Stena RoRo takes delivery of the 13th E-Flexer from the China Merchants Industry shipyard in Weihai, China

Stena RoRo has taken delivery of the 13th ship in the 15 ship series of E-Flexer RoPax ferries from the China Merchants Industry shipyard in Weihai, China. The ship, named Capu Rossu, was handed over to CORSICA LINEA following the delivery to Stena RoRo. The ship will start its commercial operation mid June and will trade between Marseille and Corsica.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The E-Flexer-series is based on a design which is larger than the typical standard RoPax ferry and designed for flexibility. Each ship will be tailormade for the operators’ technical and commercial needs. A highly optimized hull form, multifuel engines and the Battery Power Class notation as well as several other features make this ship one of the most economically friendly ever designed and built.

“Due to today’s fast development of the hull form design and propulsion optimization in combination with the Battery Power systems we now start to install on our ships, it is clear that ordering of new ships will be the most important and strongest tool to reduce the CO2 emissions of the ferry industry”, says Per Westling, CEO Stena RoRo.

Partnership with China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard
The ship has been built by the China Merchants Industry Weihai shipyard in China. Stena RoRo has been cooperating with this shipyard since 2016 which has resulted in 19 orders so far. 15 of these have been E-Flexers, 2 NewMax RoRo ships and 2 C-Flexer RoRo ships.

“The cooperation between the CMI Weihai shipyard and Stena RoRo has been instrumental for the successful deliveries of ships and it has made it possible for us to deliver tailormade ships both to our own ferry operator Stena Line but also to several external ferry companies with the highest quality and in time,” concludes Per Westling.

The 20th Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Conference was held in Guiyang on March 30. The opening ceremony at Drum Tower Square in Colorful Guizhou city highlighted the province’s progress in smart tourism and artificial intelligence. It also unveiled new characters from the “Huangxiaoxi” mascot family and promoted the “stub economy”, a ticket-stub reward initiative, along with the “Cool Guiyang Top 10 New Scenic Spots”.

Among attendees were 15 international media professionals and content creators participating in the 2026 China Storyteller Partnerships. From March 27 to 31, they gained firsthand experience of Fanjing Mountain, the famous cave basketball courts, and the historic Zhongnanmen Historical and Cultural Tourist Area, amongst others. Through the lens of these international guests, the narrative of Guizhou tourism is entering a more authentic, open and collaborative era.

To develop Guizhou into a leading national destination for tourism and long-term stays, 10 provincial departments, including the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, jointly issued a series of measures to support tourism-related residential development. The steps establish a policy framework covering land supply, revitalization of existing assets, financial and fiscal support, and standardized operations.

Technical guidelines are also being prepared to homogenized construction requirements across six areas, including environmental livability and green, low-carbon development. Guizhou’s tourism-related residential sector is shifting toward an integrated model combining development, services and operations. Efforts focus on improving product quality, expanding the customer base and cultivating professional operators.

Authorities are also strengthening four support systems to advance high-quality industry development: policy standards, resource guarantees, promotion, and supporting services.

Accelerated by conservation and infrastructure

Guizhou is known for its cool summer climate, with an average temperature of about 23 degrees Celsius and excellent air quality on more than 99 percent of days. With an average altitude of around 1,100 meters, the province offers favorable conditions for health and wellness tourism, alongside a rich cultural heritage shaped by diverse ethnic groups and revolutionary history.

The hospitality sector has expanded rapidly, with 304 star-rated hotels and about 13,000 guesthouses. Transportation infrastructure has also improved, with 1,900 kilometers of high-speed rail and more than 9,390 kilometers of expressways, ensuring expressway access to every county and airports in all prefecture-level cities.

Since emerging in the 1990s, Guizhou’s tourism-related residential sector has grown steadily. By 2025, out-of-province buyers are expected to purchase about 30,000 homes, accounting for 17.9 percent of total sales.

Cities such as Guiyang and Liupanshui have repeatedly been included on national summer resort lists, boosting their visibility and supporting the province’s development as a tourism, residential and wellness destination.

Steered by data and strategy

The 2026 Guizhou Tourism and Residence Research Report notes that China’s tourism-residence sector is entering a period of rapid growth. With its natural resources and industrial foundation, Guizhou is well-positioned to benefit from this trend.

