This autumn marked an important milestone for Turkmenistan — the launch of the nation’s first locally constructed vessel. The dry cargo ship, named Gadamly, has a carrying capacity of 6,100 tons and is designed for container transportation.
According to the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, the ceremony held on November 4 brought together students and lecturers of the “Shipbuilding” specialization from the “Water Transport Operations” department at the Turkmen Institute of Engineering and Transport Communications. Notably, graduates of this institute also contributed directly to the construction process.
The vessel was built at the “Balkan” Shipbuilding and Repair Plant in collaboration with the South Korean company Koryo Shipbuilding Industry Technology Co., Ltd. and Turkmen specialists.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
