Executive summary

Norway has opened a new ~$130m grant round for green-ship newbuilds, funding capex that points straight at shore-charging demand in a core Cavotec market. In Denmark, Thyborøn Port has tendered a new RoRo terminal in its South Harbour — an early port-expansion signal ahead of mooring and shore-power packages. DP World, meanwhile, is in exclusive talks to acquire a US container terminal, extending a top-tier customer's North American footprint. The Strait of Hormuz remains the macro backdrop, with transits still well below normal amid conflicting US–Iran signals.
