The Strait of Hormuz now has three different shipping routes, making shipping more complex.
According to Mars Finance, on June 30th, CNN reported on June 29th that three different shipping routes have emerged in the Strait of Hormuz: The first route is located in the northern part of the strait and is controlled by Iran.

Samsung Electronics' foundry business returned to profitability in June for the first time in three years.
According to Mars Finance, on July 6th, Samsung Electronics' foundry business achieved monthly profitability in June of this year. This is the first time the business has recorded monthly profitability since 2023. Industry insiders believe that increased orders for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) base chips and improved yields in advanced processes reduced fixed costs, driving the recovery in profitability. Based on current trends, Samsung's foundry business is expected to achieve quarterly profitability in the third quarter of this year. Although the overall performance in the second quarter was still dragged down by losses in April and May, making it difficult to determine whether the entire quarter had achieved profitability, with the turnaround in June, Samsung generally believes that the possibility of the company achieving quarterly profitability in the third quarter has significantly increased. Analysts believe that this is the first time Samsung's foundry business has achieved monthly profitability since 2023. In the past few years, this business has been in a state of long-term loss, mainly due to multiple factors including low yields in advanced processes, the loss of large customers, and insufficient capacity utilization.
Serenity focuses on floating AI data centers: Samsung Heavy Industries aims for commercial deployment by 2028, with free seawater cooling to solve power and land bottlenecks.
According to Mars Finance, on July 4th, Serenity stated that floating AI data centers and ocean computing already exist, with their core advantage being significant energy savings through natural seawater cooling. This is particularly beneficial for areas with limited land resources, similar to the concept of "orbital computing." Samsung Heavy Industries plans to launch its first commercial floating AI data center, approximately 50MW, in 2028, while Singapore's Keppel is also advancing a similar project, expected to be operational that same year. Serenity also noted that Microsoft previously explored submerged data centers under Project Natick, but this has since been terminated; this is not the same concept as the currently discussed floating data centers. This addresses two major pain points in AI infrastructure: power and cooling. Furthermore, its modular and mobile characteristics are naturally suited to areas with scarce land.
