DHL improves shipping of chemical freight “DHL utilize first tier manufactured flexitanks to provide the highest quality product to our clients. The manufacturing quality and reliability of flexitanks have improved significantly over the past few years, which is especially useful for our chemical sector customers when shipping goods in vast volumes. It holds up to 24,000 liters and is a multi-layer bladder designed to fit into a standard 20-foot ocean container.” says Dominique von Orelli, Ocean Freight Head Europe Middle East Africa, DHL Global Forwarding. 31 percent more cargo Thanks to its flexibility, every inch of container space is available, which allows customers to ship up to 31 percent more cargo compared with IBC totes and drums. There is also less need for packaging, handling and loading, which in turn increases supply chain effectiveness and thus lowers costs.

DHL Global Forwarding introduces a new product for the

shipment of bulk non-hazardous liquids. Particularly designed for the chemicals and beverages sectors, the DHL Flexitank overcomes the problems associated with ISO tank containers, IBC totes or drums and offers a more cost effective and environmentally friendly means of transporting liquid products. Flexitanks are available globally and customers benefit from DHL’s worldwide network.

Apart from that, ISO tank containers require return loads, long-term leasing agreements, and expensive cleaning procedures in order to avoid cross-contamination. The DHL Flexitank is recyclable, which enables customers to reduce their shipping costs by paying one-way international freight costs only. The range of goods which DHL is able to ship with Flexitanks also encompasses various other industries besides chemicals, such as consumer goods (beverages, concentrates), forestry (tall oil), parts of life sciences (enzymes), and energy (bio-fuels). The chemical sector is subject to comprehensive safety and environmental regulations, which call for complex supply chain requirements. With solutions such as the DHL Flexitank, DHL makes sure to improve every phase of its customer’s individual supply chain. Combined with the company’s global infrastructure and the local expertise, it ultimately allows DHL to provide market access more consistently. source : dp-dhl.com

Datalogic forecasts improved supply chain efficiencies for global players Datalogic is aggregating its 40 years of knowledge, experience and innovation with market forces to optimize

solutions in the global supply chain. Datalogic’s solutions help major international companies in industries ranging from retail to transportation & logistics, automotive to healthcare and manufacturing to postal services keep their goods and information moving. The company references world-class customers in different sectors with recent major applications in place for clients such as DHL Express, Carrefour, Volkswagen, Continental Tire, Puma, as well as more than 100 airports around the world, including Shanghai, Frankfurt, Rome and Milan. As the modern supply chain is essentially governed by digitized data, irrespective of the product type, the process results in dry products, for example, being handled with the same care and attention as fresh produce or sensitive items, in terms of speed and efficiency. The resulting data stream, whether images, specifications, cost or special condition and delivery requirements, is therefore extremely dense. According to Datalogic, this calls for particularly efficient management supported by cutting edge technology in order to manage risk and control data flow processes in real time. Influencing factors, when assessing the most appropriate solution for the relevant need include economies of scale, cus-

tomer demands, the boom in digitalization, enhanced global mobility, as well as safety, efficiency and security.

“Every industry and organization has a supply chain and the proliferation of data today means there is a distinct opportunity to capitalize on it. By leveraging benefits of capturing data, organizations can add value to their operations at every point along the chain - from design to production and warehousing to delivery to the end customer,” said Mauro Sacchetto, Datalogic Group’s CEO. “Within the context of globalization, the increasing movement of people and goods, coupled with the need to capture information about materials in transit and in manufacture, reflects a rising demand for process automation. This is driven by the increasing adoption of automation technology solutions, such as those from Datalogic, aimed at cutting operating expenses (OPEX) and converting them to capital expenditure (CAPEX) - thereby securing cost efficiencies in supply chain processes. Our company’s core philosophy is focused on providing the best services and solutions to customers so they can equally bring satisfaction to their own end-users – consumers. This is a supply chain in itself and is the yardstick we use in all our innovations,” added Mauro Sacchetto. source : datalogic.com

Gebrüder Weiss transports helicopter by truck to Georgia Gebrüder Weiss once again proves its competence as an expert for transports to the east

with a challenging project: For the company Wucher Helicopter, Gebrüder Weiss is transporting a helicopter by truck through six countries to the Georgian capital. The client will use the aircraft worth 1.5 million Euro for heliskiing in the vacation village of Gudauri, approximately 100 km north of Tbilisi. “For us it was obvious that only Gebrüder Weiss was considered for this transport,” says Wucher manager Thomas Türtscher. “The company has been a reliable partner in all transport and logistics matters for 30 years. Furthermore, GW is a true expert for Eastern Europe and Central Asia.” Also in Georgia, Gebrüder Weiss has been represented with its own branch since about one year. It was for cost reasons that the people in charge decided on transport

by truck: the helicopter alone would have needed about twice as much fuel for the 3,000 km flight as the fully loaded truck on the 3,700 km long route by land. Furthermore, safety equipment and avalanche rescue gear, 40 pairs of skis, 25 airbag backpacks as well as a tank station and diverse spare parts were sent along as well. Before the aircraft could be loaded on a common mega trailer, the landing skids and the rotor blades had to be dismantled. With an otherwise required special semitrailer, the costs would have been significantly higher. After about eight days of driving through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey, the transport will arrive in Georgia. The helicopter will be transported back to Austria in the spring. Picture loading (© Gebrüder Weiss / Karl-Rudolf Huber): The aircraft worth 1.5 million euro was manoeuvered onto the trailer with great care and appropriately secured for the long journey. source : gw-world.com

Brambles bulks up in containers with US$177m Pallecon buy operations worldwide, in line with our strategy of expanding our pooling solutions operations into a broader range of service lines and customer segments,” he said. Pallecon operates mainly in Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, providing IBCs primarily for the transportation of liquids in the food, cosmetic and chemical industries. It has been operating for more than 30 years and operates a pool of around 180,000 IBCs worldwide.

Pallet, crate and container company Brambles is to acquire Pallecon, a leading provider of Intermediate

Bulk Containers (IBC) in Europe and the AsiaPacific.

Brambles chief executive Tom Gorman said Pallecon, a division of CEVA Logistics, had good growth prospects and a record of generating strong financial returns.

The business generated sales revenue of €53 million in the 12 months ended 30 September 2012, with compound annual sales growth in excess of 7% over the three calendar years to 31 December 2011. Pallecon’s EBITDA and EBIT margins averaged 33% and 18% respectively over the same period. The transaction price represents a multiple of 7.4 times Pallecon’s EBITDA and 11.8 times its EBIT for the 12 months ended 30 September 2012. Pallecon’s existing senior management team will stay at the company under Brambles’ ownership.

ProMat 2013: BEUMER exhibits innovative sorting and distribution equipment

At ProMat, the USA’s leading exhibition for materials handling, supply chain equipment and logistics (January 21 to 24, Chicago), the BEUMER Group will be demonstrating its expertise in sorting and distribution equipment. Among other things, the company will be presenting tilt-tray and cross-belt sorters, which are distinguished by their high energy efficiency.

The BEUMER Group has been one of the world’s leading suppliers of sorting and distribution equipment since well before the acquisition of the Danish company, Crisplant a/s. At ProMat, on an area of 260 square meters, the company group will be presenting fully automated sorting systems, such as the BEUMER BS 7 BT cross-belt sorter in operation as well as a model of a Double Density tilt-tray sorter and the Crisplant LS-4000 high speed loop sorters. Small and large packages, product trays and even products in bags can be sorted quickly and carefully with these systems. They ensure the rapid availability of the sorted goods and therefore provide a high level of benefit for the end user. At the same time, these sorting systems require low maintenance, due partly to the non-contact power transmission. In addition, both the cross-belt and the tilt-tray sorter are extremely energy-efficient. As a result, wear is minimal. The intralogistics specialist equips postal and distribution centers worldwide with these systems. source : beumergroup.com

Starcare delivers energy saving for Yearsley Group Yearsley Group, the UK’s largest cold storage and distribution company has cut over £50K from its annual energy bill at one depot by investing in Starcare.

Yearsley Group’s Starcare PPM programme includes ongoing customer feedback and prioritised action plans. Regular meetings are held between Star engineers and the Coleshill site management team to review and update the Starcare schedule.

Starcare is Star’s planned, preventative maintenance (PPM) programme for refrigeration plant operators. This pro-active PPM programme for cooling equipment ensures optimum long-term performance and reliability. Starcare is proven to increase energy efficiency and significantly reduce lifecycle costs.

Star has made significant improvements to refrigeration plant reliability at the Coleshill distribution centre. According to current data, an annual energy saving of over £50K has been achieved by adjusting plant operation to reduce power consumption. Yearsley Group has now instructed Star to undertake further plant audits at other UK sites.

In 2011 Yearsley Group invested in Starcare across nine of its UK cold storage and distribution centres. Yearsley Group consolidated its maintenance programme from a number of external contractors and chose Star to provide a nationwide service.

Kevin Chrystal, Group Maintenance Manager for Yearsley Group, says: “Having worked with Star Refrigeration previously we were keen to seek their advice on reducing our electrical usage. The Starcare team spent four days at our Coleshill depot analysing our energy usage and proposed ways to take the project forward. After just one month of implementing Star’s suggestions we achieved our lowest electrical usage since 2003. Obviously we now plan to carry out the same changes at other depots as soon as possible. Working with Star has been an easy proposition, they analysed our systems with very little assistance from us, applied their proposals and followed through with cost savings – what more could we ask for?”

Star undertook a general plant audit at Yearsley Group’s Coleshill distribution centre, near Birmingham, in November 2011. Two refrigeration plants, including a bespoke Star LPR system, provide cooling to cold store chambers and a blast freezer at the facility. Following this review a specific maintenance plan was designed for Coleshill, with Yearsley Group’s site engineers completing non-critical maintenance and addressing H&S issues. The Starcare team concentrated on reducing power consumption and improving plant reliability.