Government initiatives, growing tourism demand and improvements in supply have created a positive cycle of development, strengthening the province’s position in the national tourism-residence market.

Meanwhile, innovation in tourism-residence models and deeper integration of culture and tourism are helping drive the development of intellectual property-based tourism products and new market opportunities.

As the market leader in NG911, AT&T has upgraded 1,750 emergency call centers nationwide, enhancing safety for more than 88 million people

SAN ANTONIO, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that AT&T has been named the 2026 market leader in the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) for the eighth consecutive year. AT&T’s Emergency Services IP Network (AT&T ESInet™) leads the market in advancing industry transformation that enhances public safety by supporting a more diverse set of IP-based communications during emergencies. This recognition highlights AT&T’s consistent leadership in delivering reliable, standards-based NG911 solutions while strengthening public safety communications across the United States.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. AT&T excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with the evolving needs of emergency communications centers (ECCs) while executing with consistency, scalability, and operational reliability.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on connectivity, innovation, and customer care, AT&T has demonstrated an ability to adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving public safety landscape. The company’s strategic agility and sustained investment in NG911 infrastructure have enabled it to scale effectively across the United States. With ESInet™ deployments now spanning 18 states and covering approximately 88 million people, AT&T continues to set the benchmark for nationwide NG911 adoption. “AT&T’s ESInet™ solutions architecture, coupled with FirstNet™ integration and the ability to demonstrate and showcase proven NG911 deployments, have emerged as key differentiators in a highly competitive environment,” states Brent Iadarola, Practice Area Leader, ICT at Frost & Sullivan.

Innovation is central to AT&T’s approach. Its managed, as-a-service NG911 model reduces complexity for public safety agencies by providing secure, interoperable, and standards-compliant solutions. Moreover, the AT&T ESInet™ is backed by standard service level agreements (SLAs) for availability, call delivery, call quality, and provisioning. Its proven operational track record—including over 1,700 ECCs handling live production—demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver scalable and reliable NG911solutions.

“Our Next Generation 9-1-1 technology helps modernize emergency response for communities and first responders, enabling faster response times, improved location accuracy, and greater reliability,” said Matt Walsh, AVP – FirstNet and NextGen 9-1-1 Products, AT&T. “Receiving this recognition is a testament to the dedication of our teams and the strong collaboration we have with public safety agencies nationwide.”

AT&T’s unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its leadership position. By offering comprehensive support, streamlined deployment models, and a strong focus on reliability, the company enables public safety agencies to transition to NG911 with confidence. Its extensive regulatory experience, vendor stability, and emphasis on interoperability and compliance ensure that customers receive dependable, future-ready solutions. This customer-centric approach has made AT&T ESInet the leading NG911 provider in the United States, with approximately 34% market share and 1,750 PSAPs in live production.

Frost & Sullivan commends AT&T for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company’s innovation roadmap, integration of advanced technologies, and commitment to public safety are shaping the future of NG911 and delivering measurable impact at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Market Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. It recognizes forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognition

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Recognitions honor companies across regional and global markets that exhibit exceptional achievement and consistent excellence in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer experience, and strategic product development.

PixVerse Evolves From Creation Tool to Production Platform With New Studio and Developer Releases

By
Advertorial Desk
-

Team Plan, Mini Apps, and CLI Skills bring collaboration, faster workflows, and agent-ready video generation to the platform.

SINGAPORE, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PixVerse today announced a set of releases designed to support creative teams working at studio scale. Building on the launch of V6 yesterday, these additions move PixVerse beyond individual creation toward a more complete production system that supports collaborative teams, compresses multi-step workflows into single interactions, and extends into automated content pipelines.

Team Plan: Shared Workspace for Professional Creative Teams

Professional video production is rarely a solo endeavour. Studios, agencies, and enterprise creative teams need shared spaces, managed permissions, and coordinated resources to run production at scale. Team Plan gives these teams a unified workspace where members can be added and removed with configurable permissions, credits are shared with adjustable caps, and asset libraries remain intact when people leave. Team Plan is available at USD 79 per seat per month.

Mini Apps: Scenario-Specific Tools for Fast Video Production

For creators who need finished video output fast without a full production workflow, PixVerse is introducing Mini Apps, a suite of lightweight, scenario-specific tools designed to compress common video production workflows into a single interaction.

