style=\"font-weight:400;\">Voestalpine Egypt for Railway Switch Technology will produce 300 switches annually under the agreements, Egyptian Transport Minister Kamel El Wazir said. The partnership will improve the efficiency of the existing production line at the Abbasiya workshop by equipping it with advanced machinery, El Wazir explained. A new modern production line will also be established, complete with state-of-the-art equipment to produce switches for Egypt\u2019s high-speed electric train network, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Boosting local production: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The establishment of a joint company aligns with the government's objective of attaining self-sufficiency in the production of switches, El Wazir said. Demand for switches has surged due to the various national projects the ministry is implementing, including the initiative to modernize 10k km of railways and several high-speed electric train network and metro development projects, El Wazir noted. There are also plans to export the excess production of switches to African and Middle Eastern nations, he added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Egypt + Austrian heads of state set to meet for more transport talks: <\/span><span>President Abdel Fattah El Sisi accepted Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a8fa1aef-e38c-4b17-97e9-e5bcbeaac39c\" style=\"\">invitation to visit Austria<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">, after the two met at Al Ittihadiya Palace last week.

The LNG carrier, Ish, is now being commissioned as a Floating Storage Unit (FSU) at the new terminal which is the first of its kind in the Philippines. The vessel has a supply of 137.5k cubic meters and was repurposed as an FSU over a five-month period by AG&P subsidiary GasEntec, the statement added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The FSU will be supplied, maintained, and operated by ADNOC L&S.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> The LNG carrier was chartered out to AG&P under an 11-year agreement, with an option for a four-year extension, the statement said. The new arrangement will supplement ADNOC L&S\u2019 FSU revenues and extend the operational life of the repurposed vessel. Moreover, it will also bolster the resilience of PHLNG's LNG supply. The project also builds upon a long-term charter agreement between ADNOC L&S and AG&P which saw a similar arrangement in India. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700;\">ALSO WORTH KNOWING-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:700\">DHL Global Forwarding will expand its operations to <\/span><span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;font-weight:700;text-decoration-skip-ink:none\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.turkishcargo.com.tr\/en\" style=\"\">Turkish Cargo<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">smart cargo facility at Istanbul Airport<\/span><span>, according to an <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/dhl-global-forwarding_dhlglobalforwarding-turkishcargo-turkishairlines-activity-7057314974703964160-hWc-?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop\" style=\"\">official statement<\/a><\/span><span>. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/adnoc-lng-energy\/\">ADNOC LNG Energy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/also-on-our-radar\/\">ALSO ON OUR RADAR<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"70421\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"70421\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">11<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Around the World<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2023\/05\/01\/us-iran-seize-oil-tankers-as-tensions-rise-plus-california-plans-phase-out-of-diesel-powered-trucks\/\">\r\n                            US, Iran seize oil tankers as tensions rise.
