LOGISTICS

There are strict regulations in the port of Algiers. Breakbulk cargo may not be unloaded – unless a company is able to obtain a special permit.

The local IPSEN LOGISTICS team knows exactly the procedure and what has to be done to ensure that the vessel/cargo must not be diverted to another port - no small matter in view of a two-year logistics contract for a refinery renovation and expansion project. The permit is issued, but there is a restraint: The load has to be transferred immediately, with no form of intermediate storage in the port allowed.The equipment in this contract comes from all over the world, mainly on chartered ships. About 60 % of the cargo is breakbulk cargo (no extraordinary dimensions), the remaining 40 % are heavy lift and oversized cargo. For every incoming vessel, there must be a sufficient number of trucks waiting on the quay in order to ensure that the cargo can be loaded directly onto the vehicles without delay. This means that on any one day a total of up to 40 trailers must be brought in. At night, the cargo is moved in convoy to the customs warehouse, under customs seal and with an escort formed by the police and customs authorities.Nighttime is the only possible time to move cargo out of the port of Algiers, as there is a general ban on trucks moving in the city during the day. The trucks are unloaded immediately afterwards – around the clock. Enough time is consumed already by the cumbersome customs formalities which do not allow clearance before transferring the load.

IPSEN LOGISTICS Algeria is one of the few non-Algerian firms that has been issued with an official customs licence. This is a huge advantage, especially for large projects. After the customs duties have been successfully paid, the delivery to the con-struction site is made. This leg of the route, too, is accompanied by the police. In the past 12 months 30 charter ships carrying a total of 130.000 freight tons have been processed in this manner. Pieces with lengths up to 28 m, widths up to 5.5 m, heights up to 5.68 m and single weights up to 132 t have been handled. Not a single one of the valuable construction parts suffered any damage – a nice success.This new project is one of many – over the last ten years IPSEN LOGISTICS Algeria handled about 50 such undertakings, mainly for the oil and gas industry in the south of the country and essential country-wide infrastructure development projects.

An 80-ton mobile gas turbine power plant has been transported from Abakan to Kaliningrad, Russia, by Volga-Dnepr Airlines. The outsize cargo, carried onboard one of the airline’s AN-124-100 freighters, measured 20 metres in length and more than four metres in height and width. To load the plant, Volga-Dnepr’s experts used a ramp extension so the trailer carrying the gas turbine could be reversed into the freighter aircraft under its own power. This challenging process was managed and closely controlled by the technical crew of the aircraft.

Under the contract, all of the necessary permissions had to be organised to land the ‘Ruslan’ freighter at Khrabrovo Kaliningrad airport. This was the first AN-124-100 flight Volga-Dnepr has operated to Khrabrovo.

The Russian forwarding company Instar Logistics contracted the delivery with Volga-Dnepr on behalf of the JSC Mobile GTES, which is working on the project to modernise Kaliningrad’s energy system. The gas turbine power plant is one of the first being installed in the region and can be used as an auxiliary supply source in emergency situations. The government project was launched after 645,000 residents in 12 districts of Kaliningrad lost their electricity supplies in August.

Newly-established project cargo team completes first successful heavy lift and out-of-gauge shipments connecting the river port of Rostov-on-Don and sea ports of Vladivostok, Novorossiysk & Saint-Petersburg to reach remote inland refineries in the Samara District in Southern Russia, Angarsk in Eastern Siberia, & Usinsk in the Komi Republic

With a dedicated, local team operating out of its Saint-Petersburg office, Damco Russia has executed and delivered its first main heavy lift and out-of-gauge shipments for its Engineering Procurement and

A project shipment of oversized cargo to the same refinery at Angarsk from Vladivostok was also per-formed using rail with customs clearance at Irktusk.

Damco targets Russian federation oil & gas project cargo from Saint-Petersburg to Vladivostok

Construction (EPC) customers to remote oil and gas refineries in several inland destinations in the Russian Federation.

Using local partners for rail and road legs, some covering up to 6000 km through mountainous and af-forested terrain, multiple shipments of oversized reactors, condensers and

absorbers of up to 76 tons per unit have been cleared, shipped, trans-shipped and delivered to oil and refinery plants.“Getting such complex import shipments through quickly in this market requires our local knowledgeable customer services team to handle customs clearance and documentation processes,” comments Maxim Buldakov, Damco’s Director for Industrial & Project Logistics. “We also have a mobile operations supervisor for the shipment surveys, inspections and quality control to get the job done. We can cover the entire Russian Federation for such projects by deploying the right people.”

Van der Vlist’s experts were tested recently with a project from Odense and Herning, taking components for a biomass fuelled heating plant in Purmerend, North Holland.

In total the project required 8 of these components to be delivered at the biomass plant, nicknamed ‘The Purmer’. Weighing between 47 and 58 tonnes each, and measuring between 12.1 and 12.4 m long, 3.7 to 3.78m wide and 3.92 to 4.1 metres high, Van der Vlist used their modular vessel bridge trailers for the movements. Moving 2 of these each week, they encountered a problem on route, as the Rader Hochbrüche bridge on the A7 from Denmark to Germany was closed, only allowing vehicles with a maximum weight of 7.5 tonnes to pass across. The knowledge and experience of the Van der Vlist staff meant that together with their client, they were able to resolve the situation by shipping Ro-Ro from Esbjerg to Amsterdam, and keep the deliveries perfectly on time.

Having unloaded the first few themselves for storage on site, as the final few were delivered a crane was brought in, to place the components directly into the plant, where they could get up and running, to help generate power.

The transport was completed with Vamdrup Special Transport (VST), a company based in Denmark who specialise in truck mounted cranes. VST managed the transports in co-operation with Van der Vlist, who had the capacity to make the full delivery. VST was founded in 1982 by Jørgen Egeskov, and now employs 35 staff.

GAC operation to off-land, float and transport 14268 MT-tonne rig to Kakinada for drilling operations

Sri Lanka,– GAC Sri Lanka has completed the movement of offshore drilling rig Hercules Triumph from the port of Trincomalee to India. The rig, owned by Hercules Offshore, Inc., USA, is now safely anchored at Kakinada, ready to start drilling operations for CAIRN Energy at the RAVVA offshore oil field.

GAC Sri Lanka, part of global shipping, logistics and marine services provider GAC Group, chartered three anchor-handling tug boats - SCI URJA, SCI Ahimsa and Mahaweli - to off-land the Hercules Triumph from heavy-lift vessel Target at Trincomalee Anchorage and worked in close liaison with the Harbour Master and port officials throughout the complex operation. GAC also provided a range of port services including using its own fleet of supply boats for the transfer of crew and other personnel to and from the rig. Further, GAC Sri Lanka supplied provisions, stores, fresh water and bunker fuels to the rig and anchor-handling tugs.

As part of its task to oversee the entire project, GAC Sri Lanka was also responsible for domestic air transfers of Hercules Offshore officials to and from the site.

After four days of servicing at Trincomalee, the Hercules Triumph was then towed by two tugs, the SCI URJA and the SCI Ahimsa, over 700 NM miles to Kakinada, arriving 8 days later.Mr. Preethilal Fernando, Director and CEO of GAC Sri Lanka, says: “GAC has long been a pioneering company in the oil and gas support services industry and this is another milestone in rig operations in Sri Lanka. The Port of Trincomalee is perfectly suited to this type of operation as it can accommodate vessels with a very deep draft, which is critical for off-landing and floating of rigs.“This was a complex operation and we have worked very closely with Hercules Offshore throughout the process, which has been a great success. We are very proud that Hercules Offshore entrusted GAC with the movement of the Hercules Triumph, which is now in location in the Indian Ocean and ready for operations again.”As one of the world’s leading shipping, logistics and marine services providers, GAC Group has a strong presence across the oil & gas sectors worldwide, providing a wide range of offshore support services for exploration, construction and production through to decommissioning of rigs, as well as a range of support services including ship supply, bunkering and crew travel services.