FedEx rejects offer from UPS to acquire TNT assets on block for competition clearance US delivery firm FedEx Corp (NYSE:FDX) has rejected domestic sector player United Parcel Service Inc’s (NYSE:UPS) proposal to sell it certain assets of TNT Express NV (AMS:TNTE) as UPS tries to win clearance for its acquisition of the Dutch courier, the Financial Times reported today. FedEx would not start serious negotiations unless a deal would involve a larger share of the Dutch firm’s operations, the paper said. UPS and TNT announced in November 2012 a proposed offload of assets amid worries voiced by the European competition body in relation to the acquisition. The assets cover units of TNT in at least 16 EU states. In March 2012, UPS agreed to take over TNT in a transaction valuing the Dutch firm at some EUR5.16bn (USD6.77bn), which it has said it would bankroll with existing cash and new debt. source : financial-news.co.uk

Right now, we’re focused on working in partnership with companies who want to be ahead of the curve with their commitment to sustainability. So, that includes an increasingly wide range of businesses who understand that sustainability can pay for itself. The bottom line is that throwing things away costs money – and the bigger the business, the greater the costs. Compared to a single trip cardboard box, a Notbox will make 20 or more trips so it’s easy to see how the savings can ramp up.” The North American market as a whole is very conscientious and well informed about environmental issues and consumers are looking for sustainable alternatives to old concepts. Practising environmentally responsible methods is recognized as sound corporate management, she said. Slaughter continued: “We’re in a position to deliver a reusable and sustainable packaging product that reduces waste at the point of delivery for business-to-business transactions.” source : packagingeurope.com

The installation has been developed to support future changes to operational requirements and enable the upgrade of the installed materials handling system. As a result, the facilities initial volume can be increased to over three million items per week over the coming years. DMF Projects worked in partnership with the main contractor, along with other key suppliers, to effectively plan the construction process to meet the strict deadlines of Clipper Logistics and its customer. As a result, the mezzanine floor installation was completed in just 20 weeks, two weeks ahead of schedule.

Clipper Logistics makes space with DMF Projects Clipper Logistics has teamed up with DMF Projects to create almost half a million square feet of additional warehousing space at its recently opened distribution centre at Wynard Park, near Billingham in the Tees Valley. The distribution centre has been developed to house a hanging garment operation for a leading retailer that will initially handle over 2 million items per week, as well as creating additional space for new third-party logistics contracts. DMF supplied a 3 tier mezzanine solution that forms an integral part of the materials handling solution and provides storage for approximately 1 million garments per floor. DMF Projects provided a complete design and build solution including the supply and installation of the floors and staircases, as well as working closely with Clipper Logistics to develop the necessary fire strategy. The mezzanine structure covers a floor area of 125 metres by 121.5 metres within the facility with each of the three levels providing a total decked area of approximately 14,600 sq m, creating an overall storage and processing area equivalent to 11 football pitches.

Phil Houghton, Business Implementation Manager at Clipper Logistics commented: “We needed a distribution centre that could handle garment volumes that are expected to grow exponentially over the next few years, whilst providing added space for other new business growth. The effectiveness of the solution has meant our retail customer has the infrastructure in place for its current and future requirements, enabling them to postpone a major, planned capital development. By working in partnership with leading specialists such as DMF Projects we have been able to maximise capacity and meet our precise operational requirements.” Derek Scott, Sales Director of DMF Projects said: “Using our thorough understanding of the operational and commercial requirements of the apparel industry, we have delivered a highly-efficient solution that will enhance the work methods within the distribution centre. We worked closely with Clipper Logistics and its key suppliers to meet their precise space requirements now and in the future.” The distribution centre has been developed on a 22-acre site with a warehouse footprint of 32,000 sq m. The facility includes 43,000 metres of running rails for clothes to flow around the building along, with storage capacity for almost four million hanging items. source : industrytoday.co.uk

UPS/TNT decision “a blow to free markets” The lack of clarity over the future of TNT Express, UPS in Europe or indeed the European express market appears to owe much to the European Commission (EC) following its decision to prohibit the proposed acquisition of TNT Express by UPS. What appeared to be a straight-forward – if rather large – deal to acquire TNT Express was made much more complicated by the behaviour of the European competition authorities, not least in the nature of their communications. That UPS has abandoned the bid, despite the hurdle of a €200m termination fee, illustrates the magnitude of the obstacles that UPS perceived it was faced with to make the takeover work. The pivot of the negotiations revolved around the competition authorities of the European Commission. The logic of its objections appeared to focus on the number of competitors in the marketplace. The Commission hinted that the removal of TNT Express would reduce the level of competition in the express parcel market. In suggesting remedies for this problem, they were drawn into dismembering the TNT and UPS network, a task which was doomed to fail as such assets are only worth anything as part of a network. It was unclear if the EC truly grasped this point. It was also unclear if they fully understood the complexities of express market, composed of several different markets with only limited interdependence. All of this was compounded by poor communication and a severe lack of transparency. Joel Ray, Head of Consultancy at Transport Intelligence, commented: “It is hard to see what the EC sought to achieve through the negative stance they took to this deal. Their decision making process looks flawed, caused by a fundamental lack of understanding of the industry. It seems to have been driven by a desire to engineer a market structure through political motivations. European shippers would have gained from the acquisition through a strong new road and air based player.

This decision has set the market back many years, and risks reducing competition, not increasing it.” Of the main market players, TNT Express is now in the most uncomfortable position. The company stated today that it will concentrate on the “execution of strategy”. However, it has tacitly admitted that its businesses outside Europe have poor prospects and its core European business will have to work hard just to sustain its already squeezed margins. Normally it might be suggested that TNT Express would be vulnerable to takeover, however for TNT Express the problem is the reverse. What investor or trade buyer would want the company now? One possible candidate would be FedEx. It may be quietly happy that its rival’s strategy has been frustrated, yet the prospects of a bid for TNT Express, possibly at a lower price than that of UPS, might also seem obstructed by the same logic that terminated the UPS offer. UPS, in contrast, has received a set-back to its corporate strategy, although it is hardly a serious one. The company has huge financial fire power and will be able to consider alternative acquisitions in Europe should it wish to do so. Assuming this is regarded as a worthwhile prospect, the potential targets include GLS, which has a smaller, yet not dissimilar, road network to TNT Express. Yet, some people at UPS may be regarding the failure of the bid a relief, with middle management in Atlanta and elsewhere nervous about the prospect of integrating TNT Express. The European express market is now left with a series of smaller, comparatively weak players, two strong yet frustrated players in FedEx and UPS and a very powerful pan-European and intercontinental competitor in the form of DHL. Indeed it is DHL which is probably the big winner out of this. The prospect of UPS creating a strong capability in DHL’s home market can never have been welcome and now it appears to have gone for good. source : transportintelligence.com

EU SuperGreen project promotes eco-friendly developments in European logistics industry

Companies and institutions involved in the EU’s SuperGreen project showcased their results at the final plenary workshop in Gothenburg, Sweden, today. DB Schenker is a partner of the project, which seeks to make European freight logistics more environmentally friendly. As part of the project, which began in 2009, 22 partners selected nine strategic transportation routes in Europe to analyze their infrastructure, identify bottlenecks and research planned information and communication technology and intermodal transportation options. Indicators were developed to show the effects of the infrastructure elements and make it possible to compare the routes in terms of emissions (greenhouse gases and pollutants), cost, delivery times and flexibility. Additional research questions will help generate ideas for how routes can be used more sustainably for inner- and trans-European traffic. As a SuperGreen partner, DB Schenker Logistics was involved in a variety of subprojects, where it drew on its experience from its own innovations, including the Trans-Eurasia rail route, the DB SCHENKERsmartbox to make container shipping more secure, and the EcotransIT World emissions calculator. source : deutschebahn.com

Logistics leader HOYER back on board with Huntsman

The international networking strategy pursued by HOYER, the internationally active Hamburg-based group, has proven itself again with a contract for a major chemicals client: international chemicals group Huntsman has transferred the polyurethane logistics business at its Netherlands and Italy branches at short notice to HOYER and two other forwarding agencies. For HOYER alone, this amounts to annual volume of 85,000 tonnes. This major contract is of strategic significance for HOYER: Huntsman has chosen to work with the market leaders in isocyanates and polyol transport. In addition to its widespread European presence, the decisive factors in HOYER’s favour in winning the contract were its expertise in intermodal transport and the sustainable characteristics of its lightweight, modern equipment in cutting down on CO2 emissions. HOYER will be operating bulk transport from the Netherlands mainly to Ukraine, Russia, the Baltic states, Scandinavia, France, Great Britain and to Italy. The Italian branch will be serving production plants in France, Spain and Portugal. It will be ringing the changes between road haulage, goods rail and ship transport, for Huntsman regards the ecological slant of its new logistics provider as of prime importance. source : hoyer-group.com

Warehouse Technology Group events offers wide appeal to logistics consumers The Warehouse Technology Group (WTG) has enjoyed a successful year during 2012, expanding its membership and hosting two successful events which attracted professionals from across the logistics industry.

Asda transforms retail distribution with integrated Isotrak real-time system Asda will soon complete a major two-year project to innovate its retail distribution operation using a unique Isotrak vehicle-tracking equipped transport optimisation solution. Using the fully-integrated transport optimisation and execution system called Total Transport Solution (TTS), which includes Isotrak’s real-time transport plan execution and management technology, Asda has implemented a new regional distribution structure. With the system, Asda has been able to improve delivery services to its stores, make better use of driver resources, ensure route compliance and reduce operational costs. Asda also used this project as an opportunity to standardise all transport office practices and procedures that has led to simplification and increased efficiency within this traditionally challenging environment. “Asda transport has been completely transformed to provide new efficiencies across the board. The Isotrak-equipped TTS has enabled this and is providing significant improvements in the way we plan and manage our resources and in how we plan more than 18,000 store deliveries a week using our 900 strong fleet. The results of this business change are on-time delivery improvements to the stores, optimisation of our driver and vehicle resources and greater route compliance, which is also reducing mileage, fuel costs and emissions,” says Chris Hall, National Transport Manager, Asda. “We have moved away from individual planning for each distribution centre and have created seven planning regions across the UK that provide a clear differentiation between regional planning to maximise geographical resources and local execution for compliance to plan and accountability for store service. There are 21 DCs within the regions two in Scotland, three in the North East, four in the North West, three in Yorkshire, four in the Midlands, three in the South West and two serving the South East. It is true to say that this would be impossible to do without an effective system and process.”

The WTG comprises 19 leading suppliers of technology and equipment to the logistics sector, and is committed to the ongoing development of technology to improve standards of productivity and efficiency across the industry. Each member company has provided its products and expertise for use in the Logistics Innovation and Research Centre (LRIC) in Middleton, Manchester. The two events, in May and October, brought together more than 200 logistics professionals to hear about the latest industry developments and network with potential suppliers. The events also gave WTG partners the chance to showcase their products including one of its new partners, Codeway, who exhibited its automatic two-side pallet labelling machine and a range of RFID system solutions.

