Partridge promoted to Toll South Africa MD post Toll Global Forwarding (TGF) has promoted Geoff Partridge to the post of Managing Director of its South African operation.

TGF South Africa has broadened its activities to include international forwarding, import Customs broking, supply chain services and export forwarding. It has six bases, situated in Johannesburg (head office, airport, and a logistics facility), Cape Town, Durban and Port Elisabeth.

He was previously Operations Director, and replaces Vincent Magnus who is retiring at the end of 2012 after 23 years heading the business.

Says Partridge: “I am delighted to take over from Vince at this exciting time. South Africa is well-positioned as a base for opening in other key African countries such as Kenya and Ghana, that can then feed our global network. Africa has huge growth potential and we will use South Africa as a springboard to tap into this.”

Partridge and Magnus were co-founders of the business in 1989, when it was launched as Clover Cargo. In 1995, Brian Wicht joined the partnership, establishing the company’s Western Cape operation. In 2010 Toll acquired a majority shareholding, purchasing the remaining shares in 2011. The business was originally launched with six staff, but has now become one of the country’s top ten multi-modal forwarders, with locations in the country’s four major freight centres and 325 staff (including four of the original six).

Geoff Partridge reports to TGF’s EMEA Managing Director Hakan Bicil, who adds: “Vince has done an impressive job of leading this business from humble origins to become a major name in the country. We wish him every happiness in his well-deserved retirement, and we now look forward to supporting Geoff as he takes the business to the next level.” source : logisticsweek.com

timed with - and often ahead of - market demand to support our clients’ growth strategies in key regions.” Specifics of the new facilities include: Hangzhou Opened in the third quarter of this year, UPS’s Hangzhou facility consists of 22,000 square meters of validated healthcare distribution space. The facility is designed to support the increasing number of pharmaceutical companies that are locating manufacturing operations in China.

UPS Expands Global Healthcare Network with Three New Facilities in Asia Pacific Region UPS announced a significant expansion of its global healthcare distribution facility network in the Asia Pacific region with the opening

Shanghai Located within the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, the recently opened 7,575 square meter facility is designed to meet the needs of the medical device market. The facility provides critical access to one of the largest consumption markets for healthcare products. The close proximity of the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone to the UPS International Air Hub in Shanghai allows UPS to provide an integrated supply chain solution to the healthcare market. The UPS International Air Hub in Shanghai operates 82 flights per week and provides critical access for inbound shipments into China as well as outbound shipments around the world.

Driven by trends of increased globalization and growing healthcare consumption in emerging markets, the new facilities, together with UPS’s existing healthcare facility in Singapore, which opened in 2011, serve both multi-national and regional healthcare manufacturers’ distribution needs across the Asia Pacific region. The new facilities represent nearly 35,000 square meters of healthcare-compliant distribution space and are specially designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies.

Sydney Opened in the third quarter of this year, UPS’s Sydney facility is 5,388 square meters of dedicated healthcare distribution space. With many multi-national as well as regional companies looking to set up distribution in Sydney to serve regional markets, UPS’s facility provides quick turn-around, including next-day delivery capabilities. “The three new facilities, along with our existing Singapore facility are strategically located across key, growing healthcare markets in Asia Pacific and are targeted to support our clients as they grow their business,” said Craig Foster, senior vice president, Supply Chain and Healthcare Logistics, UPS Asia Pacific Region. “UPS adopts a consistent approach in our global healthcare strategy and all of our facilities worldwide are built with the same exceptional standards of quality care that are compliant with the requirements of the local regulatory bodies.” source : ups.com

“Asia is our fastest-growing market for healthcare and we are seeing increased activity in the region, especially in China, where a growing demand for acute and chronic care has driven the need for reliable, flexible and compliant supply chains to serve a highly dynamic market,” said Bill Hook, vice president, global strategy, UPS Healthcare Logistics. “Healthcare is a major focus area for UPS, and we are committed to continuing investments in Asia and other parts of the world

Herbert Wilhelm, President and CEO of Schenker-Seino Co., Ltd., pins high hopes on the new building: “This ultramodern and environmentally exemplary building will help us to remain one of the premier logistics services providers in Japan. We very much look forward to having this facility as an addition to our already existing logistics centers for the benefit of our customers.”

FedEx Express to build $100m Shanghai hub FedEx Express has inked a deal with the Shanghai Airport (Group) Co. Ltd. to establish a $100 million logistics hub at Shanghai

Pudong International Airport.

The facility, which will offer onsite Customs clearance and will enable FedEx to process up to 36,000 documents and packages per hour, is slated to open in early 2017. In a press release, FedEx Express said Shanghai airport — which is projected to surpass Hong Kong International Airport as the world’s top airfreight hub by 2015 — is a strategic location for the company. The eastern Chinese city’s GDP has surged by more than 8 percent over the past three years and Shanghai’s foreign trade volumes recorded doubledigit growth in both 2011 and 2010. FedEx officials said the new hub will help address increased demand for freight services, especially between eastern China and the U.S. and Europe. “By expanding our infrastructure in Shanghai, we will be

equipped to handle increased volumes in Asia and ultimately provide our customers with greater and more reliable access to the markets in which they do business,” Michael Ducker, chief operating officer and president, international, of FedEx Express, said in a statement. “Customers now have more global trade opportunities than ever before, and demand for FedEx shipping services, both to and from China, is expected to increase,” he added.

World Bank & IFC Report Finds Developing Countries Made Significant Progress in Improving Business Regulations In the past eight years, improvements to simplify tax compliance have reduced the time required annually to comply with the three major taxes measured (profit, labor, and consumption taxes) by 54 hours on average.

Washington — Local entrepreneurs in

developing countries are finding it easier to do business than at any time in the last 10 years,

highlighting the significant progress that has been made in improving business regulatory practices across the globe, according to a new report released today by the World Bank and IFC.

“Over the years, governments have made important strides to improve their business regulatory environment and to narrow the gap with global best practices,” said Augusto Lopez-Claros, Director, Global Indicators and Analysis, World Bank Group. “While the reforms we measure provide only a partial picture of an economy’s business climate, they are crucial for key economic outcomes such as faster job growth and new business creation.” In the past year alone, 108 economies implemented 201 regulatory reforms that made it easier for local entrepreneurs to do business, the report found. Eastern Europe and Central Asia had the largest share of economies implementing regulatory reforms—with 88 percent reforming in at least one of the areas measured by Doing Business. European economies in fiscal distress are working to improve business regulation as part of an effort to establish a stronger foundation for long-term growth, the report found.

The report, Doing Business 2013: Smarter Regulations for Small and Medium-Size Enterprises, marks the 10th edition of the Doing Business series. Over the past decade, these reports have recorded nearly 2,000 regulatory reforms implemented by 180 economies. The reforms have yielded major benefits for local entrepreneurs across the globe. For example:

Singapore topped the global ranking on the ease of doing business for the seventh consecutive year. Joining it on the list of the top 10 economies with the most business-friendly regulation were Hong Kong SAR, China; New Zealand; the United States; Denmark; Norway; the United Kingdom; the Republic of Korea; Georgia; and Australia.

Since 2005, the average time to start a business has fallen from 50 days to 30—and in low-income economies the average has been reduced by half.

Topping the list of economies that registered the biggest improvements in the ease of doing business over the last year were Poland, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Burundi, Costa Rica, Mongolia, Greece, Serbia, and Kazakhstan.

In the past eight years, the average time to transfer property fell by 35 days, from 90 to 55, and the average cost by 1.2 percentage points— from 7.1 percent of the property value to 5.9 percent.

Pallet wrap business targets year of substantial growth “Because pallet wrapping is a product that is used across so many industry sectors, defining your key target market is sometimes less than straightforward,” he explained. “Our sales team has performed brilliantly since we started our business but we have worked closely as a unit to assess the most likely customers and this approach has proved extremely successful. “We are winning new business and ensuring that our existing customers are retained – the latter is something that all too many business overlook.” As part of a five year business plan drawn up when GVPS began trading, Colin Griffiths set a turnover target of £5million for the fifth year. The company will achieve double that figure one year ahead of schedule and, looking further ahead, Colin and his team believe an annual turnover of £25 million is realistic.

Gloucester-based pallet wrapping film supplier Golden Valley Pallet Wrap Specialists Ltd has announced that, “We set out to develop an industry-wide reputation as a company that despite the difficult trading conditions, it is on course to increase sales of its range of film products by 40 per cent. Colin Griffiths, GVPS’s chairman, who – along with his wife Suzanne – launched the company in June 2009, cites a focused sales approach as one of the key drivers of the business’s growth.

Deutsche Post DHL confirms 2012 earnings guidance in a restructuring provision (EUR 99 million) and the income produced by disposals volatile of companies that were not part of the Group’s core business (EUR 44 million). environment Adjusted for these factors and the sale of a subsidiary in the second quarter of Deutsche Post DHL, the world’s leading postal and logistics group, continued to increase its revenues during the third quarter: at EUR 13.8 billion, revenues generated between July and September climbed 5.7 percent above the previous year’s level. In addition to favorable exchangerate effects, this increase also reflects the ongoing organic revenue growth produced by all three DHL divisions. These businesses continue to benefit from their strong market position in the world’s growth markets - particularly in Asia. As a result, the profit of the logistics division as a whole continued to increase. The company’s parcel business, an area that is generating a growing share of revenue in the MAIL division, remained dynamic. During the third quarter, it once again generated strong gains in both volume and revenues. However, this third quarter contained one less business day than the prior year. In combination with the impact of additional staff costs resulting from the new wage agreement this caused MAIL’s operating earnings to decline compared with the previous year’s total - as did Group EBIT. Nevertheless, based on its positive expectations for the final quarter of the year, the Group foresees higher earnings in all divisions and the company has therefore confirmed its earnings guidance for the ongoing fiscal year. “The strength of our business model keeps us on track in a difficult economic environment: With our strong market position in the international express and the German parcel business still paying off, we have delivered a solid set of results in the third quarter”, said Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL. “At the same time it is clear that we cannot afford to rest on our laurels given the volatile economic environment.” Third quarter of 2012: profitable growth at DHL After generating revenues of EUR13.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011, the Group -supported by positive exchange-rate effects - increased its turnover by more than EUR 700 million to EUR 13.8 billion between July and September 2012. Thanks to further efficiency improvements operating earnings at DHL also climbed further. At EUR 462 million, they rose 5 percent above the previous year’s level. In the MAIL division, expenditures related to the bankruptcy of the Neckermann mail-order company, increased staff costs as a result of the new wage agreement and the loss of one workday had a negative impact on the earnings position. These effects were partially offset by the continued dynamic growth of the parcel business. Due to the overall decrease in MAIL earnings, the Group’s EBIT also declined by 6.5 percent to EUR 604 million (2011: EUR 646 million). Nonetheless, consolidated net profit (EUR 382 million) and earnings per share (EUR 0.31) in the third quarter of 2012 remained at the previous year’s level due to lower tax expenses (2011: EUR 385 million and EUR 0.32). Capital expenditures and cash flow: foundation of growth reinforced During the third quarter of 2012, the Group further bolstered its foundations for growth by boosting capital expenditures as planned. At EUR 456 million, investments made in the third quarter of this year were 9.1 percent above the previous year’s level of EUR 418 million. During the first nine months of the year, a total of EUR 1.1 billion was invested, nearly EUR 100 million above the 2011 amount. The driving forces behind this increase were the DHL divisions, which increased their expenditures in order to reinforce the basis for continued profitable growth by investing in such areas as a more efficient aircraft fleet, the ongoing expansion of the divisions’ network, state-of-the-art warehouses and a new IT infrastructure for Global Forwarding. The Group’s cash flow and liquidity continued to be impacted by the annual contribution made each January to the Bundes-Pensions-Service (EUR 530 million) and by the dividend payment issued in May (EUR 846 million). The Group’s liquidity was also affected by the repayment of state aid (EUR 298 million) and the subsequent VAT payment (EUR 482 million). As a result, the company had net debt of EUR 977 million at the end of the third quarter. The company’s free cash flow, also significantly impacted by one-time effects, fell from EUR 141 million during the first nine months of 2011 to minus EUR 772 million this year. First nine months: one-time effects in Q2 impacted earnings In the first nine months of 2012, the company increased revenues by EUR 2.2 billion, or 5.8 percent, to EUR 40.9 billion (2011: EUR 38.7 billion). At EUR 1.8 billion, the Group’s operating earnings remained unchanged from the previous year’s level. But this result includes a number of one-time effects that impacted earnings and the comparison with the previous year’s performance - particularly in the second quarter. The effect from the subsequent VAT payment (EUR 181 million) was offset in part by positive one-time effects related to the reversal of a

2011, the Group’s operating earnings would have increased slightly in the first nine months of 2012 compared with the previous year’s level. In the same period, the reported consolidated net profit improved by 13.0 percent to EUR 1.1 billion (2011: EUR 988 million). Likewise, earnings per share rose from EUR 0.82 last year to EUR 0.92 in 2012.

