Bunker fuel prices for ships remain at historically elevated levels, keeping pressure on vessel operating costs even as the marine-fuel supply squeeze that followed disruption around the Strait of Hormuz has eased at major fueling hubs.
In Singapore, the world's largest bunkering center, very-low-sulphur fuel oil, or VLSFO, was ******* sed at about $908 per metric ton this week, while marine gasoil (MGO) stood at $1,448 per ton and high-sulphur fuel oil at roughly $770 per ton, according to ******* yst Ship & Bunker.
At Rotterdam, Europe's busiest port, VLSFO was about $731 per ton, compared with $804 per ton in Houston and $1,005 per ton in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.
The premium at Fujairah, the Middle East's principal bunker hub, shows the continuing impact of constrained traffic and supply-chain disruption in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Bunkering activity at Fujairah has recovered to about 40% of its prewar level, according to industry comments reported from the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference, but remains well below normal.
Costs still far above January

Russian oil producer Rosneft has commenced oil shipments from its Vostok Oil project following a commissioning ceremony overseen by Russian President Vladimir Putin via video link.
The first oil from the development was loaded onto the Valentin Pikul Arc7-class Arctic tanker at the Bukhta Sever port.
Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak also participated in the event.
The Vostok Oil project consolidates a number of significant oil and gas deposits in the northern Krasnoyarsk Territory.
Rosneft estimates the project's resource base at seven billion tonnes (bt) of oil with sulphur content ranging between 0.01% and 0.1%.

Dorian LPG has agreed an order with South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean for the construction of three 90,000m³ dual-fuel Panamax very large gas carriers (VLGCs) for a total price of around $345m (Won463.5bn).
The three ships are scheduled for delivery in June, September and December 2030.
Each VLGC will be fitted with dual-fuel engines capable of burning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or conventional low-sulphur fuels. They will also feature a shaft generator system that allows power to be produced on board during sea passages.
Hull forms and main engines have been designed to take larger-diameter propellers and energy-saving devices around the propellers, which the company said improves overall energy efficiency.
Dorian LPG said the Panamax dimensions give its charterers commercial flexibility to transit the old Panama Canal locks.

Revenue growth of 36% was primarily driven by the ECP and advanced packaging categories, which both increased more than 150% year-over-year, reflecting a successful transition into a broader multi-product company.
Management attributes recent success in advanced packaging to a strategic decision made five years ago to invest in horizontal panel-level plating, anticipating a shift from wafer-level to panel-level packaging for AI applications.
The company achieved a significant milestone by receiving orders for its panel-level horizontal plating tools from two customers, including a production order in China and an evaluation system for a new customer in Asia.
Cleaning revenue experienced a 14% decline as the portfolio shifts toward newer SPM (Sulphuric Acid Peroxide Mixture) technologies, which are currently in the shipment phase rather than the revenue recognition phase.

The New York Giants — and our esteemed editor Ed Valentine — are at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, for John Harbaugh's first training camp as head football coach of the Giants. Mike Renner wrote a detailed article ranking and evaluating 191 first-round selections since 2020.
Rather than simply ranking the best players drafted in the first round from 2020-2025, Mike Renner of CBS Sports evaluated each decision from the team's point of view and the draft slot the player was selected. It's not just Renner ranking the players, but also the value of the pick itself. The 2026 draft was not included, but the 2020-2025 classes are, and Renner breaks down his ranking in thirds.
Renner used three tiers to organize the 191 first-round selections. He then shifted to a team-by-team audit, explaining which franchises consistently made good decisions, which repeatedly missed, and what trends define each front office's drafting philosophy.
Here are all the picks that the New York Giants made in the first round since 2020:
Of the eight first-round picks that the Giants selected since 2020, Renner had four in the top third and four in the bottom third. Renner had this to say about the Giants' ****** sment:

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — When starting slot cornerback Dru Phillips left practice early on Wednesday after getting tangled up with wide receiver Xavier Gipson, head coach John Harbaugh was hopeful Phillips would be able to return to practice on Thursday.
That wasn't the case. Phillips sat out practice on Thursday with what Harbaugh called "a mild knee sprain."
"He came out of it pretty well," Harbaugh said. "It's going to be a little bit. He won't be back tomorrow. But the good news is he's going to be okay."
Phillips' knee sprain is, thus far, the most significant injury the Giants have suffered during training camp.
Phillips, a 2024 third-round pick, has played in 31 games over two seasons with the Giants as the team's primary nickel cornerback.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart's antics landed him in hot water with his head coach during New York Giants training camp.
The competitive spark flew during practice in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., when Dart — the former Ole Miss star and 2025 first-round NFL Draft — celebrated a touchdown by whipping the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome II's face mask, according to People, which published its report Wednesday, August 5.
Christopher Szagola/Cal Sport Media/Newscom/The Mega Agency
"Just them competing," tight end Isaiah Likely said of the moment between Dart and Newsome, per the report. "I mean, training camp, Day 2 of pads, getting tired, obviously in the red zone points are at stake. I mean, that's the type of dog you want in a quarterback."
Likely, who's played alongside Newsome for years, added, "And obviously, Newsome, I've been playing with him for quite a while. I know he's a dog himself. So he's not going to back down on ***** ody."