October’s event focused on ‘Innovation in Logistics’ and featured a keynote presentation from Unipart Logistics’ Head of Supply Chain Innovation, Anand Lakhani. Taking place at LRIC, the event generated considerable visitor interest, as well as some spin off benefits for member companies. The success of the events highlights the growing prominence of the WTG as an industry group whose events represent a departure from current industry offerings. Unlike the traditional trade show or sales-led speed-date events, WTG open days are informal sessions which focus on ‘show and tell’ and offer relaxed, impartial advice to help industry professionals make informed purchasing decFurther events will soon be announced for 2013, which will also take place at the LRIC and utilise the centre’s wide range of facilities and equipment to illustrate the continuing technological developments being made for the industry by the Group’s partners. As an operational 20k sq ft. warehouse, LRIC is a multi-functional centre designed to test new products, teach experienced logistics workers new skills and give new participants the skills they need.

It provides a realistic commercial warehouse setting where different technologies interact and can be tested and proved by both experienced and novice learners handling and storing live freight. Used extensively by work-based learning provider Mantra Learning, it allows practical workplace scenarios to be created for vocational training courses provided to public and private enterprises. “Our bi-annual open days and exhibitions are becoming better attended each time and provide a useful forum for discussion and networking. The most recent event was very successful and I would strongly advise anyone involved in logistics and the supply chain to take the time to attend the next event in 2013.” source : wtglive.co.uk

Chris Hall says the system was the right choice for this step-change project being a fully configurable, off-the-shelf solution. “This is a proven solution for retail distribution operations that have large fleets. We have been able to take a standard solution and configure it to our specific requirements. This is a step up from our original Paragon planning system and it combines routing, scheduling and resource optimisation with Isotrak’s vehicle tracking and transport execution and management. It gives us full visibility of the entire operation and this has been instrumental in the success of this project.” source : equities.com

SAFETY WATCHDOG CALLS FOR NEW AIRFREIGHT FIRE RULES The U-Freight Group (UFL) notes that the National Transportation Safety Board in the US has recommended changes to airfreight rules following publication of its investigation of three major cargo plane fires. UFL understands that NTSB has called for new Federal Aviation Administration rules requiring better early detection of fires inside cargo containers, development of fire-resistant containers and requiring active fire-suppression systems on all freighter aircraft. Detection, suppression and containment systems would give crews more time and options, said the NTSB, citing the examples of the three cargo fire accidents investigated, in Dubai, North Korea and PhiladelGAC Packaging Solutions, part of leading global shipping, logistics and marine services provider GAC Group, has announced the launch of a new ecologically-friendly and costeffective packaging solution for liquid cargo transportation. The ‘g-drum’ is a reusable, collapsible 208 litre (55 US gallon) drum with a ‘bag-in-a-box’ design that uses a product-specific flexible internal liner bag made from 3-ply Food & Pharmaceutical grade polyethelyn (PE) film to store not only liquid cargoes but also for dry flowable or high viscosity products. Developed and patented by International Liquid Packaging Solutions Pte Ltd (ILPS), g-drums provided by GAC Packaging Solutions deliver up to 10% savings in overall operational costs compared to traditional steel drums.

phia, where fires quickly grew out of control, leaving the crew with little time to get the aircraft on the ground. The NTSB added that the materials used in cargo containers made fires worse and manufacturers or regulators had paid little attention to developing fire-resistant versions. The report also recommended improved fire suppression systems on cargo planes, echoing recommendations made in 2007. For more information about U-Freight’s airfreight forwarding activities contact your local office. source : ufreight.com

The g-drum really fits that ethos. It is a fantastic product for customers transporting and storing liquid bulk cargoes, offering a much more efficient, cost-effective, safe and environmentally-friendly way of transporting large volumes of liquids.” source : ameinfo.com

GAC unveils eco packaging solution

As the internal liner bag is changed between each cargo load, the risk of contamination of sensitive commodities such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals or chemicals is significantly reduced. Customers also benefit from lower operating costs as g-drum eliminates the need for pre-conditioning and post-cleaning disposal, and reduces responsible care premiums. Christer Sjödoff, GAC Group Vice President - Solutions, says: “The principle underpinning GAC Solutions is to develop and bring to market innovative solutions to meet our customers’ changing needs. www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol. 03 / III | JAN - FEB 2013

PORT & TERMINALS

Cavotec wins shore power equipment orders at Port of Los Angeles grid-generated electrical power quickly and easily. “These, and other shore power projects on which we are currently working, are a reminder of the growing trend, especially in the US and Europe, towards tighter legislation regulating emissions at ports. We continue to work closely with our partners to ensure that ports meet their environmental targets,” Thompson adds.

Global engineering group Cavotec has won substantial multiple orders for its innovative Alternative Maritime Power (AMP)

shore-to-ship electrical power systems at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA). These projects follow several orders for similar systems throughout California. “These orders are the latest in a collaboration with local partners and POLA that spans many years, and underlines Cavotec’s role as an established supplier of shore power equipment in the US and globally,” says Rob Thompson, West Coast Manager Cavotec USA Inc.

Cavotec will supply a large number of “Easy Lift” Access Covers and Shore Power Outlet Connection boxes for four separate container terminals at the Port. These orders include equipment for POLA berths 228, 401-406, 100-102, 121128 and 212-216. Cavotec’s innovative “Easy Lift” Access Covers are safer for personnel to operate than many existing alternatives. An example of the cross-implementation of technology between Cavotec Market Units, these systems were first developed for use at airports and other aviation related applications. The units avoid operator stress and injury by reducing lift weights to a minimum. They are built into the quayside to enable vessels to connect to

Cavotec AMP systems enable vessels to switch off their engines while docked and to connect to shore side electricity. Services such as power supply for reefer containers, lighting, heating, food preparation and cargo handling are then run directly from the port. Switching off ships’ engines and connecting to grid-generated electricity reduces fuel consumption and dramatically cuts particulate matter emissions, thus helping improve air quality in ports and surrounding communities. Cavotec engineers and naval architects have pioneered several AMP solutions including shipbased systems housed in shipping containers, landbased vault versions and mobile units. The Group’s shore power systems are increasingly widely used at ports on the US west coast, as well as in Canada, Europe and the Far East. The first Cavotec AMP system became operational in Sweden in 1984. source : cavotec.com

growth of 1.6 per cent. Shenzhen ports handled 22.94 million TEU last year. A report by Alphaliner attributes Hong Kong’s weaker results to mainly the drop in mid-stream volumes, which shrank by 19.3 per cent to 5.62 million TEU, its lowest level in over a decade. On the other hand, the Hong Kong’s main Kwai Tsing terminals held on to most of their volumes last year, with 17.47 million TEU handled compared to 17.42 million TEU in 2011. Hong Kong’s performance highlights that the city’s terminals are continuing to lose ground to other south China ports in the Pearl River Delta as overall growth slows in the region.

Hong Kong world’s No 3 box port ahead of Shenzhen, but volume falls 5.3pc HONG KONG’s port is losing ground to neighbouring ports in south China after posting a 5.3 per cent drop in container throughput in 2012 compared to the previous year at 23.09 million TEU. However disappointing, the result was good enough to hang on to its third place ranking, beating the port of Shenzhen across the border, which achieved slight year-on-year 22

The aggregate container volume handled at the three main Pearl River Delta ports of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou fell by one per cent yearon-year in 2012. Guangzhou was the best performer recording traffic growth of 2.2 per cent in 2012 to total 14.74 million TEU.

43 vessels in campaign for cleaner

Trond Sjursen, Head of European Operations at Höegh Autoliners, said: “The Port of Gothenburg environmental campaign is a way for us to reduce our environmental footprint. This is an ongoing part of our operations. Switching to low-sulphur fuel is costly but the environmental campaign has made it easier for shipping lines to change.” Maersk Line, Broström Tankers Sweden AB, Topoil, OW Bunker and Stena Oil have also joined the campaign.

An increasing number of shipping lines are joining the Port of Gothenburg campaign for improved fuel quality. The latest member is Höegh Autoliners, which has registered seven vessels for participation in the campaign. The campaign will continue throughout the whole of 2013. Since 2011, the Port of Gothenburg has been running a campaign for a cleaner marine environment. The campaign means that vessels that switch to low-sulphur fuel when operating in the Gothenburg port area will receive financial compensation. To date, six shipping lines with 43 vessels have joined the campaign, resulting in substantial environmental gains. During 2012, the campaign is expected to contribute to a reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions in Gothenburg by 100 tonnes, which corresponds to nearly 20 per cent of the total emissions from shipping in Gothenburg. This will result in a cleaner marine environment and reduced particle emissions into the atmosphere. The latest company to join the campaign is the Norwegian owned ro-ro operator Höegh Autoliners, which calls at the Port of Gothenburg every other week.

The Port of Gothenburg has levied a charge for many years on vessels with more than 0.5% sulphur in the fuel. In 2011, the Port Authority decided that revenue deriving from this part of the port charge would be reinvested in environmental campaigns. The campaign for cleaner marine environment will continue throughout 2013, during which time the port hopes that more companies will join the scheme. Åsa Wilske is Senior Manager, Sustainability at the Port of Gothenburg: “Through this campaign we are seeking to encourage shipping lines to switch to low-sulphur marine fuel. We now hope that even more companies will join the campaign during 2013.” The campaign was designed in consultation with the Gothenburg Shipbrokers’ Association, environmental organisations and several of the port’s customers. source : mynewsdesk.com

Colombia Grain announces major expansion of Portland facility

Port of Portland Commission approves 25-year extension to current lease of grain handling facility paving the way for US$45 million expansion Columbia Grain Inc. will invest as much as $45 million over the next two-and-a-half years to expand its Portland grain handling facility after securing a 25-year extension to its current lease with the Port of Portland Commission to operate the port’s Terminal 5. The expansion of the terminal will see the addition of new storage, cleaning, transporting and inventory management systems, and will allow the company to increase its corn and soya bean exports. The works are expected to be completed within 30 months, according to the Portland Business Journal. Under the terms of the new lease agreed with the Commission on Wednesday, Columbia Grain will pay the US port $1,045,206 each year for the tenancy on top of an annual wharfage fee dependent on the tonnage handled at the facility. Rent fees will increase every five years, while wharfage fees will rise annually in line with a formula

based on the Consumer Price Index. “We are excited to extend our Terminal 5 ground lease, and this would not be possible without the Port of Portland’s leadership and advocacy to deepen the Columbia River channel from 40 to 43 feet,” said Columbia Grain CEO, Tom Hammond. “In addition, the Port, BNSF Railway, Union Pacific and Columbia Grain have and will make significant investments in rail and facility expansion to insure that Terminal 5 remains competitive in the future.” Colombia Grain has occupied Portland’s Terminal 5 since 1984, and has invested around $18 million in the upgrade of the 43-acre facility during its tenancy. Colombia Grain’s current release was due to expire in 2014. source : colombia.infonary.com

World’s largest quay cranes set for London Each crane can pick up containers 25 rows across deck, beyond the Gateway

width of the world’s largest container ship. Tim Halhead, London Gateway operations director said: “The size of the cranes future proofs the port, allowing London Gateway to handle the next generation of ultra-large container ships. These cranes are among the most advanced in the industry, assisting our operatives to deliver a reliable and consistently high level of productivity.” The semi-automated cranes allows quick and efficient handling of containers as well as being connected directly to the Terminal Operating System, which tracks the containers and sends work orders to the crane operator. The port will start operations on the first berth in Q4 of this year with five quay cranes and two rail mounted gantry cranes provided by ZPMC. Cargotec will provide 10 automatic stacking cranes and 18 straddle carriers for the first berth.

