LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fenix Marine Services LTD (“Fenix” or “FMS”), one of the largest terminal facilities at the Port of Los Angeles, today announced that it has used renewable energy credits (RECs) for 100% of the electricity Fenix consumed in 2020.

“As part of our commitment to sustainable industrialization, Fenix has been exploring opportunities to conserve, as well as produce, renewable energy at its Port of Los Angeles Container Terminal for years. This purchase of renewable energy credits marks a significant step towards our goal of becoming carbon neutral and demonstrates our commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable industrialization,” said Jon Slangerup, Fenix Board Member.

Fenix has implemented a number of clean energy initiatives aimed at supporting environmental efficiency. In 2018, Fenix procured 2.4 MW of onsite energy storage, which has helped reduce electricity use by storing power regenerated by Fenix’s electrified ship to shore gantry cranes. In 2019, Fenix kicked off projects to replace all of its power-hungry high-pressure sodium lights for its container yard and quay cranes. Renewable energy is one of many ways Fenix is addressing sustainable industrialization. Fenix has engaged with multiple partners to pilot new engine technologies for its equipment, including hydrogen fuel cell, battery electric and hybrid power systems.

“Through this renewable energy credit purchase, Fenix has further demonstrated its commitment to sustainability, and we are pleased to see their continued efforts to find opportunities to meet our CAAP goals,” said Chris Cannon, Director of Environmental Management at the Port of Los Angeles.

Looking forward, Fenix has partnered with multiple parties to explore further renewable energy storage and production solutions. As equipment fleets transition to zero emissions through either battery electric or hydrogen electric power, a resilient and renewable source of energy on site will become even more critical for the environment, but also for this critical infrastructure.

Purchase of RECs is a waypoint on Fenix’s CSR roadmap linked here. The CSR commitment is structured around three founding principles: Sustainable Industrialization, Progressive People Development, and Business Ethics & Innovation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pawar Law Group announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: NERV) from May 15, 2017 through November 30, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. investors under the federal securities laws.

To join the class action, go here or call Vik Pawar, Esq. toll-free at 888-589-9804 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

According to the lawsuit,  defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: the truth about the feedback received from the FDA concerning the “end-of-Phase 2” meeting; the Phase 2b study did not use the commercial formulation of roluperidone and was conducted solely outside of the United States; the failure of the Phase 3 study to meet its primary and key secondary endpoints rendered that study incapable of supporting substantial evidence of effectiveness; the Company’s plan to use the combination of the Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies would be “highly unlikely” to support the submission of an NDA; reliance on these two trials in the submission of an NDA would lead to “substantial review issues” because the trials were inadequate and not well-controlled; and as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 8, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

No class has been certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you hire one. You may hire counsel of your choice. You may also do nothing at this time and be an absent member of the class. Your ability to share in any future recovery is not dependent upon being a lead plaintiff.
