Offshore Vessel Charging Tech Developer Plans Commercial Rollout In UK

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the sub-heading.

Stillstrom, part of A.P. Moller – Maersk and based in Denmark, has established a dedicated entity in Aberdeen, Scotland, with plans to roll out its offshore vessel charging solution commercially in the UK.

These three paragraphs add more details.

The solution is transitioning from development to commercial deployment, and, according to a press release issued by Stillstrom on 16 March, the company is targeting one of the world’s most active offshore wind markets for the commercial rollout.

Stillstrom has been developing offshore charging solutions for service operations vessels (SOVs) since 2019, with testing and collaboration carried out with shipowners and developers in Aberdeen. SOVs are amongst the most energy-intensive ships operating at offshore wind farms, according to Stillstrom.

The company says that this has now translated into tangible momentum, with significant discussions underway with major wind farms, as well as partnership and compatibility agreements signed with leading SOV owners and operators.

With Only A Few Months To Go My Health Has Gone Round In A Circle

How many people can honestly say that after seventy-six years that their health has gone round in a circle?

But I have!

At three years old, I was a sickly child with a constantly running nose.

I know this because at that age I can see cauldrons of boiling torn up old sheets, sitting on the gas stove.

I needed so many handkerchiefs,that my mother, used to use the sheets as it was cheaper.

Now my nose is constantly running and sneezing.

In Does Lack Of B12 Make You Sneeze?, I investigate the relationship between B12 and sneezing.

UK Steel Industry Backed By Major New Trade Measure And Strategy

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from UK Government.

These three bullet points act as sub-headings.

  • Landmark new Steel Strategy sets ambition for up to 50% of steel used in the UK to be made in the UK, boosting production from 30%.

  • UK will introduce new trade measure to support national security by preserving vital steel production for critical national infrastructure and defence.

  • Steel import quotas will be reduced with higher tariffs of 50% outside of quotas, ensuring the UK steel sector’s future in the face of global overcapacity.

These three paragraphs add details.

On a visit to Tata Steel Port Talbot to meet steelworkers and launch the Strategy, the Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle announced the Government’s ambition to boost domestic production so that it can meet up to 50% of our domestic demand for steel, and secure the industry’s role in supporting vital UK sectors like infrastructure, defence and clean energy.

Building on the direct financial support the government has made so far, the National Wealth Fund will be the government’s main mechanism for providing up to £2.5 billion of financing for investment in the steel sector this Parliament. The Steel Strategy forms a vital part of the Government’s activist and strategic approach to British industry, taking decisive action to give businesses the certainty and support they need in uncertain times and bolstering the UK’s resilience.

Today, the UK also announces that from 1 July 2026, overall quota levels for steel imports will be significantly reduced by 60% compared to current arrangements, and steel coming into the UK above these levels will be subject to a 50% tariff.

Can You Lose Track Of The Day Because Of Lack Of B12?

I asked Google AI, the title of this post and received this answer.

Yes, you can absolutely lose track of the day, forget appointments, or feel generally disoriented due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function and cognitive health, and a deficiency often manifests as “brain fog,” memory loss, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

Here is how a B12 deficiency can affect your sense of time and mental clarity:

Brain Fog and Confusion: A common symptom of low B12 is a feeling of mental sluggishness, confusion, or lack of focus, often described as “brain fog”.

Memory Issues: It can cause significant forgetfulness or memory lapses, making it difficult to remember what day it is, what you are doing, or what tasks you have completed.

Cognitive Decline: Long-term, untreated deficiency can lead to severe cognitive impairment that may mimic dementia or Alzheimer’s in older adults.

Gradual Onset: Because the body stores B12 in the liver (often enough for 2–5 years), the deficiency develops slowly. As a result, you might not notice the gradual loss of mental sharpness or confusion until it starts significantly impacting your daily life.

The source of the report was the NHS web site.