Guidance: earnings guidance confirmed In spite of the current economic uncertainties the company expects to increase its fourth quarter earnings - both in the MAIL and the DHL divisions - above the previous year’s level. Against this background and as a result of the company’s performance in the first nine months of the year, the Group has confirmed the earnings guidance for the full year. The company continues to expect to generate a Group EBIT of EUR 2.6 billion to EUR 2.7 billion in 2012. In the MAIL division, earnings should total EUR 1.0 billion to EUR 1.1 billion despite the VAT payment. For the DHL divisions, the Group continues to expect operating profit to rise to about EUR 2 billion. Corporate Center/Other expenditures are forecast to total about EUR 400 million. The Group also expects that consolidated net profit adjusted for one-time non-operating effects will increase in line with operating results. Looking beyond the current year, the company remains optimistic and expects the positive earnings trend to continue: at DHL, the Group expects that earnings will rise each year by an average of 13 percent to 15 percent between 2010 and 2015. The profitability of the MAIL division should stabilize at a level of at least EUR 1 billion thanks to cost-cutting measures and growth programs that have been introduced. In combination with the planned reduction of expenditures for Corporate Center/Other, the Group’s operating earnings should climb to between EUR 3.35 billion to EUR 3.55 billion by 2015. MAIL division: parcel business remains dynamic Revenues in the MAIL division totaled EUR 3.3 billion between July and September 2012, 1.9 percent below the previous year’s level (2011: EUR 3.3 billion). This decrease resulted primarily from the continuing drop in volume being experienced by the traditional mail business as well as a loss of one workday compared with the previous year. Because the strong performance in the parcel business eased slightly in the past quarter this reduction could not be completely offset. Nevertheless, due to the dynamic online retail business, a trend being fueled in part by the innovative products and delivery services offered by the company’s parcel unit, parcel volumes and revenues continued to climb significantly in the third quarter. During the entire nine-month period, the parcel business, which already generates a quarter of total revenues in the MAIL division, even reported double-digit growth in both revenues and volumes. EXPRESS division: international express business continues to grow During the third quarter of 2012, the company’s EXPRESS division profited further from its strong market position in the world’s dynamic growth regions, continued to improve revenues and earnings, and expanded its global market share once again. Between July and September, revenues climbed by 9.0 percent to EUR 3.2 billion (2011: EUR 2.9 billion). In addition to favorable exchangerate effects, the strong growth produced in the volumes and revenues of international time-definite (TDI) shipments was once again the primary reason for the strong increase in revenues. During the period, double-digit growth in revenues was generated in all regions - with the exception of Europe. Revenues and volumes rose particularly in Asia and the Americas region, where good business in the United States played a major role in the division’s performance. In terms of EBIT, the division produced a strong gain in the third quarter of 2012: at EUR 231 million, earnings rose 6.9 percent above the previous year’s level of EUR 216 million. GLOBAL FORWARDING, FREIGHT division: profitable growth In a business environment that remains challenging, the GLOBAL FORWARDING, FREIGHT division - mainly driven by favorable exchange-rate effects - boosted its third-quarter revenues by more than EUR 200 million, or 5.6 percent, to EUR 4 billion. During the same quarter last year, revenues totaled EUR 3.8 billion. While air freight revenues remained stable, ocean freight generated double-digit growth in revenues as a result of rising volume and higher freight rates. At the same time, the division profited from improved purchasing conditions in air freight. In combination with the selective growth strategy, the division’s gross margin continued to climb. While the division was able to realize further efficiency improvements, its operating earnings slipped slightly as a result of start-up costs related to the introduction of the new IT infrastructure. At EUR 122 million the divisional EBIT in the third quarter of 2012 was 1.6 percent below the previous year’s level of EUR 124 million. source : dp-dhl.com

Jungheinrich introduces new electric pedestrian stacker Jungheinrich has brought its new EMC 110 electric pedestrian stacker to market in April 2009.

This ergonomically leading-edge truck is not only easy and safe to use, it is also incredibly versatile: Its applications range from stocking supermarket shelves to supplying components to production machines. The new EMC 110 stacker can transport up to 1,000 kilogrammes of weight, with a lift height up to 2.0 meters. Thanks to its compact design, performance efficiency and extreme operator-friendliness, the truck is capable of deployment in a broad range of application settings. “This truck is designed in such a way that it can be used effortlessly in the supermarket, but also for production supply,” comments Oliver Hiekel, Head of Product Management and Product Marketing pedestrian trucks at Jungheinrich. By allowing the operator to lift pallets quickly and easily to the required height, the stacker also doubles as a lifting table in a variety of situations: The operator can easily pick and deposit goods from the pallet without any stress on the back. Multi-function tiller head: Easy, safe and intuitive to operate The EMC 110 comes standard-equipped with a newly developed multifunction tiller head, which is specially designed to meet the full range of operator requirements. Colour coding provides for intuitive operation, and the multi-function head guarantees smooth operation of the truck in any tiller position. All travel functions are directly controllable from the tiller head, which is easily accessible and eliminates the need to reach around to levers on the chassis. In the words of Oliver Hiekel: “In practice, this means the operator can concentrate entirely on loading and depositing goods, resulting in a considerable improvement in user safety.”

lically via a button on the tiller head and provide for a finely adjustable lowering speed. “This guarantees a gentle depositing of delicate goods,” says Hiekel. The EMC 110 is a highly compact pedestrian truck. The short front length (l2 chassis dimension incl. back of fork: 535 millimetres) and low total weight of only 545 kilogrammes makes this stacker ideal for deployment in confined spaces, including elevators, but also on mezzanines. The crawl speed button enables the operator to move the truck safely with the tiller in an upright position. And the narrow centre mast guarantees optimum visibility. EMC B10: Wide-track version for picking up perimeter-board pallets The new Jungheinrich pedestrian stacker will also be available in a wide-track version as of April. This EMC B10 model is particularly suitable for picking up perimeter-board pallets. It can also be fitted with an ISO fork carriage, on which a great variety of attachments can

be mounted — for example, crane hooks or barrel turners — thus considerably widening the scope of applications for the truck.

All EMC trucks come equipped with the latest generation of Jungheinrich three-phase AC technology. According to Hiekel, this allows for “outstanding performance data in this truck class, creating the ideal prerequisites for efficient, economical operation.” The stacker comes with maintenance-free 70 Ah block batteries with an integrated charger for simple recharging at any 230 V mains socket. The battery discharge indicator continuously displays the battery condition. Thanks to this well-rounded “energy package”, consisting of built-in charger and maintenance-free battery, the EMC boasts an operating time of around two hours, which translates into an outstanding price-performance ratio for this pedestrian stacker. source : jungheinrich.com

A series of ergonomic and technological refinements to the EMC 110 makes this new Jungheinrich pedestrian stacker especially safe and easy to use: The long tiller, for example, ensures maximum safety and low steering forces for the operator. A further optimization involves the optional two-stage hydraulics, which are controlled electro-hydrau-

FedEx chases USD 1.7bn in savings FedEx Express and FedEx Services are targeted for a significant portion of the profitability improvement, to come from cost reductions. FedEx has announced programs targeting annual profitability improvement of US$1.7 billion during the next three years, with a significant portion of the benefits to be achieved by fiscal 2015. These profit improvement initiatives do not include ongoing base profit improvements at FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight. FedEx chairman, president and chief executive officer Frederick W.

The profit improvement initiatives, along with the combined strength of FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight, would put FedEx on track to achieving its financial goals.

He said a significant portion of the profitability improvement will come from cost reductions at FedEx Express and FedEx Services.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall strategy is closely tied to effective yield management. The key is striking the right balance between volume growth and yield improvements. With slow economic growth, however, the cost reduction programmes are essential to achieve its financial goals.

Mr Smith said FedEx has many cost reduction activities under way and cited an improved information-technology function as one reason FedEx will be able to meet its goal of reducing costs.

Clugston Distribution invests in two new bulk food powder tankers Clugston Distribution Services, part of the Clugston Group, is pleased to announce an investment of £130,000 in two new Spitzer Eurovac bulk powder tankers, a food grade 60 cubic meter tipping silo - which incorporates the very latest in tipping chassis technology and safety systems - as well as a state-of-the-art 56 cubic metre 4 pot non-tipping tanker. Both vehicles have been branded in Clugston’s new light blue livery and will work from the E B Bradshaw and Sons site in Driffield. Working closely with Spitzer Eurovrac, the non-tipping tanker was specifically developed with the flour industry in mind, to overcome the problem of flour holding up inside the tank, whilst the discharge system was designed for ease of cleaning. A secondary benefit is that Clugston have a number of customers whose discharge points have a camber, which means use of a traditional tipping trailer is dangerous and the non-tipping tank provides a much safer discharge solution. One of these customers, a major bread producer in the North of England, specifically requested a non-tipping flour tanker because of the on-site camber. The new innovative solution on the non-tipping tanker discharges air from both the tractor and customers air connections, which is filtrated to 5 micron and directed through a controllable air operated valve system and not the butterfly & ball valve system used on most solutions currently in use. The driver has a work station, out of harm’s way, at the side on the tanker, in sight of the discharge line, but not in the danger zone at the rear of the tanker. This coupled with the double air operated tank top access system, makes the tanker easier and safer for all concerned. David Heath, general manager Clugston Distribution Services said: “At the start of the design process we wanted a safer, more cost effective, and operator friendly tanker for the distribution of flour. We are now the first distribution company in the UK to be operating this type of tanker.” The investment, which is an integral part of the company’s continued strategic growth plan, will see the company transporting bulk food grade powders for some of UK’s leading food manufacturers including E B Bradshaw and Sons and Kerry. Clugston Distribution plan to invest in at least three further food grade powder tankers in 2013 and are also looking at opening a new additional North West located operating centre to cater for the growth in the bulk food market sector. The new tanker will allow Clugston Distribution the capability of carrying 30 tons of flour in a non tipping tank. Operationally the safety and environmental advantages of higher payloads, less wearing parts and not having to tip the tank to discharge, are undeniable. The company has a long tradition of transporting bulk powders for organisations involved in the food industry. The new bulk powder tankers will compliment the recently purchased fuel tankers, as well as the specialist steel and industrial powder tankers that are operated from the company’s Scunthorpe, Teesside and Driffield distribution centres. source : clugston.co.uk

Schmitz Cargobull draws a positive conclusion from the IAA ing the eight-day exhibition – accounting for roughly one in five visitrade fair tors to the show overall. More than 150 Schmitz Cargobull staff from

