Type Approval Certification from Three Major Classification Societies Positions VINSSEN for Scalable Hydrogen Propulsion Applications

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — VINSSEN, a maritime decarbonization technology company specializing in hydrogen fuel cells and integrated system solutions, announced that it has obtained Type Approval from the Korean Register (KR) and the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its 150kW marine fuel cell module.

Following its earlier approval from the Italian classification society RINA, VINSSEN now holds Type Approval from three major global classification societies for the same module.

The module is based on proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology and is specifically designed for shipboard applications, meeting international classification requirements for design, safety, and performance. Obtaining the Type Approval Certificate (TAC) requires both a Project Design Assessment (PDA) and a Manufacturing Assessment (MA).

The PDA evaluates technical design and compliance, while the MA assesses production conditions and quality systems, including quality management, facilities, and process control. These assessments ensure compliance with classification standards and formally recognize the manufacturer’s quality management capabilities, which are essential for the safety certification of ships and offshore structures.

The 150kW fuel cell module serves as a building block for a 250kW system, which is modular and scalable toward megawatt-class hydrogen propulsion systems. The system can be flexibly applied as either an onboard power generator or a main propulsion source, and is suitable for a wide range of vessels, from small craft to large commercial ships.

The module has obtained project approval from the Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA). KOMSA’s technical rules and safety requirements are aligned with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulatory framework, confirming that the module meets safety standards for both domestic and international operations.

CEO Chil-Han Lee stated, “Type Approval from KR and ABS confirms that our technology meets the stringent safety and reliability standards required for marine environments. We will continue to advance high-power fuel cell modules and integration technologies, building a flexible hydrogen propulsion platform for various vessel types and power ranges.”

VINSSEN is a pioneering provider of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) solutions for the maritime industry. With advanced R&D capabilities and expertise in clean propulsion systems, VINSSEN develops high-performance, scalable, and regulatory-compliant fuel cell solutions supporting the global transition to sustainable and zero-emission shipping.

Dimensional Latticework Dial Inspired by the Traditional Kigumi Woodwork Technique

TOKYO, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of a new MR-G timepiece, adding to the flagship line of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new MRG-B2100D features a three-dimensional latticework dial inspired by the functional beauty of kigumi,^*1 the traditional Japanese art of woodwork joinery, adorned with hanada-iro, a stately blue color.
* Kigumi is a traditional Japanese construction method and woodworking technique used for wooden joinery without the use of nails or other metal fittings.

Driven by its Purpose — “Through the power to put wonder at hand, bring new levels of joy to lives one by one” — Casio continues to create new value the world has never seen before. As the G-SHOCK flagship line, MR-G timepieces embody this wonder and joy, seamlessly blending the Japanese spirit of master craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology in meticulously refined designs that also deliver the superior shock resistance for which G-SHOCK is known.

The shock-resistant MRG-B2100D features a dimensional latticework dial that evokes the traditional Japanese interlocking woodwork technique known as kigumi, now rendered in traditional Japanese hanada-iro blue.

This timepiece draws inspiration from the mystical scene of a national treasure five-story pagoda viewed in drifting morning mist in Yamagata Prefecture, where MR-G watches are manufactured. The blue dial subtly changes in appearance depending on the light and angle, evoking the beautiful transition from dawn to morning.

The dial features elaborate geometric patterns created by wave-like ridges and fine holes, evoking the beautiful world of kigumi. Tiny gaps in the latticework dial let light from the sun or indoor sources through to generate plenty of power to drive the watch.

The case and bezel consist of 27 separate components, each carefully polished before precision assembly. Time-honored traditional Japanese craftsmanship meets advanced technology in this timepiece, offering a statement of truly refined excellence.

