MAIN TOPIC
Why Malaysia?
In addition to having 2 FLNG projects announced , Malaysia is recognised as one of the world’s largest
LNG exporters. The country however currently experiences a geographic disparity of natural gas supply and demand. Natural gas demand is primarily from the power and industrial sectors in West Malaysia, while gas supply is in the eastern states of Sarawak and Sabah. The limited gas supplies and rising demand in the western part of the country has triggered investments in regasification terminals , opportunities in floating terminals also considered. NEWS : PETRONAS expected to be world’s first company to begin FLNG operations in 2015
Malaysia’s PETRONAS is one of the first companies in the world to start constructing a
floating LNG facility. Known as the Kanowit, the FLNG facility is currently under construction at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in Okpo, South Korea. In June 2012, Petronas Floating LNG 1 (Labuan) signed a US$ 771 million engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) contract with the Technip-DSME consortium. While Technip is designing the topsides in Kuala Lumpur and Paris, Daewoo’s Okpo yard is catering to the hull engineering and construction of the facility. The FLNG vessel is expected to be world’s first floating liquefaction unit in operation when deployed in 2015. It will operate at the Kanowit gas field, 180km offshore Bintulu, Malaysia. With an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons, the facility will help PETRONAS monetize its upstream stranded gas assets and reduce the provisioning of fixed infrastructure costs. The FLNG facility is expected to increase Malaysia’s total LNG production capacity from 25.7 mpta to 26.9 mpta. FLNG is said to be a game changer in the oil & gas industry as it can go a long way in meeting the growing energy appetite in cities of Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam in a cost-effective manner. Consumers who are currently dependent on pipeline gas, can get flexible supply with FLNG. In fact a study by Market Publishers states that the world FLNG industry is expected to attract over USD 70 billion investments through 2020. Every known oil & gas company is trying to capitalize on the untapped FLNG sector. FLNG World 2014 29-30 Apr, 2014 - Kuala Lumpur

LOGISTICS DHL delivers gigantic MRI scanner across the Atlantic to University of Minnesota
DHL
Global Forwarding delivered the world’s largest Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner ever built to the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research at the University of Minnesota. The journey of the heavy-load module from Oxford, United Kingdom, to its destination in the U.S. via ocean and road freight started in October 2013 and took almost six weeks. The scanner weighs about 100 tons and has a value of approximately ten to twenty million US Dollars. “Even though we do have a lot of experience in heavyweight cargo transports, this project has really been an interesting challenge for us. Due to its weight, the floor of the warehouse in Oxford had to be reinforced and we used a mega-lift system to get it onto the trailer for transportation. Our team planned the transfer for almost two years, including route surveys in the UK and U.S.”, explains Nikola Hagleitner, CEO Industrial Projects, DHL Global Forwarding.
corts at all times to ensure safety on the roads. From there, the oversized brain scanner was shipped via vessel across the Atlantic and navigated through the Great Lakes to Duluth, Canada, on the last ship from Europe in 2013 before the lakes froze over. After arrival two weeks later, it was loaded onto a 19 axle step deck truck, 193 feet in length, moved by one truck at the front pulling and one at the back pushing. As in the UK, this required an escort at all times, co-ordinated between state police, local police and private security. The last leg of the journey, from Duluth to the University of Minnesota, took two days and the cargo was safely delivered on December 7th, 2013. The MRI scanner has already been installed at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research and will be used for research in high field magnetic resonance imaging as well as for anatomic, physiologic, metabolic, and functional studies in humans and animal models.

LOGISTICS Quiet, powerful, reliable: the SCHEUERLE InterCombi proves itself once again through the transport of a 243 t transformer In 1972, the legendary “Heuler”
vehicle from SCHEUERLE entered service with the DB heavy transport group. Right up to the very end of its working life, the vehicle stood out on account of its high pulling force, traction and driving speed. The flexible and robust SCHEUERLE InterCombi SP module with an axle load of 36 t fulfils a similar purpose but has nothing else in common with the “Heuler”. Considerably quieter, more powerful and more maintenance-friendly than its aging predecessor, it impressively proved its capabilities once again through a DAHER-HCS transportation assignment. The plan was to transport a 243 t transformer. With the help of the SCHEUERLE load distribution lifting device, this was fixed on a SCHEUERLE InterCombi SP with 2 x 10 axle lines. At 10.2 metres long, 3.4 metres wide and 4.5 metres high, this was indeed a concentrated load that demanded the highest level of concentration by the driver, load supervisor and transportation manager. The journey started at 21:15 at the Amprion sub-station in Winnenden. The first challenge presented itself right at the very beginning as an upward gradient of ten per cent and a hairpin bend in the direction of Schwaikheim had to be overcome. Here, the traction and driving force of the SCHEUERLE InterCombi on 12 hydrostatically-driven double pendulum axes proved to be more than adequate from the beginning as well as being precisely adjustable.
20
The route carried on through the town of Schwaikheim up to the next hairpin bend. This area also featured an inclination of ten per cent within which the vehicle had to change the direction and approach. This process took around four minutes whereby the drivers electronically changed the driving direction of the carrier vehicles several times. In the process, the driver’s seats were rotated by 180° in order to allow carrier vehicle operations in the opposite direction. Decoupling and turning the truck tractor, which normally results in a loss of time, was not required for this self-propelled vehicle. Negotiating the gradient again was problem-free and driving speed could be quickly resumed. Source :scheuerle.de