At a height of 138 metres, the world’s largest quay cranes have set sail for the London Gateway container port. Taller than the London Eye, the first three cranes manufactured by Shanghai’s Zhenhua Port Machinery Company (ZPMC), have started their journey from China.

London Gateway says it will bring significant savings to importers and exporters cutting delivery costs by an estimated £59 per container to the North-West and Midlands and £189 per container for London and the South East. source : vertical.net

Terminals Emmerich and Neuss joined InlandLinks

ganised in the VITO (Dutch Inland Container Terminal Organisation) participates in InlandLink which is an initiative of the Port of Rotterdam Authority and developed further in cooperation with VITO. Now. The concept is introduced in Germany and Belgium.

This brings the total number of terminals to thirty: 26 in The Netherlands, 3 in Germany and 1 in Belgium. In 2012 the ports of Emmerich and Neuss together handled some 850,000 TEU.

Rotterdam expects to see container flows triple in the next 25 years. Due to the growth in world trade, the favourable geographic location and the increase in very large container ships, each with a capacity in the region of 20,000 units. Of the total of some 30 million TEU handled in 2035, approx. 2 million are expected to be shipped in and out using smaller vessels from and to European ports. Some 18 million TEU will travel to and from the hinterland via intermodal transport. For this flow, InlandLinks should give insight in better and more sustainable connections.

InlandLinks is the online platform for container terminals in the hinterland, offering inter modal services to/from Rotterdam.

Huanghua port saw two 400,000-container capacity terminals start operating at the beginning of 2012. They handled a total of 102,000 containers for the whole year - a record for new terminals in China. By contrast, container throughput processed by all Chinese ports in 2012 jumped 8 percent from a year earlier to 146 million containers, a growth rate about 4 percentage points lower than 2011. Officials at Huanghua attributed the solid performance to its key geological location, which can substantially reduce logistics costs for energy companies, steel makers and coal exporters based in China’s coal-rich central region provinces.

Steady traffic reported by Huanghua port

The port has also implemented favorable policies to attract business and investment.

steady annual increases in cargo and container volumes.

The local government has provided subsidies, depending on freight volumes, for shipping companies that chose to ship their cargo through the port.

According to the latest data from the port, it handled a total of 130 million metric tons of cargo in 2012, an increase of 12.4 percent on 2011.

And since Oct 1, 2012, it has also exempted trucks carrying containers to and from the port from paying expressway tolls in the province.

Coal throughput jumped by 5 percent from a year earlier to 105 million tons, accounting for 81 percent of its total cargo flow.

Zhang Xueqing, the manager of China Shipping Container Lines Cangzhou Co Ltd, said that the policies had made the port more attractive to many companies.

Modest growth expected at Hong Kong airport in 2013 Hong Kong International Airport expects to achieve modest traffic growth in 2013, after reporting slower passenger traffic growth last year than in 2011. “We are cautiously optimistic about achieving mild traffic growth at Hong Kong International Airport in 2013,” said Airport Authority chief executive Stanley Hui Hon-chung. The euro zone’s debt problems and weak US economy will persist, but that will be offset by strong economic growth on the mainland and in Southeast Asia, which will boost traffic, he said. The airport reported 30,800 flight movements in December, a 5.1 per cent year-on-year increase and new monthly record. Passenger traffic grew 4.7 per cent to 56.5 million passengers last year, the airport said. That is slower than growth of 5.9 per cent in 2011. Thanks to a rebound over the past five months, the airport handled four million tonnes of cargo during the year, 2.2 per cent more than 2011. In contrast, cargo volume dropped 4.6 per cent in 2011. Passenger traffic grew 3.9 per cent last month, and cargo volume rose 7.6 per cent. The increase in passenger traffic was driven mainly by travel by Hong Kong residents, which rose 7 per cent from the same month last year. Growth in cargo throughput last month was primarily due to an 8 per cent year-on-year growth in exports. Cargo throughput to and from North America and the mainland outperformed throughput to other regions, the airport said. “Despite the challenging global economic environment, regional economic growth continued to drive traffic increases at Hong Kong International Airport in 2012,” Hui said. “This past year, we welcomed nine new airlines and expanded our global network to about 170 destinations.”

The airport is being sold by Heathrow Airport Holdings, formerly called BAA, which will continue to own London Heathrow, Southampton, Aberdeen, and Glasgow airports. Heathrow Airport Holdings had to sell Stansted as a result of a ruling by the Competition Commission.

The Competition Commission ruled in 2009 that the then BAA had to sell both Stansted and Gatwick due to concerns over a lack of competition between London’s three main airports, which, led by Heathrow, were all owned by the same company. BAA had already started proceedings to sell Gatwick, but launched a legal challenge against the order to sell Stansted. It ended this fight in August of last year, when it announced that Stansted was up for sale. Manchester Airport is the third busiest in the UK, seeing a total of 18.9 million passengers in 2011. Stansted is the fourth busiest, with 18 million passengers that year.

Passenger Decrease at Chopin Airport

Chopin Airport, Poland, handled 740,600 passengers in October 2012, with a 9.5% drop compared to the same month in 2011. The airport also recorded a fall in aircraft movements, with 7.9% less landings and take-offs year-on-year. Director Michał Marzec explained: “The reduced passenger traffic is a consequence of our strategic decisions taken many months ago. What we’re seeing right now is a result of the opening of an airport in Modlin and the decision of low-cost airline Wizz Air to move its operations there. Thanks to that the terminal is less busy and we can ensure the comfort of passengers, even with part of the building being closed due to modernisation.” He argued: “If you consider the total number of passengers handled at both Warsaw airports, it can be safely said that the overall traffic is growing considerably.” Since the beginning of 2012, the airport has handled 8.4 million passengers, with a 4% year-on-year growth from January to October.

The government of Jakarta, through one of its companies, will proceed with the planned construction of the Marunda international port in 2014, a state company executive said on Wednesday. Sattar Taba, the president director of Nusantara Bonded Zone (PT KBN), said the project had already received approval from the Jakarta Legislative Council early in 2011. “We will continue the devel-

opment of the Marunda port as an international port. We are at present still awaiting the go-ahead from the governor, and the construction would be from 2014-17,” Sattar said. Also to be developed in the same 436.8-hectare special economic zone as the Marunda port, an industrial center, a container storage area and other industrial facilities are slated. Sattar estimated that the investment needed for 2013 to begin developing the zone would stand at around Rp 1.2 trillion ($125 million). The project will be a venture between the central government, the Jakarta government and PT KBN. Sattar said that in a meeting with Governor Joko Widodo at City Hall, the capital’s leader welcomed

Jebel Ali Port sets new record handling over 500,000 vehicles

Global marine terminal operator DP World, on Monday announced that its flagship Jebel Ali Port has achieved a new milestone,

Jebel Ali Port sets new record handling

handling more than 500,000 vehicles in less than 12 months. This over 500,000 vehicles translates into almost one vehicle imported, exported or re-exported every minute of the day, 24x7. Achieved in the first 49 weeks of this year, the record exceeds the peak levels of 2008 when the number of vehicles handled through the port for the full year was 479,000. Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DP World, UAE Region, Mohammed Al Muallem, in a press release, said: “DP World is proud that our flagship Jebel Ali Port continues to play its full role as the premier gateway to the GCC region. The record number of vehicles that have passed through the port’s facility for roll-on roll-off (Ro-Ro) vehicle carriers reinforces the growth message for the UAE and the wider region that we are hearing from economic commentators such as the IMF. “We congratulate the management and employees at the General Cargo Terminal on an excellent job done in handling 500,000 vehicles.” General Cargo facilities at Jebel Ali include 30 berths and a total storage area of over 1.3 million square metres, comprising 1.2 million square 34

metres of open storage and 100,000 square metres of covered space. General Cargo, DP World, UAE Region, Tariq Bin Khalifa, Director, said: “Jebel Ali’s strength lies in the high degree of specialization and operational efficiencies we offer in handling diverse kinds of cargo. By handling over half a million vehicles in less than a full calendar year our Ro-Ro terminal has once again proved its world class capabilities and the importance DP World UAE Region continues to give to general cargo throughput alongside our container handling business.” DP World is expanding the capacity of Jebel Ali Port, with a brand new Container Terminal 3, and the expansion of Container Terminal 2, which are set to take total capacity of the port to 19 million TEU (twenty foot equivalent container units) by 2014. In the first nine months of 2012 DP World, UAE Region, handled almost 10 million TEU, 4.6% ahead of the same period last year. source : breitbart.com

Terex Port Solutions Commissions Tandem Lift Assistant ers not only increased levels of safety and convenience when performing tandem lifts, but also boosts productivity because they are permitted to use the maximum lifting capacity of both cranes.” Safe tandem lifts at maximum lifting capacity Terex Port Solutions provides customers with cargo handling cranes that have proven their capabilities when handling even the heaviest and bulkiest of loads in the power generation industry – in particular in connection with wind power. Using the Tandem Lift Assistant enables computer controlled synchronised operation of a pair of cranes by a single crane driver, with data being exchanged between the cranes via a secure wireless LAN.