The Mv Daniella has recently undertaken the transportation of, in total, 4 cranes. Operations commenced in Rostock, Germany with the loading of three Liebherr LHM 550 cranes, each weighing 440t. From there the Daniella sailed to Antwerp, Belgium, where one of the cranes was exchanged for a LHM 500, weighing 398t. From there she set sail for Equatorial Guinea, where the cranes were discharged in the ports of Batam and Malabo. The Daniella was selected for the operation due to her versatility and cost efficiency.

The cranes, each with a footprint of approximately 22m had to be placed on-board a single vessel 98m LOA, with deck space of 71m. Each of the cranes was lifted on-board using the Daniella’s dual mast cranes and then driven into stowage position once on deck. The challenge was to position the cranes in such a way that the jibs, each of which was 58m in length, did not come into contact with each other. To prepare for this

Liebherr and Jumbo co-operated very closely from the outset.

Once on-board wooden supports were placed underneath the cranes’ outriggers to provide a foothold and containers were used as stanchions for the jibs.

Jumbo’s Enquiry Engineer, Coen de Rooij, who was present in Rostock and Antwerp said, “The close com-munications between Liebherr and ourselves ensured we had all the information we needed to plan the operation in great detail so that, when loading began, we were fully prepared and everything went smoothly.”

The Daniella arrived in Equatorial Guinea on the 4th October and discharged all cargo at both destinations by the 11th.

Coordinadora Internacional’s have just completed the transport of a 918 Mt cracking reactor from Japan to Turkey.Arancha Ruiz from Coordinadora Internacional explains; “Within the framework of the Tüpras Project, COORDINADORA carried out the transport of a 918 Mt cracking reactor of 34.89 x 7.95 x 8.55 m from Muroran (Japan) to the Tüpras Refinery in Izmit (Turkey) and it was the heaviest item ever handled. Due to its outstanding weight, the port of destination had to be checked to ensure that the terminal was strong enough to bear such a load on it. The unit was loaded in Japan together with another 7 large reactors with weights ranging from 500 to 700 Mt. Since the road transportation from the port of Derince to the job-site was absolutely unfeasible, a local flat pontoon was chartered to bridge the gap through a Ro/Ro operation. The destination quay was damaged by the famous earthquake that happened in Turkey some years ago and so it had to be reinforced in accordance with COORDINADORA’s calculations. Additionally, due to the same reasons, it was not possible to touch the first 5 meters from the quay edge, so our own Engineering Department designed and built a special Ro/Ro steel

ramp of 12 m length and more than 1.000 Mt bearing capacity. The cargo was loaded directly from vessel onto a 20 double axles SPMT platform. Then, this vehicle was loaded on the barge and the cargo was properly lashed. All the complicated ballasting procedure was calculated and managed on site by COORDINADORA. Given that the cargo had to be stored onto stools and the saddles provided by vendor that were not wide enough for that purpose, special transportation beams were also designed by our own engineers.”

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has chosen SITA’s next generation Airport Management System to transform operations at ten airports across India, enhancing the passenger journey for 42 million passengers. The seven-year, multi-million dollar deal is part of a US$130 billion airport modernization project from the Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation. It comes as India prepares for annual passenger numbers to triple to 450 million by 2020.

SITA has partnered with NIIT Technologies Ltd. for this first multi-airport project in Asia to implement Airport Operations Control Centers (AOCC).

V. P. Agrawal, Chairman, AAI in his message to the Aviation ICT Forum 2013 said that AAI is integrating and automating airport operations at 10 of its airports including Chennai and Kolkata in technology partnership with M/s. NIIT Technologies Ltd, who will in turn implement M/s. SITA’s solution for central AODB and AMS. Once implemented successfully, it will help implement Airport Collaborative Decision Making (ACDM) which will greatly enhance both capacity and efficiency of the airport operations thereby making them more cost effective.

G. K. Chaukiyal, Member (Operations), AAI said in his statement that in addition to Airport Operations Com-mand and Control (AOCC), AAI is implementing Common User Terminal Equipment (CUTE) and Baggage Reconciliation System (BRS) at 38 airports in partnership with SITA.

Hani El-Assaad, SITA President Middle East, India & Africa, said: “We have long history with India. With this new deal, SITA is now at the heart of operations at 41 of the country’s 43 passenger airports. SITA’s new system will help the airport authority create an integrated and cost-effective framework for its operations across 10 more airports. It will also facilitate collaborative decision making among all stakeholders, while streamlining business processes and enhancing the passenger experience.”

Arvind Mehrotra, President Asia & Australia, NIIT Technologies said, “NIIT Technologies has vast

experience and solutions implemented across 12 airports globally. We will be leveraging our expertise in the implementation of AOCC which will allow collaborative decision making for all the Airport operators in the day-to-day operations and enable efficient utilization of airport infrastructure at the 10 airports in respective cities.”At the core of the new system is the Authority’s airport command and control center, which monitors and controls operations at all ten airports in real-time. It enables the airports and their stakeholders - including airlines, customs, immigration and ground handlers - to collaborate around the same real-time information and make fully-informed decisions on resources and other issues. For example, during peak vacation periods, if queues at check-in and security grow too long, the airport can work with its partners to add more staff and reduce wait times.

As passenger traffic continues to grow, SITA’s AirportResource Manager will help the airport authority manage and deploy staff and equipment in real time. Using this powerful planning and scheduling tool, both the central command center and the individual airports can respond to changing situations, improving the passenger experience. They can accommodate large numbers of passengers, seasonal fluctuations and disruptions by allocating staff and fixed airport resources, including departure gates, baggage carousels and check-in desks, as needed. The technology will also be of major benefit during periods of disruption. If bad weather delays inbound and outbound flights, the airport can work with its partners to change departure and arrival gates and quickly deploy more staff to the gates. It can also immediately add more immigration officials and ground handlers to speed passengers’ journeys through the airport.This new deal with the AAI marks the first deployment of SITA’s next generation airport management system in the country. The 10 airports that will benefit from SITA’s next generation Airport Management System are Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Calicut, Jaipur, Mangalore, Pune, Trichy, Trivandrum and Guwahati Airports.

Swissport International Ltd., largest provider of ground and cargo services to the aviation sector, announces that in court ruling (02 October) the Highest Economic Court in Kiev decided to cancel all decisions taken by the first two court instances and to redirect the case to the first instance for review. The legal basis on which UIA (Ukraine International Airlines) tried to justify its new full ownership in the ground handling entity was declared null and void. The court ruling cre-ates a new starting point from which Swissport is expecting to get its majority ownership of the former “Swissport Ukraine” (now firming as “Interavia”) and the respective shares back. Swissport is open for an amicable solution and looking forward to discuss further steps with the airlines´ representatives. Swissport also feels encouraged about this signal of the Ukraine, moving into the right direction and not only verbally distancing from unlawful behaviours. In yesterday´s court hearing the Highest Economic Court in the Ukraine has decided the court rulings of the Kyiv City Economic Court and Kyiv Economic Court of Appeal as null and void and redirected the case back to the first instance for reconsideration. With this ruling the basis on which UIA tried to take over full ownership of Swissport Ukraine (now Interavia) end of March has been declared invalid, and Swissport is expecting the new situation to lead to a reverse transfer of its owner-ship of 70.6% of the shares in former Swissport Ukraine.

Swissport is confident that the Anti-Raider-Commission initiated by the Government of the Ukraine will now start to continuously and closely monitor the review process and the reverse transaction processes as well as the re-versal of the unjustified capital increase UIA undertook with the aim to dilute Swissport. The Commission just recently has started to observe and investigate on several hostile takeovers in the Ukraine - among them Swissport - and announced it will support in protecting foreign investments and unfairly treated companies in getting back their business through a fair and lawful process. Swissport is counting on this necessary support for the next procedures.