NYK Puninar Auto Logistics Indonesia (NPALI) which will offer total logistics solutions — i.e., transportation, storage, pre-delivery inspection, and customs clearance — for complete built-up units (CBUs) of vehicles being shipped to and from Indonesia, as well as domestic distribution throughout the islands of Indonesia.
Puninar Jaya was found to be the best partner for the joint venture because of its 44 years of experience in the Indonesian logistics market and the company’s strong deployment of property and equipment. NYK, itself, has been active in the shipping industry for 128 years and blends a global Ro-Ro network with state-of-the-art quality control to provide advanced CBU services in regions throughout the world. Moreover, the company offers domestic Ro-Ro operations within Indonesia, so NPALI is expected to quickly become one of Indonesia’s foremost CBU logistics providers.

NPALI will be able to use NYK’s domestic Ro-Ro services within Indonesia to offer door-to-door logistics services, which is certain to result in greater customer satisfaction. According to NPALI president director D. Budijanto, “Combining NYK’s extensive services with Puninar Jaya’s high-quality operations and local network, NPALI will become a total logistics provider and the only provider able to support customers in the area by offering seamless services.” --About the companies Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha is one of the world’s leading transportation companies.

CEA Project Receive Official Certification for Jumbo Waste Bags CEA Project Logistics recently received official certification from the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research and further approval from the Marine department for their Jumbo Waste bags. These bags have now been recognized by the United Nations and registered with an official UN number. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; “CEA started producing Jumbo Waste Bags in early 2012 after noticing a gap in the Asian market for servicing the oil and gas sector. The bags are used to collect the waste by-products from off shore drilling which can contain many heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, zinc, chromium, copper, and others) that come from components of both drilling fluids and drilling cuttings. The bags have a safe load weight of two metric ton and are lined with an inner Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bag which ensures that if any tears occur to the outer bag the contents will still remain sealed in the inner bag. The bags are produced at their Laem Chabang facility situated on Thailand’s eastern seaboard. CEA’s client list includes Chevron and PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP). Such is the demand for these bags that the CEA plastics team are now working at maximum output.” Source : projectcargonetwork.com / ceaprojects.com

February 2014 – we’ll haul you over the coals Or how we were on the
road with a travelling height of 6.50 metres. In January, our Dresden subsidiary received the order to transport a boiler with a weight of 73 tons from the manufacturer to the closest domestic port. The biggest barricade on our route was located quickly: The narrow and low cross-town link of Pißdorf. Due to our experience of previous transports it was obvious that without additional manpower to lift the numerous telecommunication wires present in this locality a transport would be sheer impossible and that we as well as our low-loading truck plus load would get entangled like in a spider’s web. For this manoeuvre we employed 4 additional team members, each armed with a more than 4.5 metres long, isolated lifting rod in order to be able to raise the telecommunication wires. The boiler with the measures 9.40 m length, 4.90 m breadth and 5.37 m height was transported on an extra low vehicle combination. By means of a 4-axle towing vehicle with an 8-axle swing-axle combination we were able to keep both the total height of the load low and to balance well the occurrent tilting and rolling movements of the boiler. Because of good teamwork the transport could be realised without retarding within 3.5 hours and the boiler was consigned without any damage to Aken port for handling. Source :universal-transport.eu

New Waalhaven Zuid distribution complex
ProDelta Real Estate and the Port of Rotterdam
Authority are to radically redevelop almost 4 hectares of the Waalhaven Zuid business park. The Port Authority will demolish the current sheds on both sides of Hilgersweg, in stages. This will lose its public function and become part of the Distriport Waalhaven complex, which ProDelta is developing. This company will develop over 32,000 m2 of space for the handling and storage of merchandise, in two stages. This will involve an investment of around €14 million, excluding the land. A start will be made on the demolition of the existing buildings for stage 1 this month. Construction will begin soon afterwards and should be completed by January 2015. Waalhaven Zuid The Waalhaven area has played an important role in the development of the port for about 100 years and is still of great economic value. Due to its position within the Rotterdam ring and its good access, the Waalhaven is an attractive location for port-related business. That’s why the area was revitalised in the 1990s, one result being the office development on Waalhaven Oostzijde and
Zuidzijde. For a few years now, the Port Authority has been developing a new regeneration plan for the Waalhaven Zuid business park. Some of the existing real estate here is seriously outdated and no longer meets current market needs. Over the past few years the Port Authority has purchased the necessary fragmented and outdated property with a view to facilitating the redevelopment of old areas. ProDelta ProDelta Real Estate has been a developer and investor in logistics and industrial real estate since 1946. The real estate portfolio comprises more than 500,000 m² of buildings divided over 120 hectares.

Air traffic movements grew correspondingly, with a total of 30,400 landings and take-offs recorded during the month, or 7.6% more compared to a year ago. The growth in passenger traffic was supported by a healthy increase in air travel between Singapore and Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Southwest Pacific and the Middle East. Among Changi’s top country markets, double-digit growth was registered for travel to and from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. Travel to Thailand however saw a decline with Bangkok traffic decreasing by a quarter.