TPT crane delivery an African first

At the end of 2012, Terex Port Solutions successfully commissioned a Tandem Lift Assistant at Rendsburg Port Authority GmbH, Germany. This means that the two Terex® Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes supplied to the customer in the course of 2012 – one Model 3 crane, variant G HMK 3405 with a maximum lifting capacity of 100 tonnes, and one Model 8, G HMK 8610 with a maximum lifting capacity of 150 tonnes – can now be used simultaneously to perform computer controlled tandem lifts. At the heavy-load terminal in Rendsburg Port, on the Kiel Canal in North Germany, these two cranes are responsible for handling project cargo, including particularly large, heavy components for wind turbines. The Tandem Lift Assistant is one of a number of smart crane features offered by Terex Port Solutions to its customers to enhance the productivity and safety of complex moves with Terex® Gottwald cranes. The system was installed on the two cranes at the end of November 2012, and successfully commissioned during a test move. In December, the cranes performed their first

commercial tandem lift when they handled a 236-tonne lock gate. Highest performing Mobile Harbour Crane in the region Rendsburg Port Authority intends to use Terex Port Solutions engineering to continue to expand its market position: “The Tandem Lift Assistant enables us to perform lifts with loads weighing up to 250 tonnes, which is more than any other crane in this region of Germany”, enthused Peter Klarmann, Managing Director of Rendsburg Port Authority GmbH, the owner of the two cranes. “Thanks to this capability, our cranes offer customers around the Kiel Canal a unique opportunity, which, of course, ensures us a competitive advantage when it comes to handling large, bulky and very heavy cargoes.” With regards to the two cranes at Rendsburg Port, the specialists at Terex Port Solutions were faced with a particularly tough technical challenge, as Joachim Meyer, Head of Design for Mobile Harbour Cranes at Terex Port Solutions explained: “For the Rendsburg Port order, we applied our Tandem Lift Assistant technology to a combination of one Model 8 and one Model 3 crane, in other words, two cranes of very different size and design. The system offers custom-

When developing the Tandem Lift Assistant, Terex Port Solutions focused particularly on the risk factors typically encountered in tandem lifts, such as unequal loads on two cranes, lateral pull, overturning moments and fluctuating speeds. If these and other factors are not adequately monitored and addressed using technical means, regulations stipulate a reduction in the permitted loading of the cranes involved in tandem lifts by 25 per cent or more. Terex Port Solutions’ Tandem Lift Assistant permits the use of two Terex® Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes to the maximum lifting capacity of the two machines, in compliance with the ISO 12480-1 standard which regulates safe crane operation. Smart crane features The Tandem Lift Assistant was presented to the market in mid-2011 together with the Vertical Lift Assistant, which was developed for cranes working individually. These two solutions and other smart crane features – such as the verifiable weighing system for Mobile Harbour Cranes, which was also introduced in 2011 – demonstrate the innovative nature and customer orientation of Terex Port Solutions. Smart crane features from Terex Port Solutions fulfil the highest priority needs of terminal operators for safety and efficiency. source : craneblogger.com

New block train service for General Motors Korea In total 118 containers were delivered to the new assembly plant in

GCS/Ruscon has introduced a block train service from the new Ust-Luga Container Terminal (ULCT) to Nizhniy Novgorod 400 km east of Moscow. Running over a distance of 1,100km, the service has been launched to serve the needs of General Motors (GM) Korea, which signed a contract in February 2011 with the Russian motor manufacturer GAZ to assemble its Chevrolet Aveo subcompact city car. Production of the Chevrolet Aveo began in December this year and the manufacturer is planning to assemble some 32,000 cars per annum. Ruscon loaded two pilot trains at ULCT at the beginning of December, transporting CKD parts that were shipped to Ust-Luga by GM Korea.

Nizhniy Novgorod, with 54 x 40ft and 2 x 20ft containers carried on the first train and 60 x 40ft and 2 x 20ft containers on the second. Ruscon is using its own flatcar wagons to form the trains and recently set up its own office in Ust-Luga. In addition to rail transportation, Ruscon is arranging port and customs transit formalities for the project while ocean transportation to ULCT is arranged by Maersk Line. The regular service will start this month and volumes are expected to build to around 800 x 40ft containers per month. Capacity on the trains will also be offered to third parties, including carriers and shippers who route cargo via Ust-Luga. source : worldcargonews.com merce as a result of investment in the modernization of its infrastructure, its expansion and an alliance with its natural surroundings. “The Panama Canal reaffirms its relevance in international commerce more than ever as a result of the decisions and actions that Panamanians have taken with regard to its management,” said Panama Canal Administrator Jorge Luis Quijano. Quijano highlighted that the Panamanian management model has enabled the efficient and safe operation of the Canal, allowing it to offer a world-class service. Furthermore, its sustainable and profitable management generates increasing contributions to Panama’s development. In 2007, the Panama Canal expansion project began as a result of a widespread approval by Panamanians in a national referendum. The Expansion Program will create a new lane of traffic along the Canal by building a new set of locks which will allow the transit of bigger ships with more capacity. After five years, the project has generated 28,690 direct jobs. On September 20, 2012, the awarded contracts totaled US$4.3 billion.

Canal Commemorates 13 Years of Successful Panamanian Administration On 31 December 2012, the Panama Canal celebrated 13 years under Panamanian administration.

As previously reported, both Bali’s and national foreign trade in 2012 experienced a decrease. The drastic slump in container services at Benoa port, Iwan added, was also due to the government’s fuel policy implemented in February last year, in which diesel fuel used by the shipping companies is no longer subsidized. Meanwhile, land container transport services are still enjoying subsidized fuel. “Our service per trip may be Rp 500,000 [US$51.50] costlier than the land service, but that cost is compensated for as there’s no congestion on the ocean route, unlike land routes,” said Iwan.

Container shipping drops by 50 percent at Benoa port Benoa port saw a decrease in customers using its container services in 2012 of almost 50 percent compared with the previous year. About 17,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers passed through Benoa harbor in 2012, far below the 26,000 TEU containers recorded in 2011. “We have only reached around 70 percent of our annual target. We have had this kind of decrease over the past two years,” general manager of Pelindo III Benoa, Iwan Sabatini, told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday. In 2010, the container transport service at Benoa recorded 33,000 TEU containers. Iwan believes that the unfavorable situation has been partly caused by the reduction in trade transactions between Bali and other regions and countries due to the global financial crisis.

“Regretfully, many customers still think that transporting containers via land is cheaper,” said Iwan. “They don’t understand, if their containers get stuck in traffic, their operational costs will bloat and they may experience losses if their products rot quickly,” he said. Iwan cited that almost 80 percent of the container vehicles passing through Bali were managed by businessmen based in East Java. “So, most of the revenue does not come to Balinese businessmen and society, while their traffic causes damaged roads and congestion. We have filed our complaints on this issue, but there’s no response from the government or the businessmen,” said Iwan. Head of Bali Industry and Trade Agency Ni Wayan Kusumawati acknowledged that most container uploading and unloading for export and import products to and from Bali was done at Tanjung Perak port in Surabaya, East Java. Kusumawati said that at present Benoa in Denpasar did not have a goods port status. “Customers have the choice of uploading and unloading goods at Tanjung Perak in Surabaya and then continuing their journey by sea. But apparently, most still prefer the land route,” she said. source : thejakartapost.com

PD Ports welcomes the world’s first purpose built wind turbine installation vessel into Hartlepool wind projects. The Teesside Offshore Windfarm Project, being developed by EDF Energy Renewables, requires the MPI Adventure to transport the 27 turbines, in particular the towers, Nacelles and blades, out to sea, some 1.5km off the shore of Redcar. This is expected to complete in early spring. Over 100 people are involved in the offshore construction programme, operating out of the project supply base established at Hartlepool. Jerry Hopkinson, PD Ports’ managing director, bulks, ports and logistics, said: “The arrival of the MPI Adventure highlights our capability to handle large, industry class offshore vessels at the Port of Hartlepool whilst further demonstrating our continued progression and growing strength in this sector.” Peter Robinso, MD, MPI Offshore Ltd, said: “MPI is delighted to be involved with this challenging project and look forward to completing the installation of 27 wind turbines in a safe and timely manner.

PD Ports has welcomed the world’s first purpose built wind turbine installation vessel into the Port of Hartlepool. This is first time PD Ports has handled a vessel of this size at the Port of Hartlepool. The MPI Adventure arrived at the Port in late December to commence work on the Teesside Offshore Windfarm Project, for which the Port of Hartlepool has been appointed as the main construction logistics hub. Described as the ‘next generation’ of wind turbine installation vessels, the arrival of the MPI Adventure adds further credibility to PD Ports’ ability to handle industry class vessels at Hartlepool, required for the size and scale of offshore

“MPI is a locally based ship and construction management organisation seen as premier installer of offshore windfarms. We are proud to be part of the PD Ports and EDF Renewable Energy teams in bringing this offshore renewable energy facility to Teesside.”

