The dual-fuel tankers are set to replace existing ships in Maersk\u2019s fleet rather than build capacity, but they won\u2019t be delivered by Hyundai Heavy Industries until 2024. With a 20-25 year life cycle, each of the new ships is key to the company\u2019s net-zero emissions goal by 2050.

When 23-year-old Daniel is found dead on a houseboat, three women are narrowed down as suspects by the police. Laura is a girl he briefly dated who suffers from mental and physical disabilities, Carla is his seemingly grief-stricken aunt, and Miriam is the nosy neighbor who is hiding something from the police. The novel explores the lives and experiences of the three women and how they could be involved in the murder as well as Daniel\u2019s history and how it led him to his demise. A fitting title, the novel is a slow burn that leads to an ending that is nothing short of shocking.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f <strong>TOMORROW\u2019S WEATHER- <\/strong>Folks in Cairo can expect a high of 39\u00b0C during the day and 25\u00b0C at night, while Sahel is on course to see a daytime high of 32\u00b0C and 23\u00b0C at night, our favorite weather app tells us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good afternoon, nice people.
