It is my pleasure to share the exciting news that BLK has been selected as the winner for Scotland Prestige Awards!

This is in recognition of the massive work we have done especially in support of local Scottish businesses, enabling them to source directly from suppliers and cut their supply chain costs as well as carbon footprint.

The Scotland Prestige Guide will be available to over 500,000 subscribers on a national basis. It will also reach over 100,000 readers located in Scotland and surrounding regions in both print and digital formats. Copies will be sent directly to businesses and homes across the region. 

Each year the organisers invite both readers and contributors to the Corporate Livewire and LTG publications to put forward companies, products, services and individuals who they feel are deserving of recognition. Each nominee is reviewed by a panel of judges who ultimately pick a winner in each area.  

"We are proud to support the local economies, sourcing directly and streamlining their costs, especially in these difficult times where inflation and cost of raw materials is driving prices up across the board, challenging businesses’ very viability. By allowing local businesses reduce their procurement cost, we have a direct impact on thousands of families across Scotland and the UK and we are privileged to be able to do our bit to ensure local business continuity and growth"

Open banking. Lessons, challenges and opportunities for Latin America

In the last two decades, Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved important achievements in terms of macroeconomic stability and many countries were able to capitalize on their surplus income from exports of natural resources in favor of social development, with noticeable gains in reduction of poverty. However, the region remains significantly challenged to achieve sustained and sustainable economic growth and to match the most developed nations. This became very evident with the crisis resulting from COVID19 containment measures that disproportionately affected the region and returned millions of people in the region to poverty.

One of the most important challenges is the persistent low productivity that affects all countries and all sectors. Suffice it to say that European microenterprises are on average more productive than medium-sized enterprises in Latin America. Therefore, it is necessary to redouble efforts to promote a sustained increase in factor productivity, through the adoption of public policies that improve the business environment and regulatory frameworks, promote the financial inclusion of individuals and companies, promote the modernization of infrastructure, favor the adoption of good practices by institutions and companies, among other aspects, in such a way as to achieve a better allocation of resources and an accurate impulse to productive innovation.

CAF has prioritized productivity as a central axis for action within its strategy to support shareholder countries, which is reflected in credit operations in favor of governments, private companies and financial institutions, as well as in technical assistance and knowledge generation.

In particular, with the series "Public Policies and Productive Transformation" we seek to disseminate good practices and successful policies in Latin America, with the purpose of making available to countries the best and most efficient strategies for productivity, inclusion, growth and development.

Good morning

Link to the video-conference (replay) :  https://www.iea.org/events/post-cop26-priorities-supporting-africa-s-clean-energy-transitions

When global leaders and key stakeholders gathered in Glasgow for COP26 last November, many highlighted Africa’s important and growing role in the dialogue on energy and climate. The continent currently accounts for one sixth of the world’s population but it only represents 5,8% of global energy consumption. Africa’s rapidly rising population, industrialization and economic growth are driving its emergence as a key player in the world’s energy markets. To facilitate the expansion of the continent’s energy sector to provide universal access and meet demand, critical decisions will need to be taken to facilitate the necessary financing and investment in clean technologies and infrastructure. One area of enormous opportunity is renewable energy, due to Africa’s geographical position and to technological progress globally. With strong support from member countries, the IEA has ramped up its activities in Africa, and is working to support countries with their clean energy transitions. 

This event was chaired by Minister Van der Straeten from Belgium and explored how African governments, industry and multilateral organisations can work together to secure adequate investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies to meet the continent’s increasing energy demand and to achieve the goal of universal energy access.

Benvenuto in Rinascimento 5.0 

Una piattaforma internazionale di persone e luoghi in totale armonia, creata per una nuova generazione di smartworkers.

Qui passato e futuro convivono, alimentandosi a vicenda. Tempo e spazio hanno un nuovo significato, favorendo la qualità della vita e del lavoro.Entra in Rinascimento 5.0 e scegli dove e come vuoi lavorare.

Lo Smart Working si sta diffondendo a macchia d’olio, sempre più aziende stanno decidendo di rendere questa modalità di lavoro definitiva, perché i dati hanno dimostrato uno stato psicofisico migliore dei lavoratori e una maggiore produttività.

Il lavoro da casa si sta diffondendo sempre di più. Oggi è diventato una realtà per migliaia di persone. Per essere produttivi non basta più un pc e una connessione internet. C’è bisogno di un ambiente giusto. EXPACE fornisce costantemente consigli e suggerimenti mostrando esempi concreti.

Lo spazio per lo Smart Working va individuato e separato dal resto della casa. Non è necessario disporre di tanto spazio, ma i giusti elementi e la configurazione corretta dell’arredo possono realmente cambiare la percezione da anonima postazione di lavoro a angolo privato dove canalizzare energie e attenzione per raggiungere i propri obiettivi professionali.

Un elemento molto importante nell’allestimento per lavorare è l’illuminazione. E’ preferibile posizionare la scrivania vicino ad una finestra per sfruttare la luce naturale. Posizionare una luce artificiale sulla scrivania e un illuminazione tecnica da usare durante le conference call.