Horstmar – Schmitz Cargobull, the European market leader in trailer manufacture, has taken orders for more than 4,000 units at this year’s leading commercial vehicle exhibition – the IAA show in Hanover. As a result, the company claims its market position could be significantly strengthened once again. The majority of orders are reported to have come from Germany and Eastern European countries such as Russia, the Ukraine and Poland. “On the very first day of the exhibition we had a significant amount of visitors. This showed that our slogan for the show ‘120 years of innovation by Schmitz Cargobull’ had roused the curiosity of our customers as, yet again, we were able to present a number of new design elements which are unique in the industry,” said Ulrich Schümer, Chairman of the Board, Schmitz Cargobull AG. Visitors entered the 2,250 m² stand through a Schmitz Cargobull branded gateway where the company had a full range of products on display. Christina Schulze Föcking, member of the State Assembly, had the opportunity to personally experience the special emphasis that was placed on hospitality by Schmitz Cargobull, in addition to the many vehicles and services exhibited on the stand. Ms Schulze Föcking cut a large cake to celebrate the company’s 120 year anniversary, together with members of the Board, Ulrich Schümer and Ulrich Schöpker. After an extensive tour, she expressed her interest in the products and the innovation that lies behind them. German Transport Minister, Peter Ramsauer, was also impressed after a tour of the stand. The overall, environmentally-friendly concept of the new refrigeration unit for vehicles carrying temperature sensitive goods particularly captured his interest. The Schmitz Cargobull stand was visited by some 55,000 visitors dur-

across the globe were on hand to welcome visitors and provide expert advice and information. S.CS SPEED CURTAIN was demonstrated by the team from the Altenberge plant. This is a system which significantly simplifies and speeds up the loading and unloading process. In addition, the non-slip floor attracted plenty of interest from distributors and drivers. The Gotha plant surprised construction material transporters with an even lighter, and sturdier, version of the tipper. In total, 15 new innovative vehicle solutions were presented from all of the European plants. A new service offering ‘everything for the trailer’, was also launched and left a resounding impression on visitors to the exhibition. The company’s new ‘Fleet4You’ was awarded first place for innovation in the ‘Safety’ category by a jury of international experts. With this new package, various services, such as telematics, spare parts supply and repair and maintenance management are grouped together for the first time ‘under one roof ’. The data thus generated from each of the sub-areas provide customers with important information at all times to assist in making business-critical decisions on fleet assets. On press day, the company was able to set a positive tone with the financial figures for the business year 2011/12. With a turnover of around 1.638 billion €, a vehicle production of 43,169 units, an annual profit before tax of 77.3 m € and an equity ratio of 58.5 %, the Chairman of the Board demonstrated the leading position of Schmitz Cargobull in the trailer market. Although only “stability” in terms of growth is expected for the current business year (01.04.2012 -31.03.2013), the Board sees great opportunities in other growth areas, in order to significantly and sustainably expand the market leadership of Schmitz Cargobull. This includes an increased expansion of the new business sector for rigid truck bodies in the European market, and the extension of the product range with vehicles for the Chinese market. It is intended that these will be constructed and sold as part of a joint venture with a Chinese partner. The 64th IAA Commercial Vehicle Exhibition in Hanover reported a new record with more than 260,000 visitors from all over the world. President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), Matthias Wissmann, said: “The leading trade fair for mobility, transport and logistics is a great success.” source : cargobull.com

Cargotec receives large repeat order from U.S. Department of Defense Cargotec’s Kalmar Rough Terrain Center (KRTC) in Cibolo, Texas, has received an order for 355 light capability

rough terrain forklift trucks (LCRTF) through its contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. Total value of the order is over EUR 20 million and it has been booked into Cargotec’s third quarter 2012 order intake.

Record FedEx Holiday Volume to be Driven by E-Commerce

The order is part of the frame agreement signed between KRTC and the US Department of Defense in 2011. It follows deals signed in 2011 and 2012, taking the total number of units close to 1300.

MEMPHIS – FedEx Corp. expects to have its busiest day in history when it moves a projected 19 million shipments through its global ground, express and freight networks.

The LCRTF is a purpose-built cargo handling solution designed for loading and unloading containers, railcars and tactical vehicles. The LCRTF has sufficient mobility to operate on the various types of terrain found in defense and peace-keeping operations including work areas where high flotation and traction characteristics are required.

The 10 percent, year-over-year, busiest day increase will once again be driven by e-commerce feeding the FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost networks on “Green Monday,” which falls on the second Monday of December and is one of the most lucrative days of the year for retail companies. In 2011, U.S. consumers spent $1.1 billion on Green Monday alone, according to comScore. Green Monday also traditionally kicks off the heaviest online shopping week of the year. For the overall holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FedEx forecasts more than 280 million shipments to move through its worldwide shipping networks. This would be a year-over-year volume increase of more than 13 percent compared to 2011 when 247 million shipments were processed. Customers have a variety of shipping choices during the holiday season through the FedEx networks, including: FedEx Express, for the shipment of high-value and other goods with delivery as late as Dec. 24 or even on Christmas Day with FedEx SameDay®. FedEx Ground®, which is faster to more locations than UPS Ground and FedEx Home Delivery, which is faster to more residential locations than UPS Ground. FedEx SmartPost, a residential shipping service designed for online and catalog retailers with last-mile delivery by the U.S. Postal Service. FedEx plans to increase with approximately 20,000 seasonal personnel to help handle the surge in holiday shipments at FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx SmartPost. “The continued trend toward record Peak volumes is a testament to the strength, speed and reliability of the FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost networks,” said Frederick W. Smith, chairman, president

and CEO of FedEx Corp. “FedEx team members from around the globe, 300,000 strong, are prepared to help drive commerce during the busy holiday season and beyond.” Holiday volumes are retail-driven, with goods such as personal electronics, apparel, luxury goods and items from large internet retailers accounting for holiday shipping volumes.

To ensure the safety of the tigers on board, bespoke travelling crates were created for the wild cats, equipped with infrared cameras to allow each tiger’s on-board keeper to monitor their well being throughout the journey. Dedicated tiger team To accommodate the feline travellers, DHL temporarily reconfigured its global network to ensure the tigers could be delivered in under 24 hours. Phil Couchman, CEO of DHL Express UK & Ireland commented: “This is an extremely worthwhile cause and a massive logistical operation for DHL - our priority throughout the operation has been the safety and well being of the tigers.

DHL shows high value cargo credentials with rare tiger delivery DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, has delivered two Sumatran tigers, one from the USA and one from Australia, to take part in an international breeding program. With fewer than 300 Sumatran tigers now in the wild, ZSL London Zoo is hoping to breed the tigers as part of a wider conservation support program and enlisted the help of international shipping firm DHL Express to transport the two tigers: Melati, a female tiger from Perth Zoo, Australia, who arrived on 29 September and Jae-Jae, a male tiger from Akron Zoo Ohio, United States who joined Melati on 14 October. Taking into account the tigers’ wild behavior and mating rituals, the female tiger was brought to the zoo first and given time to mark her territory, before the male tiger was introduced two weeks later.

“In working closely with ZSL London Zoo to prepare for the move and to ensure the smoothest possible journey for the tigers, we established early on that if either of the tigers were in transit for longer than 24 hours, they would need to be grounded and fed. So, in the case of Jae-Jae, we made some adjustments to our global flight operations to ensure his arrival at London Heathrow within the 24 hour deadline. This meant that the whole DHL network was working around the needs of this VIP passenger.”

Tom Kennicutt, CEVA’s Managing Director for Malaysia said: “We are very excited to be able to expand our facility in KLIA with a brand new office and warehouse. This new facility speaks of a strong commitment to enhance our Airfreight services for our customers and we aim to extend our footprint further with new customers, locally and overseas. This is an important step for CEVA in Malaysia as we continue to build on our strengths in Airfreight and in our integrated capabilities as an end-to-end 3PL provider.“

GAC and Griffin unite to provide ‘door-to-deck’ crew transportation service Global shipping, logistics and marine services group GAC and crew travel specialist Griffin have joined forces to create G2 Crew Services Ltd. to provide fully integrated door-to-deck transportation services for joining crew.

Freight Group Kerry Logistics Expand ASEAN Road Haulage Services CHINA – VIETNAM - Kerry Asia Road Transport (KART) is the road haulage service arm of freight group Kerry Logistics which controls an ASEAN wide road transport service connecting China (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Kunming) to the ASEAN countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore) and this week the company launched a new scheduled twice-weekly trucking service connecting Shenzhen and Hanoi, through its comprehensive network. The company has been spurred on by the emerging trade channels developing between China and ASEAN countries and KART’s ‘Lessthan-Truckload’ (LTL) service will initially connect the industrial cities in southern China and northern Vietnam, providing shippers and 3PLs with a fixed-day dedicated service. KART will look to expand this service to other city pairs in the future. Alex Ng, General Manager of KART, commented: “It is very exciting that there are new industrial and commercial centres developing along the road network connecting ASEAN and China and we are forecasting significant growth and additional city-to-city services in the future. There is demand from shippers for a service that matches airfreight for transit time and is more cost effective. By road we can deliver to the heart of Hanoi and Shenzhen which is much quicker than by ocean. “Shippers want schedule integrity and the city-to-city direct service means we are able to manage our customers’ supply chains more effectively, improving efficiency, reducing inventory and delivering just-in-time.” As the service is SGS TAPA-TSR certified the KART containers are equipped with security features such as GPS tracking and on-board CCTV and the new service will depart Shenzhen for Hanoi on Tuesday and Thursday and Hanoi to Shenzhen on Wednesday and Friday. KART has also extended its door-to-door connectivity in China and Vietnam through its domestic courier services, in an attempt to ensure on time delivery throughout both countries.

The joint venture combines the expertise of Griffin, which coordinates the on-time arrival of 750,000 crew each year, with the local knowledge, contacts and resources of the GAC network covering more than 1,000 ports around the world. G2 Crew Services aims to provide a total transportation package for crew members joining ships worldwide, including the ‘last mile’ between their arrival airport and their vessel. A central ‘control tower’ in Mumbai monitors the safe movement of crew and coordinates flight schedules, land transportation and vessels’ ETAs to provide the best on-time arrival of joining crew at their final destination and Griffin’s unique HomePort concierge service provides 24/7 support to crew . Payment and cost control is simplified through a QuickBill sent within 7 days of the crew’s arrival, detailing the cost of all services in a single currency, eliminating the need for ‘prefunding’ and the reconciliation with a ‘final disbursement’ account. The agreement was signed by Griffin’s Executive Chairman Simon Morse and GAC Group President Lars Säfverström. Morse says: “Our partnership with GAC marks an important milestone in the fulfilment of our mission to extend the scope and value of the service we provide our clients from point-to-point travel to a full crew rotation management service.” The broader crew rotation management service which will be launched in February next year, will incorporate the new Homeport dashport. The IT system will enable clients to monitor all crew movements against their planned rotation, from the minute they leave home to the moment they arrive on deck, and they will also receive alerts confirming arrival times. Säfverström adds: “This partnership with Griffin is in line with GAC’s strategy of working with best-in-class specialists in the shipping, logistics and marine sectors to offer high standard, innovative services delivered through our global network of offices worldwide.” source : gac.com

The field of humanitarian logistics is so far an untouched subject in the region and the response for education, training and applied science is astonishing.” “We cannot undervalue the importance of efficient logistics management in the humanitarian context. Increasing numbers of people are affected by disaster in Asia every year and we need to find a way to spread the knowledge and skills of the humanitarian and logistics sectors to our own staff and a growing range of partners that want to play a role in responding,” said Mr. Sean Rafter, Director, Save the Children International. The Centre will conduct standardised and advanced Supply Chain Management courses and research into best practices and advanced Supply Chain Management thinking in the Humanitarian context.

Since its introduction in October 2011, 2 million people have registered for UPS My Choice. “It can be frustrating to see a missed delivery notice on your front door, especially if you’re anticipating a special holiday gift,” said Myron Gray, president of U.S. operations for UPS. “UPS My Choice is an industry-leading service that gives our residential customers the confidence of knowing when their shipments will be delivered as well as the ability to change the date and location if they desire.”

HOYER takes over De Rijke bulk liquid business unit Internationally active logistics services specialist HOYER, headquartered in Hamburg, has taken over the bulk liquid division of Dutch logistics company De Rijke. The acquisition is a clear move forward in HOYER’s market position in European chemical logistics. “De Rijke’s portfolio is an ideal match for HOYER’s growth strategy,” said Günter-Friedrich Maas, head of the Chemilog business unit at HOYER, explaining the takeover. “We will be gaining market share, particularly in our relations to and from Great Britain, Scandinavia and Italy.” One particular advantage is also De Rijke’s pronounced intermodal focus: more than 75 per cent of sales of De Rijke’s bulk liquid unit are generated by intermodal transport, the ecological and efficient combination of road and rail. “Development of these services is an important component in HOYER’s strategy,” Maas continued. “For the HOYER Chemilog business unit, the acquisition adds up to an increase of 40 per cent in intermodal business alone.” The prospects

of integrating De Rijke business into existing HOYER activities also look good. HOYER is taking on all 240 employees of De Rijke at its five European offices: Göteborg in Sweden, Preston Brook in Great Britain, Moerdijk in the Netherlands, Le Havre in France and Piacenza in Italy. The deal also brings with it 1,500 tanker containers, 130 tractors and 300 tanker trailers and chassis. source : verkehrsrundschau.de

Total traded volumes stood at 16,373 lots of 25 tonnes each, slightly higher than the usual 12,500 lots. Technical analysis showed that palm oil remained neutral, trapped in a range of 2,361-2,528 ringgit per tonne, said Reuters analyst Wang Tao.

