LD Armateurs and Norsepower are proud to announce the completed installation of six Norsepower Rotor Sails on board Spirit of Toulouse, the lead vessel in a new fleet of three low-emission RoRo ships built for LD Armateurs (LDA) to support transport operations for Airbus.

The installation, carried out by the project team of the shipyard, Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. Ltd., at a coastal outfitting site in Shanghai, makes Spirit of Toulouse not only the largest RoRo vessel in the world to be equipped with wind-propulsion but also the vessel with the largest number of mechanical sails in the world.

The six rotor sails, each measuring 35m x 5m, are paired with two dual-fuel main engines complemented by two dual-fuel generator sets, capable of running on e-methanol, bio-methanol or marine diesel oil.

Norsepower’s wind propulsion is designed to work in synergy with the vessel’s methanol propulsion system, reducing fuel consumption and improving efficiency across the voyage rather than acting as a stand-alone add-on.

Spirit of Toulouse is the first of three sister ships — alongside Spirit of Mobile and Spirit of Mirabel —under charter to Airbus to move large aircraft sub-assemblies between the manufacturer’s production sites in Europe and North America.

Norsepower and LDA first announced their collaboration in early 2024. Construction began at the shipyard by October of that year, and the lead vessel was launched in February 2026. Rotor sail installation has now been completed ahead of sea trials.

Samira Draoua, CEO of LD Armateurs, said: “ Spirit of Toulouse is much more than a new vessel. It is a tangible demonstration of how the maritime industry can accelerate its transition by combining innovation, operational expertise, and strong industrial partnerships. Bringing together six rotor sails and dual-fuel methanol propulsion on a ship of this scale is a world first that illustrates LD Armateurs’ commitment to pioneering tangible solutions for lower-carbon shipping.”

Heikki Pöntynen, CEO of Norsepower, said: “Completing installation of six Norsepower Rotor Sails on Spirit of Toulouse is a significant milestone for wind propulsion in the RoRo segment. Working in synergy with the vessel’s dual-fuel methanol engines, the rotor sails give LD Armateurs a vessel designed to cut fuel consumption and emissions from her first voyage. We’re proud of how smoothly this project has moved from agreement to installation, and we look forward to seeing the technology proven out on the transatlantic route.”

Fitting six rotor sails to a single hull is a demanding undertaking, and the shipyard project team built a dedicated construction plan for the job, refined through expert review and clearly defined roles before work began on site.

Commissioning activities commenced immediately following the installation of the first rotor sail. With all sails installed, the rotor sails will undergo comprehensive testing during the vessel’s upcoming sea trials to confirm their performance and seamless integration with onboard systems. Further optimization and fine-tuning will continue during the maiden voyage from China to France, ensuring the technology delivers its full operational potential.

Jean-Baptiste Boutillier, Chief Operating Officer, LD Armateurs, added: “The collaboration with Norsepower on this project has been very smooth, setting a strong benchmark for the next two vessels. The installation site was a demanding one, on the coast and with real limitations on working conditions, but through careful planning and efficient execution we safely and accurately completed installation of the impressive 35m-high, 5m-diameter Norsepower Rotor Sails. We look forward to continuing this cooperation on the two vessels that will be equipped in the future.”

A routine inspection can sometimes uncover a problem at exactly the wrong moment.

This was the case for a major Italian energy sector operator when a Tadano aerial work platform (Oil & Steel series) was found to no longer meet the requirements for 1000 V insulation during a scheduled check.

The timing was particularly challenging: the machine was due to travel into the mountains that same day to help restore a power line damaged by a storm. With the platform unable to operate, the planned intervention was at risk of being delayed.

Tadano responded with its Mobile Workshop, a fully equipped service vehicle staffed by specialised technicians. The team travelled directly to the customer’s location and carried out the necessary work on site. Within a few hours, the platform was returned to safe operating condition and able to proceed with the planned intervention.

“The rental market has expanded significantly, which means growing demand for machines ready to work in increasingly diverse settings,” explains Alessandro Di Simone, Service & Electronic Systems Manager – Oil & Steel Series. “This makes fast and reliable support increasingly important.”

Tadano has also expanded its spare parts infrastructure in recent years. Between July and December 2024, the company introduced a new vertical warehouse at its Italian operation, representing an investment of around €100,000.

The warehouse has 43 drawer units and stores more than 2,500 spare-part references. A Warehouse Management System (WMS) tracks orders from receipt to shipment, helping to improve inventory management and reduce picking errors. Almost 90% of spare-parts orders are shipped within 24 hours of receipt.

“The customer doesn’t see the warehouse, they only see whether the part arrives on time,” says Libero Gambi, Parts Manager. “That’s why, for us, investing in internal organisation, order tracking and error reduction isn’t a technical detail, it’s a direct part of the service we provide.”

The Mobile Workshop has been operating for around two years and carries out approximately 25 to 30 field interventions each year across Italy. It can also support Tadano’s European distributors when required.

