GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stena RoRo has placed a historic order for a new generation of RoRo vessels comprising two firm vessels of the C-Flexer type with options for an additional four. The deal marks an important step in the company’s long-term strategy to offer flexible and future-proof RoRo ships to the global market. The vessels have been developed by Stena RoRo in close cooperation with the Italian design company NAOS Ship and Boat Design.

“With Stena RoRo’s extensive experience and market knowledge, combined with NAOS’ outstanding expertise in designing fuel-efficient RoRo and RoPax vessels, we have developed ships that are built for today and designed for tomorrow,” says Per Westling, CEO of Stena RoRo AB.

The first two C-Flexer RoRo vessels are scheduled for delivery in March and June 2029 respectively. The optional vessels will be delivered at three-month intervals thereafter.

Partnership with China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard

The vessels will be built at China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard. A decade long partnership between Stena RoRo and China Merchants Industry has so far resulted in 17 vessels ordered at the shipyard. The cooperation began in 2016 with an order for 4 E-Flexer RoPax vessels and has since grown to a total of 15 vessels, 12 of which have already been delivered. In addition 2 RoRo vessels of the Stena NewMax concept have been delivered.

“The cooperation between CMI Weihai and Stena RoRo has been crucial to the success of the RoPax and RoRo concepts delivered so far,” says Per Westling. “It has enabled us to supply both Stena Line, as well as external customers, with tailor-made vessels delivered on time and with very high quality.”

C-Flexer technical features

The new C-Flexer design offers a high degree of flexibility, enabling Stena RoRo to provide customers with vessels tailored to their specific operational needs. A highly developed hullform, multi-fuel engines and a scalable battery-hybrid system ensures that the vessels are future-proofed and can be progressively ‘greened’ in line with both technological advances and regulatory developments.

“In the future the C-Flexer will be able to operate entirely on batteries. Until then, the installed diesel-battery hybrid system will provide the necessary flexibility and redundancy for many years to come,” concludes Per Westling.

Stena C-Flexer, basic specifications:
Length: 200 m
Beam: 31 m
Dwt: about 15.000 ton
Draft: 7,5 m
Speed: 21 knots
Lm: 3-deck version: 3.400 lane meters
Lm: 4-deck version: 4.750 lane meters

The company leases about fifteen vessels to operators worldwide, both other Stena companies and third parties. Stena RoRo specializes above all in using its technical expertise for the design and production of new vessels and the conversion and technical operation of existing vessels in order to deliver tailor-made transport solutions to its customers. We call this ‘Stenability’. Since 2016 Stena RoRo has taken delivery of 12 RoPax ships of the E-Flexer class and 2 roro ships of the NewMax class. Since 2013, we have had responsibility for the design and completion of the world´s largest civilian hospital vessel, owned and operated by Mercy Ships, the Global Mercy. The ship was delivered in 2021.

Tapping into the thriving ETF market to drive product diversification


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 January 2026 – Taikang Asset Management (Hong Kong) Company Limited (“Taikang Asset (HK)” or the “Company”), a professional asset management institution rooted in Hong Kong with a focus on the Asian market, announced the launch of two money market exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), scheduled to list and commence trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 29 January. As the Company’s inaugural ETF products, this launch marks a significant expansion of the Company’s portfolio into the ETF space, building on the robust foundations of its existing asset management business. This move aims to provide investors with high-quality cash management tools that offer flexibility and liquidity, enabling them to optimise capital deployment amidst market volatility.

The newly launched ETFs are the Taikang Hong Kong HKD Money Market ETF (Stock Code: 3457) and the Taikang Hong Kong USD Money Market ETF (Stock Codes: 3176 (HKD counter) / 9176 (USD counter)). Both ETFs adopt an actively managed investment strategy, primarily focusing on HKD/USD-denominated and settled short-term deposits, as well as high-quality money market instruments. These instruments include investment-grade assets issued by governments, quasi-governments, international organisations, financial institutions and corporations. The objective is to achieve returns in HKD/USD that align with prevailing money market rates in Hong Kong, thereby offering investors a transparent and flexible cash management solution.

To accommodate the diverse trading preferences and different allocation needs of investors, this ETF series offers both Listed Class of Units and Unlisted Classes of Units. Investors can trade the Listed Class of Units on the secondary market during trading hours, allowing them to capitalise on short-term market opportunities and manage liquidity with agility. Alternatively, they may subscribe to or redeem Unlisted Classes of Units via distributors for optimal capital allocation. This flexible investment structure allows investors to select the investment channel that best aligns with their individual objectives and preferences.

In recent years, ETFs have become a core instrument for asset allocation, with global assets under management continuing to rise. Hong Kong has kept pace by actively promoting the development of its ETF market. Following the inclusion of ETFs in the Stock Connect, cross-border investment and market liquidity have improved significantly, positioning Hong Kong as one of the largest and most active ETF exchanges in Asia. Meanwhile, amidst heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, investors are placing greater emphasis on asset security and liquidity. Consequently, money market instruments, favoured for their relatively lower risk profile, are increasingly emerging as a popular option for capital management.