Palm oil slips on higher stocks, demand in focus KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Wednesday after analysts expected the market to fall further on high stocks

although traders were betting on the edible oil’s big discount to competing soyoil to spur demand. Palm oil futures have lost 22 percent this year, prompting one analyst at an industry seminar the previous day to forecast prices falling to 2,200 ringgit in the next four to six weeks on a record build-up in Malaysian stocks. Exports in the first half of October have climbed as much as 16.3 percent from a month ago, signalling strong buying interest from the likes of the European Union and Pakistan, data from a cargo surveyor showed. “The market is digesting all the news and views spoken yesterday, it will remain rangebound until more is known about demand,” said a trader with a local commodities

On Tuesday, U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney clashed repeatedly on jobs and energy. While market reaction in Asia has been muted, U.S. investors are likely to focus on the outcome as it gives an idea on the kind of economic and financial policies that may come into the play after the polls. “The U.S markets are quiet because of the presidential election next month, so people are watching carefully. That’s why the (palm oil) market can’t move,” the Malaysian trader said. Palm oil takes its cues mostly from U.S. soyoil and Brent crude, as it competes with the edible oil for food demand and the crude oil grade for use in the energy sector. Brent futures held steady near $114 on Tuesday as expectations that Europe’s financial crisis is on the mend renewed hopes of a revival in oil demand growth, while simmering tension in the Middle East provided additional support. U.S. soyoil for December delivery inched up 0.2 percent in early Asian trade after declining in the previous session on expectations of higher soybean supplies in the Americas.

Focus on JadeWeserPort at Intermodal Europe 2012

just from the German market but from various internationals as well” he says. “I imagine there will be even more interest this year, following the successful launch of the port.”

JadeWeserPort, Germany’s first deep water container port, started operation on 21 September 2012 and will be the focus of a case study at Intermodal Europe 2012.

The opening of JadeWeserPort has been eagerly anticipated, with Intermodal Europe 2012 dedicating a conference session to it, titled ‘JadeWeserPort Road, Rail and Short Sea Transport’.

“The most important feature of the newly opened JadeWeserPort is the tide independent 18 metre depth that enables JadeWeserPort to call ultra large container ships at any time” says Dr. Jan Miller, CEO of JadeWeserPort Logistics Zone GmbH & Co KG. “We are the only port in Germany to offer this condition and the Port of Rotterdam is the only other with comparable depth in Europe.” JadeWeserPort is equipped to receive large container ships from Asia, up to a size of 18,000 TEU.

Described by Intermodal Europe 2012 as a ‘key update session on the progress of the new JadeWeserPort’, the session will feature all the key players including the port, terminal operators, shipping lines and logistics providers, looking at various intermodal transportation methods. source : faq-logistique.com

JadeWeserPort is also the only reputable port in Europe to have, directly adjacent, 160 hectares of industrial development space available for logistic companies of any kind. A further 400 hectares are available on demand for a medium term extension of this logistics zone. The JadeWeserPort provides a high-capacity 16-track marshalling yard and a 6-track intermodal terminal for combined transport (CT) as well as a direct motorway connection ending 500 metres from the pier, so that any transport by rail, sea and road can be quickly and easily serviced. “While waterways provide an excellent method of transportation where they are available, the Rhine serves Western Germany well for example, for the rest of the world and for the rest of Europe, a combination of road and rail is very important.” says Rüdiger Beckmann, sales manager of JadeWeserPort Logistics Zone. Intermodal Europe 2012 will be an excellent opportunity to talk about the new port according to Rüdiger. “We attended the last two Intermodal Europe events and there has been a great deal of interest, not

Denver airport raises funds for South Terminal Redevelopment Program

Denver International Airport in the US has raised $856m by selling revenue bonds that will support its redevelopment programme. The sale of bonds will offer funds worth $394m for the airport’s South Terminal Redevelopment Program and other capital enhancement projects, while $462m will be used for refunding bonds worth $462m to lessen debt service charges for the airport. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said: “Denver International Airport is a key element in our plan to make a great city even greater.”

The project also includes refurbishment of the current concourse baggage and train systems, a public plaza for programmes and events that will connect the development to the existing Jeppesen Terminal. The train station and hotel that are scheduled to be opened in 2015 will be managed as a Westin Hotel. The bonds were sold in three different series to refinance outstanding commercial paper and bonds that were issued earlier, and are expected to be paid back through revenues generated by the airport.

New check-in service cuts queues at Indonesian airports effective way to keep queues down. They give us the freedom to move around and open a new check-in area wherever and whenever a queue starts to form. “This is the first time our Mobicheck service has been available in Indonesia. It went live at CGK in April and at DPS in June. In total, we now have five mobile check-in desks, with three installed at CGK and two at DPS. It reduces frustration for passengers through shorter queuing times and speeds up their journey through the airport.” The roving check-in counter is based on the industry standard common-use check-in system, known as CUTE. It can process passengers from multiple airlines, making it highly versatile and efficient for shared airport terminals.

JAS and SITA launch Indonesia’s first roving check-in. A new

roving check-in service is speeding up passenger processing and cutting congestion at Indonesia’s two busiest airports. JAS, Indonesia’s foremost ground handler, has introduced the new service at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), Jakarta and Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Bali. Congestion during peak hours is a common problem at both airports with passenger volumes far in excess of the terminal design capacity. JAS worked with technology provider SITA to find a flexible solution. The result was Indonesia’s first mobile check-in desk, launched by JAS under the name Mobicheck. Using wireless connectivity, it can be rapidly deployed anywhere in the airport terminals with the full functionality of a fixed check-in counter. Nazri Othman, Chief Operating Officer, JAS said: “During peak periods airlines need more counters to check-in passengers. With no space for expansion of existing fixed desks, roving counters provide an 30

Ilya Gutlin, SITA President, Asia Pacific, said: “Essentially it is a checkin desk on wheels, which means it can be set up anywhere there is a queue and then stored away in a back office when it is not required. This provides much greater flexibility than fixed counters, as well as providing a back-up system for business continuity in the event of a disruption. “The service is common-use, which means it can support any airline that uses the CUTE environment. Airlines are assured of better service for their passengers and with less bottlenecks at check-in, aircraft delays are reduced. The airport is also happy because it leads to less congestion in the departure halls and a smoother passenger flow. So everybody benefits.” SITA has worked closely with JAS for more than 15 years. The roving check-in service is the latest example of how that partnership supports the ground handler’s aim of providing better service to its airline customers and their passengers. source : sita.aero

Bank Mandiri corporate banking director Francisca Nelwan Mok said that the lending commitment for Pelindo II was an example of how state-owned enterprises could work together to develop much needed infrastructure in Indonesia. BNI business banking director Krishna R. Suprapto said that he hoped the construction of the new port would reduce logistical costs in Indonesia. “High logistical costs makes the domestic industry lose its edge against foreign competitors,” Krishna said. Meanwhile, Rima Noviyanti, the corporate secretary of Pelindo II, also known as Indonesia Port Corporation (IPC), said that groundbreaking at the Kalibaru Port, also called New Priok in North Jakarta, would be delayed until next month due to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s tight schedule.

Berto Wedhatama) State-owned banks Bank Mandiri and Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) have agreed to provide loans worth Rp 1 trillion (US$105 million) to Pelindo II to help the latter finance the development of the Kalibaru Port. Pelindo II president director RJ Lino said that the credit would significantly accelerate the development of the first phase of the Kalibaru Port, which will become one of the largest container ports in the country with an area of 195 hectares. The financing from Bank Mandiri and BNI is the first credit Pelindo II has received from the national banks. Prior to this, Pelindo II relied on its own funds to support operations. Each of the banks will provide Rp 500 billion for Pelindo II.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the port was originally scheduled for Sept. 17, which would coincide with National Transportation Day. The President was expected to lead the ceremony. Based on the master plan, during the first phase the company will develop three container terminals with a total capacity of 4.5 million 20 foot units (TEUs) and two fuel berths with a total investment of up to US$2.5 billion. The first container terminal with a capacity of 1.5 million TEUs is set to commence operation in the middle of 2014, with each of the additional four terminals being completed in the years following up until 2017. Separately, Transportation Minister EE Mangindaan said he hoped the President would be able to officially open the project next month. “We expect the port’s first groundbreaking ceremony to be held in early October as the first terminal is scheduled to be operational by 2014 to cope with the surging container traffic,” Mangindaan said on the sidelines of the transportation workshop in Jakarta. The port project was originally designed as part of the government’s plan to expand the country’s busiest port; Tanjung Priok Port, through the construction of new terminals that would have a capacity of 1.9 million TEUs. source : thejakartapost.com

‘Total Airport Security Solution’ Field Trial Underway At Heathrow Airport Multi-Level Video And Situation Intelligence Solution Designed To Create Integrated Airport Security Monitoring Platform The first Total Airport Security Solution (TASS) proof-of-concept is being conducted at Heathrow in London. TASS is comprised of a multi-level video and situation intelligence offering specifically designed to help airports advance their threat detection capabilities. Verint, the TASS consortium initiator and coordinator, along with several key partners from leading European technology companies, launched the field testing of the TASS prototype in October 2012. During the trial, three pre-identified security threat scenarios are being tested, allowing members within the airport community to observe and evaluate the TASS system. Part of the Seventh EU Framework Program (FP7), TASS is a four year project that is expected to run until March 2014. The TASS consortium is led by Verint and composed of 20 leading European technology companies, research institutes and end-user organizations. The purpose of TASS is to enable an advanced, integrated approach to airport security by creating an entire airport situation intelligence solution that provides real-time, accurate situational awareness to airport authorities. Based on integrating and fusing different types of real-time sensors and sub-systems for data collection, TASS operates in a variety of modes, including fixed and mobile, and under any environmental condition. TASS represents a significant step forward in developing the model for integrated systems at airports, which typically have a range of systems and sensors not natively designed to interoperate or share intelligence in a coordinated manner. Heathrow security officials will continue to conduct several simulated scenarios testing the system’s functionality and interoperability with

the integrated technologies. Among the technology being used in the field trial are Verint’s Nextiva Video Management Software (VMS) and Nextiva PSIM, a physical security information management solution. The Verint VMS solution is a powerful video management application designed to view video, monitor system health and export information for investigative purposes. Nextiva PSIM captures information from a variety of security, safety and building management systems; enables users to view, correlate and analyze the information to identify situations quickly and efficiently; and helps initiate and manage responses to security situations in collaboration with local authorities and agencies. The Nextiva solutions are open-standards based and have been integrated with the other consortium key partner technologies. “The TASS consortium is pleased to execute and monitor its first proof-of-concept testing at Heathrow,” says Gideon Hazzani, TASS project coordinator and director of business development, Verint Communications and Cyber Intelligence Solutions. “Heathrow’s sophisticated environment made it an attractive candidate for the trial. Upon integrating the various systems, the consortium will continue its field trial to validate the Total Airport Security Solution’s ability to deliver real-time data to security authorities, enabling them to quickly identify and assess situations, and effectively respond to alerts within pre-defined parameters set forth by the airport.” source : verint.com

Transition of ADT’s container business ahead of schedule

capital, to the new facility, some 60 kilometres east of Abu Dhabi, as the company’s container volumes continue to grow. “These are pioneering times for ADT,” said ADT CEO, Martijn Van de Linde. “International shipping lines are making use of the deep sea berths at Khalifa Port to send larger container vessels to Abu Dhabi than we have ever seen before.” “By enabling big ships to berth in Abu Dhabi, Khalifa Port is eliminating the need for goods to travel by feeder ships from other ports to reach the local market. The move of container traffic to Khalifa Port is two months ahead of schedule and will be completed in the first month of 2013,” added Van de Linde.

