Mercato: Ramiz Zerrouki returns to Twente on loan!
According to the terms of the deal, the 27-year-old midfielder joins Twente on loan until the end of the current season. This comeback follows a challenging spell for Zerrouki at Feyenoord, where his playing time was significantly reduced, affecting both his performance level and consistency on the pitch. By returning to his former club, Zerrouki hopes to reignite his career, regain his rhythm, and convince national team coach Vladimir Petkovic to bring him back into the Fennecs' plans ahead of the upcoming international fixtures. As a reminder, Ramiz Zerrouki shone in Twente colors before joining Feyenoord in the summer of 2023. He arrived then on a contract running until 2027, but never managed to secure a regular spot in the Rotterdam squad.

TotalEnergies and CMA CGM launch JV for LNG bunkering in Rotterdam
TotalEnergies and CMA CGM have entered an agreement to form a logistics joint venture focused on liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. This 50:50 JV aims to develop and operate a new 20,000m3 LNG bunker vessel in Rotterdam by the end of 2028. The joint venture will offer a range of logistics services to vessels operating in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region, including CMA CGM's fleet and other shipping operators These services will encompass reload access at Gate terminal facilities and LNG bunker delivery. The JV will leverage TotalEnergies' existing infrastructure in the ARA region, including the 18,600m3 LNG bunker vessel Gas Agility, to offer comprehensive logistics services. The partnership is set to create synergies by integrating the JV's future LNG bunker vessel with the Gas Agility, thereby increasing delivery flexibility and operational efficiency. CMA CGM Group chairman and CEO Rodolphe Saadé said: 'With this joint venture, CMA CGM and TotalEnergies are taking a new step to support the energy transition in shipping. 'For the first time, a shipping company and an energy provider will jointly operate an LNG bunkering vessel, based in the port of Rotterdam. It is a concrete way to scale up alternative fuels and accelerate the decarbonisation of global trade.' TotalEnergies will also supply CMA CGM with up to 360,000 tonnes (t) of LNG annually from 2028 until 2040, supporting CMA CGM's ambition to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050 and catering to its growing fleet of dual-fuel LNG-powered vessels, which are expected to reach 123 by 2029. TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said: 'We are proud to further contribute, alongside a partner like CMA CGM, to the development of an LNG bunkering supply chain in one of Europe's leading port hubs. LNG is today the most mature and immediately available solution to reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transport. 'This strategic partnership not only strengthens our position as a major player in LNG bunkering but also illustrates the shared commitment of two leading French companies to actively support the energy transition.' The establishment of the LNG bunkering joint venture is pending regulatory approvals. Additionally, CMA CGM had partnered with ABB in March to enhance maritime safety through a new parametric roll algorithm. This development, integrated with ABB Ability OCTOPUS Marine Advisory system, combines CMA CGM's theoretical framework with advanced forecasting and monitoring of vessel motion behaviour.

Art in All Directions: The Fenix Museum Is Changing How We Talk About Migration
On the banks of Europe's largest port—and at the former site of the continent's first Chinatown—a gleaming double helix coils above a former warehouse in Rotterdam's Katendrecht district. This sculptural staircase, designed by Chinese starchitect Ma Yansong of MAD Architects and dubbed 'the Tornado,' anchors the newly opened Fenix Museum of Migration. It's a showstopper, but more than that, the structure poses a question: What does it mean to leave, to arrive, and to begin again? It's a sticky June afternoon when I reach the Fenix. Inside the sunlit lobby, the Tornado glows, its polished steel and warm wood spiraling skyward. You can ride an elevator to the building's roof, where there is a cantilevered viewing platform, but most visitors opt for the climb. I follow a young family with a toddler who squeals as he bangs on the paneling and crawls up the ramp. It feels like boarding a futuristic cruise ship.

Finland's Neste tops earnings forecast on soaring SAF sales
(Reuters) -Finnish biofuel maker and oil refiner Neste reported stronger than expected core earnings for the second quarter on Thursday, citing soaring sales of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) aided by increased production capacity. Neste's comparable quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose 42% from a year earlier to 341 million euros ($401 million). Analysts in a company-provided consensus had expected 302.5 million euros on average. "Our sustainable aviation fuel sales increased close to 80% quarter on quarter, benefiting from additional SAF production capacity at our renewables refinery in Rotterdam," CEO Heikki Malinen said in a statement. The rise in SAF sales drove the sales volume in Neste's renewable products unit to a new quarterly record of 1,096 thousand tonnes. The unit's sales volume margin fell 5% to $361 per tonne, but exceeded analysts' forecast of $329 per tonne. "We saw positive developments in the biofuel regulation both in the US and EU, largely supporting long-term renewables demand," Malinen said. Hovever, he warned that the market environment was volatile and headwinds from global trade tensions were expected to continue. Neste has been battling an excess supply in the renewable fuels market, pressuring its sales volumes and leading to a reduction of around 510 jobs globally earlier in 2025. Alhough the group said it still expected its annual sales volumes to improve from 2024, it also forecast persisting oversupply in the renewable fuels market for the year. Oversupply, weak demand and high input costs had made Neste cut its forecast for the renewables sales margin three times in 2024.
