Hyundai Glovis Partners with Lab021 to Deploy ‘Vessellink'
TOKYO, July 17, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyundai Glovis, a global leader in smart logistics, has entered a strategic partnership with maritime IT solutions provider Lab021 to implement Vessellink, an advanced digital reporting system designed for ship operations.
The collaboration aims to integrate Vessellink for Ship, Lab021's flagship platform, into Hyundai Glovis's maritime operations. This system automates data collection, analysis, and reporting of critical vessel metrics such as real-time voyage monitoring, carbon emissions, and operational efficiency. By digitizing these processes, Hyundai Glovis seeks to enhance operational intelligence and agility while reducing reliance on manual reporting.
This initiative is timely as the maritime industry faces increasing regulatory demands on decarbonization. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is advancing measures targeting greenhouse gas reduction, including stricter carbon intensity standards and the introduction of a global carbon pricing mechanism expected around 2027.
In parallel, the European Union's FuelEU Maritime regulation, effective in 2025, requires vessels calling at EU ports to progressively increase the use of low-carbon fuels. Additionally, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) extended its scope to include shipping in 2024 and plans full emissions coverage by 2026.
By adopting Vessellink, Hyundai Glovis positions itself ahead of these regulatory requirements, strengthening its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. The platform's detailed emissions tracking and real-time reporting improve transparency and build trust with global customers and regulators.
A Hyundai Glovis spokesperson commented, "We are upgrading our data management to align with the maritime sector's goals for decarbonization and digital innovation. Vessellink enables compliance and streamlines our operations. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Lab021 to develop smarter, greener shipping solutions."
Lab021 CEO Sangbong Lee added, "Vessellink represents the future of maritime digitalization, merging precise vessel data with intelligent automation. Our partnership with Hyundai Glovis marks a key step in expanding global adoption of data-driven carbon management tools in shipping."
This collaboration highlights Hyundai Glovis's commitment to future-proofing its maritime activities and reflects the broader industry trend where digital transformation is essential for sustainable shipping.

The Contradiction at the Heart of Trump's Trade Deals
As the dust — perhaps — starts to settle after four frenetic months of trade negotiations, the biggest win for America might be a potential windfall of investment from overseas. In an effort to avoid even higher tariffs, Japan, the European Union and South Korea loosely pledged to directly invest a total of $1.5 trillion in the United States, equivalent to what the government spent on Social Security benefits last year. We don't know exactly when the money will arrive, or if some of it simply replaces investments that might have happened anyway. Even with a healthy haircut, the pledges sound impressive, and could be greater than the new global direct investment in the United States over the past six years. Well before President Trump's deal-making, what's officially known as foreign direct investment has played an increasingly important role in America's economy. Today it accounts for about one in 10 American jobs and more than 16 percent of all U.S. manufacturing jobs. It brings technology and expertise (think Arizona semiconductor facilities courtesy of Taiwan) and supports American innovation, accounting for nearly 16 percent of U.S. corporate research and development. (Yes, the United States benefits from technology and knowledge transfers, just like other countries.) And in contrast to fickle stock and bond flows, this capital is sticky; most projects involve multiyear investments that provide a consistent boost to local economies. The need for foreign cash is only going to become more urgent, since U.S. budget deficits will likely limit how much money Washington has to invest. But there's a problem for the administration. An influx of foreign investment will worsen the trade deficit, which is the opposite of Mr. Trump's stated goal. America should nonetheless take that deal. When other countries want to buy U.S. land or buildings or invest in an American business, they need dollars. Selling foreign currencies to buy dollars pushes up the U.S. currency's value. A stronger dollar, in turn, weighs on exports by making them more expensive overseas. All else being equal, that leads to a wider trade deficit. This is a basic economic reality: A country's current account, which includes trade in goods and services, must balance its capital account — the flow of capital across borders, such as financial assets as well as direct investments. A current account deficit necessitates a capital account surplus. Thus, if you want the benefit of foreign investment, you effectively need to accept trade deficits. This is among the reasons it's wrongheaded to focus simply on America's bilateral trade relationships, as the White House seems to, to measure success or failure. The United States attracts hundreds of billions in new foreign investment every year, thanks to its enormous consumer market, a deep, highly skilled labor pool, an innovative culture and an economic growth rate that often dwarfs that of its overseas peers. The advantages are clear. Americans who benefit directly (through jobs created by foreign investment) and indirectly (via returns on their retirement accounts) have more money to spend, some of which goes to imports and contributes to trade deficits. This is the environment the United States has operated in for decades. Germany's BMW first produced vehicles in South Carolina in 1994 with a $600 million investment and 500 jobs. Since then, BMW has put some $14 billion into its South Carolina operations and now employs over 11,000 workers. The state hosts more than 1,100 operations of foreign-affiliated firms. These firms pay American workers and support U.S. G.D.P. American policymakers want to build on this success, especially when it comes to strategic industries that would bolster national security and create manufacturing jobs by returning to the United States. How to achieve these goals isn't obvious — there will always be trade-offs. The Biden administration tried to address this with a focus on carrots in the form of government incentives. It targeted strategically important foreign firms, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, that would support U.S. national security while creating domestic jobs. Mr. Trump has also offered carrots, including tax breaks, less red tape and a plan to fast-track investment from approved companies. But his administration paired those carrots with sticks: higher tariff rates unless countries provided attractive deals for the United States. Countries have responded by opening up their markets to American products and pledging to put more than a trillion dollars to work in the United States. But these wins could prove difficult to sustain if this administration keeps alienating its allies. Consider Canada, the third-largest source of inbound foreign direct investment to the United States last year. An EY survey of dozens of Canadian chief executives released in June showed that 14 percent had stopped planned investments and 58 percent had delayed investments (domestically and abroad) in response to recent developments in geopolitical and trade policy. Britain, another historically important investment partner for the United States, seems to be having similar doubts. A Deloitte survey released in early July found only net 2 percent of chief financial officers at major British firms saw the United States as an attractive place to invest, down from net 59 percent in late 2024. (Instead they became notably more optimistic about investing at home.) This administration wants a manufacturing renaissance. Achieving that goal will be a lot more likely with robust foreign investment. And for that, the United States needs to keep its overseas friends and accept that smaller trade deficits may not be the optimal policy priority.