The first release is Ad Master, which addresses one of the most persistent bottlenecks in commercial content production: creating video at volume is costly and time-intensive. Users provide a single product image and a short description — a list of selling points, a desired aesthetic, or a specific visual direction. PixVerse’s model infers relevant scenes, matches appropriate talent, and generates a complete advertising video with voiceover and subtitles. No structured prompting is required. Ad Master is priced at approximately USD 3 per video, or USD 2 for PixVerse subscribers, bringing down the cost of video production that traditionally runs several hundred to several thousand dollars.

Additional Mini Apps are in development, covering visual storytelling, short-form content creation, audio, and broader commercial use cases.

PixVerse CLI and Skills Library: Modular Capabilities for Developer and Agent Workflows

Video generation has traditionally been a disconnected process in automated content workflows. PixVerse CLI and Skills are designed to change that. The CLI enables video generation directly from the terminal, compatible with AI-native environments including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw.

Alongside it, PixVerse is releasing a library of Skills: modular, reusable capabilities that encapsulate specific generation modes, styles, and use cases, allowing developers and AI agents to compose PixVerse into larger pipelines. Together, CLI and Skills support end-to-end content production across marketing, e-commerce, and dynamic content generation at scale.

Team Plan, Ad Master Mini App, and PixVerse Skills are available starting today at pixverse.ai.

ABOUT PIXVERSE

PixVerse is a global AI video generation platform trusted by over 100 million creators and enterprises across 175 countries. Its latest model, V6, advances camera control, character performance, and multi-shot audio-visual generation across creative and commercial use cases. In January 2026, PixVerse launched R1, the world’s first real-time world model, transforming video into an infinite, continuous, and interactive stream. With teams distributed across Asia and the US, PixVerse was founded in 2023 with a commitment to making video the universal language of human expression. In March 2026, PixVerse closed its Series C funding round, achieving unicorn status. For more information, visit pixverse.ai.

New General Level Health Claim for Soy in Australia and New Zealand

New Claim Reaffirms the Positive Role of Soy Protein for Heart Health

CHESTERFIELD, Mo., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) and Soy Nutrition Institute Global (SNI Global) applaud a new general level soy heart health claim in Australia and New Zealand.1 Similar claims already exist in the United States,2 Canada,3 and Japan,4 further reinforcing soy protein’s role in supporting heart health worldwide.

The approved claim states: “Consuming 20–25 g of isolated soybean protein from foods or beverages daily, as part of a healthy, balanced diet, contributes to heart health by supporting healthy cholesterol levels.”

Isolated soy protein, derived from soybeans, contains 90% protein and is a high-quality protein, providing all nine essential amino acids in the amounts needed by children and adults.5 It can enhance the nutritional value of foods and beverages such as bars, cereals, baked goods, meat alternatives, and fortified plant-based milks. Just one to two servings of soy foods per day—like a soy protein bar (~17g protein) or beverage (15–20g protein)—can provide 20–25g of soy protein.

Heart disease remains a global health concern, and abnormal cholesterol levels are a key risk factor.6 Research supports soy protein’s cholesterol-lowering effects.7 Soy foods promote heart health by providing high-quality protein that helps reduce total and LDL cholesterol while being naturally low in saturated fat.

“Around 60% of Australian adults and a significant portion of New Zealanders have abnormal blood lipid levels; therefore, a soy-inclusive diet presents a practical nutrition strategy to help maintain optimal cholesterol levels and heart health,” said Alan Barclay, PhD, lead author of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) submission.

Under FSANZ regulations, general level health claims must be scientifically supported, meet stringent nutrient profiling criteria and can appear on food labels and associated marketing materials in Australia and New Zealand.

“The recognition of soy protein’s heart health benefits reinforces the value U.S. Soy delivers, from farmers growing sustainable soybeans to companies producing nutritious soy foods and oil worldwide,” said Will McNair, USSEC’s Director of Soy Foods and Oil.

IFF’s Food Ingredients business unit supported the advancement of this general level health claim, underscoring its commitment to expanding the accessibility and impact of soy-based nutrition across Australia and New Zealand. IFF will lead its implementation across the region.