COMBI LIFT SENDS THE WORLD’S OLDEST SURVIVING CLIPPER “CITY OF ADELAIDE” ON HER FINAL VOYAGE
On friday the 22nd of November Combi Lift, in
close cooperation with Peters & May Global Boat Transport, loaded the world’s oldest surviving clipper “City of Adelaide” on Combi Lift’s CL-900 type M/V “Palanpur” in Rotterdam. The “City of Adelaide” was launched at the yard of William Pile Jr., Sunderland on the 07th of May 1864. The clipper is one of the earliest composite vessels, of wood on iron frames, in the world. Firstly the vessel served as a passenger- and general cargo vessel running between Great Britain and South Australia. In 1887 she was sold and
re-rigged as a barque and served in the North Atlantic Timber Trade until 1893. From 1893 to 1922 the vessel served as an isolation hospital on the river Test. In 1923, she became a training ship for the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve and Naval Drill Ship. In 1947 the “City of Adelaide” ended her “active” service and became meeting place/club house for the R.N.V.R. Club in Scotland. After having served the Admiralty for nearly 70 years the “City of Adelaide” was sold to a trust in 1990, but unfortunately the vessel sank in 1991 at moorings on Firth of Clyde, Scotland. Later the vessel was taken over by the Scottish Maritim Museum, refloated and moved to a slipway in Irvine, Scotland, for restoration. In 1999, the owners of the slipway evicted the museum from the slipway. The “City of Adelaide” remained at Irvine surviving several attempts of having her demolished. In August 2010 it was ultimately decided that the “City of Adelaide” would not be demolished, but instead taken over by the Clipper Ship “City of Adelaide” Ltd. (CSCOAL) with the mission to return the vessel to Port Adelaide as a museum. The last voyage of the “City of Adelaide” on the back of Combi Lift’s m/v “Palanpur” has vitually become a tribute to its service in the North Atlantic Timber Trade and the South Australian Service, as it will go via Norfolk (USA) and the Cape of Good Hope to Adelaide. The M/V “Palanpur”, along with the “City of Adelaide” arrived in Adelaide on February 03 and was succesfully discharged into its owners custody.

SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF FULL HEIGHT JACKING TRIALS OF TERAS
Teras
Offshore, along with Global Maritime and ASL Shipyard in Batam, Indonesia are pleased to announce the completion of full height jacking trials of the Teras Sunrise. The trials were completed on 7th February and mark another successful milestone in the Teras Sunrise reactivation project. The Teras Sunrise is the second “Service Jack” design developed by Global Maritime. The vessel is a jack-up construction vessel with a payload of up to 7,200 tonnes, outfitted with four jack-up legs for jacking operations in the North Sea in up to 80m water depth. She has accommodation for 160 persons with the option to increase to 260 using Pullman berths. She also has two 750 tonne pedestal cranes, a helideck and six thruster DP2 dynamic positioning system for independent operations offshore. In addition to designing the Teras Sunrise, Global Maritime has also been providing technical support to the owners, Teras Offshore, during the reactivation project. Working closely with Teras Offshore, Global Maritime was able to use their in-depth knowledge of the vessel and systems to help ensure the reactivation work ran smoothly. Taking advantage of its extensive geographical network, Global Maritime’s London and Singapore offices provided assistance in preparation for and during the jacking trials. This included carrying out the site specific assessment, preparing the jacking procedure, ballast plan and providing technical advice during the trials. Global Maritime’s project manager explains: “It has been great for us to see this project through from initial concept to final completion. Our close working relationships with Teras Offshore and ASL have been key in overcoming the inevitable challenges associated with a reactivation project. All parties have been 100% committed to making the project a success and we are incredibly proud to be involved.” The vessel sea trials are scheduled for March 2014 and the Teras Sunrise is expected to begin service in April 2014.

SEA TRANSPORT CKYHE Alliance to be established: Evergreen to join existing partners
Draft Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 on Liner Shipping Consortia as regards its period of application
The European Commission is inviting
comments on a proposal to prolong an exemption of liner shipping consortia from the application of EU antitrust rules that prohibit certain agreements between companies. The maritime consortia block exemption regulation allows shipping lines to enter into cooperation for the purpose of providing a joint service (so-called “consortia”). In light of the comments received, the Commission will then adopt a new Regulation before the expiry of the current COSCO,“K” LINE,YANGMING,HANJIN and EVERGREEN Regulation in April 2015.
LINE are pleased to announce that the five parties have agreed in principle to establish a shipping alliance. To A consortium, grouping shipping lines which co-operate to provide joint maritime cargo transport services, usually allow be operational only on the trades between Asia and Europe, including the Mediterranean region, it will be liner shipping carriers to rationalise their activities and achieve economies of scale and there is a view that if consortia are called the CKYHE Alliance. The lines intend to formally begin the new Alliance as of 1st March 2014 subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. The CKYHE will commence operations in mid April with six joint services operating between Asia and Northern Europe and four loops dedicated to the Asia-Mediterranean route. The members of CKYHE have agreed to continuously review services on the Asia-Northern Europe and Asia-Mediterranean trades in order to optimize their efficiency and to enhance their service quality in terms of network coverage. The lines’ customers will benefit from a better quality of service in terms of transit times and service frequency. Operational efficiencies will also strengthen the Alliance members’ effective environmental stewardship. The lines have a commitment to cleaner shipping, which they understand their customers value highly. The Alliance will continue to pursue measures to minimize bunker consumption via ‘eco-slow steaming’ and to reduce CO2 emissions. Source : kline.co.jp

