Wavesave, a Dutch leader in water management solutions, today announces a strategic expansion beyond its flagship Flood Control Solutions to include a complete suite of Drought Control Solutions, Data Analytics & Services, and Consultancy & Training.
Rooted in the Netherlands' centuries-long tradition of water expertise, Wavesave broadened offering reflects the company's steadfast commitment to protecting communities against both floods and droughts while addressing the increasing challenges posed by global climate pressures.
Flood Control Remains at the Core
Flood Control Solutions continue to be the centerpiece of Wavesave's mission. The company's proven track record includes robust Flood Barriers and innovative Nature-Based Solutions that minimize damage in vulnerable coastal areas and river basins.
Drawing on the Dutch mastery of water management, celebrated worldwide for pioneering dike construction and advanced surge barriers, Wavesave remains at the forefront of protecting critical infrastructure and communities from devastating floods.
'Our flood defenses combine modern engineering with the expertise honed over generations in the Netherlands. We have always excelled at controlling water to prevent catastrophic floods. Now, we are applying that same innovative spirit to address drought challenges that are increasingly driven by climate pressures,' says Omar Saleh, CEO of Wavesave.
Expanded Drought Control Solutions
Wavesave's new Drought Control Solutions directly address the growing threat of water scarcity. The portfolio now features Rainwater Harvesting, Water Storage Systems, and Irrigation Systems, all designed to help communities maintain reliable water supplies during prolonged dry periods.
'When we witnessed entire regions struggling with crop failures and dwindling water reserves, we recognized that our expertise could make a significant difference. By merging advanced engineering with efficient water collection, storage, and distribution methods, we are transforming a crisis into an opportunity for sustainable growth,' explains Saleh.
Data Analytics and Services
Complementing its physical solutions, Wavesave extends its offerings into Data Analytics & Services through cutting-edge Data Collection Hardware and GIS Mapping Services. These tools provide crucial real-time insights that help stakeholders predict risks from floods and droughts and allocate resources effectively.
By delivering actionable data via satellite imagery and automated monitoring, Wavesave empowers governments, NGOs, and private organizations to take swift, informed action.
Consultancy and Training: End-to-End Support
Wavesave's integrated approach goes beyond supplying equipment. Through its Consultancy & Training Services, the company ensures that local teams acquire the skills to maintain and operate complex water management systems over the long term.
Wavesave's specialists provide Technical Consultancy, Project Management, and comprehensive on-site Training Programs, building local capacity that endures.
'True resilience is not just about deploying technology; it is about empowering communities. By training local stakeholders, we ensure that our solutions remain effective long after installation. This approach enables communities to manage their own water resources and adapt to the challenges brought about by climate pressures,' adds Saleh.
Protecting Lives and Ecosystems
While the expanded portfolio marks a significant milestone, Wavesave's core mission remains unchanged: saving human and animal lives through sustainable water solutions. The company understands that water-related crises, whether from devastating floods or chronic droughts, can destabilize entire regions.
By offering a dual approach that both defends against excess water and ensures adequate supply during shortages, Wavesave creates a ripple effect of positive change across communities.
A Dutch Legacy with Global Impact
Wavesave's roots in the Netherlands underscore its reputation for water management excellence. Dutch engineers and hydrologists have long set the standard for effective water control, and Wavesave carries this tradition forward with innovative approaches spanning flood prevention and drought mitigation.
The company's dual focus, protecting communities from excessive water while ensuring reliable supply during dry periods, reinforces its mission to safeguard lives and promote environmental resilience amid a changing climate.

U.S. Coast Guard Rescues 22 from Burning Car Carrier Hauling EVs Across the Pacific

A car-carrier ship known as the Morning Midas filled with hundreds of EVs has been evacuated by the U.S. Coast Guard some 300 miles off the coast of Alaska after an onboard fire engulfed the 600-foot cargo ship on Tuesday. The ship originated from Yantai, China, on May 26 and was bound for the port of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, where it was reportedly set to deliver 3000 vehicles, according to a statement from the ship's management company Zodiac Maritime. Of those 3000 vehicles, Zodiac Maritime told Automotive News that the Morning Midas was carrying about 800 electric vehicles, though the manufacturer of these vehicles is not yet known. Zodiac Maritime said that the 22-person crew of the Morning Midas initiated firefighting procedures but were unsuccessful in putting out the blaze, prompting the U.S. Coast Guard to evacuate all 22 persons on board. A statement from the Alaska Maritime region of the U.S. Coast Guard said that there were no reported injuries from the fire or during the evacuation. Three USCG vessels initially arrived on scene, with a larger cutter ship and aircraft assets arriving later. This is not the first time in recent years that a boat carrying thousands of cars has sunk. The Felicity Ace, a Panamanian ship regularly contracted by the Volkswagen Group, sank in the North Atlantic Ocean back in 2022 due to an onboard fire allegedly fueled by an electric battery, bringing 4000 VW Group vehicles along with it. (Road & Track editor-at-large Matt Farah actually had a custom-ordered Porsche that sank inside the Felicity Ace.) Then, a Dutch ship known as the Fremantle Highway caught fire in the North Sea in 2023, killing one crew member and drowning a fleet of Rolls-Royces. Similarly, the Grande America sank in 2019 from an on-board fire, dooming a crop of ultra-rare Porsche 911 GT2 RS units. The implications of such an event for automakers are significant in its own right, but this most recent fire re-ignites debate about the safety of shipping electric vehicles. Following the fire and sinking of the Felicity Ace, a number of safety watchdog organizations as well as anti-EV pundits began to question the sanctity of shipping cars that could ignite into a relatively uncontrollable blaze. Allianz Commercial even confirmed to Reuters that such incidents were at the highest level ever in 2024. That being said, the Vehicle Carrier Safety Forum recently published a set of guidelines to further prepare ship crew for the potential of fire, and included specific actions meant to limit damage and danger should a blaze occur. While we don't know which manufacturers are affected by this sunken ship just yet, we do know that 3000 vehicles won't ever make it to dealership lots. That's not a drop in the bucket for any automaker, but the safety and security of all 22 crew members remains the most important factor.

