Quiet day for opportunity signals.
Executive summary
Quiet 36-hour window for P&M: no items met the Opportunity Signals threshold, and no Cavotec-relevant items survived once cross-day dedup ran (one Long Beach cargo update was already covered). Industry context is dominated by the Hormuz crisis — Suezmax tankers continuing to transit under Iranian political pressure — alongside a Corvus/BYD maritime energy-storage partnership, a Kongsberg simulator certification, and the formal opening of Rauanheimo's sulphur terminal at Kotka.