Mark Skinner, SVP Ground Handling Northern Europe & North Africa states: “We have been very concerned over the last months, but were always convinced that the law and right are on our side. The endorsement of

the Highest Economic Court is an important step and encouragement not only for Swissport but for all foreign investors that are, or want to be active in the Ukraine. We are confident that the latest developments in the Ukraine, initiated by the Government and the Highest Economic Court of the Ukraine, are a good first step and now ad-vancing into the right direction.”

Swissport in a next step will invite UIA to an open roundtable discussion. Mark Skinner: “We are open to find an amicable solution with UIA, as it was our intention from the beginning, and will drive things forward. This would help the company to concentrate on delivering high quality operations and services to the benefit of its customers.”

The court case of Swissport in the Ukraine including yesterdays´ court ruling is continuously backed by the Swiss and French Embassies in the Ukraine. Their continuous support in addition to the expected on-going support of the Anti-Raider-Commission is invaluable. The issue also reached the attention of the European Commission and its delegates, who will continue to follow the case closely and will appreciate the latest developments and right steps towards effective protection of foreign investment.

Swissport International Ltd. provides ground services for around 118 million passengers and 3.5 million tonnes of cargo a year on behalf of some 650 client-companies in the aviation sector. With a workforce of around 40,000 personnel, Swissport is active at 181 stations in 37 countries on five continents, and generates annual consolidated operating revenue of CHF 1.9 billion.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) continued to record increases in passenger volume and flight movements in September 2013. Passenger throughput grew markedly by 9.3% over the same month last year, reaching 4.8 million, while flight movements saw a year-on-year growth of 5.5% to 30,440. Cargo volume reported a modest decline of 0.8% to 344,000 tonnes.

The growth in passenger traffic in September was mainly driven by visitor traffic, which registered an increase of 12% over the same month last year. Passenger traffic to and from South East Asia and Mainland China outper-formed other key regions.

The decline in cargo throughput last month was mainly attributed to a 3% year-on-year drop in imports. Exports recorded a slight decline, while transshipments registered a 1% increase compared to the same month last year.

Stanley Hui Hon-chung, Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, “Complementing the steady upward trend in air passengers and flight movements, cross-boundary transport at HKIA also served a significant number of visitors during the National Day Golden Week earlier this month. Cross-boundary limousine and coach passengers to and

from the Pearl River Delta set a new daily record of around 10,500 on 7 October. Furthermore, over 50,000 passengers used our SkyPier ferry services during the first seven days of the month, which is a reflection of the increasing importance of HKIA as a gateway to the Pearl River Delta.

“According to HKIA’s winter flight schedule, which commences at the end of October, the airport will soon be handling around 1,068 scheduled flights daily. Working closely in concert with government departments and business partners, I am confident HKIA can maintain the highest standards of safety, efficiency and service quality while serving greater number of travellers than ever before,” Mr Hui added.

For the first three quarters of 2013, HKIA handled 44.8 million passengers, 3 million tonnes of cargo and 275,645 flight movements, representing year-on-year increases of 6%, 1.7% and 5.6% respectively.

On a rolling 12-month basis, passenger volume at the airport rose 5.4% yearly to 59 million. Cargo tonnage grew 2.8% to 4.1 million tonnes, while flight movements went up 5.6% to 366,195 over the same period last year.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has announced the Scottish Government is entering into talks to safeguard around 1,400 jobs by bringing Prestwick Airport into public ownership. Prestwick Airport has been on the market since March 2012. The Scottish Government, in partnership with Scottish Enterprise and South Ayrshire Council, has been working with current

owners Infratil to help find a private buyer. Despite those efforts and interest from potential investors, the process has now reached a point where it’s clear that no private buyer will be able to take the purchase forward in an acceptable timescale to the current owner. Ms Sturgeon said: “Prestwick Airport’s importance to the local Ayrshire and wider Scottish economy cannot be overstated – and it is vital that all efforts are made to keep the airport open. “Around 300 people depend directly on the airport for employment and, in total, there are around 1,400 people whose jobs depend on or are associated with the airport. Unemployment in Ayrshire is already above the Scottish average and the loss of Prestwick Airport would exacerbate this situation. “Taking account of the aerospace cluster at Prestwick, there are a total of 3,200 jobs directly or indirectly associated with the airport. Whilst the aerospace jobs are not directly dependent on the airport, it acts as an anchor for these businesses. It is undoubtedly the case that this important part of the Ayrshire economy would be less secure in the future without the continued operation of Prestwick Airport. “Prestwick also has important resilience capabilities that provide alternative options to Glasgow and Edinburgh in the event of severe weather conditions. “Today, I am announcing that the Scottish Government has advised the current owners Infratil of our intention to commence a process towards acquisition of Prestwick Airport. “Over the next few weeks we will focus on due diligence, legal and commercial issues around public ownership and the development of a business plan that willallow Prestwick to thrive once again. I want to stress to staff and passengers booked to fly from Prestwick that in the meantime it is business as usual at the airport. The airport is, and will continue to be, open for business. “Once a transaction has been completed, I will make a further statement to Parliament. “With perseverance, patience and innovative thinking Prestwick can have a positive future as part of the wider Scottish aviation industry.” Ministers are entering into negotiations with Infratil over the potential acquisition of Prestwick Aviation Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, subject to the completion of due diligence and the appropriate legal processes. During that process, Infratil would continue to operate the airport as a going concern to maintain its assets and keep it open for business. Leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Bill McIntosh said: “South Ayrshire Council warmly welcomes the announcement today from the Deputy First Minister. “Prestwick Airport and the engineering jobs that it supports are hugely important for Ayrshire and for Scotland as a whole. “We look forward to working closely with the Scottish Government to ensure a long- term future for Prestwick Airport that builds on the substantial contribution it already makes to the Scottish economy.” Marko Bogoievski, Chief Executive Officer at Infratil said: “In March 2012 Infratil announced its intention to sell its two UK airports, Glasgow Prestwick Airport and Manston Kent Airport as part of a process to refocus its investment profile. “Recognising the importance of the airports to their local communities, Infratil’s preference has been to secure a new owner with the capacity to support their future success. “We believe that a Scottish Government acquisition of Glasgow Prestwick Airport achieves that objective and will work proactively with the Scottish Government over the next six weeks towards achieving completion of a transaction.” Adrian Gillespie, managing director of operations at Scottish Enterprise said: “Prestwick Airport is a vital part of both the local economy in Ayrshire and the wider Scottish economy, supporting a high number of jobs and businesses. “We are committed to working closely with our partners to achieve a sustainable future for both the airport and all it delivers for our economy and our communities.”

Shipping lines join the port of Rotterdam’s hinterland platform en masse It is estimated that 25% (2.5 million TEU) of all containers shipped by road, rail or inland shipping are empty. The ‘transport of air’ is not only expensive and inefficient, it also impacts the environment more than necessary. InlandLinks, the port of Rotterdam’s online intermodal platform, has developed an application to substantially reduce the transport of empty containers. This is a real breakthrough in terms of efficiency and sustainability for the entire logistical chain. This new ‘empty depot tool’ was festively launched at Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid today. Hans Smits, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, and all of the Shipping lines involved were present.

