Lekki Port And The Lekki Free Trade Zone - Nigeria

Containers are being loaded onto a truck at the Lekki Port in Lagos, Nigeria, on Nov. 30, 2024. The Lekki Port and the Lekki Free Trade Zone are both located in the Lekki Peninsula of Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. The Lekki Port, a commercial cooperation project constructed by China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd., stands as Nigeria's first deep seaport and one of the largest of its kind in West Africa. The port began commercial operations in April 2023, with a designed capacity to handle 1.2 million standard containers annually. The Lekki Free Trade Zone, developed and operated by China Railway Construction Corporation, spans 30 square kilometers. The duo of port and free trade zone gave birth to a synergistic development model, which significantly shortens cargo transport time, boosts Nigeria's foreign trade, and injects new momentum into the local economy.

Futuristic mobility at high-speed maglev research center in N China

STORY: Futuristic mobility at high-speed maglev research center in N China SHOOTING TIME: Recent footage DATELINE: June 7, 2024 LENGTH: 00:01:08 LOCATION: DATONG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the test base 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief designer at ultra-high-speed maglev test base STORYLINE: At a test base in Yanggao County, north China's Shanxi Province, researchers have been in pursuit of a futuristic means of transportation. The ultra-high-speed maglev train under development here is a new transportation system that adopts magnetic levitation technology and uses low-vacuum tubes to travel at an ultra-high speed. Equipped with technologies from both aerospace and rail travel, this maglev line is aiming for speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour. A group of young engineers embarked on the project in 2021. This January, the maglev line achieved stable levitation with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour on a 1.2-kilometer test line. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief d

MIDEAST-JERUSALEM-DEAD SEA-SALT FORMATION

(230621) -- JERUSALEM, June 21, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on June 20, 2023 shows salt formations in the northern part of the Dead Sea about 30 kilometers east of Jerusalem. The Dead Sea depends heavily on inflows from the Jordan River in the north to maintain its water level. In the past decades, farming and mineral extraction in the area are believed to have pulled out more water than can be refilled by natural means, posing ecological threats to the ever-shrinking salt lake. Statistics showed that the dead sea has been shrinking at an alarming pace, dropping by 1.1-1.2 meters each year, and is about half the size it was in 1976. As the water receded, a barren landscape of salt rock and numerous sinkholes appeared. (Photo by Gil Cohen Magen/Xinhua)