90 percent of container business moved to Khalifa Port, says terminal operator Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT) has moved 90 percent of its container business to Khalifa Port just two months after the port started operations. ADT is currently in the process of what it calls a “strategic redirection” of its box traffic from Mina Zayed, located in the centre of the UAE

Since Khalifa commenced operations on September 1st it has already handled 700,000 TEU. The port has the capacity to accommodate Mina Zayed’s traffic, as well as the cargo traffic that will be generated by Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi ‘Kizad’. With the capacity to handle 15 million TEU and 35 million tons of general cargo annually, Khalifa Port aims to be one of the world’s largest ports by 2030. source : adterminals.ae

APM Terminals planning new mega-port for Nigeria APM Terminals and its consortium partners have today announced plans to develop a greenfield mega-port project and Free Trade Zone at Badagry in Lagos State, Nigeria. When fully completed the deep-water full-service port will be one of the largest in Africa. The facility, located 34 miles west of Apapa and the Port of Lagos on the Benin-Lagos Expressway, will boast 7 km of quay and 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres) of dedicated yard, and will include facilities for container, bulk, liquid bulk, Ro/Ro and general cargo as well as oil and gas operations support and a barge terminal. Plans for the adjoining Badagry Free Trade Zone will include a power plant, oil refinery, industrial park and warehousing and Inland Container Deport functions. The first phase of the project is scheduled to open in 2016. “We are actively working with state and federal governments on the permission process” stated APM Terminals Africa-Middle East Regional CEO Peder Sondergaard, adding that “the Nigerian Ports Authority, Lagos State and the Nigerian federal Government have been supportive and positive.” In June this year, Nigerian Minister of Transport, Senator Idris Umar, cited the proposed Badagry Port project as an example of a public-private partnership development which would help to address congestion and establish Nigeria as a maritime trading hub for West and Central Africa. The Benin-Lagos Expressway is currently being upgraded to a 10-lane highway which will facilitate cargo movements to and from inland destinations in the region.

Industry analysts have predicted that Nigerian container volume, which totaled 1.4 million TEU in 2011, will outstrip existing port capacity by 2017. The Badagry consortium partnership is comprised of APM Terminals, Orlean Invest, the Macquarie Group, Oando PLC, the Chagoury Group and Terminal Investment Limited. Support for the project has also been expressed by the Nigerian Ports Authority, and the Governor of Lagos State. source : apmterminals.com

Director Marcus Bönning. “Now we want to make our ‘wet transfer’ services available to a larger group of customers. To achieve this, we are pooling smaller orders and combining them with already established transfer connections.” CTD gained the necessary expertise in close collaboration with the HHLA terminal O’Swaldkai, which regularly serves as the starting point for consolidated transports to various destinations in the port. “Wet transfer” connects all the terminals, and CTD can also forward containers to hinterland destinations via waterways. “First and foremost, we see ourselves as a mobility provider that selects the right mode of transport for each client,” explains Marcus Bönning.

“Wet Transfer” at the Port of Hamburg: CTD Also Makes Use of Waterways

HHLA’s subsidiary CTD is the market-leading provider of container transport services at the Port of Hamburg, where it hopes to increase the percentage of transfers made with inland waterway vessels. This form of transport reduces traffic congestion and carbon emissions. When containers need to be moved from one terminal to another at the Port of Hamburg, Container-Transport-Dienst (CTD) usually organises this transfer process. CTD is increasingly offering inland waterway transport in order to give its clients an environmentally friendly alternative to trucks and to reduce the amount of traffic on roads in the port. “We are not restricted to using trucks and have already found inland waterway vessels to be a very good alternative,” says Managing

The service is provided with the aid of a fleet of pushed barges supplied by various operators. The boats can transport between 90 and 210 standard containers (TEU) in several layers. When they are loaded optimally, they can take the place of as many as 100 truck journeys. Inland waterway vessels use less fossil fuel and have 70 % lower carbon dioxide emissions per TEU than trucks. They help to reduce carbon emissions by at least 3.4 tonnes per 1,000 transported boxes and also generate much less noise. CTD has established itself as a specialist in intelligent container trucking at one of the world’s largest logistics hubs. Founded in 1974, the subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is the market-leading provider of transport services at the Port of Hamburg. The company now organises the transport of containers throughout Germany and the rest of Europe. Branch offices in a growing number of German economic centres ensure that clients receive the best possible local service. source : hhla.de

OWA Christens Its New Offshore Wind Installation and Maintenance Vessels Amongst great public interest, the vessels ‘Aquata’ and ‘Arista’ were named at the port of Ostend. Ms Evi Van Acker, Belgian sailor and bronze medal winner at the London 2012 Olympics, accepted to be godmother to the ‘Arista’. Mrs Sabine Cartrysse, spouse of Mr Kris Vanmassenhove, accepted to be godmother to the ‘Aquata’. The christening also marked the launch of GeoSea subsidiary Offshore & Wind Assistance (OWA). Damen Shipyards of Gorinchem in the Netherlands was responsible for the detailed design, construction and delivery of the auxiliary vessels ‘Aquata’ and ‘Arista’. Measuring almost 26 m in length and 10 m in width, these so-called ‘Fast Crew Suppliers’ are equipped with a 3 ton capacity crane. The unique ‘Sea Axe’ hull shape patented by Damen Shipyards allows for high speeds even in rough waters. In addition, the ‘Aquata’ and ‘Arista’ have a very large carrying capacity in comparison to other, similar vessels, making them extremely suitable for quick transport of large quantities of goods and personnel. The first mission of the ‘Aquata’ and the ‘Arista’ will take them to the Thornton Bank off the Belgian coast, where earlier this year with the use of the DP2 jack-up vessel ‘Neptune’, parent company GeoSea installed already 30 wind turbines for the second and third stages of the C-power offshore wind farm. In the summer of 2011 OWA signed a long term contract with Repower for the support of the maintenance of all wind turbines at C-Power wind farm. For a period of 10 years OWA will be the exclusive provider of all crew transfer vessels for the regular inspections and maintenance as well as all jack up vessels which from time to time may be required for overhauls or repairs of larger components. Offshore & Wind Assistance (OWA) is looking to further strengthen its position at the forefront of companies specialising in supplying and maintaining wind farms at sea. Auxiliary vessels ‘Aquata’ and ‘Arista’ form an essential part of the strategy to realise that objective. Deployment of the ‘Aquata’ and the ‘Arista’ and the further growth of Offshore and Wind Assistance (OWA) will provide additional employment in the form of operational and technical maintenance and local employment for third parties on the coast. The new vessels ‘Aquata’ and ‘Arista’ are named after two of the seven daughters of Triton, the king of the sea who, together with his brothers, reigned over the sea under the watchful eye of their father, god of the sea Poseidon – Neptune in Roman mythology. Princesses Aquata and Arista helped King Triton in fulfilling his task; their main qualities included helpfulness, integrity, a sense of responsibility and foresight – features that perfectly match the goals and values of Offshore & Wind Assistance (OWA). source : socp.us 38

Scania to supply V8 engines for Finnish landing craft

Scania has landed a prestigious order to supply 24 diesel engines for the Finnish Navy’s new high-speed landing crafts. The vessels are scheduled for delivery during 2014 - 2016. Built and designed by Marine Alutech, the Finnish navy’s new highspeed Watercat M18 AMC landing crafts are fitted with twin 16-litre V8 engines from Scania. With 29 tonnes displacement, the 19.3-metre vessels have a broad range of applications such as troop and medical emergency transportation, evacuation tasks and landing operations. The Watercat is powered by two Scania engines, developing 662 kW (900 hp) each, at 2,300 r/min, driving via a water-jet propulsion system. This gives the vessel a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed of over 40 knots, with an operating range of 200 nautical miles. The initial order is for 12 landing craft, and thus 24 engines, with an option for additional deliveries. source : scania.com

FutureShip designs zero-emission ferry

Further to Scandlines’ expression of interest in fuel cell ferries for the Fehmarn Belt crossing between Denmark and Germany, a shipping efficiency consultancy has produced a design for the proposed ferries. Germanischer Lloydsubsidiary FutureShip has developed a zero-emission propulsion concept for Scandlines, which could be implemented on the Baltic ferries within the next five years. The zero-emission ferries have 8.3MW fuel cells and 140 cubic metre hydrogen tanks, sufficient for a passage of 48 hours, as well as storage batteries with 2.4MWh capacity.

The ferries travel at a cruising speed of 17 knots, but can accelerate up to a maximum speed of 18 knots by drawing additional power from the batteries. Flettner rotors, meanwhile, harvest wind energy. FutureShip estimates that the ferries would cost “only about 25% more than a conventional design” and says they could be built with technology. source : bairdmaritime.com

Geodis Wilson’s Industrial Projects division has achieved an internationally recognized high status due to its innovative and sustainable approach to transportation solutions. Recently the company managed a record-breaking airfreight shipment of wind turbine blades from China to Scandinavia and also took a leading role in developing the first rail freight solution for similar blade deliveries within Europe. source : geodiswilson.com

MAN Sells Fuel-Sharing Engines for LNG Carrier

MAN Diesel & Turbo (MAN) says it has won a contract to equip two Greek vessels with a new type of engine that can burn both gaseous and liquid fuels simultaneously. The MAN 51/60DF dual-fuel engines will be installed in two dual-fuel diesel-electrical (DFDE)-driven newbuildings being built for Athensbased Alpha Tankers and Freighters International Ltd. The installation of the MAN 51/60DF dual-fuel engines on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers is a first for that type of ship, although the concept has already been in use in Man’s B&W ME-GI type, a gasinjection two-stroke dual-fuel diesel engine. the engines scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the ships due for completion in 2014 and 2015. MAN unveiled the ME-GI engine in May 2011, saying that the technology can be combined with exhaust gas recirculation and wasteheat recovery technologies to significantly reduce emissions and meet new regulations.

The company said the use of the fuel-sharing mode in the new LNG carriers will be especially helpful during ballast voyages, when more natural boil-off gas is generated than on laden voyages. source : shipandbunker.com

Samskip Multimodal and DSM develop new lightweight container With an extensive track-record of container innovations and a continuous drive for energy savings, user-friendliness and weight reduction opportunities, Samskip has been closely involved in the development of the new DSM HighQ™ container since October 2009. The new HighQ™ container aims to be 20% lighter than its steel counterparts. The weight reduction is achieved thanks to composite panels that replace the commonly used corrugated steel. The first 45 ft pallet wide high cube prototype was certified by Lloyd’s June 2011 and real life field tested by Samskip for over one year. In total three prototypes have been successfully tested, DSM and Samskip are convinced the key advantage of the new container is cost efficiency. The lower tare weight in combination with an aerodynamic design leads to significant fuel savings during transport when compared to the same load as a steel container. Conversely, when used in transport modes where weight limitations apply, like rail and road, the lower weight of the container can also be turned into a payload increase for heavy commodities. The flat sides make it easier to load and unload. It is also easier to clean and attracts less dirt. Innovative high impact corners protect the roof

during container handling. This gives HighQ™ containers a longer lifetime and better protects the cargo. “We firmly believe in this lightweight container that we have thoroughly tested under the most severe situations”, says Diederick Blom, Chief Operating Officer at Samskip Multimodal. “We are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to work in such close cooperation with DSM by sharing our industry knowledge and ideas and we look forward to welcoming the first series in our fleet next year which we will be offering to our clients”. “This container is a true example of DSM using its innovative power to drive sustainability in our society.” says Theo Jongeling, Business Manager HighQ™ containers at DSM. “The use of composite technology reduces the impact on the environment already during the manufacturing stage and continuous to do this during the entire time that the container is operational. This solution is good for the environment and our customers’ business at the same time!” DSM is working with industrial partners to develop the supply chain of the new HighQ™ containers. source : samskip.com