A spokesperson for Taikang Asset (HK) stated: “The launch of Taikang Asset (HK)’s inaugural money market ETFs marks a significant milestone in the Company’s business development. By proactively capitalising on favourable policies and market trends, and leveraging our extensive experience in money market funds, we are extending our institutional-grade investment capabilities to the ETF platform. This strategy not only diversifies our product offering, but also effectively meets the strong investor demand for high-liquidity management tools.”

Looking ahead, the Company will take the successful launch of the Taikang Hong Kong HKD and USD Money Market ETFs as a new starting point to actively explore the growth potential of its ETF business. Leveraging its profound market experience and professional expertise, the Company aims to provide investors with more diversified and competitive asset allocation solutions, thereby contributing to the consolidation of Hong Kong’s leading position as Asia’s ETF hub.

Thailand Uses Contraceptive Vaccine to Limit Wild Elephant Births

AFP – Thailand has given a contraceptive vaccine to wild elephants for the first time in an effort to control their ballooning population, a conservation official said on 28 January.

Wildlife authorities and a veterinary team administered the shots to three female elephants in southeastern Trat province on 26 January, said Sukhee Boonsang, a director of the Wildlife Conservation Office.

The aim was to manage the wild elephant population, he told AFP, adding that the mammal’s birth rate in five provinces of eastern Thailand rises about eight percent yearly compared to three percent in other regions.

This “will cause more conflict between humans and elephants in the long term if we let it continue”, he said.

Veterinarians and officials administered the vaccines this week using a dart gun without anaesthesia, the conservation office said in a statement.

Wild elephant numbers in Thailand rose from 334 in 2015 to almost 800 last year, with thousands more in captivity.

Human-elephant conflict has caused almost 200 human fatalities and more than 100 elephant deaths since 2012, the conservation office statement said.

Asian elephants, Thailand’s national animal, are classified as endangered globally by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

Sukhee said the three elephants had been checked for signs of infection, were well and “living their normal life”, adding that his team will follow up with blood checks every six months.

The vaccine was tested on seven captive elephants in northern Chiang Mai two years ago, he said.

Another 15 doses will be used on elephants in other herds in Thailand before this year’s rainy season starts from May, Sukhee said.

Clearance Teams Destroy Over 1,000 UXO Items in Champasak Province

From October 2025 to early 2026, the Norwegian People's Aid team in Lao PDR cleared over 1,000 unexploded ordnance (UXO) items in Paksong District, Champasak Province. (Photo credit:Norwegian People's Aid team in Lao PDR)

Clearance teams destroyed more than 1,000 unexploded ordnance (UXO) items during a large-scale operation in Champasak Province.

The demolition took place in Lak 48 village, Paksong district, where hundreds of UXO items were previously dropped and unexploded. From October 2025 to date, the operation destroyed 1,028 cluster munitions and four other UXO devices.

The Paksong clearance forms part of a broader national effort to reduce UXO risks. In early 2026, clearance teams safely removed three UXO found near residential houses in Kham district, Xieng Khouang Province.

Laos remains the world’s most heavily bombed country. 

During the Second Indochina War, over two million tons of ordnance fell on Lao territory. Today, unexploded ordnance contaminates approximately 25 percent of all villages.

Bounpheng Sisawath, Director General of the National Regulatory Authority, reported 11 UXO-related incidents in 2025 during the annual UXO Sector Working Group Meeting in late 2025. These incidents resulted in 21 casualties, including five fatalities, with children representing the most vulnerable group.

In the first 11 months of 2025, national clearance teams removed UXO from 5,268 hectares, achieving 70 percent of their annual target, and destroyed 59,039 devices. 

The UXO sector faces ongoing challenges including declining humanitarian funding, shorter project timelines, coordination difficulties between central and provincial authorities, and environmental factors such as flooding and soil erosion, which expose buried ordnance.

Authorities have called on local communities to report suspicious items and maintain cooperation with national and international UXO teams.

At the 2025 Busworld Europe in Belgium, the Yutong T14E and U15 models were awarded the “Grand Award Coach ” and the “Grand Award Bus” respectively.

Product performance and operational reliability were validated through international market applications. In the Philippines, Yutong’s C12Pro model recorded a 12% reduction in fuel consumption per 100 km compared with the previous generation. In Europe, the IC12E battery electric intercity bus completed 1,200 km of full-scenario testing across four Nordic countries, demonstrating adaptability under diverse operating conditions.

Environmental initiatives included the continued expansion of Yutong’s “Net Zero Forest” project, supporting the planting of approximately 47,000 trees across China, Chile, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, fulfilling its green commitment of “One Bus, One Tree.” The company also deepened community engagement through public advocacy and education programs, including” Let’s Go Green” campaign to promote public transportation in countries like Greece and “School Bus Safety Tour” initiatives in Kazakhstan, promoting road safety awareness and responsible mobility for children.

In 2026, Yutong will always remain committed to its mission of “Bring enjoyable travels to the public and create greater value for customers”.