Less Profit in Sight as Maersk Overcapacity Hits Growth

European container-shipping operators such as A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S may benefit little from higher volumes next year as carrier lines battle to remain profitable amid overcapacity and weak demand. Global lines will ship the equivalent of 168 million 20- foot containers, an increase of 6.6 percent from 2012, according to London-based shipping-services company Clarkson Plc. Traffic on mainline AsiaEurope routes will lag global growth, rising 4 percent to 21 million 20-foot boxes as low European consumer demand limits orders. Economic weakness caused by the debt crisis in Europe, which accounts for more than a third of global trade, is putting pressure on earnings at shipping lines such as Copenhagen-based Maersk Line, the world’s largest, and CMA CGM SA. Further clouding the outlook, industry capacity will grow 7.5 percent next year, Clarkson says, undermining efforts to boost profit on Asia-Europe routes as earlier rate rises struggle to take hold. “Unless Europe has an unexpected recovery, growth volumes from Asia to Europe are likely to be low,” said Lars Jensen, chief executive officer of Copenhagen-based SeaIntel Maritime Analysis. “Consequently we expect the structural overcapacity to persist in 2013, leading to rapid cycles of price increases and price declines as carriers intermittently idle and re- activate tonnage.” World freight traffic growth probably slowed to 4.8 percent this year from 7.1 percent in 2011, according to Clarkson. East Asia-Europe volumes will decline 3.3 percent as European consumers struggle with fiscal austerity and economic uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crisis. Double Recessions The conomy of the 17-nation euro area shrank 0.1 percent in the third quarter as the region slipped into recession for the second time in four years. A gauge of services and manufacturing output in the euro area was at 47.3 in December, staying below the 50 mark that indicates contraction for an 11th month, London-based Markit Economics said on Dec. 14. The European Central Bank forecasts the economy will shrink 0.5 percent this year and 0.3 percent in 2013. The weakness of Europe’s economy and its debt turmoil is also affecting the rest of the world, curbing global trade growth to 2.5 percent this

year from 5 percent in 2011, according to the World Trade Organization’s September forecast. Gobal merchandise trade volume rose 2.7 percent in the first three quarters of 2012 from a year earlier, according to the Geneva-based WTO. By comparison, European Union exports were unchanged and imports posted a 2.7 percent drop during the same period. Emerging Markets Next year, global trade will expand 4.5 percent, the WTO forecast in September. World container growth in 2013 will be driven by trade on secondary routes, such as between northern and southern hemispheres and within Asia, as well as by Middle East and Indian volumes, according to Clarkson. “Shorter trade routes, more suited for smaller vessels, will become increasingly important as the growth of emerging- market demand for goods continues to outpace developed markets,” said Brandon Oglenski, an analyst at Barclays Plc in New York. “We believe supply fundamentals may improve over the next 12-18 months as container scrapping has picked up and the delivery schedule is set to run off to more manageable levels.” Maersk estimates “single-digit growth” in global container volumes in 2013, which “includes the possibility for marginal positive growth in Europe,” spokesman Hursh Joshi said in an e- mail response to questions. “Maersk is absolutely committed to maintaining capacity discipline” and “Maersk Line does not plan to offer any new capacity” on routes between Asia and Europe in 2013, Joshi said. Full Boxes Rates to ship a full 40-foot box from Shanghai, China’s busiest port, to Rotterdam, Europe’s biggest, have dropped 50 percent from a peak reached in May, according to Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd.’s World Container Index. Carriers will take delivery of ships capable of holding 1.4 million 20-foot boxes, or TEUs, increasing the total global supply to 17.7 million, according to Clarkson. The imbalance in demand and supply has damped Maersk’s shares, which have climbed 10 percent this year compared with a 14.5 percent gain in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. ’t handle them. source : gcaptain.com

Sydney plans light rail to Kingsford The estimated $A 1.6bn ($US 1.7bn), 12km line will link Circular Quay and Central Station via George Street, the Moore Park sporting and entertainment centre including the Sydney Cricket Ground and Allianz Stadium, Randwick Racecourse, and the University of New South Wales. The line will be constructed in parallel with a redesign of the bus network, which will reduce the number of buses entering the city centre during the morning peak by more than 220 per hour.

WITH the release of the final version of its NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan the New South Wales state government has announced that a new light rail line will be built through the centre of Sydney to serve the districts of Randwick and Kingsford.

Construction is expected to begin in 2014 and the government says that while the final project timetable is still being drawn up, early analysis suggests it will take five or six years to complete. The line will be funded from the transport budget, third party contributions and a PPP contract, although the timing of the project will be subject to PPP negotiations. Expansion of Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only existing line is underway with the 5.6km Inner West Light Rail Extension project from Lilyfield to Dulwich Hill, due to be completed in 2014.

Eurotunnel Publishes 2014 Network Statement Eurotunnel has published its Network Statement, the network reference document for Channel Tunnel access conditions. The Network Statement sets out the access conditions for the Channel Tunnel in 2014 for railway operators in a completely transparent form, providing them with everything they need to prepare their own transport services. Prepared following consultation with railway operators and trade associations(SNCF, Eurostar, Deutsche Bahn, SNCB, Veolia, Europorte, Rail Freight Group, …),infrastructure operators (RFF, HS1, Network Rail) and the Inter Governmental Commission (IGC), this Eurotunnel document takes as its priority the equal and non discriminatory treatment of all railway operators (passenger and freight).

which is valid for the period up until 2052, is essentially based upon “per passenger” charging, and evolves at a rate below the average inflation rate of the two countries concerned. Viewed in the light of the entirely privately funded Channel Tunnel, this tariff is comparatively lower than that applied by the neighbouring high speed networks. It has proved to be an effective tool which has enabled the significant development of the passenger traffic services across the Channel, soon to reach 10 million passengers per year. For rail freight trains, the tariff is modular to take account of the vagaries of the traffic, in particular the low speed of crossing (120kph through the Tunnel compared to 140kph or 160kph for other traffic), in order to make it more competitive against other modes of transport. source : reuters.com

High Speed rail traffic tariffs are defined in the “Railway Usage Contract” (RUC), signed between state-owned railways (The British Railways Board and SNCF) and Eurotunnel in 1987. This access contract,

ROAD TRANSPORT

Ervin Equipment Responds to Oil Boom

trailer is most commonly used in the north central, south central and western states, those areas currently involved in the oil-boom.

Ervin Equipment is expanding its supply services to the aggregates, asphalt, roadbuilding and oilfield industries by providing an expanded line of new and used bottom dump trailers. A long-time supplier of a variety of specialty trailers, Ervin has seen the demand for bottom dump trailers spike in recent months. To continue to serve the growing needs of its customer base as a single source supplier for all trailer requirements, Ervin is expanding its selection to include bottom dump trailers as well as exploring other units requested by customers in the oil boom areas. Bottom dump, or belly dump, trailers are popular in areas where terrain or other job site restrictions such as overhead obstacles may pose safety risks with traditional rear-dump trailers. This particular style of Talbert Manufacturing’s 40-ton lightweight trailer can be customized for customers who need to remain below the superload weight limit in states with 120,000-lb. (54,431 kg) gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) restrictions. Each state has separate laws surrounding superloads. Generally, once a truck reaches superload status, route surveys and engineering reviews are required on roads and bridges to ensure the superload can travel the desired route without causing a hazard. Even after the permit is issued, there are further restrictions regarding when the load can move, usually on weekdays during daylight hours. Further, a permit is commonly valid for one trip only. Given these rules, the need for escorts and the cost of permits, most operators strive to stay below superload level

“Bottom dump trailers are the top choice for operators in aggregate, roadbuilding and oil-field industries because they provide enhanced safety on uneven terrain and allow the operator to dump material in a linear heap while the truck is moving,” said John Connor, member of the tank and specialty trailer sales division at Ervin Equipment. Ervin specializes in fulfilling customer needs — whether the need be new or used trailers. Ervin regularly scouts and secures large supplies of the most demanded spec of trailers, making good quality used trailers available for its customer base and those looking for a low-cost way to enter a new market area, according to the manufacturer. Ervin Equipment partners with companies such as Gallegos Trailers and Construction Trailer Specialists (CTS). source : ervinusa.com

Talbert Manufacturing Introduces New 40-Ton Lightweight for all the states through which a load will travel. The 40-ton lightweight trailer can be designed for the transport of excavators, small to mid-sized dozers and other construction equipment, and it weighs just over 18,000 lbs. (8,164 kg). When paired with a truck, the unit can transport equipment at full capacity — up to 80,000 lbs. (36,287 kg) — while remaining under

the 120,000-lb. superload limit. To best accommodate the height of an excavator, Talbert can customize the trailer with a 22-in. (56 cm) deck height and a deck boom well. This 6 ft. (1.8 m) long recessed portion in the rear of the trailer is roughly 6 in. (15 cm) deep and plated for the bucket of an excavator. This lowers the overall height of the boom to ensure the load is a legal height. source : talbertmfg.com

STILL presents two new forklift truck models with load capacities of 4 to 8 tonnes.

STILL, the leading supplier for customised intralogistics solutions worldwide has now expanded its RX 70 family. With the RX 70-60/80 and the RX 70-40/50 the company presents the successor models for the popular R 70 series. The philosophy of these new trucks with load capacities of 4 to 8 tonnes is to combine power, precision, ergonomics and safety with a compact design for perfect turnover performance. These new STILL power packs with their unique combination of powerful industrial engines and proven diesel-electric drive technology allow high work speeds at low fuel consumption levels. The exact and sensitive control of the drive and the hydraulic system, in combination with five adjustable drive programmes makes efficient use of the available power. In each of the drive programmes the top speed, the acceleration and the deceleration grades can be individually set. This ‘glues’ the truck to the foot of the driver. The driver can handle the truck alone with the accelerator pedal, the service brake is almost not needed. source : still.de 48

Owing to their different lengths, and the fact that during transportation the load has to be distributed in accordance with the law, containers represent a challenge to hauliers. Either they include various container chassis in their fleet, or they use the new S.CF 40’ with sliding bogey which Schmitz Cargobull has now completely redesigned.

Ingenious Sliding Mechanism

The farmer would like to have an “egg-laying jackrabbit mule”, or an “all-inone device for every purpose” - but can’t. The haulage company is in a better position, however. For them there is the new S.CF semi-trailer container with sliding bogie from Schmitz Cargobull. With this it is possible to transport all standard 20’ to 40’ containers without difficulty, position 20’ containers flush with the rear for loading and unloading and drive it with the axle load placed ideally at the centre. Another advantage is that even with high-cube containers it is possible to achieve a legally-compliant overall height of four metres. The law and physics of driving stipulate a clear requirement for safe cross-border transport, where at least 25 percent of the vehicle weight must be on the drive axle of the semi-trailer tractor unit in order to ensure sufficient traction, and good handling, of the entire truck/trailer combination. The new S.CF 40’ with sliding bogie fulfils this requirement easily. source : cargobull.com

Scania’s driver station of the future

According to Anna Selmarker, Scania’s head of vehicle ergonomics, in the near future truck cabs will feature more and more functions and increasingly developed technology. “I think this will be the central focus for the driver environment in the future,” she says. “We can’t keep adding buttons, so more functions will be located on a screen-based format. “There will always be the need for the main functions to be permanently accessible. Some functions are needed so often, you will always have buttons for them. But for secondary functions, I think we will see systems that give the driver the right info at the right time, then store it away again.” source : scania.com

