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).

A power cable linking Finland and Estonia under the Baltic Sea suffered an outage, prompting an investigation, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said Wednesday.

Writing on X, Orpo said that power transmission through the Estlink-2 cable stopped Wednesday and that authorities were “investigating the matter.” He said the interruption would not affect electricity supplies in Finland, according to The AP.

Estonian network operator Elering said there was enough spare capacity to meet power needs on the Estonian side, public broadcaster ERR said on its website.

Authorities have been on edge about undersea infrastructure in the Baltic. Two data cables, one running between Finland and Germany, the other between Lithuania and Sweden, were severed in November.

Germany's defense minister said officials had to assume the incident was “sabotage," but without providing evidence or saying who might have been responsible. The remark came during a speech in which he discussed hybrid warfare threats from Russia.

The Nord Stream natural gas pipelines that once brought natural gas from Russia to Germany were damaged by underwater explosions in September 2022. Authorities have termed it sabotage and launched criminal probes.

The Estlink-2 cable was down for much of this year to repair damage from a short circuit that may have been caused by the cable's complex positioning, ERR reported.
