanta
detailing Eight – Season Four content
A brand new defender will be introduced named Tubarão
who primarily works with cryogenic gadgets to keep the attackers frozen while also providing decent cover with their loadout
The game will also be getting a new ranked map they're calling LAir
as they've mostly been giving revamps to their previous designs
We have more info about the season and much more
including a special Street Fighter crossover with Capcom
Operation Deep Freeze sees new Defender Tubarão keep the competition hot
He stays cool-headed with his Zoto Canister gadget
which releases a freezing compound that will impair Operators movement and any other gadgets in its area of effect
any Operator footprints passing the area will be recorded
This gadget can disrupt both enemy and friendly gadgets
it offers players an opportunity to regain control of a round
Tubarão is a two-speed and two-health Operator
with a loadout featuring an MPX or AR-15.50 as his primary weapon and a P226 MK 25 as his secondary weapon
Competition heats up this season with the new Ranked map Lair
and the map is designed for players to experiment with different playstyles as they navigate its multiple entrances and three floors
and the exterior has unique entry points to all three floors
Just as Deimos created this facility to calculate his operations against Rainbow
players can strategize their navigation of Lair for success during matches
Player protection efforts continue to grow with a Reputation System update, providing more information on what impacts player standing. This season introduces the Grace Period phase, where players will be onboarded, learn more about player standing, and give everyone a chance to improve their standing without any penalties before the Reputation System fully launches. This builds on the Commendation System
which allows players to commend each other after a match and rewards players with increased Alpha Pack drop rates
Starting November 12, players can go to the Marketplace to register for a chance to access the Beta of the Rainbow Six Siege Marketplace to sell or buy in-game items with R6 Credits
two new features arrive this season: Versus AI and Map Training
Versus AI will allow players to do a match against AI defender bots that mimic real players
while Map Training is an innovative tool to learn and master maps
Map Training will launch with seven maps to start
the update will also add full controller remapping
a big feature for controller players coming later this season
Also coming to Operation Deep Freeze is balancing for Operator Mira
In partnership with the iconic Street Fighter franchise
two bundles featuring characters from Street Fighter 6 will land this season: Ying as Chun-Li and Grim as Ryu
Dead By Daylight are saying trans rights by adding Tubarāo – an “unbreakable” trans man from Rainbow Six Siege (Behaviour Interactive)
Dead by Daylight has shown its undying support to the LGBTQ+ community once again
and this time they’ve got us all hooked by introducing the game’s first transgender character
Tubarão is an “unbreakable” trans man from Rainbow Six Siege
Though he is currently not playable in Dead by Daylight or Rainbow Six Siege
he will not be an entirely new character and will instead be introduced in the form of a legendary cosmetic skin for character Renato Lyra
the 35th defender is from Portugal and is able to “slow down enemies
freeze devices to pause their deployment and prevent use” with “throwable canisters”.
Our first* Trans representation in DBD will be Tubarão from Rainbow 6 Siege as a Legendary cosmetic for Renato Lyra! 🏳️⚧️It’s been officially confirmed, and it’s apart of his lore in his original game.* The Birch is not a Legendary or Ultra Rare, it’s Hag herself. pic.twitter.com/q8PfYP17Cg
Despite Tubarão being Dead by Daylight’s first trans character, this is not the first time the game has uplifted and celebrated the LGBTQ+ community
From proudly featuring a wide range of LGBTQ+ pride flags as customisable pins for your character
to the annual Pride month “Into the Rainbow” event
it’s clear that DBD’s allyship is here to stay
In June 2023, a Dead By Daylight charity live stream took place benefiting the It Gets Better project. To the excitement of gaymers everywhere, the event was hosted by drag superstar and all-round legend Trixie Mattel alongside full time streamer Negaoryx
Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive announced last year that fan favourite survivor David King is gay
In a news post to the game’s official site
“The fact that our character roster did not openly feature any confirmed LGBTQIA2+ representation was something we have been determined to change.”
“One of the cornerstones of that community are our LGBTQIA2+ players
who continue to elevate Dead by Daylight with their tireless passion for horror
“Upon consulting extensively with the GaymerX organization
who shared their expertise at integrating LGBTQIA2+ themes into established games
we’re pleased to confirm that Dead by Daylight can officially celebrate the game’s first gay character: David King.”

Late Pride month art cuz I was so busy + David King from DbD to celebrate him being GAY pic.twitter.com/kpN938W7mi
david king confirmed gay pic.twitter.com/nrZUCZBcjY
Celebrating Dead by Daylight’s first trans character opens up a world of possibilities for greater queer and trans representation later down the line
allowing LGBTQ+ gamers to know they have a home in the world of gaming.