MAN driver assistance systems in successful test: lower fuel consumption, greater safety European field test euroFOT confirms positive effect of electronic driver assistance systems from MAN in real road traffic. The field test showed that MAN’s driver assistance systems not only increase safety in the daily traffic but also have positive effects on fuel consumption. Using adaptive cruise control (ACC), the trucks consumed an average of almost two percent less diesel fuel over the course of the test. MAN participated in the four-year research project with a total of 57 trucks belonging to 21 haulage companies. The trucks tested in European long-haul transport were equipped with the MAN adaptive cruise control and lane guard driver assistance systems and covered more than 7.5 million kilometres by the end of the field test in June this year. The test studied the effectiveness of electronic driver assistance systems in road traffic with respect to safety, the environment, utilisation and acceptance by drivers. There were three phases to the test: subsequent to the specification phase including pilot operation, the 16-month field test commenced. During this phase, an analysis of driving behaviour was conducted, first without assistance systems, then with adaptive cruise control and the lane guard system (LGS). source : mantruckandbus.com

Drama in the Sand Dune Stage Early in the Race

The course for January 7 took the contestants from Pisco to Nazca. The trucks first headed southeast from Pisco, raced a 243km SS near the Andes Mountains, and then reached Nazca via a 96km liaison segment. While this stage proceeded on the same Nazca-Pisco section as last year in the opposite direction, and parts of it appeared to have been exactly the same, the early half featured highly challenging sand dunes which gave the racers a hard time. In contrast to Buenos Aires and Mar Del Plata, the starting cities in previous races that started in Argentina, the southeastern region of Lima is made up of vast deserts. This has allowed the organizers to create a course that would wind through continuous desert right off the start line - a first since the race was relocated to South America. This is reminiscent of the Dakar Rally as it was held in Africa where contestants were essentially screened out of the race in the early stages. HINO TEAM SUGAWARA, which fields two HINO 500 Series trucks in the Trucks category, began their race again today with no big fuss. Car 2 crewed by Teruhito Sugawara and Hiroyuki Sugiura completed the dune sections without event to come in at 24th overall and top in its class for the SS, with an accumulated ranking of 25th overall and top in its class. source : hino-global.com

IRU Indices: Double dip recession for EU is confirmed despite warnings

The IRU Road Transport Indices, which allow the comparison of GDP growth, road freight transport volumes and new vehicle registrations in 58 countries* on a quarterly basis, confirm the 2012 forecast of a double dip recession for EU countries. The IRU Indices also forecast that in 2013, GDP and transport volume will stagnate before gradually picking up again. BRIC countries**, on the other hand, experienced a 5% increase in GDP and a 6% increase in transported tonnes over the same period and will continue outperforming the EU in 2013.

Following the recession in 2009, IRU Road Transport Indices show that the GDP has contracted again (double dip) by 0.3% in the EU in 2012. In 2013, economic growth is expected to stagnate and then gradually return, with some further strengthening in 2014. EU road transport performance, measured in transported tonnes, stagnated in 2012 and will only slightly increase by 0.7% in 2013. However, next year’s stagnation across Europe masks a north-south divide, in which the economy ekes out slightly positive figures along an arc from Finland to France, while contraction grips Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. IRU Head of Sustainable Development, Jens Hügel, said “These figures confirm the IRU Road Transport Indices forecast for 2012.” He also recalled “At the beginning of 2012 the industry warned that the EU would be heading for a double dip recession and stressed that this recession was avoidable if lessons were learned from the BRIC countries. It is clear that EU Governments did not acknowledge the industry’s advice.”

FTA publishes 51st Yearbook of Road Transport Law the guide to road transport legislation, which is sponsored by Shell. The Yearbook is designed to keep operators fully aware of all aspects of road transport legislation, is presented in a clear and concise way, and also includes information on other relevant areas, such as employment and health and safety. The 2013 edition, written and compiled by FTA’s team of transport legislation experts, is updated with The Freight Transport Association has recent changes to road transport published the 51st edition of its Yearbook law, such as new operator licensof Road Transport Law, ing rules, driver licensing, weights and dimensions, construction and

Indeed, when comparing the 2011 and 2012 figures, BRIC countries have outperformed EU countries in terms of GDP and growth in tonnes transported and will continue doing so in 2013. In fact, GDP in the BRIC countries rose by 7% in 2012 and road transport operators carried 6.5% more volume (in tonnes) in 2012. Furthermore, GDP will increase in 2013 by 6.3% and road transport operators will carry 6.7% more tonnage in 2013. Mr Hügel concluded that, “In light of the economic figures, it comes as no surprise that in 2012 EU transport operators were reluctant to invest in new vehicles resulting in a stagnation of new vehicle sales, compared to transport operators in the BRIC countries who continued to invest. The fact that BRIC countries are outperforming the “Old Economies” across the board results from their understanding that both systemic innovation and major investment in production tools, including in small and medium-sized enterprises that provide 85% of jobs, such as road transport companies, are instrumental in expediting real economic growth.” source : iru.org

Aisha Hayatuddini, marketing manager, Shell Commercial Fleet, said: “Compliance is a core pillar of Shell’s business principles, and I can’t stress enough just how important and useful the FTA Yearbook of Road Transport Law is for anyone who runs a road transport fleet - it is definitely the most thumbedthrough guide on most desks and Shell is delighted to be sponsoring the 2013 edition.” One free Yearbook is delivered to every FTA member during January.

AIR TRANSPORT IATA and European Aviation Partners Launch European Action Plan for Preventing Runway Excursions In 2011, 13% of all accidents in European airspace were runway excursions. Globally, runway excursions are 19% of all accidents.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) joined with 16 other aviation stakeholder organizations

“Since 2008 IATA has made reducing runway excursions a priority. This Action Plan is the latest element in our global effort, complementing the Runway in developing a European Action Plan Excursion Risk Reduction (RERR) for the Prevention of Runway Excur- toolkit which was revised in 2011.

and Infrastructure. IATA’s contributions to the Action Plan include: Best practices and recommendations identified in the preparation of the RERR toolkit. IATA member airline expertise in preventing runway excursions gathered through their Safety Management Systems (SMS). Although the focus of the Action Plan has been on preventing runway excursions in the European region, it is acknowledged that runway excursions are a global problem and therefore the content of the Action Plan reinforces the

need to comply with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provisions for the safety of global aviation. “Teamwork is critical. The Action Plan ensures that all the players in Europe are aligned and focused on a common set of tools to improve runway safety. Along with making European aviation even safer, it sets a good example of cooperation that could be taken-up in other regions,” said Matschnigg. source : iata.org

Boeing Delivers Indian Air Force’s 1st C-17 to Flight Test

Boeing delivered the first of 10 C-17 Globemaster III airlifters for the Indian Air Force (IAF). India’s first C-17 will now enter a U.S. Air Force flight test program at Edwards Air Force Base in Palmdale, Calif. Boeing is on track to deliver four more C-17s to the IAF this year and five in 2014. “The C-17 met the stipulated airlift requirements of the Indian Air Force when it flew field evaluation trials in India during June 2010,” said Air Commodore Sanjay Nimesh, Air Attaché at the Embassy of India. “It was exciting to see the C-17 fly again, this time with Indian Air Force markings, as the airlifter completed its first-flight milestone on Jan. 11. We look forward to the day that the first IAF C-17 flies over India.” “The C-17’s ability to operate in extremely hot and cold climates; transport large payloads across vast ranges; and land on short, austere runways makes it ideal for India’s airlift needs,” said Nan Bouchard, Boeing vice president and C-17 program manager. “We value our continued partnership with India and the U.S. government and will provide dedicated support as India’s first C-17 enters flight testing.”

India’s Ministry of Defence signed an agreement with the U.S. government on June 15, 2011, to acquire 10 C-17 airlifters, making India the largest C-17 customer outside the United States. The governments finalized the Foreign Military Sales contract for the airframe on June 6, 2012. Boeing has delivered 250 C-17s worldwide, including 218 to the U.S. Air Force active duty, Guard and Reserve units. A total of 32 C-17s have been delivered to Australia, Canada, India, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the 12-member Strategic Airlift Capability initiative of NATO and Partnership for Peace nations. Boeing will support the IAF C-17 fleet through the Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program (GISP) Performance-Based Logistics contract. The GISP “virtual fleet” arrangement ensures mission readiness by providing all C-17 customers access to an extensive support network for worldwide parts availability and economies of scale. This brings spares and support closer to the point of use and makes the C-17 more affordable to own and operate. source : boeing.com

Boeing Offers New Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Software for any EFB Hardware

Boeing announced that Air France will deploy Boeing EFB system software on their 747-400 fleet

in the second quarter of 2013. This is the first Boeing software solution designed to work on third-party Class 2 hardware, already used extensively at Air France. The ability to have a common EFB look and feel across an airline’s entire fleet, regardless of EFB hardware provider, provides airlines with significant operational savings. “The use of Boeing EFB software on third-party hardware allows us to upgrade our older aircraft affordably and operate them more efficiently. We appreciate that with Boeing, we get not only industry-

leading information services solutions, but also a dedicated focus on our unique business needs,” said Jacques Verriere, Vice President, Flight Operations Engineering for Air France. Boeing’s previous EFB offerings were paired hardware and software solutions. The software-only offering is the result of a transformation in Boeing’s EFB strategy. “Our customers tell us that our EFB solutions are the best on the market. However, given the ever-accelerating pace of change in technology and the wide variety of our customers’ business needs, we have begun offering a wide array of flexible solutions,” said John Maggiore, director of Airline. source : boeing.com

Methanation reactor from MAN produces Audi e-gas (Audi e-gas) into the public natural-gas network starting summer 2013. The core component of the plant, which is being built in cooperation with equipment manufacturer SolarFuel GmbH in Werlte (Emsland region), is an MAN Diesel & Turbo methanation reactor. Construction and production of the e-gas plant unit that is around 16 meters high was constructed and produced by MAN’s specialists for chemical and physical reactors at its Deggendorf site. In December 2012, a heavy-duty transport took the ready-for-use tower to Werlte which is 782 kilometers away. Its ability to produce carbon neutral fuel from renewable electricity makes this facility special. Audi e-gas can be stored and transported with infrastructure currently available as it is nearly identical to fossilbased natural gas chemically speaking. As such, it can easily be distributed via the natural gas network as well as delivered to CNG stations.

Methanation reactor from MAN produces Audi e-gas

“This order stresses once more our competence in building chemical apparatus with the aid of which synthetic fuel can be produced,” said Dr. Josef Dachs, Head of MAN Diesel & Turbo’s site in Deggendorf. “Whether we are talking about the Pearl in Qatar, the largest gas-toliquids plant in the world operated by Shell, or Audi’s e-gas project in the Emsland: Our know-how is in demand worldwide when it comes to finding and providing solutions for the future’s mobility.”