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a teaming agreement with Italian company Lauro Shipping Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a teaming agreement with Italian company Lauro Shipping to design innovative new gas powered ferries based on the award winning Environship concept. This important agreement marks the first time that a customer will utilise the Environship concept for a passenger vessel. This follows previous orders for cargo ships which all benefit from a range of RollsRoyce technologies that will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40 per cent compared to similar diesel powered ships. Lauro Shipping is one of the largest ferry operators in Italy’s Campania region, providing connections to the islands of Capri and Ischia and specialising in high speed ferries. The company has also recently acquired Siremar which operates services to Sicily. This agreement covers the basic design of a new ship class, which will be scalable for smaller and larger versions. Rolls-Royce and Lauro Shipping will jointly develop the design, prior to engaging with suitable ship yards. Salvatore Lauro, Chief Executive said: “We’re pleased to announce this teaming agreement with Rolls-Royce to jointly develop an innovative, environmentally friendly Ro-Pax ferry design that will meet the latest technological requirements for emissions while reducing fuel consumption and operational costs.” Neil Gilliver, Rolls-Royce, President – Merchant said: “This latest development for our Environship concept is proof that there’s a genuine desire from ship owners to embrace cutting edge marine technology to

reduce environmental impact. We look forward to working with Lauro Shipping on this exciting project, which could be the first gas powered ferry operating in the Mediterranean. “We have a huge amount of operational experience with gas powered vessels, particularly in Norway, and the fact that Lauro Shipping is leading the way in the Mediterranean, further enhances the global prospects for liquid natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel.” The NVC 256 will carry passengers and vehicles and is the latest ship design from the Rolls-Royce Environship range, incorporating a variety of features to reduce environmental impact while increasing efficiency, including an engine powered by LNG. The new ferry concept will incorporate a Rolls-Royce solution including systems, equipment and ship design. This includes Bergen engines, a wave piercing bow and a Promas propulsion system which combines a propeller and rudder, reducing drag and enhancing manoeuvrability. Another feature of the propulsion system is the Rolls-Royce Hybrid Shaft Generator (HSG) which produces electrical power from the propulsion engines instead of running auxiliary diesel generators. This optimises on board power generation, cutting fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. This is the latest in a series of recent wins for Rolls-Royce LNG powered ships, which includes the world’s first gas powered tugs, coastal cargo ships and passenger ferries. The world’s first LNG powered cargo ship, powered by Rolls-Royce, entered service in Norway earlier this year. source : rolls-royce.com

11-vessel Order with DMS Maritime Culminates in Rescue Gear Ship for Royal Australian Navy behalf. On time, in budget

An 11-vessel order for DMS Maritime Pty Limited culminated recently with a Rescue Gear Ship 9316, which will be used to support the Royal Australian Navy’s submarine fleet. Damen Shipyards and DMS Maritime signed the contract for the RGS 9316 on November 16 in Sydney, Australia. The vessel will be built at a Damen yard in Vietnam and is due to be delivered in 2016. Having built a similar vessel, the SD Victoria for Serco UK supporting the Royal Navy, the RGS 9316 is based on a proven Damen concept. Since 2011, DMS Maritime has ordered five tugboats (four Azimuth tugs - a Damen ASD Tug 2310, an ASD Tug 2009 and two ASD 2411s) as well as a Stan Tug 1606 for Rockingham, Darwin and Sydney and four water fuel lighters (due for delivery in 2013/14). Four of the five tugs have been delivered. The ASD Tug 2009 will be delivered mid2013. As well as this, a contract for an Escape Gear Ship 8316 Submarine Rescue Vessel was signed in August. This ship will be delivered in 2015. Based in Sydney, DMS Maritime is part of the international service company Serco, which works with governments worldwide. Under the Fleet Marine Services Contract for the Royal Australian Navy DMS Maritime operates a fleet of around seventy-five vessels on Navy’s

Roland Briene, Damen Regional Sales Director – Asia Pacific, comments: “This really is a remarkable project. After working on this contract for more than three years, we are proud to say that all the vessels so far have been delivered ahead of schedule and in budget to the full satisfaction of the client.” Previously, Damen had worked extensively with Serco in the UK on a 29-vessel order completed in 2010. “We took the lessons we all learnt onboard for this contract. For instance, rather than having five project managers we have one to make sure all communications are streamlined efficiently. This is also the first regular contact Damen has had with the Royal Australian Navy and we hope that this positive experience means that the Navy will consider Damen in the future.” He adds: “We started talks in 2007 but ultimately I think DMS Maritime chose Damen because of our ability to have all of the different types of vessels under one form of contract. During the tendering process we were able to get together with our product groups and give a very fast response and support DMS throughout the entire tender process with our project engineers, research and finance people. We could show that we have proven designs and a track record for on time delivery, in budget.” Training Damen is also responsible for delivering all 11 vessels to Australia and carrying out the initial training and introduction into service. The services will be carried out by Damen Australia. source : maritime-executive.com

Wärtsilä wins integrated solutions contract for new Siem Offshore LNG Platform Supply Vessel

Wärtsilä, the marine industry’s leading solutions and services provider, has been contracted to supply

an integrated solution comprising ship design services and the power and propulsion system for a newbuild LNG powered Platform Supply Vessel (PSV). The contract has been signed with the Norwegian yard Hellesøy Verft, and this will be the eighth vessel built at Hellesøy to be based on the Wärtsilä Ship Design VS 485 series. The vessel will be owned and operated by Siem Offshore on a charter contract for TOTAL. The vessel is of Wärtsilä VS4411 LNG PSV design and features Wärtsilä power and propulsion, electrical and automation systems, including a complete four-split Wärtsilä Low Loss Concept (LLC) solution. This highly redundant electric power distribution system enables energy-efficiency increases of 2 to 4 percent, reduced electrical losses leading to greater fuel economy, while providing additional reliability for continuous operation. It also improves lifecycle performance and the fully-integrated design significantly reduces integration risks. The PSV will also be equipped with the Wärtsilä LNGPac LNG storage and handling system. The PSV is scheduled to be operational from 2014 and will serve the Martin Linge oilfield, North-West of Stavanger, Norway. It has been designed to specifically meet TOTAL’s North Sea operational requirements. “The LNG PSV for Siem Offshore is the ninth to be designed by Wärtsilä Ship Design and further strengthens our position as the global leader in supplying integrated solutions for LNG PSVs. The order is testimony to our reputation for reliable, efficient and competitive solutions,” comments Riku-Pekka Hägg, Vice President, Wärtsilä Ship Design.

Close to half of Siem’s fleet consists of vessels with Wärtsilä ship design and equipment. Ten of the company’s anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels have been designed by Wärtsilä and are equipped with complete hybrid diesel electric propulsion systems from Wärtsilä. This will be the first of Siem’s vessels to be powered by LNG. Wärtsilä’s acquisition of Hamworthy and the subsequent integration of Hamworthy’s portfolio has expanded Wärtsilä’s offering with enhanced gas bunkering, storage and feedsystem, thereby strengthening its technology leadership in LNG powered vessels. With this new order, the number of LNG powered PSVs reaches 17. Wärtsilä has designed eight and has supplied dual-fuel machinery to 15 of these 17 vessels. Last year, Wärtsilä expanded its offering to include LNG storage and gas handling systems. This vessel marks the fifth LNG powered PSV vessel to use Wärtsilä’s gas handling system. source : wartsila.com

Chinese deliveries soar

According to a latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, during October, Chinese shipyards delivered overall 7.6 million DWT of steel ships to local shipowners, up by 20.3% year-on-year and up by 45.91% month-on-month. Moreover, new orders also increased during the same month. Statistical data from Glinfo.com showed that Chinese shipyards contracted a total of 59 newbuildings, up by 19 vessels from September. Among them, 15 low-margin new buildings, up by seven vessels month-on-month, and nine offshore drilling platforms were contracted. Local sources attributed shipping and shipbuilding woes on the troubled economy in the US, along with an uncertain global economy, forecasting that the market downturn will not be recovered in the short term.

Chinese shipbuilders’ delivery of new building steel ships for domestic owners sharply increased last month.

China revival provides boost for Vossloh

Vossloh has recorded an improved third quarter following a “modest” first half to 2012. The rai infrastructure and technology experts have announced nine-month sales figures slightly above last year’s results thanks to a strong performance by the company’s rail infrastructure division. Nine-month sales by the rail infrastructure division totalled 571.5 million euros, just below 2011′s 573.9 million euros.

Ore. rail line sees rebirth after 4 years When the railroad closed, hundreds of jobs vanished. Engineers had to find other rail companies. Business that relied on rail to transport goods contracted, some considered closing. ‘It’s like I was on a two-week vacation for two years,” said Randy King, a former engineer on the coastal railway that connects Eugene with Coos Bay. King left Oregon for another job after the line to Coos Bay was embargoed, due to years of deferred maintenance, in 2007. Two years later he lost that job, so he returned to the South Coast to look for work and care for his ailing father. His story mirrors dozens of other South Coast residents directly connected to the railroad. And like most of them, it ends happy. When the Coos Bay Rail Link re-opened in 2011, King got his job back. ‘It’s like riding a bike,” he said, smiling beside the CBRL’s bright blue locomotive. ‘You never really forget.” Rail workers and customers may be happy now, but they say the four years without service took a toll. For example: American Bridge built a $12 million steel fabrication facility outside Reedsport in 2003. The company felt it needed a factory that could produce customized steel components for West Coast construction projects. Its only other fabrication facility was near Pittsburgh, Penn. “Douglas County made this site very attractive,” said Fred Jacquot, American Bridge’s sales manager. He stood in the Reedsport facility’s main office building. “We needed a site that had water access and rail access,” he said. “We chose this site because we needed rail

access.”

At its peak, the company employed about 100 people. Office workers placed orders and handled contract bids. General laborers hauled materials and readied work areas. Welders shaped metal sheets into enormous bridge components. Thousands of tons of steel moved in

and out of Reedsport on rail cars. For four years, the company climbed. Then in Sept. 2007, without warning, the railroad folded. Almost overnight, the plant went quiet. “When we lost the ability to ship by rail, we couldn’t compete in the Midwest,” Jacquot said. A rail car can carry four times the tonnage a semi-truck can, and costs far less to hire. Without rail, the company could no longer afford to bid on large projects, or any project outside the immediate region. American Bridge entered the Great Recession already wounded. Within months, 100 employees shrunk to 10. “If we did not have a railroad,” Jacquot said, “we would not have been able to stay at this facility.” It was a similar story at all the local sawmills, except sawmills used the railroad almost every day, shipping lumber around the country. When the rail closed, there weren’t enough trucks to handle the volume of lumber being shipped. In the four years the railroad was embargoed, the trucking industry adjusted to fill local demand. But the raised shipping costs wore down lumber mills, already hurting from Great Recession’s construction slump. “It was a one-two punch,” Jacquot said. And all he could do was wait and see if rail service would come back.

“This railroad, they had let it go for a long period of time,” said Tom Foster, CBRL’s general manager. “They thought it wasn’t worth repairing, and they didn’t care. They didn’t care about the community.” source : sfgate.com

ROAD TRANSPORT

Meeting environmental challenges: Electric motorways – a future possibility Scania is working on solutions to reduce CO2 emissions which as yet are only in the experimental stage. Electric motorways may sound a bit like science fiction, but it is a field where Scania even today is involved in several different projects. The car industry has launched electric cars of different kinds but a major challenge in the case of commercial vehicles is the limitation in battery technology, which for example cannot provide enough capacity for a truck carrying a 25 tonne payload, driven very long distances. However, if a vehicle can obtain electric power from the roadway itself, the potential will be much greater. A number of advantages A future system of electrified motorways has a number of advantages: there is less environmental impact from operation of vehicles, electric engines are more efficient than ordinary internal combustion engines and power can be supplied to the vehicles without needing to use heavy batteries. Several interesting projects relating to electrified roads are underway in Sweden. One example is Scania’s cooperation with Siemens regarding electric truck operation on the road between Pajala and the iron mine at Svappavaara in far northern Sweden. A realistic alternative There, trucks containing iron ore will drive round-the-clock for reloading to the Iron Ore Line, a railway that will carry the ore to a port on the Atlantic coast of northern Norway. In a recent report, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) stated that electrically-powered trucks are a realistic alternative. Power supplied by overhead cables is probably also the best solution for this service, since the road is built on bogs and moves up and down. “Development of our electrified vehicle has to take place on a stepby-step basis,” explains Johan Lindström, Expert Engineer at Hybrid Systems Development, Scania.