faced with sufficient competition and are not used to fix prices or share the market, the users of the services provided by consortia usually benefit from improvements in productivity and service quality. The Commission has therefore exempted such agreements from the prohibition in Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), provided that they do not exceed a certain market share. The first consortia block exemption Regulation was adopted in 1995 and prolonged several times. The latest market investigation, conducted in 2013, showed that the main tenets of the Commission’s approach are still valid. For consortia and alliances exceeding the market share foreseen in the block exemption regulation, the Commission will continue to closely monitor market developments and the conduct of companies to ensure that markets remain open and competitive. The draft Regulation, published for consultation, proposes to continue to exempt consortia under the existing legal framework for an additional five-year period until April 2020. Interested parties are invited to submit their views before 31 March 2014 to: European Commission Directorate-General for Competition Reference HT.3754 Unit COMP/F1, Office MADO 9/62 B-1049 Brussels Fax: (32-2) 295 01 28

Four trains have already been delivered to DB, with four more due to follow by the end of March 2014. The Velaro D features increased energy efficiency and flexibility as well as enhanced comfort. The aerodynamic characteristics of the train, for example, have been further optimized to reduce energy consumption, reducing air resistance by a total of about 20 percent compared with the predecessor model. The Velaro D is also the first DB high-speed train to be fitted with a lift for wheelchair users on either side of the train. The many other innovative features of the new ICE 3 were highlighted by Dr. Jürgen Wilder, CEO of the Siemens High-Speed and Commuter Rail Business Unit and Andreas Busemann, Head of Production at DB Bahn Long Distance, on a presentation run from Frankfurt (Main) to Cologne. “We’ve been able to successfully meet the challenges, especially in the certification process, and are very pleased to see the new ICE 3 now in operation on the German rail Source :siemens.com

Altenwerder is Germany’s largest container rail terminal
Around
half a million boxes were handled by rail at the HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) last year. This means that CTA was by far Germany’s largest rail terminal in terms of container throughput in 2013. This success gives a boost to Hamburg, Europe’s largest railway port. Exactly 496,762 boxes – the equivalent of 813,100 standard containers (TEU) – were handled by rail at CTA in 2013. Compared to 2008, the year before the outbreak of the financial and economic crisis, this represents an increase of almost 40 % in throughput handled by rail. This means that rail throughput at the CTA grew at a much faster pace than the throughput handled by all other modes of transport. Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has made a whole range of investments to further improve the efficiency with which railway boxes are handled at CTA over the past few years as part of its intermodal strategy. The addition of a second railway siding has increased the flexibility of the facility and enables additional trips. It is also now possible to control the sequencing and arrival of trains centrally thanks to a new control and signalling system. Finally, electrically powered vehicles are used to check the trains that are ready for departure. This means that even this part of the transport chain can be
performed without any carbon emissions. Oliver Dux, CTA Managing Director, explains: “Handling 500,000 boxes by rail – this is a great success for us. We owe this success first and foremost to our customers, who opted to use the commercially attractive and environmentally friendly rail-based system. We played our part by making a whole host of investments and changes to our processes. Another key reason for the sharp rise in rail throughput is capital expenditure made by the Hamburg Port Authority in the port railway over the past few years. At CTA, efficient handling processes go hand-in-hand with a high performing hinterland system.” The Container Terminal Altenwerder utilises with a very high degree of automation and electrification. HHLA operates a total of three container terminals in Hamburg. CTA’s largest individual customer and train operator is DB Schenker Rail. Dr. Bernd Pahnke, Port Liaison Officer for DB Schenker Rail, adds: “The Container Terminal Altenwerder is a very strong railway handling terminal, both in terms of quantity and quality. The reliability of its processes is of paramount importance to us. For this reason, we are very pleased to see how the systems of CTA and the port railway interlock with each other.” Source:hhla.de