While the change in energy policy is being discussed in many places, MAN and Audi are creating facts.

The dual electricity / gas principle of Audi’s e-gas project is a practical example of how to make good use of the wind energy excess on stormy days when the existing German grid is insufficient to carry the load. The Werlte facility will generate enough CO2-neutral e-gas to power 1,500 CNG cars over 15,000 kilometers every year.

He added that the company had voluntarily suspended production at Frade, the site of a deepwater oil leak, in March, and it is “working with regulatory agencies for a safe restart” according to a plan submitted in August. Transocean said in a statement that “another positive ruling has been made in favor of Transocean, which further supports our successful legal efforts to prove Transocean’s crew did nothing wrong in the Frade incident.” The company said it would continue to pursue “a complete and favorable” resolution to all litigation in Brazil.

Chevron’s Frade FPSO to Restart Production as Brazilian Court Dismisses Injunction

after a court dismissed an injunction that barred the oil company and contractor Transocean Ltd (RIG) from operating in the country.

The ban was enacted by a Brazilian court in a legal battle following a drilling accident at the Chevron-operated Frade field last November, when an estimated 3,700 barrels of crude oil seeped from cracks in the seabed.

Shell opens its largest grease plant worldwide in China Shell’s newest grease plant, located in Zhuhai, China, will make a range of Lithium, Lithium Calcium and Lithium Complex greases used mainly in passenger cars and industrial bearing lubrication. The plant, Shell’s largest, has a production capacity of 30,000 tonnes of greases a year, with the potential to be expanded to 40,000 tonnes a year. It is primarily designed to meet China’s growing demand for greases.

Paul Tobin, President of PKMJ, said: “We are delighted with today’s acquisition which provides us with an excellent platform from which to grow the comprehensive plant optimisation service that we already provide to our customers. Rolls-Royce is trusted to deliver excellence and we are proud to be a part of it.” Rolls-Royce supports a number of key phases of the nuclear programme, including providing advice to governments and operators, supply chain management, and manufacturing and technical engineering support.

The new grease plant’s opening ceremony was attended by Zhuhai Local Government Officials; senior Shell representatives; business partners and customers. Mark Gainsborough, Shell Executive Vice President for Shell Global Commercial, said: “I am pleased that we are starting off 2013 with this opening which builds on Shell’s strong heritage in the greases business. We have a track record as a pioneer in grease technology innovation, especially for extremely durable greases used in as high-speed trains, airplanes and racing cars.” The function of grease, like all lubricants, is to protect equipment. What differentiates greases from lubricant oils is that greases stay in place – particularly important in bearings in joints. Grease can stay in place because it contains a thickener. 70 years ago, Shell pioneered and patented the Lithium-thickener technology. It is now the world’s most popular grease thickener. source : shell.com

TECHNOLOGY Cimcorp 3D Shuttle to be launched at LogiMAT and IMHX

Cimcorp will reveal its latest innovation for storage and order picking at two exhibitions in the spring: LogiMAT 2013 in Stuttgart, Germany, and IMHX 2013 in Birmingham, UK.

ogy, the innovative feature of Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ is a shuttle device that is integrated into the gantry to transport required totes back and forth, allowing the robots to return to storage tasks sooner and thereby boosting efficiency.

Branded Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™, the new robotic system – which offers Six times more efficient highly efficient storage and retrieval of plastic crates, totes and trays required for goods-to-person order picking – will feature in a live Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ can make order picking six times more efficient demo on Cimcorp’s stand (stand no. 475 at LogiMAT and stand no. 17Q127 at IMHX) at the shows. Based on proven gantry robot technol- than a manual solution. Explains Jarno Honkanen, the company’s 64 www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol.03 / III | JAN - FEB 2013

Modular design With containers stored in stacks directly on the floor and the system being modular in design, the footprint of the system and the number of gantry robots can be varied to suit the precise throughput needs of each application. Use of a single technology with simple construction minimises maintenance costs and facilitates system extensions. In addition, as the robots are easily programmable, the solution offers unrivalled dynamism to meet changing flows of goods in the future. Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ can take care of a distribution centre’s entire operations or, alternatively, may operate as an ‘island’ of automation within a manual facility. Simple operation Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ creates randomly mixed stacks of totes on entry to the storage area, which are collected by one of the overhead robots and deposited on the floor. When a particular SKU is required to fulfil an order, a robot retrieves the nearest corresponding tote and deposits this on the shuttle device. This then travels along the gantry and transfers the tote to the outfeed conveyor, from where it is fed to the picking stations. Once picking from a tote is complete, it is conveyed back to the entry point to the storage area. Ideal for retail The new Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ solution is suitable for a wide variety of applications in which a large number of SKUs are handled in plastic totes or bins. The system is ideal for serving goods-to-person order picking stations in distribution centres for retail, foodservice (especially HoReCa), e-commerce or parts and components. source : cimcorp.com

Sales Manager, “Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ provides a goods-to-person picking solution that is extremely competitive against existing systems in retail, foodservice and e-commerce distribution centres and the solution becomes unbeatable as the number of SKUs and the size of storage increases.” Combined with significant labour savings, the system’s picking efficiency and simple construction make Cimcorp 3D Shuttle™ a highly cost-effective investment. Compared to manual picking systems, it is also significantly more space efficient and reduces forklift truck traffic enormously. www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol. 03 / III | JAN - FEB 2013

TIRES inside the tires of the aircraft

Have you ever been in a commercial jet when it take-off? Going from zero to nearly 400hm/h (250mph) in a minute or so? How hot do you think the air inside the tires of that aircraft became during this time? According to an editorial type of advertisement of Dunlop in the November 1994 issue of “Flying Springbok”, the in-flight magazine of the South African Airways during that time this temperature can rise to 110 degrees C (230 degrees F). The problem is that this temperature will drop to -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F) during flight. When the aircraft lands again it will rises to 110 degrees C (230 degrees F) in a very short space of time.

According to the same article every tire’s life is calculated on the number of times it takes off and lands. The live of one of the main tires fitted to an Airbus A300 is about 150 take-offs and landings. But strangely the most tread, about 60% isn’t lost during take-off and landing but during taxiing. Another interesting thing it that the main tires of a Boeing 747 can carry up to 22 800 kg (50 300 Ibs) each. source : wrightsquawks.blogspot.com

DHL, which is a subsidiary of Germany’s Deutsche Post AG, became the first training kit sponsor of a Premier League team in August 2011. ‘’The significantly increased value of agreements concluded since entering into this agreement, such as our recent $559 million world record shirt sponsorship with General Motors, leads us to believe that there should be strategic opportunities to further optimize the value of these rights,’’ United said.

Man Utd buys out DHL sponsorship Manchester United has bought out its sponsorship deal with DHL early in a bid to secure more cash for the rights to its training kit. United is in the second year of a four-year 40 million pound ($64 million) deal with the express delivery and freight firm. But United believes that sponsorship is worth more after General Motors’ Chevrolet division agreed earlier this year to sponsor the club’s main shirts for $559 million over seven years.

United, which is owned by the Glazer family, who also control the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been steadily raising cash through innovative sponsorship agreements.

Hosco boss calls for acceleration of ship scrapping

YICT Achieves 100 Million TEU Milestone in less than Two Decades

Gao Yanming, chairman of Hebei Ocean Shipping Corporation (Hosco), has sent a letter

Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) handled its 100 millionth TEU, a record it achieved in a mere 18.5 years.

to Ministry of Transport to call for more policy support to increase the volumes of old local ships being scrapped as well as to improve the level of Port State Control (PSC).

This milestone follows YICT’s 2007 performance when it became the world’s first container terminal to reach an annual throughput exceeding 10 million TEU. In less than two decades,YantianPortevolved from a small fishing village into one of the world’s busiest container terminals.

“China should accelerate phasing out old vessels to promote the restructuring of the shipping industry,” Gao said in the letter. The government should release policies to encourage scrapping old vessels, for example, exempting income tax on scrapping vessels for a certain period, Gao reckons. Also, the ministry should lower the mandatory scrapping age of vessels, Gao said. Currently the mandatory scrapping age of tankers, bulkers and boxships in China is 31 years, 33 years and 34 years respectively which makes China among the countries with the highest ship ages. Gao, one of the shipping industry’s most vocal champions of scrapping during the downturn, has suggested the scrapping age of bulkers and boxships should be lowered to 27 years, and tankers to 25 years. In the meantime, Gao, in what might be viewed in international circles as a proctectionist move, has also suggested the government should have stricter regulations on foreign vessels with ages of more than 20 years entering inland rivers and seas to protect the safety and environment of Yangtze River, Pearl River and Bohai Sea. source : sinoshipnews.com

A celebration ceremony held today to mark the achievement was attended by approximately 200 guests from various departments of the Shenzhen Municipality; the Yantian District Government; various port authorities; executives from Hutchison Port Holdings, Yantian Port Group, Hutchison Port Holdings Trust and YICT; and shipping lines and cargo owners. The accomplishment is testament to the terminal’s success due to the proactive measures it has taken to overcome challenges over the years. Since its establishment in 1994, YICT has facilitated the export-led economic growth ofSouth Chinaby providing worldclass container terminal services to the container shipping industry and the export/import community. YICT continually pursues innovation in port development, Customs reforms, multimodal transportation, and technological development. With the geographical advantages of its natural deep-water berths, its state-of-the-art terminal facilities, efficient clearance procedures, and comprehensive transportation network, YICT has become the preferred port of call for mega-vessels. Every mega-vessel currently in operation (each with a carrying capacity in excess of 10,000 TEU), has called at Yantian. YICT has always taken an environmentally friendly approach to its infrastructure development and day-to-day business operations. It was one of the first Chinese container terminal operators to deploy electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes (eRTGC) and LNGpowered container tractors. At the moment, YICT has 150 eRTGC and 280 LNG tractors. Over the years, YICT received over 200 distinctions for its impressive performance levels as well as environmental protection, port safety and security, and corporate social responsibility initiatives. With its operational expertise and service excellence, YICT has facilitated the growth of Shenzhen’s economy and helped the city achieve the largest export volume of any city inChinafor 19 consecutive years. YICT has also contributed to the city’s position as an important gateway toSouth Chinaand a key logistic hub within the Asia-Pacific region. source : yict.com