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The New York Giants completed their third consecutive day of padded practices, the maximum allowed by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, on Wednesday.
This was the best day of camp for the offense, and for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham — This was Beckham's best day of camp. He caught passes from Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston, and Brandon Allen, and showed some burst turning a couple of those receptions upfield. Yes, Beckham received some first-team reps on Wednesday, the second straight day that has happened. I refuse to fuss about that, though. Jalin Hyatt and Xavier Gipson also got first-team reps.
Jaxson Dart — After he fired a ball at Greg Newsome after a touchdown on Tuesday, Harbaugh made sure the quarterback was penalized 15 yards for taunting. You can be sure the topic was addressed during the team's Tuesday night film session.
"We have our team meeting, and all those plays come up, the different things come up. So, that's an opportunity for coaching points. So, we went over the sequence, and everybody knows," head coach John Harbaugh said. "So, it was good. He was great about it. He's great about accepting responsibility and he's a very accountable guy."

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The New York Giants continue preparations for the 2026 NFL season on Wednesday with their seventh practice of training camp at The Greenbrier Sports Performance Center. Fans will be in attendance for this one.
Head coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that the Giants are trying to "chase perfection."
"You try to get better at everything you can possibly do," Harbaugh said when asked how he measures training camp progress. "So, I'm not really measuring stats or anything like that too much. I'm just looking at the technique and it's play by play, situation by situation. We're trying to execute as well as we can every single play. We're trying to chase perfection as much as we can and make the corrections, pat the guys on the back where appropriate and move on to the next play."
Will Odell Beckham's uptick in snaps, which occurred for the first time on Tuesday, continue?
Will veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee swelling) return to practice?

#trying #Giants #tuesday #practice

Giants coach John Harbaugh had a few thoughts — though not much harsh public criticism — regarding what Jaxson Dart did Tuesday.
Dart, the Giants' prized second-year quarterback, acted like an immature fool at one point during the Giants' sixth training camp practice at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
After running for a touchdown during a red-zone period late in practice, Dart celebrated in preening fashion — by throwing the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome's helmet.
As you'd imagine, that upset Newsome, a projected starter who joined the Giants as a free agent this offseason.
After practice, Harbaugh — the Giants' new no-nonsense big whistle — was asked what he thought about Dart doing that.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — At the end of the 2025 season, New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton told media that he hoped the team would hire a Coughlin-esque head coach. The Giants, of course, hired John Harbaugh, an old-school coach with a Super Bowl **** le and an 18-year track record filled with success.
So, did Slayton get what he wanted?
"I would say so," Slayton told **** embled media at The Greenbrier Sports Performance Center on Friday. "Yeah, absolutely. I feel like he's in that echelon, that ilk. He obviously came from arguably one of the most old-school divisions in football of the Ravens and the Steelers. I definitely think he's what we needed. There's definitely been a sense of accountability off the rip, which has been huge for us. I'm definitely glad Coach Harbaugh's here."
Slayton did not want to give specific examples of Harbaugh holding anyone accountable. That was a veteran move, smartly not throwing any teammates under the bus. He spoke in general terms.
"Already in this camp, he's already kind of expressed that at the end of the day, in this life, if somebody's not doing something up to the echelon that you want them to do, you go to them, you make that clear to them that that's not what we're going to do around here, then they have a chance to respond," Slayton said. "And that's something that he's already done in our first few days of camp and has gotten a positive response out of the individuals that he's done that with. So, I think that's really big for a football team."

