Evergreen

inaugurates

Terminal 7

at Kaohsiung Port; Taiwan's 1st automated Container Terminal creates a new Shipping Hub

TAIWAN: Evergreen Marine Corp. (EMC) held an official opening ceremony for the newly built Terminal 7 at Kaohsiung Port. With the vision of new opportunities for the port and the provision of substantial enhancements to trade, the smart terminal is expected to drive ongoing growth of shipping related industries within southern Taiwan. The event was presided over by EMC’s Chairman, Y.I. Chang, and President, Eric Hsieh. A host of local government officials and distinguished guests were also in attendance.

As the first and largest fully-automated container terminal equipped with remote-controlled gantry cranes in Taiwan, Terminal 7 can significantly improve the efficiency of container handling operations Over the long term, the terminal is expected to achieve an annual handling volume of 6.5 million teu.

In his remarks at the opening ceremony, EMC Chairman Y.I. Chang said, “In line with the trend of the international shipping industry and the operational demand of mega container ships, Evergreen consolidated the cargo handling services in Terminal 4 and Terminal 5 of Kaohsiung Port and moved the operations to the advanced Terminal 7,

removing the trucking demand to haul containers between the two separate terminals and cutting carbon emissions from such transportation. We made a significant investment in automatic and energysaving equipment and also launched "Containerlink", an online platform which improves service quality by i

a

ointments for cargo delivery/pickup, container yard operation and digital payment systems.”

Chairman Chang added, “By building the new automatic quayside operations and the unmanned yard in Terminal 7, we are able to provide more efficient, eco-friendly service to our customers and offer better working environment for local employees, taking yet another step toward our goal of sustainable operations.”

Setting a goal to build a fully-automated container center, Evergreen has installed 24 STS gantry cranes, including 19 remote-controlled ones, 60 automated unmanned rail-mounted gantry cranes (ARMGC) and 24 smart gates in Terminal 7. With the introduction of 5G communication systems, optical fiber connectivity, and Internet of Things (IoT) information networks covering the entire site, together with Evergreen's intelligent terminal operating system (EMCTOS), optical character recognition (OCR) technology and real-time power consumption monitoring system, Evergreen can effectively coordinate port operations and improve the efficiency of container yard, making Terminal 7 of Kaohsiung Port one of the most advanced container hubs in the world.

DP World to bolster handling capacity with 3 million TEU this year

DUBAI: The Dubai-based port operator DP World expects to add approximately 3 million Twenty-Foot E q u i v a l e n t U n i t s ( T E U s ) o f new container handling capacity by the end of the year

The company currently manages approximately 9% of the world’s handling capacity, putting it among the top five global port operators. The expansions will take its total gross capacity to 93.6 million TEUs.

Key expansions will be completed this year in Caucedo (Dominican Republic), including an additional 1.2million TEU, Yarimca (Türkiye) projected an additional 579,000 TEU, Sokhna (Egypt) adding 500,000 TEU, Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) with an additional 200,000 TEU, among other key markets.

Supply chain advisors, Drewry, forecast global container throughput will grow to 932 million TEU by 2025, up from 858 million TEU in 2021. The firm’s capacity expansion plans come at a vital time with inflation, increased cost of living and geopolitical uncertainties causing concern about global trade and fuelling demand for faster, more resilient supply chain solutions.

According to DP World’s recent Trade in Transition 2023 report, businesses are still prioritising growth through market expansion, citing the key drivers of export growth in 2023 to be growing demand and expansion of operations into new markets The report also revealed the use of the technology as the top reason executives remain optimistic about global trade.

“We are committed to investing in our infrastructure to meet the growing demand for trade These capacity additions will further strengthen our position as a leading

global supply chain solutions provider connecting economies, businesses and consumers around the world,” Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said.

“We have to take a longer-term view of global economics, looking at how demand will change and how we can meet it in the most efficient way. Our medium-term target is to reach 100 million TEU a year, subject to demand,” Tiemen Meester, COO Ports & Terminals, DP World, said.