Successful challenge helps Hong Kong drivers save fuel
Over
the past six months, truck owner driver Kong Hon Leung has reduced his fuel bill by nine percent. As one of 330 skilled drivers, he participated in Scania Hong Kong’s Virtual Driver Competition. Their driving performance has been closely monitored using Scania Fleet Management. Starting in July 2013, bus and truck drivers have gained points for avoiding harsh braking, idling and speeding while coasting as much as possible and taking advice from Scania Driver Support. The fuel consumption effects have been recorded each month. “We organise the Driver Competition every other year and wanted to stage an event in between,” says Managing Director Anders Gustafsson, Scania Hong Kong. “The response was overwhelming and it’s clear that drivers are ambitious and love a challenge.” Most vehicles have Scania Communicator The Virtual Driver Competition was possible thanks to Scania’s tremendous market success in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, having over the past few years grown from an insignificant market share to one-third of the market. Therefore, many Scania trucks and buses are recent models and approximately 80 percent of the rolling fleet is equipped with Scania Communicator. They can thereby transmit vehicle- and driver-related information for fuel efficiency analyses.
can improve performance.” Substantial savings After total results were tallied at the end of December 2013, Scania Hong Kong noted that nearly 300 of the participants had achieved fuel savings. Together they had saved 226,000 litres of diesel valued at € 218,000 and as a consequence saved 611 tonnes of CO2. On average, each vehicle had, over the six months, saved € 660. The top ten scorers were recently invited to Sweden to visit Scania’s head office and production units. The 39-year old driver Kong Hon Leung was among the very best scorers. Following recommendations from Scania Driver Support, he, for example, cut idling hours by nearly 15 percent. “I found it quite simple to start driving more economically,” he says. Potential for further improvement Kong Hon Leung owns a Scania G 360 LB6x2, which he usually drives to pick up consignments of garments and shoes from factories in China for transport to the Port of Hong Kong. “My longest route is some 600 kilometres return trip and I annually drive the truck 100,000 kilometres. It’s a tough business and occasionally difficult to get loads.” He was thrilled when told that he had finished in the top ten. “I now drive calmer and try to be aware of my driving. During the competition, I improved month by month and I’m convinced that there is a potential for further improvement.” Source :scania.com

is a heavy transport unit with a 5 m x 6 m flat load platform on top of a pair of crawler tracks, which can be used alone, in pairs or synchronised with up to 20 units under large loads - the crawlers can be used as an alternative to heavy lift wheeled transporters, such as SPMTs. The transport speed of the model under full load is 0.5 km/h, and a multiple angle tilt function on the load platform allows it to remain flat while the crawler unit follows undulations in the ground. Power is provided by a 306 kW power pack unit with MTU diesel

ROAD TRANSPORT Retro Classics Commercial Vehicles 2014: From the “ workhorse” to the high-tech Atego
Mercedes-Benz is giving an
insight into the development of the distribution sector with twelve historic models and four modern commercial vehicles at the Retro Classics show in Stuttgart (13 – 16 March 2014). The Mercedes star has emphatically made its mark on the distribution sector over the last 118 years of commercial vehicle history. Coinciding with the production start-up of the new-generation Atego, the commercial vehicle and classics experts at Mercedes-Benz are using the slogan “Distribution transport then and now” for their display this year. The distribution sector is Atego territory. In their respective eras, the Atego and its antecedents in the 7.5 to 11 t class were a common and defining sight on the roads. It would be no exaggeration to say that they are the real heroes of day-to-day commercial life. Without them our specialised economy would grind to a halt. The very first trucks, for example the “Daimler 4 HP truck” of 1899, were already used for the short-radius day-to-day distribution of goods needed in daily life. Among the exhibits are a racing car transporter from the era of the ‘Silver Arrows’ based on the Lo 2750 of 1936, and the first truck from Wörth production, an LP 608 from 1965. The vehicles on show in Hall 8 at the exhibition site by the airport come from private collectors, from the Wörth commercial vehicle plant and from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. To underline the contrast between then and
56
now, the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth is sending four new vehicles to the show in Echterdingen, among them the latest Mercedes-Benz Atego with a beverage distribution body. The others are the latest SLT heavy-duty truck based on the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4163 8x4, a four-axle tractor unit for extremely heavy-duty transport assignments with gross combination weights of up to 250 t, which was only presented to the public a few weeks ago, a heavy all-wheel drive tipper from the Arocs series and the new Mercedes-Benz Actros. Since 2001 the Retro Classics show in Stuttgart has established itself as one of the largest and most modern classic vehicle shows in Europe. Last year 77,000 visitors made their way to Stuttgart. Fiery veterans and pioneers of the diesel age Whether admiring the fiery veterans with glow tube ignition or the pioneering models of the diesel age from the 1930s – it is fascinating to follow the development of commercial vehicles from their initial “workhorse” status to the present-day sophistication of the high-tech Atego with its practically pollutant-free Euro VI technology. The sight of the LP 608, a forward control truck with a Pullman cab which was the first model to leave the production lines of the newly completed Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth in 1965, is bound to make the eyes of enthusiasts light up. These light trucks from Wörth were a common sight on the roads right up to the early 1980s. On display in Hall 8, an LP 813 with a beverage distribution body and an LK 814, one of the bestselling light trucks in the period 1984 to 1998, are still to be seen on the roads around Stuttgart on a daily basis. Which beautifully and amply justifies the brand claim “Trucks you can trust” – or as Gottlieb Daimler put it: “You can place your trust in my commercial vehicles.” Source :daimler.com

Volga-Dnepr ships ‘Cygnus’ resupply spacecraft
Volga-Dnepr
Airlines’ expertise in the movement of space cargoes has been called upon once again to transport the Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM) of the Cygnus resupply spacecraft from Turin, Italy, to Wallops Island, USA. The PCM was packed into a special container and was carried onboard the airline’s An-124-100 ‘Ruslan’ freighter along with supporting equipment to the launch site in Virginia State. Experts from Thales Alenia Space Italia, which produced the PCM, accompanied the cargo to monitor the special temperature conditions required during the transportation.
The flight was the third completed by Volga-Dnepr carrying modules of the Cygnus spacecraft, following earlier deliveries in August 2011 and July 2013. The contract was completed within the Ruslan International An-124 joint venture on behalf of SDV Logistique International, a longstanding customer of Ruslan International. The Cygnus resupply spacecraft was developed by the Orbital Sciences Corporation, USA, under the NASA program for ‘Commercial Orbital Transportation Services’ to ship supplies to the International Space Station.

