Reem Al-Khwaiter, a Saudi marine mechanical engineer, has been honored with the 'Young Achieved Women' award during the ShipTek International Awards 2024 conference in Dubai.
The (Shiptek) conference is one of the leading maritime conferences in the maritime transport sector, which was held this year in Dubai on January 24-25.

The "Young Achievers" award is one of the leading international annual awards in the maritime sector, sought by many interested in the maritime transport sector, and is nominated according to certain criteria determined by experts specialized in the sector.
Al-Khwaiter is the first Saudi mechanical engineer in the maritime sector, as she continues her career with (Bahri), the national shipping company of the Kingdom and is the largest owner and operator of giant crude oil tankers (VLCC) and chemical tankers in the Middle East.
The employment and enrollment rate of Saudi women in the maritime transport sector is on the rise, as part of the quest to empower women cadres in the maritime transport sector, reflecting the continuous efforts to achieve the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy (NTLS).

The 50,000-year-old remains of a baby mammoth uncovered by melting permafrost have been unveiled to the public by researchers in Russia's Siberia region who call it the best-preserved mammoth body ever found.

Nicknamed Yana, the female mammoth weighs more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) and is 120 centimeters (47 inches) tall.

Scientists believe that Yana was 1 year old when she died. Her remains are one of seven mammoth carcasses recovered worldwide.

Yana was found among the melting permafrost at the Batagaika crater in the far-eastern Russian area of Yakutia. Known as the “gateway to the underworld,” the crater is 1 kilometer deep and has previously revealed the remains of other ancient animals including bison, horses and dogs.

As permafrost melts, affected by climate change, more and more parts of prehistoric animals are being discovered.

Yana will be studied by scientists at Russia's North-Eastern Federal University, which has a dedicated mammoth research center and museum.

The university described the find as “exceptional” and said it would give researchers new information about how mammoths lived and adapted to their surroundings.
