One thousand brave firefighters battle desperately against latest Californian wildfire
A FIRE crew strides towards the danger in the desperate battle against the latest Californian wildfire. About 72,000 acres has burnt in four days, with just three per cent of the fires put out, despite the efforts of 1,000 firefighters. 3 3 3 Planes have dropped red fire retardant on the flames engulfing Los Padres National Forest in Solvang. So far, three people have been injured, with about 460 buildings under threat. Last year, thousands of fires destroyed more than a million acres in California. The Pacific Palisades, a haven for A-Lister types, was hit by the horrific infernos with firefighters battling to get the blazes under control. Leighton Meester and Adam Brody's mansion, where they lived with their two young children, was reduced to smoking rubble. Paris Hilton's Malibu beach house and Billy Crystal's sprawling home were also burnt down. Actors John Goodman, Miles Teller and Anthony Hopkins also saw their houses destroyed. At least five separate blazes spread across the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Woodley. Parts of Sunset Boulevard were also torched, leaving one of the most iconic streets in the world reduced to smoking rubble. Some 100,000 people were forced to evacuate Eaton with 30,000 fleeing the Palisades, turning celebrity haunts into ghost towns.

Seatrium partners with Solvang, Norway to establish Carbon Capture and Storage systems
[SINGAPORE] Seatrium announced on Thursday (Jun 19) that it had signed of a letter of intent (LOI) with Solvang, Norway for the installation and retrofitting of full-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems. The project is expected to commence in late 2026, where Solvang's new series of very large gas carriers, configured specifically for CCS systems, is set to be the first potential candidate for a full-scale CCS retrofit and integration. It also further supports Solvang in their fleet decarbonisation, following the successful delivery of Clipper Eris in February – the world's first full-scale turnkey retrofit of a seven Megawatt CCS system. The Clipper Eris project saw Seatrium provided turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction solutions for the CCS package. The LOI was formalised during international trade fair Nor-Shipping 2025 in Oslo, Norway in June, as the companies continue to strive towards sustainable maritime solutions. The landmark project is also a highlight of the decade-long partnership between Seatrium and Solvang. Alvin Gan, executive vice-president of repairs and upgrades, Seatrium, said: 'Building on the success of the pioneer project together on Clipper Eris... This step will deepen our resolve as strategic partners in supporting maritime decarbonisation efforts.'