Empty depot toolThe online application, called ‘empty depot tool’, shows, per connected shipping company, the inland terminals where shippers and logistical service providers can pick up and deposit empty containers, and later reuse these containers for a new load. As a result, it is no longer necessary to always return the empty containers to Rotterdam. This is a logical choice, all the more so because the containers regularly return empty to a shipper in the hinterland for the next freight. This saves a

great many unnecessary kilometres, which leads to lower costs and lower CO2 emissions. There is a lot of confidence in the new application, as demonstrated by the large number of Shipping lines that have already joined the platform. InlandLinks enables the Shipping lines to give shippers and freight forwarders more insight into their intermodal services to and from Rotterdam’s hinterland. Hans Smits comments: ‘By strongly investing in the optimisation of the logistical chains, we strengthen our position as the largest port in Europe. Improving efficiency for our clients and the entire chain is therefore an important part of our mission. Moreover,

good, reliable connections with our hinterland network are a spearhead with which Rotterdam distinguishes itself from other ports. The new application InlandLinks developed innovatively unites these two points.’

Collaboration with market partiesThe InlandLinks platform, which was formed in 2011, was the first to chart all of the hinterland terminals in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other European countries based on various criteria. Earlier this year, the service was expanded to include an online intermodal route planner, which website visitors can use to map out the most sustainable and efficient shipping route to and from Rotterdam using inland shipping or rail con-nections. Donald Baan, project manager at InlandLinks, comments: ‘The new application is the third big step in the on-going optimisation of the entire logistical chain. From the very start we listened to the needs of all market parties, from shippers to inland terminals, Shipping lines and logistical service providers. In collaboration with these parties, we developed the empty depot tool, and the positive cooperation has allowed us to grow into an international platform of this size.’

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (Pres. Takao Tanaka) has received an order for two automated container cranes for railroad terminal from TraPac, Inc. which is Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.’s U.S. affiliated company, through MES’s U.S. affiliated company, PACECO Corp.

At the container terminal that TraPac Inc. operates in Port of Los Angeles, is now being constructed for extension and alongside that, the automation of container handling equipments is being carried on as well. The automated container crane that MES has received this time is going to be located at the railroad terminal in the same container terminal. The new crane can load and discharge containers that have been delivered by automated carrier vehicle on the railroad wagon from the quay under the crane. The crane’s loading operation will be carried out automatically from the host system’s commands

and can be remotely controlled by looking at the TV camera monitor if necessary.

Ever since the 1990’s, many automated container terminals have been built globally but TraPac in Port of Los Angeles will be the first terminal in the U.S.’ west coast. By deploying this crane; from the quay under the crane to the railroad yard, MES anticipate to make contribution in constructing a consistent automated system.

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. has delivered in 1997, the world’s first automated container overhead bridge crane in the Port of Singapore, and in 2005, it has delivered container terminal management system in Nagoya, which is indispensable in improving efficiency of handling operation. Thus, MES are providing hardware and software but also a container terminal’s total system company that includes after service.source: mes.com

The port of Antwerp handled a freight volume of 143,015,226 tonnes in the first nine months of this year, 3.0% more than in the same period last year. Liquid bulk once again produced good growth figures, helping to push the overall volume higher.

Liquid bulkThe volume of liquid bulk handled during the past three quarters rose by 32.0% to 44,472,343 tonnes. Oil derivatives stood at 32,211,312 tonnes by the end of September, representing growth of 36.7%. Chemicals (up 9.2% to 8,467,896 tonnes) and crude oil (up 71.4% to 3,481,679 tonnes) completed the impressive series of results in the liquid bulk segment.

Dry bulkThe dry bulk volume by contrast was down by 25.6% to 10,941,785 tonnes, due mainly to reduced coal imports. 57.4% less coal was handled in the period from January to September. The main reason for this decrease lay in the rail freight rates to the German hinterland, making the rates offered in Antwerp less competitive than in some neighbouring ports.The Port Authority in collaboration with a number of private-sector players is making strenuous efforts to close this gap. Containers and breakbulkThe container segment showed a slight decline, both in

tonnage and in TEU (standard containers: twenty-foot equivalent units). The number of handled containers (TEU) fell by 1.7% and ended up at 6,404,791 TEU. In tonnage there is a decline of 2.8%, totalling 76,508,857 tonnes in the first nine months.The ro/ro volume was also down, decreasing by 5.3% to 3,406,385 tonnes. On the other hand the number of cars handled was up by 5.5%, to 969,105. During the past nine months 26.2% more cars were imported than in the same period last year. Conventional breakbulk also declined, down 6.0% in the first three quarters to 7,685,856 tonnes. Apart from steel, which showed a dip of 9.1% to 4,653,763 tonnes, the other breakbulk categories remained fairly stable in volume.

Seagoing ships and prospects

During the first nine months 2.4% fewer seagoing ships called at the port of Antwerp than in the same period last year, with the number down to 10,769. On the other hand the total tonnage was up by 3.4% to 246,890,887 GT. These figures reflect the trend for fewer but more heavily laden ships visiting the port.

Antwerp once more demonstrated that it has all the capabilities needed to handle even the very largest ships without problem when the 18,000 TEU Mary Maersk berthed here on Saturday 19 October. This vessel, in the class of the largest container carriers in the world, entered the port of Antwerp smoothly without problem on its trial visit. Simulations by the Hydrological Laboratory in Borgerhout had previously demonstrated that such ships are able to call at Antwerp, and the arrival of the Mary Maersk proved this irrefutably.

In the meantime the alliance of the three largest container shipping companies in the world, the P3 Network (Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM), has opted favourably for Antwerp. The port has gained a call from the Far East, while the number of calls on the trans-Atlantic route is being maintained. This definite choice in favour of Antwerp is a clear expression of confidence in the advantages offered by the port, and will result in even more calls by vessels of 13,000 TEU and over.

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has successfully completed the engineering of boom extensions on two ship-to-shore (STS) cranes operated by Terminales Rio de la Plata (TRP) at the Port of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The project, awarded to Kalmar in January 2013, took just seven months to complete, with both cranes returned to full operation in August, well within the original year-end target. The project is a further demonstration of Kalmar’s ability to undertake highly complex engineering procedure for any brand of STS crane.

TRP, a DP World Container Terminal business, currently handles 800,000 TEU annually. It is now gearing up for the arrival of substantially larger container vessels, some with capacities of up to 18,000 TEU. This required the STS crane boom geometry to be adapted and extended from 45 metres to 51 metres.

Kalmar provided a turnkey operation, starting with planning of detail engineering to the critical technical specifications. Kalmar’s specialist crane services team in Argentina also coordinated the subcontracting and quality inspections of the entire production and assembly procedures. The process required the decommissioning of cranes in their original location and their transportation to a separate construction site where the trolley and gantry components were removed, allowing the boom to be disassembled.

Extension of the boom was then undertaken at ground level which involved the welding of new interfaces, magnetic particle testing and ultrasonic testing inspections to confirm structural integrity and, finally, the reassembly of all the components before relocating the crane to its original quay position.

Eugenio Calcabrini, TRP Engineering Manager, was full of praise for the Kalmar team.

“STS boom extensions are complex projects, demanding the highest levels of technical expertise and team work. Kalmar demonstrated their ability to handle such a complex project efficiently. Increasing operational throughput is critical to us. Raising the capacity of existing cranes, together with safely extending their working life, provides an excellent solution and return on the investment.

“Being a manufacturer, Kalmar demonstrates an excellent understanding of the critical technical considerations and can therefore deliver a really effective solution in the minimum time frame. We are extremely satisfied with Kalmar’s service,” he added.

“This project was very critical for us, and we are happy that we were able to meet our customer’s requirements,” said Marcelo Massa, Managing Director of Cargotec Argentina. “Kalmar’s strategic intent is to become a major global refurbishment and services provider. Success in this project demonstrates our capability to deliver upgrade, modernisation and refurbishment projects and engineering consultancy for customers now also in Latin America,” he concluded.

Rolls-Royce has congratulated Sanmar Shipyard for the completion of the world’s first gas powered tug, in a ceremony in Istanbul, Turkey, this weekend. Sanmar has completed the first of two tugs for Norwegian customer Buksér og Berging, which each feature two Rolls-Royce Bergen C26:33L6PG engines fueled purely by liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The first boat, named Borgøy, will enter service next month following a series of sea trials. It will be operated by Norwegian state oil company Statoil at its Kårstø gas terminal.

