Vantage Corp Further Expands Asia-Pacific Presence with Two Additional LOIs to Acquire a Hong Kong and Mainland China-Based Shipbroking Firm
Following the recently announced planned acquisition of a Singapore-based shipbroking company, these two new LOIs represent the Company's first formal step toward establishing an operational hub in the Greater China region. This move reflects Vantage Corp's strategic vision to create a tri-hub model across three key maritime centers in Southeast Asia (namely Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China), firmly positioning it at the core of the region's most vital shipping and trade corridors. These latest LOIs align with the Company's broader growth strategy, which focuses on acquiring established shipbroking firms to expand into new geographic markets while simultaneously strengthening its operational capabilities and service offerings.
'These planned strategic acquisitions mark a significant milestone in our long-term strategy as we expand into key maritime markets in Southeast Asia,' said Vantage Corp CEO Andresian D'Rozario. 'Establishing a presence in the Greater China region is a critical step toward realizing our vision of a tri-hub operational model across Asia, anchored in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. This move not only strengthens our geographic footprint but also positions us to better serve our global client base across key trade routes. By integrating our expanding Asia operations with our growing and scaling presence in the Middle East, we are creating a unified and scalable business that enhances operational efficiency, deepens market penetration, and enables us to capture synergies across regions. Looking ahead, M&A will continue to remain central to our strategy, with plans to enter the United States and European market.'
Each LOI outlines a framework for the potential acquisition of the respective companies, subject to the completion of customary due diligence, regulatory approvals, and the execution of definitive agreements. In line with Vantage (BVI) Corporation's confidentiality obligations, further details will be disclosed upon finalization of definitive agreements.

Orbital Operations Raises $8.8-Million Seed Round
Long Beach-based Orbital Operations raised an $8.8-million seed round led by Initialized Capital to build high-thrust orbital vehicles. The company was founded in 2023 by former Relativity Space engineers Benjamin Schleuniger and Ross Doherty, who recently participated in Y Combinator's accelerator program. It is developing Astraeus, a high-thrust, cryogenic space vehicle that can stay in orbit for years. The company is focused on national defense and intends for the U.S. Space Force to utilize its space vehicle as a third-stage rocket that can loiter indefinitely for interception and space domain awareness. Astraeus will be powered by a proprietary 10,000 lb-thrust engine, capable of delivering 10 kilometers per second of delta-v, which is enough to wait in low Earth orbit, then sprint to a target when needed. Fuel components, liquid hydrogen and oxygen boil off in space, which can cut missions short. The company plans to develop an active cooling system with heat exchangers and turbomachinery to keep propellants stable. While the tech could serve commercial uses, it is developing technology first for counterspace defense. With the funding, it will develop an engine test stand and a ground-based demo of the cooling system, aiming to prove long-term propellant storage by year's end.

New Yemeni coffee shop opening soon in University City
Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. will open its first North Carolina café across from UNC Charlotte on Friday, Aug. 22. Why it matters: The Michigan-based chain joins a growing wave of Yemeni coffee brands — including Haraz and Qahwah House — expanding to Charlotte. Context: Owner Aziza Montaser, who was born and raised in New York in a Yemeni household, says she opened Qamaria to bridge her Yemeni and American identities. She hopes the new café will serve as a third space. "As Muslims, we don't drink alcohol. Our way to enjoy ourselves is to sit down and have a cup of coffee together, tea and laugh and talk," said Montaser. Dig in: Qamaria serves hand-harvested Yemeni coffee and hot tea — by the cup or kettle to share. Many of the drinks highlight different Yemeni cities and feature traditional flavors such as cardamom and spices. The pastry case includes honeycomb bread, sabaya, milk cakes, croissants and cheesecakes, plus fruit refreshers. The vibe: The 1,600-square-foot café seats up to 100 guests, with additional patio seating and a private meeting room. Inside, the space is decorated with Yemeni artwork, a map, majlis-style sofas and cultural books. Stop by: Find Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. at 9325 JW Clay Blvd. next to Crazy Legs. Free parking is available in the parking deck of the JW Clay Station light rail stop. It'll be open 7am to midnight on weekdays and 7am-1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
