Other Media | BBC: Pollution from treatment works killed fish

UNITED KINGDOM
Thursday, June 26, 2025

A water company has confirmed one of its treatment works was the source of pollution that killed thousands of fish in a Cornish river.

Pennon Group, which owns South West Water, said the pollution in St Austell River "occurred as a result of a delivery by a third party to our treatment works" in the Pentewan Valley.

The Environment Agency said potentially thousands of fish including trout, eels and lamprey were killed by liquid lime in the river, which is also known as the White River

The agency said on Tuesday its officers had taken samples of dead fish from the scene.

Other Media | La Voz de Galicia: The deception of ultra-processed vegetables that imitate fish is about to end

EUROPEAN UNION
Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Twelve countries urge the Commission to ban misleading labels
 
Current Salmon, Tofu-Thuna, Tuna, Salmon Bio, Kraken, Toonish... These are some of the names of products "that show misleading similarities" with seafood, although they are actually processed from soy, wheat gluten, mushrooms, rice, or legumes, with additives such as salt, fats, flavorings, and colorings "that, in general, do not match the characteristics of authentic" fish and shellfish, according to a report commissioned by the European Parliament. The seafood industry chain has long been calling for measures against these imitations, masked by "misleading names and images that can confuse" consumers, recalls the fishing industry association Europêche.

IN BRIEF - New Maersk vessel class to enter service

DENMARK
Tuesday, June 24, 2025

Copenhagen – A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) has named the first vessel in a series of 17,480 TEU vessels equipped with dual-fuel methanol propulsion. The naming event took place on 18 June at Hyundai Heavy Industries’ (HHI) yard in Ulsan, South Korea.

The vessel, Berlin Mærsk, is the 14th dual-fuel newbuild entering the Maersk fleet, and it will be followed by additional five sister vessels in this new class of container ships.

With the launch of the Berlin Mærsk class, we continue to build an ocean toolkit adaptable to multiple fuel pathways. Fleet renewal is essential for maintaining our competitive edge in ocean shipping, and it serves as a cornerstone of our commitment to decarbonisation.

On 7 July, Berlin Mærsk will make its first port call in Shanghai, where it will enter service on Maersk’s AE3 service connecting Eastern Asia with Northern Europe.

The vessel's design closely resembles that of the previous Ane Mærsk class, from which Maersk has received a total of 12 dual-fuel vessels, all built by HHI. The only significant difference is the wider beam, which allows Berlin Mærsk to carry more containers. The increased capacity also makes it the largest dual-fuel ship to date to join the Maersk fleet