The Rolls-Royce propulsion package includes the gas tank and supply system and two of the latest design US35 azimuth thrusters that ensure the tugs have rapid manoeuvring and positioning capabilities - essential for tug operation.

Neil Gilliver, Rolls-Royce, President - Merchant, said: “The completion of this vessel is highly significant for Rolls-Royce, Sanmar Shipyard and Buksér og Berging. We are extremely proud to have worked together on this successful project which heralds a new era for tug boat

propulsion.

“Gas is gaining in popularity as a maritime fuel, and its environmental credentials, combined with lower costs are seeing many operators select it over traditional fuels, across a range of ship types.

“Most of the world’s tug fleets operate close to shore, where emissions regulations are most stringent. As LNG becomes more widely available, I have no doubt that many major ports will soon opt for this clean, lower cost and smoke-free fuel to power their tugs.”

The combination of Rolls-Royce gas engines and the latest thruster design, mean that the Borgøy and its sister vessel’s CO2 emissions, will be around 30 per cent lower than conventionally-fuelled tugs. They will also comply with all known future emission regulations.

Rolls-Royce Bergen engines are the leading pure gas, medium speed engines in the marine market. The com-pany is also world leader in the supply of azimuth thrusters for tugs.

Wärtsilä, the marine industry’s leading solu-tions and services provider, has been contracted to retrofit its Open Loop Scrubber systems on three additional vessels owned by Color Line, Norway’s largest cruise and ferry operator. This confirms Wärtsilä’s leading position in the scrubber market with 36 shipsets, totalling 75 scrubber units, either already installed or in the pipeline.

Each vessel will be fitted with four systems designed to rid the ships’ exhaust gases of harmful sulphur oxide (SOx) and particulate emissions. The Wärtsilä systems will enable the vessels to comply with current and anticipated environmental legislation, and to operate without restrictions in Emissions Control Areas (ECAs).

The contract was signed in September 2013 and it follows a similar order placed in June 2013 to retrofit Color Line’s SuperSpeed II ferry. The new contract covers the company’s SuperSpeed I, Color Magic and Color Fantasy ships. SuperSpeed I sails between Norway and Denmark, while the other two vessels link Oslo, Norway with Kiel, Germany.

“Color Line sees environmental issues as a priority and the use of Wärtsilä exhaust gas cleaning systems on another three of our vessels is a significant step towards our goals in this respect. The marine sector is obligated to operate in a more sustainable manner and we applaud Wärtsilä for its leadership in environmental performance enhancing technologies,” says Mr Jan Helge Pile, SVP Marine & Technical, Color Line Marine A/S.

“Wärtsilä continues to demonstrate its leadership in the delivery of innovative technologies that enable ship owners and

operators to meet the dual challenges of environmental compliance and rising operating costs. Our exhaust cleaning systems are one of the increasingly important elements of this strategy, offering an efficient and cost-effective alternative to low- sulphur fuel,” says Mr Sigurd Jenssen, Director, Exhaust Gas Cleaning, Environmental Solutions, Wärtsilä Ship Power.In addition to the equipment delivery, Wärtsilä has also assumed responsibility for the basic and detailed engineering and for the installation supervision.

“We see an increasing interest in our capability to supply turnkey installations,” says Mr Leonardo Sonzio, Director, Retrofit, Envi-ronmental Solutions, Wärtsilä Ship Power. “By working in close co-operation with the customer, Wärtsilä can develop tailored retrofit turnkey solutions that span the entire project, from the very first enquiry until the system is successfully delivered and installed.

In addition to the Exhaust Gas Cleaning System retrofit projects, Wärtsilä also offers complete services for retrofitting Ballast Water Management Systems.”

The Wärtsilä Open Loop Scrubber SystemThe system operates in an open loop using seawater to remove SOx from the exhaust. Exhaust gas enters the system and is sprayed with seawater in three different stages. The sulphur oxides in the exhaust react with the water to form sulphuric acid. Chemicals are not required since the natural alkalinity of seawater neutralizes the acid.

Wash water from the system is treated and monitored at the inlet and outlet to ensure that it conforms to all applicable discharge criteria. It can then be discharged into the sea with no risk of harm to the environment.

35th Consultative Meeting of Contracting Parties to the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, 1972 (London Convention) 8th meeting of Contracting Parties to the 1996 Protocol thereto (London Protocol)

Marine geoengineering, including ocean fertilization, will be regulated under amendments to the 1996 Protocol to the international treaty which regulates the dumping of wastes and other matter at sea. The amendments, adopted on Friday (18 October) by Parties to the 1996 Protocol to the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, 1972, add a new article 6bis which states that “Contracting Parties shall not allow the placement of matter into the sea from vessels, aircraft, platforms or other man-made structures at sea for marine geoengineering activities listed in Annex 4, unless the listing provides that the activity or the sub-category of an activity may be authorized under a permit”. Marine geoengineering is defined as “a deliberate intervention in the marine environment to manipulate natural processes, including to counteract anthropogenic climate change and/or its impacts, and that has the potential to result in deleterious effects, especially where those effects may be widespread, long-lasting or severe”. A new Annex 4 on “Marine geoengineering” lists “Ocean fertilization”, defined as “any activity undertaken by humans with the principal intention of stimulating primary produc-tivity in the oceans. Ocean fertilization does not include conventional aquaculture, or mariculture, or the creation of artificial reefs.” The Annex provides that all ocean fertilization activities other than those referred to above shall not be permitted.An ocean fertilization activity may only be considered for a permit if it is assessed as constituting legitimate scientific

research taking into account any specific placement assessment framework. A new annex V adds the Assessment Framework for matter that may be considered for placement under Annex 4. The Assessment framework provides that Contracting Parties should consider any advice on proposals for activities listed from independent international experts or an independent international advisory group of experts. The amendments will enter into force 60 days after two thirds of the Contracting Parties have deposited an instrument of acceptance of the amendment with IMO. (The London Protocol currently has 43 Parties.)Mr. Stefan Micallef, Director, Marine Environment Division, International Maritime Organization (IMO) commended the adoption of the amendment to regulate the placement of matter for ocean fertilization and other marine geoengineering activities. “This is a true testament to the fact that the London Protocol continues to be among the most advanced international regulatory instruments addressing human activities in the marine environment and there is no doubt that this much-awaited amendment will be appreciated by other international bodies. The amendment also reflects the scientific-based approach of the London Convention and its 1996 Protocol,” Mr. Micallef said. Representatives of the Contracting Parties to the Conven-tion on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, 1972 (London Convention) and to the 1996 Protocol thereto (London Protocol), were in London for their 35th/8th meeting, held from 14 to 18 October at the Headquarters of IMO, which hosts the Office for the London Convention and Protocol.

Yara and Wilhelmsen Maritime Services (WMS) have entered into a new collaborative agreement on emissions to air in the marine sector. The agreement establishes direct collaboration and enables both companies to focus on core strengths in reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions to air from commercial vessels.

This agreement provides for Yara to take over ownership of Yarwil’s NOx abatement technology, for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), and further develop it for use in the marine emissions to air market. Wilhelmsen Maritime Services will continue as a distributor in the maritime market.

Successful business in growing market“The market for this environmental technology is rapidly increasing and we expect to see a steady growth with adoption of such systems by commercial vessels. We look forward to continuing in a more direct way our close cooperation with Wilhelmsen with regards to the nitrogen chemistry and technology for maritime emissions abatement,” said Yves Bonte, Head of Yara’s Industrial segment.

Dag Schjerven, president and CEO of Wilhelmsen Maritime Services explained the background for the new

collaboration: “Yarwil and the NOxCare Marine solution have been successful, but the competitive environment in their main markets has gotten steadily tougher, putting increasing pressure on prices and profitability. A leaner supply model is therefore needed to counter this development.”