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — With the New York Giants enjoying their first off day of training camp, let's ***** s the first four days in our traditional "Kudos & Wet ***** " style.
The beautiful setting — This is a gorgeous place. If you love lush green trees, the mountains, open ***** es, fresh air with a lack of humidity, crisp evenings and early mornings, and the feel of having stepped back in time to an earlier era this is the kind of place for you.
Kayvon Thibodeaux — Thibodeaux has taken more reps with the second team than the first team, but no matter. He is a key part of the defense and is being used both on the edge and at times in the old Justin Tuck role as an interior pass rusher. Thibodeaux has made impact plays every day against starters and backups. He seems happy, and could be primed for a big season in his contract year.
Abdul Carter — The second-year edge defender has been impactful throughout the first four practices. Of course, Andrew Thomas and the other offensive linemen are not in pads, making it more difficult to block. Carter might not win Defensive Player of the Year, but he does seem primed to make a big leap in Year 2.
Braxton Berrios — The veteran wide receiver/return man keeps showing up as a receiver. He has made a number of catches each day. It is early in camp, but Berrios is showing he can be a useful player.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Vinny Busher looked out at the football field in front of him, a postcard setting backdropped by rolling green mountains and a cloudless blue sky.
"It's gorgeous," he said.
More than eight hours earlier, at 4:30 a.m., Busher left his home in Wappingers Falls, New York, and began the drive to Giants training camp at The Greenbrier resort. Busher, 37, pulled on his Eli Manning jersey and brought his girlfriend, ******* isa Aste, along for the ride, ready to bask in the optimism of coach John Harbaugh's first camp.
"I'm here for the vibes," Aste said.
Unlike Busher, she's not a Giants fan worn down by so much misery over the past 14 years. Still, here she was Thursday, watching the Giants' second camp practice on a perfect, low-humidity West Virginia afternoon. They'd stay the night and drive back in the morning. Weekend commitments awaited.

#Giants #camp #sulphur

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — If the New York Giants get the same Kayvon Thibodeaux this season who showed up the first few days of training camp, he'll force his way onto the field and make himself a lot of money next spring.
Thibodeaux tipped a pass from Jameis Winston in the first practice and intercepted one in the second earlier this week, showing flashes of what made him the fifth pick in the 2022 draft. He has been playing mostly with the second-string defense, given edge rushers Brian Burns and Abdul Carter also being on the roster.
He brushed that off, along with going into a contract year, as any extra fuel. Still, the Giants very well could get a motivated Thibodeaux after no trade materialized for him at or before the draft, and with a potential payday — likely elsewhere — coming for him in free agency next March.
"You just want to be the best player you can be," Thibodeaux said Saturday. "Keep finding ways to help the team. Keep leading."
Thibodeaux is coming off setting career lows with 2 1/2 sacks, 25 tackles and nine quarterback hits, playing in just 10 games before a shoulder injury ended his fourth NFL season. A reduced role on a unit with Burns and Carter didn't help, and he's not sure where he fits now.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The New York Giants will return to the Greenbrier Sports Performance Center practice field for their fourth training camp practice on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ET. This will be an unpadded two-hour workout.
The Giants will get their only off day of their West Virginia trip on Sunday. That will be followed by six straight practices before returning to East Rutherford, N.J.
Be sure to come back after practice for a full report on the day's activities.
A few pre-practice thoughts:
Will Malik Nabers be back to practice? Nabers, coming back from two knee surgeries, was given Friday off after working the first two days.

#practice #greenbrier

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - The New York Giants have taken their training camp on the road for the first time since they were defending Super Bowl champions back in the summer of 2012.
We are with them at the Greenbrier Resort Sports Performance Center to cover it all for NorthJersey.com and The Record.
Here's what we're seeing and hearing as the Harbaugh Era continues:
Biggest thing to see today: how much if anything does Malik Nabers do on the field. Nabers looked great coming off surgery on the first two days in individual drills, and the Giants gave him off on Friday. While that always tends to draw attention, the Giants have a plan for Nabers to get him ready for Sept. 13 against the Cowboys.
Since the Giants have off on Sunday - their only off day in camp here - we should see more of Nabers in front of what should be the largest crowd of camp in excess of 1,500.