Alongside the physical expansion, the projects also focus on digitalisation – implementing new technology and modern terminal operating systems, which will further increase capacity by automating and streamlining operations within each port.

By introducing automated equipment and smarter ways of working, DP World expects to significantly boost its handling capacity within the same physical footprint Furthermore, automised equipment powered by electricity replaces fossil fuelled equipment, thus cutting CO2 emissions for DP World and its clients drastically

In March, DP World announced the first commercial use of its BOXBAY high-bay storage system at the Pusan Newport Corporation (PNC) terminal in South Korea. DP World has a 66% stake in PNC, which has a capacity of 5.3 million TEUs. The addition of BOXBAY’s technology is expected to enable PNC to boost its efficiency even further

DP World is also set to commence operations at Indonesia’s 600,000 TEU Belawan New Container Terminal (BNCT) in North Sumatra by the end of the year. DP World wants to increase BNCT’s capacity to 1.4 million TEUs and attract more direct calls, reducing reliance on regional hub ports, and strengthening its position as a major trade and logistics gateway in the Malacca Strait.

Adani Ports advocates for minimum 50 years of concession period in PPP projects

N E W D E L H I :

A d a n i P o r t s a n d

Special Economic

Z o n e ( S E Z ) o n

Monday emphasised t h e n e e d f o r a n “extended” concession period of at least 50 years and a comprehensive dispute resolution mechanism in the PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) model in infrastructure projects.

T h e s u g g e s t i o n s m a d e b y Adani Ports and SEZ CEO (Ports) Mr Subrat Tripathy at the roadshow of the 3rd Global Maritime India Summit 2023 here were in sync with the ongoing discussions aimed at bolstering India’s m a r i t i m e i n f r a s t r u c t u r e a n d a t t r a c t i n g s i g n i f i c a n t g l o b a l investments. “I want to highlight to the

Minister and the offices of the Ministry of Shipping for both Shipping and that a 30-year concession period may not be adequate. The new concession regime already recognises the ability to roll over, but I believe that a 50-year concession period would be more beneficial,” Tripathy said.

“This would provide a greater incentive for investors to come forward and ensure that adequate revenues are met,” he added. “It would also help mitigate the risk of the capital expenditure cycle being threatened towards the end of a concession period,” Tripathy said in his address. He lauded the West Bengal government’s initiative in providing a 99-year concession period for the development of the Tajpur deep sea port in the state. Adani Port has won

the contract to build and operate the port in the state Tripathy also underscored the significance of incorporating a robust dispute resolution mechanism and exit policies within the concession agreements.

Such provisions would create an atmosphere of transparency and reliability, fostering investor trust, he said Mr Subrat Tripathy, said that the company remains committed to the Tajpur project and was waiting for a Letter of Agreement from the West Bengal government before it can proceed with feasibility studies and environmental clearances The State Government needs to get security and some other clearances before it could award the final agreement.

Highlighting the role of private sector, the Minister further added, “Private sector is an essential partner in propelling the growth of India’s maritime sector and Public Private Partnership (PPP) has immensely contributed in development of new ports and augmentation of capacity in the existing ports. PPP terminals, which are currently handling about 50% cargo at major ports, are striving to raise its share to 100% in coming decades. West Bengal is poised to receive investment worth 1 trillion in maritime sector and that will make the state a maritime hub in near future. In view of the above, active and whole hearted participation of t r a d e a n d i n d u s t r i e s i n t h e improvement and development of port infrastr ucture and other ancillary facilities in India is

Sluggish Global demand with growth contraction and softening of commodity prices has led to continuous decline in exports: FIEO

NEW DELHI: Responding to the overall July export figures of USD 59 43 billion(withaminordeclineof5 06percent) compared to July 2022, Dr A Sakthivel, President, FIEO said that sluggish global demand specially in economies like China and EU coupled with the contraction in growth has led to the continuous decline in exports during the recent months