“We are using electrified gearboxes developed in hybrid projects, but then a large electrical motor must be added to the powertrain to drive 90 tonnes of payload entirely by electricity.” However, some problems would have to be resolved in order to adapt such a system to enable both heavy vehicles and ordinary cars to obtain power from aerial lines. Flexible solution Scania is therefore also examining solutions where vehicles obtain their power supply from the roadway through induction or some other technique. This will deliver a more flexible solution where all vehicles can use the system and thus share the large investment cost

the road network.

to rebuild

A feasibility study from the Svenska Elvägar (“Swedish Electric Roads”) project shows that electrification of heavy road traffic in Sweden would make it possible to reduce CO2 emissions by 4.2 million tonnes, equivalent to 9 percent of national fossil fuel emissions. Together with Volvo Powertrain, Bombardier, Alstom and other companies within the transport industry, Scania has applied for funding from the government-backed Strategic Automotive Research and Innovation (FFI) research programme, for a study on electric road transport systems, which is expected to be completed in early 2013. In Scania’s view, different solutions will be required in different markets to make such systems commercially viable in meeting future emission challenges. This is due to varying access to alternative fuels and also depends on how developed the electrical infrastructure will be in the future. Scania has a good starting position, given its extensive experience of a modular product range. Scania Transport Conference “Ecolution by Scania for sustainable growth – Competitive solutions for reducing CO2 in road transport” is the theme for the Scania Transport Conference 2012. The conference will be held 14 November in Brussels, Belgium. source : scania.com

concerns about this project. Among the OTA’s main objections was that the shipper would be responsible for conducting the pilot and for ensuring the safe operation of the trucks and trailers instead of the actual carrier — which Walmart named as Interstate Freight Systems Inc (IFS) — and that by allowing this to happen the MTO was radically altering the trucking regulation landscape. Bob Nichols, a spokesperson for the MTO, told sister publication MM&D this pilot will follow in the same tradition as past pilot projects, especially when it comes down to who is responsible and answerable for the trucks and trailers. “There is no change as to how these permits are being handled,” says Nichols. “The permits for this limited pilot will be issued to Walmart’s carrier and not to Walmart.”

MTO weighs in on Walmart’s supercube trailers TORONTO, Ont. -- The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has answered some of the questions surrounding the use of a 60.5-ft. “supercube” trailer developed by Walmart. As reporter earlier, Walmart officials said they have received permission from the provincial government’s ministry of transportation (MTO) to conduct a pilot project to test two tractors and four trailers to demonstrate the units are capable of being operated safely. The announcement that Walmart would be responsible for the pilot caused the Ontario Trucking Association (OTA) to issue a notice citing

Additionally, he says the carrier must have a good safety record. “Carriers with ‘Conditional’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’ Carrier Safety Ratings may not qualify for permits. Carriers with such ratings must immediately cease operations.” Nichols says that at this point in time, the trucks and trailers aren’t on the road, and they won’t be put into use until the details of the pilot have been finalized. “The ministry is currently in the process of sorting out the details of how this very limited and controlled trial operation will take place. MTO is working with industry to finalize the conditions for trial operations, including how many carriers would be allowed to participate.” source : trucknews.com powerful 265-kW (360-hp) engine with a displacement of 10.7 litres already meets the Euro VI emissions standard today, and guarantees its operators a high level of economic efficiency, thanks to its long service life and low consumption of fuel, AdBlue and engine oil.

Some years later, operations were expanded to include the first group travel services. Today, BBS Reisen Brandner GmbH operates 110 buses on public transport routes and also offers an extensive range of individual and group travel services. source : daimler.com

Stuttgart/Neu-Ulm – BBS Brandner Bus Schwaben in Günzburg has added three Setra S 417 UL intercity coaches to its fleet. The new Setra MultiClass 400 vehicles are already equipped with Euro VI engines – this means that the Swabian bus company is already relying on drive technology today that will not be prescribed by law until 2014. The three-axle coaches will help the company, which has been a Setra partner for many years, to assume a pioneering role in terms of the environmental compatibility of its regular bus services in the districts of Günzburg, Neu-Ulm, Augsburg-Land and Unterallgäu. “As a future-oriented company, we consider it self-evident that we should have the latest bus technology in our fleet as standard”, said Managing Director Josef Brandner at the official handover of the coaches at the Ulm-based Daimler brand’s customer centre in NeuUlm: “Our passengers can depend on being able to travel in the most environmentally compatible buses that are currently available on the market for this segment.” The three S 417 UL models seat 61 passengers and are equipped with the in-line, six-cylinder OM 470 engines from the newly developed MB Blue Efficiency Power engine series.

Talbert Introduces 50-Ton Traveling Axle Trailer

Talbert Manufacturing’s 50 ton (45 t) 5051 traveling axle trailer has been designed for customers that need to comply with 43-ft. (13 m) kingpin laws and regulations. Kingpin laws vary state to state but generally apply to any trailer longer than 48 ft. (14.6 m) and less than 53 ft. (16 m). These regulations typically dictate the maximum distance from the kingpin to the last axle must measure 43 ft. or less. Adding to its series of traveling axle trailers, Talbert pushed the deck length to the limit, designing a 51-ft. (15.5 m) traveling axle trailer to maximize the lower deck length and still meet the 43-ft. kingpin law. The 15,000-lb. (6,804 kg) planetary winch, which comes standard on all trailers in Talbert’s 50-Ton TA Series, provides customers with an efficient winch. source : talbertmfg.com

Daimler Trucks wins Japanese Award for Innovative Technology in Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid

For the first time in the history of Japanese passenger car awards, the “Car of the Year Special Award 2013” has been awarded to a truck manufacturer. The winner is the Japanese Daimler Commercial Vehicles subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC). The non-profit organization singled out the innovative, fully-automated dual-clutch transmission DUONIC® paired with a highly efficient hybrid drive at the “Automotive Researchers´ and Journalists´ Conference” (RJC) held in Japan. This technology, which is unique in the commercial vehicles industry, completes the light-duty truck Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid, which is also serially produced for the European market in Tramagal, Portugal since September of this year. The RJC organization founded in 1990 is comprised of automotive experts and journalists from the automobile industry in Japan. The annual “Car of the Year Award” is one of the most prominent automobile awards in Japan. Dr. Albert Kirchmann, MFTBC President and CEO: “We are honored to have received this prestigious award. It is a huge milestone achieved at Fuso in Japan and a great honor for the Daimler Trucks Group.”

Kirchmann underlines: “The award is proof of Fuso’s leadership role in green innovation.” A particularly persuasive argument for winning the title “Car of the Year Special Award 2013” is the DUONIC® dual-clutch transmission with a built-in hybrid drive in the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid. This drive technology, combined with a powerful lithium-ion battery, reaps top scores for fuel economy and low emissions. Thus, the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid uses up to 23 percent less fuel than a comparable conventional Fuso Canter. Growth Strategy “FUSO 2015” – Leader in Green Innovation Through the optimization of truck operating costs (total cost of ownership) and the reduction of CO2 emissions by 7.5 percent, Fuso is on the way to playing a key role in fuel efficiency and green innovations. This claim is based on one of the five strategic pillars of the “FUSO 2015” growth strategy, with which Fuso plans to double its international sales to 200,000 units per year in the medium-term. source : daimler.com

Boeing joined with Ethiopian Airlines and Seattle Anesthesia Outreach (SAO) to deliver approximately 20,000 pounds (9,000 kilograms) of medical supplies to Ethiopia’s largest hospital. The delivery was made to Black Lion Hospital using Ethiopian’s third 787 Dreamliner, marking the first time a Dreamliner has been used as part of Boeing’s Humanitarian Delivery Flights program. “Ethiopian Airlines is one of Boeing’s most active partners in our Humanitarian Delivery Flights program,” said Liz Warman, director of Boeing Global Corporate Citizenship for the Northwest region. “Our two companies have a long history together not only buying and selling airplanes, but also in leveraging our resources to help those in need.” The airliner was delivered and flew away from Everett yesterday and flew directly to Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, where it will land after an approximately 15-hour non-stop flight. “Ethiopian Airlines continues to be a leader in corporate social responsibility activities in Ethiopia,” said Tewolde Gebre Mariam, CEO of Ethiopian Airlines. “As the flag carrier for the country of Ethiopia, we are viewed as not only an airline but also as a source of vital service for the people of Ethiopia. We are proud and honoured to work with Boeing to help our people and country where we have such great needs.” The shipment includes several anaesthesia machines to be used in the hospital’s operating rooms, patient monitoring equipment, as well as intensive care beds and other surgical equipment. SAO has more than 20 physicians, nurses and technicians in Addis Ababa who will help set up the equipment and spend the several weeks teaching in the

hospital. “Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines continue to be critical partners and supporters of our organization, helping us get these needed medical supplies to Black Lion Hospital, the largest public hospital and main teaching facility in Ethiopia,” said Dr. Julian Judelman, board member of Seattle Anesthesia Outreach. Boeing Humanitarian Delivery Flights The Boeing Humanitarian Delivery Flights program is a collaboration effort between Boeing, airline customers and non-profit organisations to deliver humanitarian aid throughout the world to communities in need or crisis. The humanitarian items are loaded into the empty cargo space of new aircraft being delivered and transported to the customer’s home destination. Ethiopian Airlines has seven 787 Dreamliners remaining on order. The airline is the first African operator of the 787, 777-200LR and 777 Freighter. Ethiopian Airlines currently operates an all-Boeing fleet of 737, 757, 767, 777, and 787 aircraft in passenger service, and has 757, MD11, 777F and 747 aircraft in cargo operations. source : planetalkinglive.com

The authority’s deputy chairman Richard Bean said the action was another reminder to businesses about paying attention to what their customers were saying. “This is one of a number of investigations in which the ACMA has found businesses have allowed faulty unsubscribe facilities to continue, in spite of repeated customer complaints,” Mr Bean said. They also should test their email-unsubscribe facilities regularly, and not simply set and forget them, he said.

Tiger fined $110,000 for spamming customers Tiger Airways has been hit with a $110,000 fine for continuing to spam customers after they unsubscribed from marketing emails. An investigation by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found the airline failed to remove customers despite their repeated requests. “Businesses ... should pay attention to what their customers are saying” The emails also continued despite several warnings from ACMA.

“This action is another reminder to businesses that that they should pay attention to what their customers are saying.” Tiger has since committed to making sure its unsubscribe facilities were functional and effective. “Marketing to customers who have unsubscribed is not only against the law, it causes consumer frustration and that ultimately damages a business’s reputation,” Mr Bean said. source : smh.com.au

Boeing Starts Building First 777 at Increased Rate EVERETT - Boeing today began building the first 777 at the highest rate ever for a Boeing twin-aisle airplane. The rate of 8.3 airplanes per month is a nearly 20 percent increase over the previous seven per month rate. The first part, the lower lobe of the aft fuselage, of the first 777 to be built at the new rate was loaded into position in the factory earlier today. “The preparation the team has done for this historic rate increase has been comprehensive from floor to ceiling,” said Scott Fancher, 777 vice president and general manager. “We’ve hired and trained hundreds of additional employees and the efforts of the team to get us to this point have been simply outstanding,” he said. New technologies have been implemented to achieve the highest production rate the Everett plant has seen. Flex-track drilling machines in the 777 body and wings area along with automated spray-painting equipment have enabled employees to increase productivity and improve quality and safety. “This rate increase reflects the strong demand for the 777. It continues to be the clear leader in the 300-400 passenger seat market,” Fancher

said. The airplane, a 777 Freighter, will be delivered to Korean Air in February 2013. 1,049 777s are currently in service. 1,380 have been ordered from 63 customers around the globe. source : boeing.com

Aeroflot takes delivery of its 100th Airbus aircraft, an A330 Aeroflot, the Russian national carrier, has taken delivery of another A330-300, which will become the 100th Airbus aircraft to enter service with the airline. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines, Aeroflot’s A330-300 features a spacious and comfortable two-class cabin layout seating 296 passengers (28 in business and 268 in economy class). Aeroflot plans to deploy the aircraft on numerous routes on its medium and long-haul network. Aeroflot was the first airline in Russia to operate the A310, with an entry into service in 1992, as well as the first to operate the A320 Family (in 2003) and the A330 Family (in 2008). Currently the airline operates a fleet of 79 A320 Family aircraft and with today’s delivery 21 A330 Family aircraft. “We congratulate Aeroflot, a long-standing partner of Airbus, with this milestone delivery’’, said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. ‘’We are convinced that the carrier will continue to benefit from the most efficient Airbus Family fleet, while its passengers will continue to enjoy the highest level of comfort on board Airbus aircraft .”