Fairphone 6's modular design could let you customize, not just repair

Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Fairphone could launch its next phone, the Fairphone 6, later this month. The device may feature a modular back panel, allowing users to easily switch to a different back panel color or add accessories. The Fairphone 6 could come in three colors and retail for €549.99. It's been almost two years since Dutch smartphone maker Fairphone released the Fairphone 5, and a successor is long overdue. Fortunately, there's finally some good news. A new leak suggests that the Fairphone 6 may be right around the corner, and it could feature an updated modular design with support for interchangeable accessories. The Fairphone 6 could launch on June 25, according to retail data sourced by Dutch publication Nieuwe Mobiel. The device will reportedly be available in a single 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration, with WinFuture adding that Fairphone will offer it in three colors: Horizon Black, Cloud White, and Forest Green. Although we don't have more details about the Fairphone 6's internal hardware, WinFuture has shared an image of its front profile and revealed that it could feature a modular two-part back panel. This new back panel could be somewhat similar to what we've seen on the CMF Phone 1, and allow users to easily switch to a different color back panel or utilize its two-part design to give the phone a dual-tone look. The modular back panel will also support accessories like a card holder, a lanyard, or a ring to make holding the device easier. We don't have a clear idea of the mounting mechanism for these accessories, as the image doesn't showcase the phone's back panel. However, it does give us a look at what appears to be a sliding latch, which might allow users to open the back panel easily. Furthermore, the publication adds that the Fairphone 6 will feature a user-replaceable main, wide-angle, and selfie cameras. Like the Fairphone 5, its earpiece, speaker, USB-C port, display, and battery will also be interchangeable. Fairphone could retail the phone for €549.99 (~$629), but we'll have to wait until the launch for confirmation. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

TotalEnergies in landmark greenwashing trial in France

Environmental groups took TotalEnergies to court Thursday in a landmark Paris trial, accusing the French oil and gas giant of misleading consumers with ads that overstate its climate commitments and fossil fuel transition. It is the first such case in France targeting a major energy company and could set a legal precedent for corporate environmental advertising, which is starting to face tighter regulations in the European Union. The civil case stems from a March 2022 lawsuit by three environmental groups accusing TotalEnergies of "misleading commercial practices" for saying it could reach carbon neutrality while continuing oil and gas production. The plaintiffs took that legal route as "greenwashing", or the act of claiming to be more environmentally responsible than in reality, is not specifically covered under French law. Starting in May 2021, TotalEnergies advertised its goal of "carbon neutrality by 2050" and touted gas as "the fossil fuel with the lowest greenhouse gas emissions". At the time, the company had changed its name from Total to TotalEnergies to emphasise its investments in wind turbines and solar panels for electricity production. The plaintiffs allege that TotalEnergies made around 40 "false advertisements" in their lawsuit. "For the average consumer, it is impossible to understand that TotalEnergies is actually expanding fossil fuel production," said Clementine Baldon, a lawyer for the NGOs. The company's strategy "will not help the energy transition", Baldon told the court. "It delays it, even prevents it, and it contributes to putting the objectives of the Paris accord at risk," she added, referring to the international agreement aimed at curbing climate change. TotalEnergies maintains it has not engaged in misleading commercial practices. Moreover, it insists that the messages are part of its institutional communications regulated by financial authorities and not consumer law. It has also argued the NGOs are misusing consumer protection rules to challenge its corporate strategy, and that no consumer organisation is party to the case. The NGOs said the Paris court will rule on the legality of ads presenting natural gas as essential to the energy transition. Climate experts say methane leaks from the gas industry have a powerful warming effect on the atmosphere. - Correcting ads - Environmental groups in recent years have turned to the courts to establish case law on companies misleading consumers by appearing more eco-friendly than they are. In Europe, courts ruled against Dutch airline KLM in 2024 and Germany's Lufthansa in March over misleading consumers about their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of flying. In Spain, utility Iberdrola failed to secure a conviction against Spanish oil and gas company Repsol over similar allegations of "false" environmental claims. A greenwashing case against Australian oil and gas producer Santos, challenging its claim to be a "clean fuels" company, has been ongoing since 2021. Other fossil fuel companies, under pressure from advertising regulators or legal complains, have had to scrap or correct ad campaigns. Shell, for example, received a warning in the UK and had to stop promoting "carbon-neutral" gasoline in several countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Canada. New European laws now ban vague, generic environmental claims such as "green" or "100 percent natural" product, and aim to require brands to more strictly substantiate environmental claims on labels and in advertising. TotalEnergies has said it plans to show that its messages "about its name change, strategy and role in the energy transition are reliable and based on objective, verifiable data". nal/ak/lth/rl
