AD Ports Group, an enabler of integrated trade, transport and logistics solutions, today announced it was preparing to receive three new state-of-the-art Panamax cranes from Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co (ZPMC), ordered for the group's new multipurpose cargo terminal in Safaga, Egypt, which is expected to be operational in the second half of 2026. Under a 30-year concession agreement signed with the Red Sea Ports Authority (RSPA) in 2023, the group is developing and will operate a multi-purpose terminal in Safaga Port. AD Ports Group is investing AED193 million ($52.55 million) in three ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, and six hybrid rubber tyred gantry (RTG) cranes for Noatum Ports - Safaga Terminal, the company said. This is in addition to a contract for six ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, and 17 hybrid rubber tyred gantry (RTG) cranes awarded to ZPMC for a cost of over AED420 million to be deployed in terminal projects in New East Mole Terminal in Pointe Noire - Republic of the Congo, and Noatum Ports, Luanda Terminal in Angola as announced by AD Ports Group in September last year. The impending delivery of the cranes signals the start of final preparations for Noatum Ports - Safaga Terminal, following the appointment, in December last year, of Hassan Allam Construction, Egypt's leading engineering and construction company, to build the infrastructure of the multipurpose terminal on Egypt's Red Sea coast, which will be the first internationally operated port terminal in Upper Egypt region. The terminal's area includes erecting superstructure, equipment, buildings, and utilities to create advanced facilities and leading-edge infrastructure and handle diverse cargo including dry bulk, liquid bulk, containerised cargo and Ro-Ro vehicles. Noatum Ports - Safaga Terminal will encompass approximately 810,000 sq m, a 1,000-m quay wall, with container capacity of 450K TEUs , 5 million tonnes dry bulk and general cargo capacity, 1 million tonnes liquid bulk capacity, Ro-Ro facilities with 50K CEUs capacity, as well as common areas. The multiple facilities will include administration buildings, workshops, warehouses, and authority buildings, along with extensive infrastructure development including roads, utilities and security systems. The project will feature a 48,000 sq m concrete apron, an 80,354 sq m container terminal with supporting infrastructure, and approximately 66,360 sq m for general cargo and break-bulk operations. Ahmed Al Mutawa, AD Ports Group Regional CEO, said: 'Noatum Ports - Safaga Terminal will support Egypt's economic development with creation of the Red Sea region's most modern, efficient terminal facility, which will vastly improve the area's connectivity and lower costs for traders and businesses.

Noatum Ports - Safaga Terminal is an important milestone in the development of our Group's growing ports and maritime strategy in Egypt, where we are taking a lead role through cruise, multipurpose and Ro-Ro concessions to lay a foundation for rapid growth.' The Safaga concession is part of a broader expansion into Egypt's Red Sea region, where the group also has concessions to operate three cruise passenger terminal in Safaga, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, and has initialed agreements with Egyptian authorities to operate a passenger cruise terminal and a Ro-Ro terminal in Ain Sokhna, near the Red Sea mouth of the Suez Canal.

diaMentis reaches an important milestone in optimizing and accelerating the diagnosis of mental illnesses
QUEBEC, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Holder of an innovative diagnostic support technology, recognized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a major scientific breakthrough, diaMentis unveils unprecedented results for the optimization and acceleration of mental illness diagnosis, marking a significant turning point for the Quebec-based company. Highlighted in the peer-reviewed international journal Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, diaMentis' study reveals previously unexplored areas of the retinal signal, and identifies new key factors to better differentiate mental disorders. This breakthrough will notably enable much more efficient diagnosis of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and type 1 bipolar disorder. These results could be pivotal in driving a major paradigm shift in mental health management, significantly reducing the overall burden of institutional and community care. Provided that the necessary additional capital and resources are secured, diaMentis' innovative diagnostic support technology could be applied to other therapeutic fields that also need modernization. What the study reveals The study highlights the relevance of high-density retinal signals for deciphering biosignatures, as described in diaMentis' patent portfolio and patent applications. The study confirms the exceptional performances of diaMentis' prediction models and its patented RSPA® (retinal signal processing and analysis) concept. This system uses high-density retinal signals to build mathematical functions that predict whether a patient presents a pathological condition. The predictor mappings show that important classifiers are located in areas of the retinal signal that have never been studied before. This allows for extracting multiple biomarkers, spread across the entire dataset, unlike conventional ERG components that are rarer and less visible. The complete version of the study is available in Biomedical Signal Processing and Control. Addressing the challenges in diagnosing certain mental illnesses Scientists have long established that an accurate diagnosis in the early stages of a psychotic disorder is likely to lead to earlier relevant treatment with shorter duration of untreated psychosis episodes, which in turn will improve long-term functioning in most patients. Since symptoms may not yet be fully expressed at the onset of the illness, may develop slowly, and/or may overlap with other conditions, frequent misdiagnoses or long delays of five to ten years can occur, despite the high qualifications of clinicians, who are sometimes numerous specialists to be involved for a single patient123. In the United States, more than 57.8 million adults suffer from one of these diseases leading to more than 300 million medical consultations annually, and estimated mental health costing the US economy more than USD $280B annually45. In Canada, the incidence of adults experiencing significant symptoms of mental illness, and associated estimated healthcare system and economic impacts, are relatively similar to the US6. QUOTES 'The results of our study could be pivotal in driving a major paradigm shift in mental health management and significantly reducing the overall burden of institutional and community care. To the extent that the additional capital and resources needed are obtained, our breakthrough technology could be applied to other therapeutic areas that also need modernization.' - Normand Tremblay, President and CEO, diaMentis 'Over the past few months, the interim analysis of the clinical study results and the refinement of our mathematical models have led to exceptional outcomes. These results encourage us to continue our goal of transforming and modernizing the way patients with SZ and BP1 are diagnosed, thus enabling optimal management care.' - Claude Hariton, PhD, DSc. VP & Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) About diaMentis Arising from research conducted at Laval University, diaMentis holds intellectual property rights over retinal signal analysis and has an approved patent in the United States, with pending patent applications in several countries. The company has over 100 individual and institutional shareholders. Given the increasingly strong scientific evidence, diaMentis is now seeking to raise an additional USD $17.5 million, with $7.5 million allocated to the completion of its validation study at U.S. and Canadian clinical sites, and $10 million allocated to the completion of all aspects related to the industrialization of its solutions, including the continuation of its first wave of regulatory approvals in the U.S. and Canada.
