Valenciaport leads Spain in natural gas supply operations
Valenciaport is at the forefront in Spain in the supply of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) by the shipping company Baleària. Specifically, in 2020, the Dénia-based company carried out a total of 291 natural gas supply operations, reaching 26,777 m3, in the Port of Valencia, which represents 40% of the bunkering operations carried out by the company in Spain, the company said in its release.
The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) and Baleària have been collaborating for years in the introduction of LNG and the improvement of supply services to ships with this fuel with the implementation of the Multi Truck to Ship System (MTTS). Thus, 95% of all Baleària’s supplies were carried out using this method, where several tankers simultaneously supply liquefied natural gas to the ship, making bunkering faster and more efficient. The ships that received this cleaner fuel were the five ferries that last year connected the port of Valen

South Padre Island in Texas.
Cardiac research and orbital plumbing were the Monday highlights for the Expedition 64 crew aboard the International Space Station.
Flight Engineer Kate Rubins peered through a microscope at heart tissue samples today for the Cardinal Heart study. The microgravity study may provide new insights and advanced therapies for heart conditions on Earth and in space.
For the Vascular Echo experiment today, Flight Engineer Victor Glover strapped on a Doppler probe to his right leg to scan his femoral artery during a light exercise session. The cardiovascular study, running since March 2015 on the orbiting lab, is looking at how living in space stiffens the arteries.
