Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
More support for freeport
Seafood processors are backing the North East Scotland Green Freeport bid.
The push for an Aberdeen and Peterhead-focused freeport already has high-profile support, including from the Press and Journal.
More than 100 senior industry leaders, academics, politicians and business owners signed a statement backing the bid.
The campaign is expected to deliver a major boost for the seafood sector, if successful.
Strike at Robert Gordon University
Support staff at four Scottish universities are set to strike over pay, a union has announced.
Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Napier and Robert Gordon universities will see Unison members strike over five days.
The BBC says the action will take place from September 19 to 21 and October 3 to 4.
The union said about 1,100 staff would take action including cleaners, library workers, IT support staff and security officers. University lecturers are not involved in the dispute.
Lorcan Mullen, Unison Scotland's head of higher and further education, said current conditions "hurt low-paid staff" at a time when the cost of living was increasing.
He said: "The pay inequalities in this largely publicly-funded sector are obscene."
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association has previously said it had done its best to support staff in very difficult circumstances.
Reducing impact on environment
Scotland's space industry has committed to taking more action to reduce its impact on the environment.
The newly-published Space Sustainability: A Roadmap for Scotland, external sets out plans to use alternatives to toxic fuels and develop reusable rockets.
The report said Scottish-based manufacturers were already working on "green propellants" for powering small rockets into space.
It said Edinburgh-headquartered Skyrora and Forres-based Orbex were repurposing waste from biodiesel production and using non-recyclable plastics to make fuel.
Skyrora is working towards launching satellites from a spaceport in Shetland, and Orbex from one in Sutherland.
The BBC says the roadmap also includes a commitment to reduce space debris - fragments of broken old satellites and rockets.
New director for floating wind project
The consortium behind the Stromar floating wind development off the north-east coast has appointed a new director to head up the project.
Energy Voice says Nicholas Ritchie will lead the 1GW project planned by developers Orsted, Falck Renewables and BlueFloat Energy.
Previously Orsted's head of transmission product line, Mr Ritchie took up the new position at the beginning of September.
Born and raised in Scotland, he has worked around the world in the oil and gas sector for more than 20 years and joined Orsted, then DONG Energy, in 2015. Before joining the Stromar team, he was responsible for Orsted's global engineering portfolio and procurement of offshore transmission systems.
Cyber attack at Intercontinental
Holiday Inn owner Intercontinental Hotels Group has confirmed the company has been hit by a cyber attack.
IHG, which has some of the world's largest hotel chains, issued a statement saying it was investigating "unauthorised access" to a number of its technology systems.
The UK-based company, which manages the Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Regent hotels, said its "booking channels and other applications" had been disrupted since Monday.
"IHG is working to fully restore all systems as soon as possible," the company said.
IHG confirmed it was assessing the nature, extent and impact of the incident and had implemented its response plans including appointing external specialists to investigate the breach.
The BBC says the company is also in the process of notifying regulatory authorities.
Massive fine for e-cigarette firm
Juul Labs will pay £380million to end a probe of its advertising to underage buyers as it rose to be one of the top e-cigarette firms in the US.
The deal with more than 30 states also restricts Juul's marketing, for example barring use of people under the age of 35 in its adverts.
Juul called the settlement "a significant part" of its efforts to resolve "issues from the past".
The firm is also fighting a US ban of its products.
The US Food and Drug Administration in June said it would bar sales of Juul products due to insufficient data about the health impact. The measure is on hold while the company appeals the decision.
The BBC says Juul was widely blamed for the explosive growth in teen vaping. More than a quarter of high schoolers used e-cigarettes in 2019, according to a federal survey, though that share has since subsided.