The New York Giants took the field Friday for their third training camp practice of 2026 at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
After a closed, 90-minute session on Wednesday that barred live updates and video from the beat writers in attendance, Thursday's open practice brought fans into the mix and extended the workout by 15 minutes.
Day 3 continues the more accessible format and pushes the session length further, now stretching to a full two hours under head coach John Harbaugh as the five-day acclimation period progresses.
Here's a look at the sights and sounds from the Giants' third training camp practice of 2026.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Abdul Carter was dominant, Malik Nabers worked again, Kayvon Thibodeaux made an impact, and fans had fun on a beautiful West Virginia day as the New York Giants held their second practice of training camp.
Here are some of the winners and losers, as well as other takeaways.
Abdul Carter — Carter got the better of Andrew Thomas on Thursday, and let everybody know about it. [More about Carter's big day]
Braxton Berrios — The veteran wide receiver/return man made several catches on Wednesday. He backed that up with another productive day on Thursday. Berrios is making an early impression in the competition for one of the final roster spots.
Dominic Zvada — There were no placekicking sessions in Thursday's workout. On the final play of practice, though, Zvada walked on and drilled a 57-yard field goal after the ball had been clocked by backup quarterback Brandon Allen with :01 left on the clock. Score one for the undrafted free agent in his competition with Ben Sauls.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - Malik Nabers isn't yet declaring himself ready to play on Opening Night against the Dallas Cowboys, a primetime showdown at MetLife Stadium that won't be here for another 45 days.
Those of us watching from the sidelines at The Greenbrier Resort the past two practices of New York Giants' training camp will judge by body language, the smoothness of Nabers' routes and the lack of hesitancy in any of his football movement can and will make our own determinations.
The loudest and most definitive declaration of all: Nabers' smile, flashed several times following Thursday's practice when talking about his long and winding road back to the field, and whether there is any doubt he can be the player he was as a record-setting rookie for the Giants two seasons ago.
His bold answer: Malik Nabers promises to be even better.
"I got extreme confidence in myself," Nabers said. "I'm not going to put myself in any spot that I feel like I'm not going to be better than what I was before. So, I don't see myself being what I was before. What y'all saw my rookie year, I felt like that was basic. I left a lot of stuff on the field [in 2024]. I got high standards for myself. I know everybody has high standards for me, but the standard that I hold myself to is very high."

#nabers #high #going #like

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Malik Nabers insists he does not know what the "PUP" list means — the place where players land if they are physically unable to perform at the start of training camp.
At least this year, he doesn't need to. He's on the field at camp with the New York Giants, and all eyes are on the No. 1 receiver who is starting to regain his previous dynamic form.
Now 10 months removed from tearing the ACL in his right knee and still on a lengthy road back from the injury, Nabers is not yet a full participant in practice. But the Giants' No. 1 receiver is running routes at full speed during individual drills and sparking optimism that he'll be healthy enough to play in a game sooner than later.
"It felt good," Nabers said Thursday after the second practice of camp in the mountains of West Virginia. "I mean, I might not show it. I like to be a person that you never know my facial expressions. I'm always just smooth and calm. But it felt good to be out there with the guys, get a couple throws, just move around."
Nabers, who turned 23 on Tuesday, sounded more hopeful about his future than he did in early January, when he walked with the **** istance of a cane the previous weekend as a precaution and would not commit to being ready for the season opener. Saying at the time, "If my body doesn't feel right, then I'm not going to go out there," he began a period of lingering pessimism that began to fade a bit this week when he did not land on the PUP list and was a visible part of the team.

The New York Giants began their 2026 training camp on Wednesday at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
So, what better way to kick off camp than to play John Denver's 1971 classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads," a song that extols the great state's down-home beauty.
"Thrilled to be here," head coach John Harbaugh told the media after the team's first workout of camp. "The opening song of our meeting today was, of course, (Country Roads). You better believe it. It was great. And a lot of the guys knew the words. I knew the words. So, it was fun to kind of just get here and be a part of it.
"I'm just really appreciative of the people here. How good they've been. I mean, every single person says, 'We appreciate you being here. What can we do for you?' Make you feel welcome."
Denver's iconic song is being played at sporting events across the nation, just like Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" has been for the past decade or so. That is why so many know the words. It's a catchy sing-along number that is filled with Americana that carries a unifying message.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - John Harbaugh is not thinking solely about tomorrow. Or the next day.
Just about everything his New York Giants do on the practice fields and in the meeting rooms here at The Greenbrier Resort has a singular focus: being ready for the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 1 "Sunday Night Football" showdown.
The offseason program was not necessarily about competition, more so technique and ******* ignments.
Training camp is about getting ready for the real thing to the slightest detail in preparation and performance.
"We're chasing execution," Harbaugh said. "We're chasing execution. We're at a stage now, we're getting ready for the games. I mean, that's what practice is for. We're not here to practice. It's not a training camp exercise. We're here to prepare for the games that we're going to play. What plays we call, how we practice, all those things. We're not just running plays out here to run plays. That's why we want to keep our plays to ourselves when we're doing them out here. So, that's what we're evaluating: our execution."

Cooper, a McNeese signee, led the Lady Giants with a 23-5 record and 1.08 earned run average with 332 strikeouts in 175.1 innings pitched. Not only was she one of the state’s most dominant pitchers, but she also batted .344 with five home runs and 30 RBIs.
Tannehill, who enjoyed previous success at LaSalle and Neville, guided the Lady Panthers to the Division III Non-Select ******* le behind a trio of first team all-state players in freshman pitcher Ansley Johnson and senior position players Jaleeyah Alford and Sullivan Cannon. This is Tannehill’s third Coach of the Year honor — winning it in softball with Class 1A LaSalle (2002) and Class 1A football with St. Frederick (2013).