The service covers hydraulic repairs, component replacement, cable and connector repairs and first-level mechanical work. More complex repairs are handled through Tadano’s authorised workshop network.

“Our technicians bring years of direct experience on the range to the field, with all the equipment needed to carry out the work on site,” says Di Simone. “It’s Tadano’s service that comes to the customer, not the other way around.”

Tadano has complemented its field service with a remote connectivity system for fleet operators such as rental companies. The system allows customers to monitor machine status and location and plan maintenance. Software and selected parameters on the main control unit can also be updated over the air, reducing the need for some service visits.

Tadano is an IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) authorised training centre and provides training for both internal and external personnel, issuing around 100 licences each year. Refresher courses are also held regularly for authorised workshops.

Together, these services are designed to minimise downtime and keep machines operational. In situations such as the storm-damaged power line, where work cannot simply be postponed, the ability to respond quickly can make a direct difference.

Sereact, Zalando and CEVA Logistics today announced the launch of AI-powered automated returns processing across key fulfillment facilities in Germany (Greven) and Poland (Świebodzin).

Powered by Cortex, Sereact’s physical AI platform, the dual-arm robotic systems have entered live operations to autonomously process returned fashion items, marking the initial phase of a broader initiative to scale returns automation across Europe.

Returns management remains one of the most complex operations in fashion eCommerce logistics. Returned items often arrive poorly packed and disheveled. The uniqueness of the state of the returned items defies conventional robotic pre-programming. Sereact’s Cortex platform groups previously unseen objects—identifying, grasping and sorting items dynamically without requiring article-specific training or pre-determined article sets.

Delivered as a Robotics-as-a-Service model, the deployment represents the first operational milestone of the strategic collaboration.

In July, Zalando joined Sereact’s Series B round as a strategic investor, and the partners are actively collaborating to scale intelligent automation across their shared European logistics footprint.

The technology is designed to work alongside humans. By taking on highly repetitive handling, the robotic system reduces physical strain on employees, allowing them to upskill into higher-value roles where human expertise and judgement are required.

Masood Choudhry, SVP Logistics, Zalando, said: “At the heart of our collaboration with Sereact and CEVA is a fundamental belief: true innovation happens when technology and human potential advance together. By solving the most complex challenges in modern fulfilment today, we are actively shaping the future of e-commerce logistics for fashion and lifestyle.”

Chris Walton, SVP Contract Logistics, CEVA Logistics, said: “One of the toughest challenges is returns handling, due to its extreme operational nature and scale, unpredictable volumes, manual quality checks, seasonality, value decay, and a disproportionately high cost per unit. Our Robotics-as-a-Service model classifies items faster, reduces manual touchpoints, and delivers consistent, predictable quality on a large scale. For our customers, this transforms returns from a cost driver into a controlled, high‑performance service.”

Dr. Ralf Gulde, CEO and Co-Founder, Sereact, said: “Returns are the hardest manipulation problem in fashion logistics. If a system only works on articles it has seen before, it does not work in a returns operation at all. Running this in production with CEVA at Zalando volumes is the strongest proof point we have.”

On September 30, 2026 the LNG Bunkering Vessel “Kaguya”*1 achieved a cumulative total of 200th safe ship-to-ship*2 LNG bunkering operations*3 in Mikawa Bay in Japan.

Kaguya is owned and operated by joint venture companies*4 in which Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) has invested.

“K” LINE has operated an LNG bunkering business for LNG-fueled vessels in the Chubu region through joint venture companies since October 2020.

Through this business, the joint venture companies have established a stable LNG fuel supply chain system in the Chubu region for LNG-fueled vessels, including “K” LINE’s LNG-fueled car carrier CENTURY HIGHWAY GREEN.*5 ,while continuing to expand its LNG bunkering services.

“K” LINE will continue to contribute to the decarbonization of the shipping industry and the reduction of environmental load by providing safe and reliable LNG bunkering services.

*1 This is the first LNG bunkering vessel operating in Japan, began operating in October 2020. The vessel’s name was inspired by the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which is considered the oldest story in Japan. It also reflects the companies’ hopes that the LNG bunkering market will grow tall and endure like bamboo.

*2 Ship-to-Ship Bunkering is a method of bunkering in which an LNG bunkering vessel comes alongside an LNG-fueled vessel to supply LNG. This can be done at various locations, such as along quays or piers or when ships are at anchor.

*3 It is expected that LNG fuel’s sulfur oxide (SOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions will be approximately 100% less than for heavy oil fuels, and it is expected that nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will be reduced up to 80% and approximately 30%, respectively. LNG shows promise as a marine fuel replacing heavy oil to respond to increasingly stringent international regulations on marine emissions.

*4 Central LNG Shipping Japan Corporation and Central LNG Marine Fuel Japan Corporation are joint venture companies jointly established by “K” LINE, JERA Global Energy Solutions Pte Ltd., Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha and Toyota Tsusho Corporation.

*5 CENTURY HIGHWAY GREEN is an LNG-fueled car carrier delivered on March 12, 2021. It continues to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by using LNG fuel.