DONG Energy installs first foundation at 210 MW offshore wind farm lifetime. The Westermost Rough offshore wind farm marks the first time that the next generation Siemens 6MW turbine will be used on a commercial scale – an important step on DONG Energy’s cost of energy reduction strategy. The wind farm will have a capacity of 210MW generating enough electricity to power approximately 210,000 homes.
The first of 35 foundations has been installed at
Westermost Rough, marking the beginning of offshore construction at the wind farm. The first monopile foundation was installed by GeoSea Innovation, one of the largest installation vessels in the world. The Innovation carried out the first five foundations to the site from the load out port in Aalborg, Denmark. The monopiles – which have a diameter of 6.5 metres and a weight of up to 800 tons – provide the base for the 6 megawatt (MW) turbines which will be installed later this year. Duncan Clark, Westermost Rough Programme Director at DONG Energy said; “This is a significant point on the project, and the first foundation installed really kicks off a critical time for construction. Work now moves into a very busy and complicated phase over the coming months as we continue to install foundations, get ready to receive and install the offshore substation, begin to lay the cables that connect the turbines to the national grid, and then later in the summer, begin the installation of the turbines themselves.”
Situated approximately 8km off the Holderness coast, the Westermost Rough site is one of two offshore wind farms that DONG Energy is currently constructing in the UK along with West of Duddon Sands on the west coast. The wind farms, which will be operational in 2015 and 2014 respectively, represent more than 500MW of green electricity which will be added to the UK Grid. The first monopile is being installed by the installation vessel GeoSea Innovation. Photo: DONG Energy

Construction is being managed from DONG Energy’s office in the Fish Dock, Grimsby, by a team of around 50 people. Work is also currently underway onshore at the Royal Dock in Grimsby to construct the permanent home for the Operations and Maintenance team who will service the wind farm over its 25 year

Tata Power concludes acquisition of 39.2MW wind farm in Gujarat
Mumbai / Delhi: Tata Power Renewable
Energy (TPREL), a 100 percent subsidiary of Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, has completed acquisition of 100 percent shareholding in AES Saurashtra Windfarms (ASW), the erstwhile 100 percent subsidiary of AES Corporation. ASW owns and operates a 39.2MW wind farm near Dwarka in Jamnagar district of Gujarat. The project which is fully operational since January 2012 has executed a power purchase agreement with GUVNL for sale of the electricity at a tariff of Rs3.56/kWh for the duration of the project. The project is registered with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project and is eligible to receive CERs. The project is also registered under the Generation Based Incentive Scheme of MNRE. TPREL was selected as the preferred bidder in a process conducted by AES Corporation for sale of its 100 percent stake in ASW in September 2013 and signed a share purchase agreement for the acquisition on October 7, 2013. The acquisition was subject to certain conditions, which have now been completed. With this acquisition, Tata Power’s total generation capacity will increase to 8,560MW and its wind
operational generation capacity to 437MW with wind turbines located across five states — Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka — which are the leading states in promoting wind power generation in India. Speaking on achieving this milestone, Anil Sardana, managing director, Tata Power, said, “Tata Power endeavours to generate 20-25 percent of its total generation capacity from clean energy sources and is proud to have completed this acquisition of the 39.2MW operational wind farm. The project is a clean energy project, which will enhance and increase the company’s clean energy footprint. This is our second acquisition of an operating wind asset and we are on a constant look out for similar opportunities in respect of wind and solar plants. This is yet another step towards the company’s commitment to sustainability.” The company’s strategy emphasises the development of clean energy generation from non-fossil fuel and renewable energy sources to balance the carbon emissions from fossil fuel-based generation capacity while contributing towards energy security of the country. Tata Power currently has four of its renewable projects registered under the CDM programme by UNFCCC. These projects include a 50.4MW wind project at Gadag, 50.4MW wind project at Khandke and 50.4MW wind project at Samana in Maharashtra. The fourth project is the 25MW solar project at Mithapur, Gujarat. Source :tata.com

