he Port Equipment Manufacturers Association (PEMA) has launched a new technical committee focusing on port bulk handling, following huge interest from members in the segment of the port business. “PEMA represents the interests of equipment and technology suppliers on a worldwide basis, providing a platform to inform, educate, and promote best practice within the industry it serves and externally with port and terminal operators and other key stakeholders,” says Achim Dries, PEMA president. “We want to ensure that PEMA continues to build its unique role in establishing dialogue and promoting best practice in the seaport, marine and intermodal terminal space worldwide.” The new committee will add to the current work of PEMA’s existing technical committees and will look into producing industry-wide information papers and tackle some of the pressing issues within the business. It will be chaired by Andrea Prevedello, Beumer Group’s chief executive in Austria. Andrea Vitturi, chief R&D and engineering officer at Bedeschi, will act as vice chairman.