La libreria è un elemento d’arredo che non può mancare  per uno Smart Working produttivo che oltre a organizzare libri e documenti può essere usato come sfondo per le conference call. In questo caso lo stile e il mood legano tutti gli elementi e gli arredi d’atmosfera come tappeti, poster, arazzi e silhouette che completano l’Experience e la rendono più immersiva.

EXPACE trasforma in design i tuoi desideri e trova la soluzione adatta ad ogni cliente.

Proud of the whole team!

EXPACE, la startup che trasforma il tuo ambiente di lavoro, creando esperienze personalizzate. Lo Smart Working non sarà mai più come prima.

Il Covid-19 ha esposto tutti noi alla necessità di lavorare da casa in modalità Smart Working. Ci si è dovuti adattare all’ambiente domestico e non sempre con soluzioni agevoli. Sono tanti i professionisti impegnati fra videochiamate ed e-mail che restano a casa e sempre più spesso gli unici spazi di cui disporre sono piccoli angoli anonimi privi di funzionalità e comodità. Da qui l’esigenza di distinguere gli spazi di lavoro da quelli dell’abitare con l’obiettivo di personalizzarli attraverso un particolare design che è simbolo e racconto di una passione. 

EXPACE offre all’utente non una postazione di lavoro qualunque  ma un vero e proprio universo esperienziale. Su EXPACE è possibile scegliere un Experience e viverla “in stile” con tutti i comfort di un vero ufficio

L’Experience PINK WALL trasporta l’utente nello psichedelico mondo della musica. Ogni elemento ha un legame formale e intellettuale con la rock band britannica più progressiva degli anni ‘70. La scrivania in acciaio, legno e pelle è l’omaggio compositivo del team di progettisti EXPACE alla tastiera, al sintetizzatore analogico di Rich; allo stesso modo la libreria e la sedia sono progettate per ricostruire il celebre “The Wall”. Ci si ritrova in una sorta di palcoscenico, all’interno del quale si riconoscono simboli, elementi che ricostruiscono un’atmosfera quasi surreale.

EXPACE punta a cucire su misura del cliente lo spazio di lavoro, personalizzandolo, creando Experiences che rievocano i desideri più intimi.

Welcome to BLK Shipping, our regular update from the shipping market. In this issue, we’ll be covering:

Wet Cargo

The increasing price of crude oil has been driving the tankers’ charter rates up, although the availability of VLCCs meant a general slowdown for this segment.

VLCC – Very Large Crude Carriers saw a decline over the past week, primarily due to the oversupply of tonnage in the market. Outlook: Stable

Suezmax – strong rally Sith over 1800% increase WoW for suezmaxes, with a very strong performance, especially in the Mediterranean. Outlook: Positive

Aframax – afra rates more gained ground, with a general strengthening across most routes. Outlook: Positive

Dirty Products – Apart from the usual busy market in the Med and Black Sea, demand remained weak in all other regions, causing rates to soften. Outlook: Stable.

Clean Products – Charter rates weakened across the board with some routes losing over 50% WoW. The MR market remained relatively oversupplied, and the lack of available cargoes did the rest to cause charter rates to slip by an average of 10% Outlook: Negative

MR – weakening demand did not support the MR rates, which, coupled with the oversupply of carrying capacity in the market, caused rates to fall across the board. Outlook: Negative

LR1 – demand for log-range tankers fell in the last few weeks and continues on a downward trend. Outlook: Negative

LR2 – LR2 tankers weakened approx. 20% WoW but, on average, remain still strong compared to this summer. Outlook: Stable

Handy – Handy earnings weakened too, returning below $3500/day and losing all the ground gained in September Outlook: Stable

Dirty Panamax – Rates softened on most routes, bringing Panamax rates down 22% compared to last month. Outlook: Negative

Dry Cargo

Strong performance for the bunkers on most routes and across all segments, with rates at their highest levels in over 10 years.

Capesize – Capes grew up to 30% in the last week, averaging nearly $73k/day and rates climbing sharply to unchartered heights. Outlook: Positive

Panamax  – Still another good week for the panamaxes, although slightly in decline on the Atlantic and on the routes Indonesia to China. Outlook: Positive

Supramax – Supramaxes lost ground in recent days, after climbing steadily over the course of 2021. The second half of September  saw relatively steady rates, settling on an average of $30k/day Outlook: Stable

Handysize – Handy market still performing very well. After a strong July-August rally, a slow-down in September now it settled on $36k+/day with short voyages routes fetching over $40k/day. Outlook: Stable

Container

Container rates finally found some market resistance, with Neo-panamaxes vessels finding difficult to push much above the $145k/day mark.

Backlogs in major ports are gravely disrupting supply chains, with queues of over 70 container vessels at Long Beach and other major ports in the US, Europe and China.

We are now seeing, as predicted, a decrease in smaller-batches shipments westbound from Asia to Europe, accompanied by a subsequent easing of the TEU rates which now came down on the high $8000s mark.

Outlook: Stable

Gas

Rates for Gas Carriers remained picked up strongly, driven by the strong demand for gas worldwide and the surge in gas prices across Europe and North America.

Pressurized and semi-pressurized vessel rates remained constant, whilst the biggest winners appeared to be LNG carriers, with rates now nearing the $85k/day for 160000 m3 vessels.

Outlook: Positive