GreenCat, specialising in IT and telematics solutions for road transport, will continue under the name ‘Groeneveld ICT Solutions’. Groeneveld Transport Efficiency, specialising particularly in automatic lubrication and Oilmaster oil management systems, will continue worldwide under the name ‘Groeneveld Lubrication Solutions’. This means that all activities of the Groeneveld Group will be brought under the same flag and it will be clear what the main activities of the various divisions comprise. Since the Cat4 activities were spun off early 2013 GreenCat has focused explicitly on Roadrunner TMS, Visual Planner and telematics solutions for road transport. The new approach also increased the desire to emphasise the renewed focus with a new name. It was therefore logical to make use of the strong name that Groeneveld has in the market. GreenCat therefore continues as Groeneveld ICT Solutions, a division of Groeneveld International. What remains is the philosophy of offering carriers one-stop shopping in terms of transport-related ICT, from the famous RoadRunner transport management system and Visual
64
Planner, if necessary extended with business intelligence software, to the modern ATX Android on-board computer with the necessary peripherals. Groeneveld Lubrication Solutions The name Groeneveld Transport Efficiency will also slowly but surely disappear. For decades Groeneveld Transport Efficiency has been a concept in automatic lubrication systems and other efficiency-enhancing products for road transport. With the growth of the company and the global development of new markets, Groeneveld products have also been used successfully in other sectors for many years. For example, in the world of earthmoving and construction equipment, in the agricultural sector, for internal transport and port equipment, such as container handling systems. Meanwhile, more than half of sales in lubrication systems have been realised in sectors other than road transport. For a long time now the name Groeneveld Transport Efficiency has not really reflected the activities of the company founded in 1971. That old familiar name will therefore successively make way for Groeneveld Lubrication Solutions, in more than 30 countries where Groeneveld is active, from Europe to Australia, New Zealand and China, from Canada to South America Source :groeneveld-group.com

SITA develops pioneering new technology for Virgin Atlantic concierges
Virgin Atlantic passengers will be the first air travelers
to experience the benefits of pioneering Google Glass and Sony Smartwatch technology as they arrive at London Heathrow airport, in an innovative pilot scheme which starts today. Concierge staff in the airline’s Upper Class Wing will be using wearable technology to deliver the industry’s most high tech and personalized customer service yet. The cutting-edge technology is being introduced as Virgin Atlantic publishes the results of a major study of 10,000 airline passengers from across the world on the future of air travel [1]. The results show that as the number of people travelling by plane has sky-rocketed in recent decades, the experience has lessened. Virgin Atlantic is joining with passengers and calling on the industry to introduce more innovations and radical fresh thinking to meet sky-high consumer expectations. Virgin Atlantic, in collaboration with air transport IT specialist SITA, is the first in the industry to test how the latest wearable technology, including Google Glass, can best be used to enhance customers’ travel experiences and improve efficiency. From the minute Upper Class passengers step out of their chauffeured limousine at Heathrow’s T3 and are greeted by name, Virgin Atlantic staff wearing the technology will start
the check-in process. At the same time, staff will be able to update passengers on their latest flight information, weather and local events at their destination and translate any foreign language information. In future, the technology could also tell Virgin Atlantic staff their passengers’ dietary and refreshment preferences – anything that provides a better and more personalized service. During the six-week pilot, the benefits to consumers and the business will be evaluated ahead of a potential wider roll-out in the future. Virgin Atlantic’s new solution replaces an existing process for serving passengers traveling in the Upper Class Wing, the airline’s premium entrance at Heathrow dedicated to Upper Class passengers. Airline staff are equipped with either Google Glass or a Sony SmartWatch 2, which is integrated to both a purpose-built dispatch app built by SITA and the Virgin Atlantic passenger service system. The dispatch app manages all task allocation and concierge availability. It pushes individual passenger information directly to the assigned concierge’s smart glasses or watch just as the passenger arrives at the Upper Class Wing. Dave Bulman, Director of IT, Virgin Atlantic, said: “While it’s fantastic that more people can now fly than ever before, the fact that air travel has become so accessible has led to some of the sheen being lost for many passengers. Our wearable technology pilot with SITA makes us the first in the industry to test how Google Glass and other wearable technology can improve the customer experience. We are upholding Virgin Atlantic’s long tradition of shaking things up and putting innovation at the heart of the flying experience.” Jim Peters, Chief Technology Officer, SITA said: “2014 is shaping up to be the breakout year for wearable technology, and Virgin Atlantic is the first to bring its vision to reality. At SITA Lab, we’ve taken the lead in testing and trialing this new technology for the air transport industry, and it’s been fantastic to work with Virgin Atlantic to launch the industry’s first wearable technology application.” Virgin Atlantic continues to push the boundaries with other technological advancements with SITA, including testing iBeacon with its Upper Class passengers at Heathrow, a new low-powered Bluetooth transmitter that can notify nearby iOS Apple devices of nearby services, discounts and updates on their flight boarding schedules. In addition, Virgin Atlantic’s newly enhanced mobile site means passengers will be able to book flights, check in online and check their flight status on the move, while also having access to the vast range of information on the main website, including destination and airport guides as well as details of baggage allowances and much more.

Amethyst Systems, has secured another major contract and has provided the UK’s most advanced cold storage facility with a new warehouse solution, which is already enabling the movement of a record number of pallets. Amethyst Systems, which is based in Portishead, completely overhauled Freezeserve’s warehouse system in Liverpool, replacing their existing SAP-based system with state-of-the-art technology that would successfully integrate with their IT and automated cold storage structure. The new system has already enabled Freezeserve to break their logistics records and in its first full month of operation it facilitated an incredible 23,401 pallet movements. Source :amethystsystems.net Amethyst Systems kitted out Freezeserve’s secure 20-acre cold store with the latest in pallet management systems, featuring real-time barcode scanning and the ability to oversee orders centrally. The new unique features allow easy tracking of stock movements within the warehouse, automatic importing of orders to reduce manual input and quarantine of stock. Richard Pollard, operations manager for Freezeserve, said: “Our overall goal was to find a system that would serve multiple clients and give them access to view information about the stock we hold on their behalf, and this system has captured that perfectly. “When we met with Amethyst and discussed their offering, we could see that the benefits clearly stacked up and that there were numerous advantages that the technology would deliver. I was confident in their ability to produce this system on time and within budget, and that’s exactly what they’ve done.