Demand from investors is higher than ever as the region proves to be a smart long-term investment, offering tax incentives, connectivity and luxury living, drawing continued interest from global developers, including Naftali Group

MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Long known for its beaches and resort-esque lifestyle, Miami has emerged as one of the United States’ most dynamic real estate markets. Fueled by strong international demand, no state income tax, walkable, transit-oriented urban cores, luxury shopping destinations, and the arrival of major international corporations and tech leaders such as Citadel, Varonis, Blockchain.com, Blackstone and Amazon, the region has become a hub for buyers seeking long-term value, global connectivity and strategic wealth planning opportunities.

Miami’s evolution into a true year-round luxury market is further supported by sustained population growth and consistently strong housing demand, signaling a clear shift away from its former identity as a seasonal “snowbird” destination. According to World Population Review, the city’s population has increased by 10% over the past five years to approximately 487,000 residents, while data from Miami Realtors shows rental occupancy rates reaching 94.9% as of late 2025, underscoring Miami’s status as a live-work-play location that boasts long-term appeal for residents, renters and investors alike.

At the center of this evolution is one of the region’s up-and-coming districts: Miami Worldcenter in downtown Miami. Through large-scale, master-planned development, this previously overlooked neighborhood has been transformed into a vibrant, walkable community that seamlessly integrates residential living with culture, dining, entertainment and convenient transportation access. As one of the largest metropolitan developments in the nation, Miami Worldcenter spans over 27 acres and has reshaped the downtown area into a global destination.

Anchored by residential towers, international retail brands such as Lucid Studio, Lululemon and Free People, and upscale dining ventures like Maple & Ash and Serafina, Miami Worldcenter offers unmatched connectivity in the heart of the “Magic City.” The neighborhood is just minutes away from Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the Brightline high-speed rail, while also providing convenient access to world-class cultural institutions such as the Pérez Art Museum, the Frost Science Museum, the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts, the Kaseya Center, and, of course, Miami’s renowned beaches.

Beyond Miami’s vibrant everyday life, the city has evolved into a premier destination for large-scale international events, ranging from Art Basel and major boat shows to F1 and the World Cup. These events attract millions of visitors from around the world, reinforcing Miami’s reputation as a dynamic cultural melting pot and a city where art, sport and connection converge.

The rise of walkable neighborhoods like Miami Worldcenter has changed how international buyers view Miami, showing that the area is modern, connected and attractive for long-term investment. According to the Miami Association of Realtors, international purchasers accounted for 52% of total sales across 66 new development condominium projects in South Florida’s tri-county region over a recent 22-month period, highlighting the region’s growing global appeal.

Developers and brokerages are witnessing this shift firsthand and are adapting to meet the needs of buyers. Naftali Group, the New York-based luxury developer behind JEM Private Residences in Miami Worldcenter, is one of the developers who has observed rising interest from international buyers firsthand, including a recent $8M purchase of a JEM Sky Villa with interiors by FENDI Casa by a Korean client. A visionary collaboration between Naftali Group and FENDI Casa, the exclusive JEM Sky Villas are a collection of meticulously crafted residences designed to reflect the signature elegance of FENDI Casa’s headquarters in Rome. Each featuring four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, a library and a wraparound terrace with panoramic views of downtown Miami, Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay, the JEM Sky Villas offer a truly unmatched lifestyle in the heart of Miami.

“We chose to invest and develop in Miami Worldcenter because it offers an effortless ‘doorstep’ convenience that is the hallmark of New York City living, but has historically been missing in South Florida’s car-centric culture,” said Danielle Naftali, Executive Vice President of Design, Marketing & Sales at Naftali Group. “We’re curating a pedestrian experience for our residents in the heart of each city. It’s a perfect reflection of our philosophy: delivering a best-in-class product that meets the sophisticated needs of today’s global buyer. Miami offers everything from beaches, sports and entertainment, incredible restaurants – it is truly a city that embodies lifestyle and culture.”

As Miami continues to mature, neighborhoods like Miami Worldcenter are establishing the foundation for the region’s next phase of growth. Setting the example for future development, these districts are increasingly viewed not as emerging opportunities but as strategic entry points into one of the United States’ most rapidly evolving real estate markets.