Further developmentA lean and cost efficient global sales and distribution organization will be established, building on Yara’s existing sales and supply structure and utilizing Wilhelmsen Maritime Services’ worldwide network. Furthermore, Yara will acquire the sulfur oxides (SOx) scrubber development project from Maritime Protection, recently acquired by Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions. A commercial agreement will be established, securing Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions the right to sell the technology when it has become commercially available.

WMS and Yara entered the market in 2007 with the Yarwil joint venture, offering NOx abatement solutions under the NOxCare brand. Yarwil and its employees will be transferred to the two parent companies respectively.

SEA TRANSPORTHyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI), a shipbuilding affiliate of Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s biggest shipbuilder, announced today it successfully launched a 162,000 m3 LNG carrier built using the on-ground shipbuilding method for the first time in the world.

The vessel, designed for delivering chilled natural gas, was ordered by Golar of Norway in February, 2012. It, measurings 289.0 m in length, 45.6 m in width, and 26.0 m in depth, is scheduled to be handed

over to the owner by late July 2014 after outfitting and paint-ing work.

After about 270 large blocks, LNG containment system, an engine, a propeller are manufactured and assembled in the on-land shipbuilding area equipped with a 1,200-tonne gan-try crane, four jib cranes and a floating dock, the assembled LNG carrier is loaded out onto a floating dock by hydraulic skidding, then the LNG ship is launched out by submerging the floating dock. Striking balance of the LNG carrier, which is about 30% heavier than other type of ships, on the hydraulic skidding facility and on the floating dock is the critical point of launching. Though this is the first LNG carrier Hyundai Samho has built using the on-ground method, the company has already built 50 other ships using this method since May 2008.

Since on-ground shipbuilding method allows higher productivity and cost effectiveness, facilitates efficient utilization of yard facilities and resources, and improves the safety of working conditions, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries plans to build 10 of 12 LNG carriers in its order book using this method.

In the autumn of 2013 Scania introduces Eco-roll, an advanced system with the potential to lower customer’s fuel costs by up to two percent. The Eco-roll system calculates when a truck should use gravity to roll in neutral downhill.

Customers in Europe who order a truck with Scania Opticruise with Active Prediction starting in the autumn of 2013, will from the first quarter 2014 be able to save fuel and money by using a new feature, Scania Eco-roll. The system calculates which is the most fuel efficient, whether to roll down hills with the transmission in neutral and the engine idling, or to use engine braking with the fuel supply switched off.

Choosing which is the most fuel-efficient – to cruise down a hill in neutral or under engine braking – is not as obvious as it may sound. Scania Active Prediction makes the calculation automatically. If the system chooses Eco-roll in order to make use of the kinetic energy, then the objective is to roll downhill in neutral for at least ten seconds since shorter sessions would be less useful. At

the same time the speed should not be so high that engine braking is engaged, since this negatively affects the fuel energy already transferred to the engine.

Scania Active Prediction uses both GPS (for positioning) and topographic maps to control speed. Depending on which performance mode drivers select, the truck utilises a number of strategies to either use as little fuel as possible or to optimise a high average speed. Where topographical map data is available, Scania Eco-roll is standard on long-haulage trucks, provided that the truck is equipped with Scania Opticruise and Active Prediction, a two-pedal system and a Euro 6 engine.A further development of Scania Active Prediction is that the system is now even better at optimising gear changing strategies. By analysing how much remains of an uphill gradient, unnecessary gear shifting can be avoided by utilising the low-rev torque advantage of Scania engines.

Daimler’s commercial vehicle subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) is celebrating a milestone achievement of one million commercial vehicles sold in MFTBC´s largest export market Indonesia.

The company has been present on the Indonesian market since 1970 and has established itself as the leading commercial vehicle brand in that country. FUSO is the market leader in the overall truck segment with a market share of 45.8 percent in the period from January to August 2013.

The FUSO Canter truck is a top seller with a market share of 52.5 percent in the light duty truck segment (January to August 2013) in Indonesia and is contribut-ing significantly to the seven-digit sales benchmark.

Dr. Albert Kirchmann, Head of Daimler Trucks Asia and MFTBC President & CEO, congratulated: “One million commercial vehicles sold of our tradition-rich FUSO brand in Indonesia prove that we have the right products on offer for our customers in the country,” noting: “

Indonesia is a strategically important market for our growth strategy as a country that already ranks third among the largest sales markets for light-duty trucks worldwide.”

To enable stronger participation in the growth of sales markets like Indonesia, the two Daimler commercial vehicle subsidiaries, Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) and Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) are bundling their Asia business under the umbrella of Daimler Trucks Asia with the joint goal of 290,000 units sold until 2020. While moderate growth rates are expected for the triad markets (Europe/North America/Japan), Daimler Trucks sees very promising growth prospects in the follower markets (such as Brazil/Russia/China) as well as in the developer markets of Asia and Africa.

The markets of Southeast Asia offer a significant long-term market potential. According to external forecasts, an increase of approx. 20 percent to 30 percent in annual truck sales can be expected for the entire Southeast Asia region until 2020.

The addition of the new flight on October 27, 2013 will double the number of Boeing 777-300ER services operated by Etihad Airways between Jakarta and Abu Dhabi and will bring to 20 the number of weekly flights offered in partnership with Garuda Indonesia.

Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said the extra daily service would add 5,768 extra seats per week to the Jakarta – Abu Dhabi route.

“The addition of a second daily flight puts Etihad Airways in a strong position in the Indonesian market because travellers will have a greater choice of departure times and will enjoy more frequent connections in Abu Dhabi to key destinations across our global network.

“The extra capacity also presents opportunities to capitalise on Indonesia’s rapidly growing aviation market and to leverage the growing trade between Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates.

“Last year, total bilateral trade between Indonesia and the UAE was valued at $3.3 billion, an increase of 32.32 per cent on 2011 – so we see significant opportunities to boost our share of the business travel market and to grow our successful freight division, Etihad Cargo.

“We thank the Director General of Civil Aviation, Indo-nesia for granting Etihad Airways approval for a second daily flight and we are confident that the extra capacity will deliver mutual benefits for the United Arab Emirates

AIR TRANSPORT

and Indonesia.”

Mr Hogan noted that the addition of a second daily flight was consistent with Etihad Airways’ expansion in Indonesia.

“We entered the Indonesian market in March 2006 with a modest four flights a week between Jakarta and Abu Dhabi and since then, we have more than tripled our frequency and have developed a strong partnership with Indonesia’s flag carrier.

“Our partnership with Garuda Indonesia adds six extra flights per week to the Abu Dhabi–Jakarta sector and enables us to offer daily flights between Jakarta and Perth, Australia and connections to five Indonesian cit-ies.”

President and CEO of Garuda Indonesia, Mr Emirsyah Satar, welcomed the increase in Etihad Airways’ services to Jakarta.

“The codeshare agreement with Etihad has been provid-ing Garuda’s passengers with seamless connectivity and wider choice, and it will strengthen Garuda Indonesia’s domestic market and in Australia as well,” Mr Satar said.

Etihad Airways’ flights between Jakarta and Abu Dhabi are operated by a two-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with 28 seats in Pearl Business Class and 384 seats in Coral Economy Class.

14th June, and has to date flown some 330 flight test hours in almost 70 flights. These flights have been devoted to the identification and freeze of all flap and slat configurations, loads and aero-elastic testing and evaluation of the aircraft’s handling characteristics and systems’ operation throughout the operational envelope. Three more A350 XWB test aircraft will join MSN 1 and 3 to perform the planned 2,500 hours up to Type Certification.

