Hyundai Glovis Partners with Lab021 to Deploy ‘Vessellink'
TOKYO, July 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyundai Glovis, a global leader in smart logistics, has entered a strategic partnership with maritime IT solutions provider Lab021 to implement Vessellink, an advanced digital reporting system designed for ship operations.
The collaboration aims to integrate Vessellink for Ship, Lab021's flagship platform, into Hyundai Glovis's maritime operations. This system automates data collection, analysis, and reporting of critical vessel metrics such as real-time voyage monitoring, carbon emissions, and operational efficiency. By digitizing these processes, Hyundai Glovis seeks to enhance operational intelligence and agility while reducing reliance on manual reporting.
This initiative is timely as the maritime industry faces increasing regulatory demands on decarbonization. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is advancing measures targeting greenhouse gas reduction, including stricter carbon intensity standards and the introduction of a global carbon pricing mechanism expected around 2027.
In parallel, the European Union's FuelEU Maritime regulation, effective in 2025, requires vessels calling at EU ports to progressively increase the use of low-carbon fuels. Additionally, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) extended its scope to include shipping in 2024 and plans full emissions coverage by 2026.
By adopting Vessellink, Hyundai Glovis positions itself ahead of these regulatory requirements, strengthening its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. The platform's detailed emissions tracking and real-time reporting improve transparency and build trust with global customers and regulators.
A Hyundai Glovis spokesperson commented, "We are upgrading our data management to align with the maritime sector's goals for decarbonization and digital innovation. Vessellink enables compliance and streamlines our operations. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Lab021 to develop smarter, greener shipping solutions."
Lab021 CEO Sangbong Lee added, "Vessellink represents the future of maritime digitalization, merging precise vessel data with intelligent automation. Our partnership with Hyundai Glovis marks a key step in expanding global adoption of data-driven carbon management tools in shipping."
This collaboration highlights Hyundai Glovis's commitment to future-proofing its maritime activities and reflects the broader industry trend where digital transformation is essential for sustainable shipping.

Bangladesh orders 25 Boeing planes as part of push to ease US tariffs
DHAKA (Reuters) -Bangladesh has ordered 25 aircraft from Boeing (BA) and ramped up imports of key American goods in an effort to defuse trade tensions and bring down the steep tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, a senior official said on Sunday. The moves are part of a broader strategy to narrow a $6 billion U.S. trade deficit with Bangladesh and avoid a looming 35% tariff hike that has rattled the country's export sector, especially the garments industry which risks losing competitiveness in one of its largest markets. For rolling updates on tariffs, check out our liveblog > "We need new aircraft urgently, possibly within the next couple of years," Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman told reporters. "Initially, it was 14 planes — now it's 25," he said, referring to an earlier plan to purchase aircraft from the U.S.-based manufacturer. Alongside the aircraft deal, Bangladesh is boosting imports of wheat, soybean oil and cotton from the United States. A new agreement signed earlier this month will see the country import 700,000 tonnes of U.S. wheat annually over the next five years. Officials hope that these steps will help improve trade relations with Washington and soften the impact of the Trump administration's tariff measures.

China proposes global cooperation body on AI
SHANGHAI, July 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from The Chinese government has proposed the establishment of a world AI cooperation organization as part of its efforts to bolster open, inclusive and equitable artificial intelligence development and governance globally. Premier Li Qiang announced the initiative when addressing the opening ceremony of the 2025 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai. Li emphasized the need for collaborative approaches to global AI governance to ensure that intelligent technologies are developed for the good of all. More than 1,000 high-level representatives from upwards of 40 countries and international organizations attended the opening ceremony of the three-day event, themed "Global Solidarity in the AI Era". Li said that the risks and challenges brought by AI development, such as machine hallucinations, deep fakes and AI proliferation, have aroused widespread attention. There is an urgent need to further consolidate a societal consensus on how to achieve a balance between development and security in the AI sector, he said. Li said greater emphasis should be placed on collective governance to ensure that AI ultimately benefits humanity. Given that global AI governance appears fragmented, it is essential to enhance coordination and alignment among countries around the world to establish a framework and rules for global AI governance with a broad consensus, he added. Noting that China places great importance on global AI governance and actively participates in promoting multilateral and bilateral cooperation in this regard, the premier said the nation is willing to offer more Chinese solutions to the international community and contribute more Chinese wisdom to global AI governance. In 2023, China proposed the Global AI Governance Initiative to promote an open, inclusive and fair approach to the development and governance of AI technologies. Last year, China proposed the AI Capacity-Building Action Plan for Good and for All to bridge the AI and digital divides, and to ensure the Global South benefits equitably from AI development. China actively promotes open source development, and is willing to collaborate with countries around the world to promote progress in software and hardware technologies, intensify open source initiatives, and collectively propel AI development to higher levels, Li said. Also on July 26, the conference adopted the Global AI Governance Action Plan, which calls on all parties to work in solidarity to advance AI development and governance.

Russia starts first Moscow-Pyongyang passenger flights in decades
(Reuters) -Russia will launch direct passenger flights from Moscow to North Korea's capital Pyongyang on Sunday, Russian authorities said, as the two former communist bloc allies move to improve ties following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The start of regular flights between the capitals for the first time since the mid-1990s, according to Russian aviation blogs, follows the resumption of Moscow-Pyongyang passenger rail service, a 10-day journey, in June. The first flight will leave Sheremetyevo airport at 7 p.m. (1600 GMT), according to the airport's timetable. The eight-hour flight will be operated by a Boeing 777-200ER with a capacity of 440 passengers, Russia's RIA state news agency said on Sunday. It said tickets started at 44,700 roubles ($563), and the first flight quickly sold out. Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia has granted Nordwind Airlines permission to operate flights between Moscow and Pyongyang twice a week. The transport ministry said in a statement that for now flights would operate once a month, "to help build stable demand". The only direct air route between Russia and North Korea has been flights by North Korean carrier Air Koryo to Vladivostok in Russia's Far East three times a week. Ukraine and its Western allies have accused North Korea of supplying Russia with artillery and ballistic missiles. Moscow and Pyongyang deny the allegations. Pyongyang has deployed more than 10,000 troops and arms to Russia to back Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said this month his country was ready to "unconditionally support" Moscow's efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