A consortium of “Jaws” superfans, shark conservationists, and key figures who worked on the 1975 blockbuster on Martha’s Vineyard have launched a crowdfunding campaign to build a replica of The Orca
the boat used in Steven Spielberg’s hit movie
hopes to transform a Nova Scotia-style lobster boat named the Lydia into the Orca III
which will be used for great white shark research and for educational tours on the waters of the Vineyard
Bigelow’s love affair with “Jaws” began when he was cast as an extra in the film as a 5-year-old living in Oak Bluffs. His elementary school drama teacher, the late Lee Fierro (who played Mrs
convinced Bigelow and other classmates to come film a scene
Bigelow is one of the kids throwing a football in the water when Alex Kintner is killed by the titular shark
Bigelow said that while he and other kids appeared scared on screen
“I did that for six hours that day,” Bigelow said
“They had wool blankets and hot chocolate for us between takes
We had to wait for the fake blood to dissipate every time they staged a new shot
which took 45 minutes to an hour every time.”
Bigelow originally purchased the Lydia for use in “Making the Monster,” a six-part docudrama he hopes to make about the making of “Jaws” on Martha’s Vineyard. But with the continued proliferation of sharks in local waters
Bigelow decided the boat would be better suited for conservation
Bigelow said he has spoken to shark researcher Greg Skomal — who Bigelow called a modern- day Matt Hooper
played by Richard Dreyfuss in “Jaws” — about the boat being used to tag great whites
“Greg said the most important part for tagging great whites is having a pulpit that extends off the bow of the boat so that you can tag them easily from just overhead,” Bigelow said
Skomal said that it was somewhat surprising
given that “Jaws” is synonymous with Martha’s Vineyard
that the island has been the subject of relatively little shark research compared to Cape Cod
“I want to get to know what’s happening around Martha’s Vineyard,” Skomal said in a video promoting the project
That’s an area that’s really been devoid of research
and that’s where we want to begin to focus our attention.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wBzBvVJDTk&feature=emb_title
Bigelow also sees the Orca III being used for tours
which will allow “Jaws” fans from around the world to learn more about the film and about sharks
He estimates the Orca III could be used for tours about 80 percent of the time
with free tours being offered to local school groups and charities
“The need for education around sharks is really strong,” Bigelow said
“To avoid any further problems or fatalities with sharks
I think the boat could be a great focal point of interest.”
Bigelow will have two experts at the ready to help make the Orca III a reality: Joe Alves
the production designer for “Jaws,” and Chris Crawford
who transformed a boat called the Warlock into the original Orca back in 1974
During any scene in “Jaws” where the Orca was out at sea
the Lydia is sitting in Crawford’s backyard
while Alves will provide design expertise from California
Bigelow and Co. are hoping to raise at least $150,000 through their crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo
dubbed “Return of the Orca.” The funds would go toward labor costs for rebuilding the boat
‘A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into,’” Bigelow said
A mock-up of what Bigelow hopes the Orca III will look like
Bigelow believes strongly in the potential benefits of the project in terms of research and education
Bigelow cited the work of late “Jaws” author Peter Benchley and his wife Wendy as an inspiration for the Orca III’s planned mission. For years, the late author was troubled by his book’s contribution to America’s fear of sharks
and he and Wendy dedicated their lives to shark conservation
but people became very fearful of sharks,” Bigelow said
“Wendy has made it her mission for years to demystify sharks and turn back the clock on their demonization.”
In a statement posted to Return of the Orca’s website
“The return of the Orca is a celebration for the fans of Jaws as well as an exciting new resource in the pursuit of a greater understanding about our oceans and the life teeming in it,” Benchley said
“We are so happy that we can be a part of this exciting project.”

Brazilian oil and gas company PetroRio has been granted a royalty rate reduction for the Tubarão Martelo field by the country’s authorities in an effort to incentivise investment in revitalization
Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP) approved PetroRio’s Development Plan for the cluster consisting of the Polvo and Tubarão Martelo offshore fields
The Tubarão Martelo field is located in the south of the Campos Basin
on the northern coast of the Rio de Janeiro State
the ANP granted PetroRio a royalty rate reduction for the Tubarão Martelo field
as an incentive to invest in the field’s revitalization
the approval establishes the reduction of the royalty rate from 10 per cent to 5 per cent on the incremental production resulting from the field’s investments
based on the concession contract and on Resolution 749/18
which regulates the royalty rate reduction on incremental production for mature fields
incremental production from new investments in Tubarão Martelo field will have their royalty rate reduced to 5 per cent
including the production of the TBMT-10HP well
expected to start production in September this year
The well will be completed using the Kingmaker rig
The update comes about two weeks after PetroRio concluded the tieback between the Polvo and Tubarão Martelo fields
making it the first independent company to create a private cluster of mature fields in the Campos Basin region
PetroRio acquired the FPSO Bravo
which has been operating on the Tubarão Martelo field since 2012
in February 2020 to enable the tieback between the two fields due to their proximity
The company then also agreed with Dommo Energia for an acquisition of an 80 per cent stake in the Tubarão Martelo
The tieback project between the Polvo-A platform and the Bravo FPSO (former OSX-3) was completed in 11 months
and would enable an operational cost reduction of $50 million per year for the company
The cost reduction of the new cluster will allow more oil to be recovered for a longer period
increasing considerably the recovery factor of the fields
representing an extension of 10 years for Polvo and 12 years for Tubarão Martelo