The A350 XWB has already won 725 firm orders from 37 customers worldwide. First delivery is planed second half of 2014 to Qatar Airways.source: airbus.com

Tesco, the UK’s largest retailer and one of the world’s leading international retailers, is in the process of replacing its truck and trailer fleet with quiet and environmentally responsible solutions from Thermo King, a manufacturer of transport temperature control solutions for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand.

By the end of 2013, Thermo King will equip 137 Tesco truck and trailer units in the United Kingdom and Ireland with triple tempera-ture SLXe Spectrum and dual temp T1000 Spectrum units, both with Whisper™ technology for minimum noise pollution.

“Thermo King SLXe and T series units have been designed with low noise, low emissions yet high performance, fuel efficiency and ease-of-use in mind, that together with an extensive service and aftermarket network were the features that Tesco has been looking for,” said Steve Williams, UK sales manager at Thermo King. “We are happy to be part of the Tesco truck and trailer fleet that is on the road to meeting their ambitious environmental goals.”

Tesco has set an ambitious goal to become a zero carbon retailer by 2050, as well as a number of demanding interim targets to reach by 2020 to reduce their carbon emissions in operations, in the products sold and by helping their customers to do the same.

To achieve these goals, in 2007 Tesco launched the “F Plan” strategy in the UK to limit the distribution emissions per case of goods delivered and underpin every operational efficiency activity within Tesco Distribution. Since the introduction of the “F Plan” in the UK,

Tesco has saved 56 million litres of diesel, nearly 150,000 tonnes of CO2 and taken 117 million miles off the road. At the beginning of 2012 Tesco set a long term target to reduce carbon emissions per case delivered by 25 percent by 2020 against a baseline of 2011/12.

The Thermo King SLXe Spectrum and T1000 Spectrum solutions selected by Tesco for the 2013 fleet replacement plans meet the customer’s business and environmental requirements with their whisper-quiet operations and focus on lowest fuel consumption and reducing emissions while maximising performance.

Tesco on the Road to Fulfill its Environmental Goals with the Help of Thermo King Truck and Trailer Solutions - 2 The Thermo King SLXe Spectrum units are the market-leading solution for day or night-time distribution of goods and perishable products. The units are ideally suited to operating in an urban environment offering substantial reductions in exhaust emissions, operating noise and waste.

The Thermo King SLXe units offer the lowest environmental impact available on the market today. With the Whisper™ technology the SLXe Spectrum units supplied to Tesco are the quietest conventional trailer units at both high and low speed currently available in the market.

The Thermo King T1000 Spectrum truck refrigeration units are equipped with the new range of GreenTech engines that reduce emissions, waste and noise pollution, exceeding all known require-ments, including the most stringent European Union (EU) standards.

With the new Marex Easy Control System (ECS) remote ship control from Rexroth Pneumatics, modern control units from the automotive industry and a Wi-Fi web server are finding their way into marine technology, allowing for fast start-up and diagnosis. The new control is used on small yachts and work boats and is compatible with all commercially available gasoline and diesel motors, inboard and outboard.

Users on board want intuitive control as well as an attractive design. Fitting with the sophisticated technology, the specialists from Rexroth Pneumatics have created an elegant and functional form: dynamic, ergonomically optimized control levers and exclusive chrome surfaces have been combined with language-independent icons and subtle background lighting for fatigue-proof journeys at night.

The Marex ECS is commissioned through auto-configuration of the standard functions and an integrated Wi-Fi web server. To date, it is the

sole remote engine control on the market with this option. Users who commission the device simply connect to the control wirelessly via notebooks, tablets, or smartphones, using only a web browser. The remote motor control web server does not require additional software and is hardware and operating system-independent. The user interface guides the user through the start-up process.

The electronic control unit and actuating drive originate from Bosch high-volume production for the automotive industry. This ensures reproducible quality and long-term availability of spare parts. The control software is designed to protect the powertrain. An integrated error log simplifies wireless diagnosis during operation and servicing.

Even the basic variant of the Marex ECS meets high customer requirements for safety, reliability, and robustness as set by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC). In the “Enhanced” version, the system achieves redundancy for the CAN bus with a back-up Hall sensor, ensuring top fail-safe performance.source: boschrexroth.com

TIRES

From the future of cars and tires to the ‘ultimate thrill ride’, survey delves into drivers’ attitudes Wayne, NJ, Hankook Tire America Corp. released findings from its Fall Gauge Index, the most recent installment of the quarterly survey. The Fall Gauge asked 998 Americans to weigh in on the latest trends in driving and travel:The Future of CarsMore than half of Americans surveyed believe in the next 20 years that all cars will be electric or hybrid (56 percent), able to communicate with other cars on the road (54 percent), and completely drive themselves (52 percent). Additionally, when it comes to tires, the majority (75 percent) of American drivers stated that it is likely they will equip their vehicle with completely airless tires by 2033. Airless passenger vehicle tires are a concept that Hankook Tire has been exploring as a future technology. Hankook recently revealed the Hankook iFlex, an airless tire concept which utilizes an innovative structure of organically connected spokes to absorb bumps and is constructed of recyclable, highly elasticated polyurethane synthetic materials. The Hankook iFlex concept also targets low rolling resistance, which helps to increase vehicle fuel efficiency.Thanksgiving TravelWhen asked about fall road trips, Americans are thinking (and stressing) about Thanksgiving. Up eight percent from last year’s Thanksgiving holiday travel data, 28 percent of Americans will hit the road for the Thanksgiving holiday, traveling an average of 1,117 miles. Unfortunately, with all this driving, 40 percent stated that Thanksgiving traffic will be the most stressful part of their holiday, followed by potential car breakdowns (11 percent), friends and family (10 percent) and the food (9 percent).

The Ultimate Thrill RideAdventure is also on the mind. Thirty two (32) percent of Americans surveyed said they consider skydiving the ultimate thrill ride, followed by a ride in a race car (26 per-cent), white water rafting (16 percent), a roller coaster ride (13 percent), and a zip-line ride (13 percent).

The Ideal Driving Companion

The quarterly gauge also took a lighter turn, asking Americans for their preferred road trip companion. With Halloween right around the corner, Americans’ preferences trended towards the spooky. Fifty-nine (59) percent of respondents said they’d prefer to cruise with Frankenstein vs. Dracula (41 percent). In addition to the Halloween icons, Americans weighed in on road tripping with other friendly competitors:

Sixty (60) percent chose Stephen King as their storyteller on the road vs. F. Scott Fitzgerald (40 percent)Bert and Ernie, two of the biggest ‘rivals’ in American culture, came in at an even 50-50 splitThe popular ‘Angry Bird’ came out as the clear winner (68 percent) vs. ‘Zombie’ (32 percent)“Our Hankook Quarterly Gauge Index continually sets the tone for seasonal driving trends and reveals great insight into American drivers’ opinions and sentiments. These results are some of our most compelling to date.” said Henry Kopacz, Public Relations and Social Media Manager, Hankook Tire America Corp.The Hankook Tire Gauge Index was conducted September 18-19, 2013 by Vision Critical on behalf of Hankook Tire America Corp. Additional findings from the survey include:38 percent of Americans think to ‘get in a car and keep driving’ is the most romantic way to get away; 37 percent said riding in a train is, and 25 percent would prefer to fly58 percent of Americans are very satisfied with their partners’ treatment of their vehicle42 percent of Americans rely on themselves to conduct regular tire maintenance on their vehicle; 38 percent rely on a me-chanic; 17 percent rely on their spouse; 1 percent rely on their parents

The Munich-based multichannel mail order company HSE24 has re-awarded its logistics service provider contracts and decided to expand its cooperation with DHL Parcel Germany. As a result, DHL is once again the sole logistics partner of HSE24.