Leading tire manufacturer Continental and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) in Münster have been nominated at the GreenTec Awards 2014 for their joint development project “Rubin – rubber that can be industrialized and is made from dandelion plants for tire production” as one of the top three projects in the “Automobility” category. This category recognizes technological innovations, eco-friendly mobility concepts, and mobility services in particular. In the process, the nominated projects are judged not only on the results achieved to date, but also on their future potential. The GreenTec Awards are Europe’s biggest environmental and business awards and have been presented since 2008. On February 25, 2014, the 50 renowned experts making up the jury will decide on the podium positions for the three finalists in each of the 14 different categories. The award ceremony will take place in Munich on May 4, 2014, at the start of IFAT, the world’s leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste, and raw materials management. “We are pleased about this excellent response to our dandelion rubber project and its nomination as a project in the top three. Continental is investing in this promising material development and production project because we are convinced that it will enable us to further improve our tire production in the long run,” said Nikolai Setzer, who is responsible for the Tire division within Continental’s Executive Board. “This is because the production of rubber from dandelion roots is far less weather-dependent than production from rubber trees. Furthermore, the new system is so undemanding in terms of agricultural requirements that it opens up a whole new potential – particularly for areas of land in Europe that are currently uncultivated. By growing the crops much closer to our production sites, we can also significantly reduce the burden on the environment and our outlay for logistics.” This crop can be grown in numerous countries in Europe, including Germany. The first test tires featuring rubber compounds made from dandelion rubber are set to be tested on public roads during the course of next year.

In recent years, with the aid of state-of-the-art growing methods and optimized cultivation systems, it has been possible to produce high-grade natural rubber from dandelion roots in the laboratory. A pilot facility that produces natural rubber by the ton is currently under construction. Continental is expecting a long-term increase in demand for natural rubber that corresponds with the expected growth of the global tire market. With this dandelion project, we have taken a huge step forward on the path to our long-term goal of making the production of tires for cars, trucks, and bicycles, as well as specialist tires, even more sustainable,” explains Dr. Andreas Topp, who looks after the cooperation project as the head of Material and Process Development as well as Industrialization for Tires at Continental. “We expect to be able to produce large amounts of dandelion rubber with at least equivalent performance properties to conventional rubber harvested from rubber trees. And, as a result, we will put ourselves in a position where we are much less dependent on the annual harvest situation in the subtropical growing regions,” adds Topp. Furthermore, a natural rubber tree requires up to seven years before the first pieces of useable rubber can be harvested. By contrast, natural rubber from dandelion plants could be harvested several times a year without any waiting time at all. Source :continental-tires.com

Arctic shipping routes no silk road for China
The Arctic Institute
has released a report entitled The Future of Arctic Shipping: A New Silk Road for China, which discusses the impact Arctic shipping routes will have on trade to and from Asia
Written by Malte Humpert, the report explores the benefits of the North Sea Route and other Arctic passages on China’s global shipping market, but concludes that although the Chinese shipping industry looks set to continue growing at a rapid rate, this will not be due to international trade growth via Arctic shipping routes. Humpert suggests that shipping in the polar region may increase the number of supplies being delivered to the Arctic, and the amount of natural resources being transported to East Asia, but in the grand scheme of things, the Arctic routes will be unable to compete with the world’s existing major trade lanes.

With the use of their MarTrack solution, which provides real-time vessel tracking and alerts they are able to offer clients a security blanket using the latest technology. Users can view live vessel tracking, piracy and other essential information on a secure online portal. Says Aleck Burrell, ‘technology tools like MarTrack are extremely useful to ship owners and operators as part of a layered approach to maritime risk management.’ Martin Brown and Aleck Burrell were in agreement about the causes of piracy in the region citing favourable maritime geography, unstable political climates and safe havens ashore as prime reasons for its continuance. During a lively question time that followed, it was made clear by Martin Brown that political intervention, aid and support were vital in combating future piracy. This was another event supported by WISTA-UK highlighting some of the most important issues in shipping affecting not only women in the industry, but the industry as a whole. Ends …….

In a speech to WISTA-UK members held on Thursday 20 February at Tower Bridge House in London, Aleck Burrell, NYA Intern ational’s Maritime Operations Manager, said piracy was not about to go away in either region in the short-term. NYA Intern ational is a world leading crisis prevention and response consultancy and was invited to talk about the current piracy issues by WISTA-UK – the international organization of women working in the shipping industry representing naval architects, ship engineers, brokers, lawyers and other maritime related professions. Held at the offices of Mazars, the audit, accountancy, tax and legal services firm, the event was chaired by Martin Brown, Senior Parliamentary Advisor (Africa) who stressed that armed intervention and security would not solve piracy issues.