Manufacturing across the Euro Zone and the US has contracted due to persistent policy tightening measures by both the US Fed and the European Central Bank squeezing finances with also Britain's pace of decline steepening as optimism faded, added Dr A Sakthivel Further, with Asian economies showing mixed bags, economies across the continent struggled to maintain the momentum. The softening of the commodity prices have also pulled downvalue-wiseexports Alargenumberof countries are showing such decline including China whose exports also contracted almost similarly in July 2023

Oneofthemainkeyreasonsformoderating pace of growth in merchandise exports significantly in 2023 has been because of ongoing geopolitical tensions, disruption in global supply chain due to Russia-Ukraine war,monetarytighteningandrecessionary fears, which has continuously led to a fall in consumer spendings across the globe especially in advanced economies, reiteratedFIEOPresident

FIEO Chief added that we are of the view that exports will start showing better growth numbers, as things are expected to improve in the next few months with fresh orders or order bookings for the festival and New Year season beginning to come.

11 out of 30 key products sectors, which have shown positive growth during the month of July 2023, include ceramic products & glassware,

& pharmaceuticals, iron ore, fruits & vegetables, oil seeds, oil meals, cotton

cereal preparations & miscellaneous processed items, rice and coffee. FIEO Chief said that though the decline in imports is a good sign for the country, however, that has also led to de-growth in our key export sectors like petroleum products, gems & jewellery, organic & inorganic chemicals etc.

FIEO President further reiterated that the need of the hour is to provide further momentum to the economy through easy and low cost of credit to the MSMEs, marketing support for promoting Brand India products and services globally and GST exemption on Freight on exports Besides, the interest equalisation support across all sectors of export and providing further extension to the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme by one more year till March 31, 2024, will provide much needed cushion during such tough and challenging times.

APM Terminals Pipavav commences VLGC operations, establishing strategic gateway for LPG imports

PIPAVAV: APM Terminals

Pipavav (GPPL - Gujarat

Pipavav Port) achieved a significant milestone by commencing Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) operations with the maiden berthing of MT Jag Viraat earlier this month. MT Jag Viraat, owned by Great Eastern Shipping Company, is a VLGC vessel with an impressive 230 meters length and 37 meters beam, arrival draft of 8.2 meters and a displacement of 47,260 MT.

The VLGC vessel MT Jag Viraat loaded cargo from Ruwais, ADNOC Refinery Jetty, and discharged 21,907 MT parcel at port Pipavav for major three Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) – Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited With a major shift in All-India LPG imports to VLGC vessels from earlier Medium Gas Carrier (MGC) ships, the VLGC handling capability at APM Terminals Pipavav becomes critically important, allowing Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to maximize their LPG imports efficiently and safely

Commenting on berthing of the VLGC Vessel, Mr. Girish Aggarwal, MD, APM Terminals Pipavav said,”

We are proud to welcome the maiden VLGC vessel at APM Terminals Pipavav port. The demand for LPG is increasing as the Indian households are shifting to LPG as household fuel thanks to the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna. This feat reinforces our unwavering commitment to offer

world-class infrastructure and services to our valued customers. The introduction of the VLGC compliant berth facility will help us bringing in large vessels with larger parcel size to get economy of scales. Besides our DFC compliant LPG rakes help in distributing LPG cargo to the remote hinterland safely via environment friendly train connectivity We look forward to contributing to the growth of India's energy sector through our ongoing investments in infrastructure development.”

GPPL has already announced the development of a dedicated VLGC compliant LPG Berth in March 2023, with readiness expected by 2025, along with the expansion of the LPG Terminal capacity by its terminal partner, Aegis Vopak Terminal Limited The expanded terminal capacity is set to handle up to 3 20 million MT, further bolstering APM Terminals Pipavav's capabilities in handling LPG imports.