DHL has also expanded its logistics center in Greven to include a cen-tral warehouse from which the entire goods management and logistics processes can be directed and items fed directly into the adjoining DHL parcel center via a conveyor bridge. Now that the expansion is complete, the DHL logistics center is one of the most highly productive fulfillment centers in Germany: It boasts 59,000 square meters of warehouse and handling space (including administration) as well as 40,000 pallet spaces in the high rack warehouse. During peak periods, employees pick more than 5,000 HSE24 item orders per hour. The investment partner for this 30 million euro expansion is once again the Commerzbank subsidiary Commerz Real, which had already invested in the construction of the logistics center in 2006.Suitable solution for a wide product range

“We are pleased with the trust that HSE24 has placed in us,” said Katja Herbst, Managing Director of DHL Home Delivery GmbH and Chief Sales Officer (CSO) at DHL Parcel Germany. “The expan-sion of the logistics center in Greven and its direct connection with an already modernized parcel center make it possible for us to offer an integrated solution that is optimally tailored to meet the special requirements of the home-shopping business and growth strategy of HSE24.”

The high demands that HSE24 places on its logistics service provider include fast-as-possible delivery of the ordered goods, flexible handling of an array of goods that rotates quickly and frequently, and

a suitable solution for a wide product range distributed across different categories. These require specific warehousing and varied processing. The site in Greven, in addition to a hanging garment system with textile processing capabilities, also has expanded pallet racking and a security area for valuable merchandise such as jew-elry. As a result of the highly diverse combinations in customer orders, these different types of goods demand a complex supply, order picking and packaging logistics - services that DHL Parcel provides thanks to its expanded range.33,000 HSE24 parcels per day

“The most important thing for us is fast and reliable delivery to our customers,” said Koen Verbrugge, Service & Operations manager at HSE24. “That means fast order processing and consideration of the special conditions associated with our business. Both are reflected in the logistics concept from DHL, thanks to a combination of the dif-ferent advantages of automated and manual logistics processes.” On average, more than 33,000 HSE24 parcels per day leave the DHL logistics center in Greven. Of that number HSE24 reckons some 20,000 different items in seven product categories.

As the leading logistics partner in the German e-commerce and mail-order retailing business, DHL Parcel Germany has also consolidated services in the area of home delivery as of this year. Consequently DHL can now offer fulfillment service customers a one-stop shop solution - everything from procurement, quality control, warehousing, order picking, packaging, through dispatch and front-door delivery, to returns management.

The Stena Polaris is one of the tankers in Stena Bulk’s fleet with the necessary technology, equipment and crew competence for a safe voyage via the Arctic. This is the ninth time that one of Stena’s ships will have sailed through the North-East Passage since 2011.

The Russian authorities responsible for administering the North East Passage have exacting requirements on technology and equipment. Additionally, only during a few months every year does the ice situation allow ships to pass through the North-East Passage. Even then, they are escorted, often in convoys, through the most difficult sections and the Stena Polaris has been assisted by the Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker Taymyr with a crew of 110. Also, throughout the voyage there are so-called “ice advisors” on board Stena Polaris who are used to

navigating in Arctic waters.

The Stena Polaris has been built to ice [image]Stena Polaris breaking ice.class 1 A specifications in accordance with Det Norske Veritas (DNV), which means that it is well equipped to sail in ice -covered waters where broken ice can be up to 0.8 m thick. In addition to an ice -strengthened hull, her rudder and propellers are technically adapted for operation in icy waters and her main engines have been modified to deliver greater power. In order to raise competence on board still further, Stena has been collaborating for some years now with Russian Makarov State University in St. Petersburg, which specialises in navigation in icy waters. 25% of the officers on board Stena Bulk’s tankers are Russian, and most of them were educated and trained at Makarov.

Patrik Svahn, Manager Commercial Operations in [image]Fire drill on board. Stena Bulk’s office in Gothenburg, is now on board the Stena Polaris and blogs directly from the ship.”As always, Saturday is drill day and today was no exception. On the menu was a safety drill with helicopter launching, an abandon ship drill and again a fire drill but this time it was time for fire in the paint store. At 15:30 the alarm sounded and all crew and passengers went the to their respective muster station. We started off with the helicopter launch drill which today consisted of the 3rd Officer verbally going through the different scenarios where helicopter launching could be necessary such as during a medical emergency, so called helivac, and what to think of if this would come into reality. Past experiences were shared and those who had questions had the opportunity to ask them. Before we were finished with this drill the 3rd Officer advised that after the remaining drills we will all meet inside in the ships office where we will watch an educational movie about helicopter launching”.

DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight specialist of Deutsche Post DHL, has announced the launch of the ‘Corporate Automotive Logistics Academy 4.0’ (CALA 4.0). The academy is a training program for the automotive industry and is aimed at manufacturers, suppliers and customers of DHL Global Forwarding Germany. The modular program has been developed in cooperation with BVL Campus, the educational institution of the German logistics association BVL, and trains participants to become experts in automotive logistics.

“I am firmly convinced that CALA 4.0, which was designed by DHL and BVL Campus, will develop into an innovation platform for automotive logistics. To fully exploit the innovation potential within the logistics sector, the program confronts logistics experts with new require-ments. In the academy, we work with selected forms of learning. Participants work coopera-tively, networked and interactively in presence labs and on virtual platforms to find solutions for all areas of automotive logistics”, says Thomas Wimmer, Chairman of the Executive Board of BVL.

Modular program with selected forms of learningThe academy takes a modular approach. At the beginning in October 2013, there will be two modules; six others will be added from 2014 onwards. In the first training course attendees will learn about current trends and strategies in automotive logistics. Each module encompasses one day of classes and workshops. Afterwards an online platform offers further learning possibili-ties. Upon completing all modules, all participants will receive a certificate.

“CALA 4.0 is an important component in the development of our Automotive Competence Centers. We are taking a leadership role in the area of talent management, which is one of the key factors in the automotive industry and has a strong relevance for logistics, not least because of demographic change. The systematic approach of the academy as well as the high practi-cal relevance in combination with science is unique”, says Christiane Beimel, Vice President Global Automotive Competency Centers, DHL Global Forwarding.

The academy starts in Germany. From 2014 onward, DHL Global Forwarding will expand the training and offer it on a global scale.

We have successfully completed our first order down under! Australia’s Downer EDi Rail has taken delivery of a pair of ten tonne bogie rotators from Mechan, thanks to our local distributor, Unique Rail. The rotators, which are the heaviest Mechan has ever produced, will be used at Downer EDi’s Newport depot in Victoria to maintain up to ten different types of loco-motive. This broad remit required design modifications to increase lifting capacity and add extra bolt holes to the structures. Rail industry supplier, Unique Rail, our official dis-tributor for Australia and New Zealand, negotiated the purchase of the new equipment. Managing director,

Fabian Borgonha, then worked with our engineers in Sheffield to create a special adapter for Downer EDi that would enable the bespoke rotators to be attached to various bogie frames. Richard Carr, Mechan’s managing director, said: “We are extremely lucky to have found an Australian distributor with such excellent industry contacts and technical ability. Having supplied a similar order to Asia last year, we were confident the equipment would meet the needs of our Antipodean colleagues and make it across the world safely. It wasinstalled successfully by Unique and is now being used by a very satisfied cli-ent.” Mechan’s rotators comprise two independent structures that work together to hold a bogie frame in place whilst it is rotated through 360 degrees. Typically, they are manufactured to support between six and eight tonnes, however, as freight trains in Australia are larger than the UK equivalent, the capacity was increased for Downer EDi to ten tonnes. Fabian Borgonha added: “Bogie rotators are a common sight in rail depots across

the world and it is vital their construction can withstand the rigours of busy maintenance facilities. Mechan has an excellent reputation for the quality and reliability of its lifting equipment and I am pleased to be introducing Australia to its products. The firm’s proven technology, competitive prices and willingness to work with my client impressed everyone involved in this transaction.”
