Tiny Egyptian harbour is a transshipment point for Russian oil. Western sanctions apparently make people very inventive.

This is Article 19 of Royal Decree-Law 14/2022 of 1 August on measures for economic sustainability in the areas of transport, scholarships and study grants, as well as energy saving, energy efficiency and reduction of energy consumption.

Visitors to the stand can expect a visual leitmotif: communication and interaction with a customised stand design, also to demonstrate the independence of the NVL Group from Lürssen. The fact that the company management and the people involved are known to be the same and are also based at the traditional...