ISCA, SHICPA sign MoU to strengthen accounting collaboration
The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) has formalised a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Shanghai Institute of Certified Public Accountants (SHICPA) for the international development of the accountancy profession. The partnership also aims at fostering collaboration between the accounting sectors in Singapore and China. This agreement seeks to advance the accounting profession in both regions, with an emphasis on improving the professional skills of accountants and aligning practices with international standards. As part of the initiative, ISCA and SHICPA will coordinate a delegation of more than 20 accounting professionals from Shanghai to participate in the 'Singapore Intensive Training Programme' hosted by ISCA. This programme is intended to develop the professional capabilities and global perspectives of the attendees while facilitating exchanges in the financial and accounting sectors between the two countries. Additionally, the collaboration aims to promote cultural integration and the enhancement of soft skills, which are vital for supporting cross-border investment and contributing to global sustainable development objectives. The MoU is part of ISCA's broader strategy to expand its international reach and collaborate with various professional accountancy organisations and academic institutions globally. ISCA vice-president Judy Ng said: 'This collaboration with SHICPA reflects ISCA's ongoing commitment to raising professional standards and strengthening global ties within the accountancy profession. 'By sharing knowledge and expertise across borders, we not only support the development of individual professionals, but also contribute to the resilience and competitiveness of our firms and economies." Earlier in 2025, ISCA also signed agreements with Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and Nanjing University of Finance & Economics. This partnership with SHICPA signifies a notable step towards enhancing cooperation and knowledge exchange between Singapore and China, both of which play significant roles in the global financial landscape. SHICPA vice-president Fang Yifeng said: 'We are pleased to partner with ISCA to offer our members the opportunity to gain global perspectives and practical insights in Singapore. 'This programme represents a meaningful step in strengthening people-to-people ties and fostering professional exchange between Shanghai and Singapore, which are both important financial centres in the region.'

Why Is Ryde Stock Soaring Friday?
Ryde Group (NYSE:RYDE) stock gained on Friday after it announced that the NYSE American had accepted its plan to regain compliance with the exchange's continued listing standards. On May 21, 2025, NYSE American notified the Singapore-based mobility and quick commerce technology platform that it fell short of the NYSE American Company Guide, which applies to companies with less than $4 million in stockholders' equity and losses in three of the past four fiscal years. Ryde submitted its compliance plan before the June 20, 2025, August 5, 2025, NYSE American granted Ryde until November 21, 2026, to meet the requirements, with quarterly monitoring during the plan period. During this time, Ryde's Class A voting shares will remain under the "RYDE" symbol. The company said the notice does not affect its business, operations, financial position, liquidity, or SEC reporting obligations. Still, it cautioned that it cannot assure progress or guarantee it will regain compliance before the plan period ends. Ryde stock plunged over 30% year-to-date. However, it remains invested in strategic partnerships to unlock value. In July, Ryde announced entering Singapore's high-end electric mobility market with RydeLUXE 6, launched in partnership with Atoll Discovery after acquiring a 40% stake in the fleet operator. The deal gives Ryde immediate access to Atoll's GAC E9 luxury PHEV fleet and corporate client network, strengthening its premium ride-hailing segment. Ryde plans to route Atoll's corporate contracts through its app, while Atoll will expand its fleet to 100 units by the end of 2026. The venture is expected to contribute up to 10% of Ryde's revenue by 2027 and supports Singapore's Green Plan 2030. Price Action: RYDE shares are trading higher by 6.25% to $0.3400 premarket at last check Friday.