The A330 Family, which spans 250 to 300 seats, and includes Freighter, VIP, and Military Transport/Tanker variants, has now attracted more than 1,200 orders, with around 900 aircraft flying with some 90 operators worldwide. Ever since the original version of the A330-300 entered service, the hallmark has been its very efficient operating economics. Thanks to the introduction of numerous product improvements, it still remains the most cost-efficient and capable aircraft in its class. The cabin is widely recognized as one of the quietest cabins in the sky offering a light spacious atmosphere, making flying less tiring and more pleasurable.

Lufthansa Cargo receives ÖkoGlobe award Lufthansa Cargo has landed one of the 2012 internationally renowned ÖkoGlobe awards for ecological innovations in recognition of its development and use of lightweight containers. The cargo airline won third place in the mobility platform and logistics structure category after Volkswagen and Deutsche Post.

Lufthansa Cargo Manager Markus Witte, under whose management the container was developed, emphasised at the presentation ceremony in Cologne: “It is becoming increasingly evident that the mobility industry is investing substantially in innovation and making immense efforts proactively in order to reduce CO2 emissions. We are proud that Lufthansa Cargo has won recognition for its lightweight containers with this environmental award, which has previously been captured mainly by the automotive industry. That motivates us to continue developing innovative and environmentally friendly ideas.” In cooperation with its Jettainer subsidiary, Lufthansa Cargo has initiated a large-scale replacement programme involving the use of around 5,000 lightweight containers made from composite material in the next few years. The new-type containers, 13 kilos lighter than conventional aluminium containers, appreciably lower the fuel burn of aircraft and their CO2 emissions. The ÖkoGlobe award, conferred in ten different categories, is the international environmental prize for the mobility industry and its suppliers. It was jointly initiated by the DEVK insurance group, TÜV Rhineland and the ÖkoGlobe Institute of Duisburg-Essen University. For its efforts in the interest of sustainability, the Lufthansa Group landed several other prestigious awards in 2012, among them the Eco Aviation Award from the US Air Transport World magazine, the Airline Strategy Award in the Environment category from the British Airline Business magazine and top honours within the airline industry in the “Doing it All” category at the World Savers Awards from the US Condé Nast Traveller travel magazine. source : lufthansa-cargo.com

Airfreight rates soar ex-Asia as China Southern calls for fiscal policy change China Southern Cargo has called on the Chinese government

to loosen its fiscal and monetary policy in the fourth quarter, in an attempt to buoy the economy. The carrier’s analyst Huang Jianwei wrote: “Only when the Chinese government further loosens the fiscal and monetary policy, the real economy will recover and the air cargo market will get out of a falling trend. If the measures are taken in the fourth quarter of this year, the market will recover before Easter 2013.” Poor exports this year out of China have been generally accounted for by lack of consumer demand in the traditional markets of the US and Europe. However, noted Mr Huang, there are other factors in play. Although the shift of manufacturing out of the coastal cities to the west of China has been well-documented, analysts say that it has been perhaps more significant than realised – and that the transition has in part contributed to the recent slowdown in Chinese exports. “In the short term, the economy of coastal cities will lose the support of the manufacturing industry,” noted Mr Huang. “At the same time, the inland cities cannot create the same size of manufacturing. These cause slowdown of China’s GDP growth, [and] adversely affect the recovery of the air cargo market.” China’s international trade rose just 6.2% between January and September this year – but in September, exports rose to a high of $186bn – up 10% from a year ago. While exports to Europe contracted for the third month in a row, exports to the US rose for the third consecutive month, and are expected to stay strong for the remainder of the year. source : airfreight-shippers.com

Air cargo carriers react differently to Hurricane Sandy on US east coast Hurricane Sandy has disrupted supply chains worldwide, resulting in more than 12,000 cancelled flights and airport closures,

estimated to cost USD 20 billion. UPS officials told Air Cargo World Air Cargo World that the express delivery giant forced to reroute flights. “Supply chains were paused to and from the affected areas or have seen volumes diverted to alternate secure storage areas in the UPS network,” said Mr. Vito Losurdo, UPS airfreight vice president. Mr. Losurdo also said UPS rerouted flights to and from impacted areas to the company’s Louisville World Port facility, which was untouched by the storm, which “limited disruption to our customers’ supply chains.” FedEx spokeswoman Ms. Shea Leordeanu said FedEx closed facilities and stopped deliveries in some areas and would resume them when “safe to do so”. Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific expressed doubts that John F Kennedy International Airport was ready to open and cancelled all JFK flights on Tuesday and Wednesday, rerouting freight through Chicago.

Mr. Eberle said the storm only minimally affected Lufthansa Cargo operations. “Our staff is working flat out at the airline’s stations to keep any inconvenience to customers to an absolute minimum,” he said. source : transreporter.com

EU Shelves Airline Carbon Tax After Sustained International Furore THE European Union has bowed to international pressure by announcing that it will shelve the emissions trading scheme (ETS) until April 2014 when it may again re-introduce it. But for this year at least the EU said it will not require airlines to submit their allowances in April 2013 for emissions generated during 2012. EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard said that if the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) failed to reach a global solution to lowering carbon emissions by next autumn, the EU would move forward with its scheme, reports Air Cargo World. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) welcomed the move. IATA director general Tony Tyler, and former Cathay Pacific CEO, said “stopping the clock represents a significant step in the right direction and creates an opportunity for the international community”. IATA estimates that complying with the EU carbon tax - in which carriers that exceed the EU’s carbon limits must buy credits - could cost the industry US$3.5 billion by 2020. Some non-EU governments have ordered their carriers not to participate in the emissions trading scheme (ETS). The Chinese and Indian governments went so far as say European Airbus should look elsewhere for orders if the EU persisted with its tax. One feature carriers and governments alike found distasteful about the carbon tax was that it proposed to tax carbon emissions beyond its borders thus giving EU law extraterritorial powers. Another objection was that it usurped the internationally agreed role of the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to regulate these matters. source : euexaminer.eu www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol. 02 / II | JANUARY 2013

ENERGY

Diesel vs natural gas generators There are many variables to consider when deciding between diesel or natural gas-powered generators.

Typically, the price of natural gas is lower than that of diesel fuel. However, natural gas generators can cost up to twice as much as comparable diesel models. Generally, the smaller the generator, the less differential you will see in price. While both diesel and natural gas prices fluctuate throughout the year, the cost of diesel is tethered to the global oil supply, so it fluctuates considerably. In a worst case, the cost to refuel your generator could go up hundreds of dollars overnight and could continue to rise unchecked. Natural gas is a cleaner fuel and picking a gas generator can win you green points. Natural gas is more abundant, on a global scale, than diesel. However, diesel may be more widely available near your site, as gas lines aren’t ubiquitous. If you need a generator and don’t have pipeline access nearby, diesel makes more sense. If you plan to use a diesel generator, check the fuel regularly, because diesel can spoil. source : equipmentworld.com

Japan’s Agressive FIT Already Unlocking Gigawatts of Wind and Solar Power

TOKYO -- As Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and billionaire Masayoshi Son lead a swarm of investors exploiting Japan’s solar power subsidies, the world’s biggest, Sumitomo Corp. is betting on wind. The trading house, Japan’s second-largest investor in power generation outside utilities, will add wind farms and at least two biomass plants to take advantage of the above-market rates for electricity from renewable sources the government introduced in July. Sumitomo’s local utility, Summit Energy Corp., expects profits from wind power to triple in as many years, said the unit’s president, Shinichi Kitamura.

Sumitomo’s focus is in part a response to a rush into solar projects that’s pushing up land prices and salaries, as well as luring investors from gambling parlor operators to asset managers. While government data show that Japan can build wind farms at a cheaper price and with higher returns than solar, 99 percent of applications for the new tariffs are for electricity generated from sunlight.

GE’s Wind Business Is Growing with Gusto

How big is a large wind turbine? When fully assembled, GE’s largest land-based wind turbine stands a third of the height of the Eiffel Tower. Its glass fiber composite blades stretch out more than 50 yards and sweep an area larger that a football field. It generates enough electricity at full power to supply 1,900 U.S. homes. GE has installed 1,000 of these 2.5 megawatt turbines in 19 countries around the world since the first one shipped in 2005. (The most recent one started spinning this week in Romania.) The tally includes 338 turbines for America’s second largest wind farm, the Shepherds Flat project in Oregon. That farm, which spreads across 30 square miles of fields, hills and valleys south of the Columbia River, launched last month. The turbines, which are part of GE’s ecomagination portfolio, will produce 2 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year, enough to supply 235,000 households, and eliminate nearly 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of taking 260,000 cars off the road. Some 400 workers spent two years building the farm and 45 employees will run it GE is the leading wind turbine manufacturer in the growing U.S. market, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). AWEA said that U.S. wind turbines can now generate 50,000 megawatts of electricity, the same amount as 11 nuclear power plants or 44 coal-fired plants. Wind energy now powers the equivalent of nearly 13 million American homes. States like South Dakota and Iowa draw 20 percent of their electricity from wind.

Global primary energy demand could double to 400 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Mboe/d”) in the first half of the 21st century, from some 200 Mboe/d in 2000, and 270 Mboe/d in 2011, driven by the non-OECD economies. Some two thirds of energy consumption in 2030 could be in the non-OECD, compared to 56% today. Meeting this growth in demand will require large scale and sustained investment in all forms of energy, with an energy mix that is 80% hydrocarbons today, and it will be dominated by hydrocarbons for some time to come. Natural gas, which is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, has an important role to play, with more than 250 years of global supply established, and emerging exploration potential, especially in shale gas. Shell expects global natural gas demand to increase by 60% from 2010 to 2030, reaching 25% of the global primary energy mix and within that, strong growth in LNG. source : shell.com

GE has spent $2 billion on renewable energy innovation over the last decade, and last year the wind business received 152 clean energy patents. There’s more to come. For example, engineers at GE Global Research are looking at superconducting MRI magnets from GE’s healthcare imaging machines to develop turbines that have nearly twice the power capacity as the largest models today. source : gereports.com

Taking the Wheel of Intelligent Transport Oppama – Nissan’s test track south of its Yokohama headquarters is home to some of the latest advanced technology – the kind of things that could be in your next car. One of the devices is fitted to this car, no ordinary Nissan LEAF, in which the car actually steers itself to avoid knocking over pedestrians. Yoji Seto is from Nissan’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Development Department. “The sensors installed on this car detected that a pedestrian jumped out. And at the same time detected a safe escape zone,” he said. “The steering wheel automatically turned to avoid the collision.” It’s not just about making cars safer, but also improving driving pleasure. This is the Infiniti G37S and it’s also going to face special test conditions. The challenge for engineers has long been how to get the right kind of direct feel in the steering so the driver feels involved with hustling the car along. In most cars if you go over bumps such as manholes you will feel a lot of juddering in the steering wheel, but not this one, as the steering is electronic. There’s no mechanical link most of the time between the steering and the wheels, so even if you go over really big bumps, there’s no judder at all. Still, the steering is very direct and this next-generation steering could be available as early as next year. source : nissan-global.com

Boeing, Air Force Research Laboratory Sodium Guide Star Laser Enhancing Space Situational Awareness Mission KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE - A sodium guide star laser built by Boeing [NYSE: BA] and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) began operating recently on a telescope at Kirtland Air Force Base, greatly increasing the ability of AFRL scientists to acquire detailed images of objects in Earth orbit. The 50-watt laser, installed on a 3.5-meter telescope at Kirtland’s Starfire Optical Range, illuminates sodium atoms in the atmosphere with an intense laser beam. The laser creates an artificial guide star, which is used to measure the blurring effect caused by turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere; an adaptive optics (AO) system uses this measurement to correct the blurring effect. The guide star laser will increase the detail of the images captured from this telescope. “The addition of this sodium guide star laser, along with improvements to the AO system sensitivity, will make it possible for us to reliably obtain satellite images with more accurate and precise details than ever before,” said AFRL Principal Investigator Dennis Montera. “This is a critically important step in increasing our capabilities in space situational awareness.” Boeing has supported the telescopes at Starfire Optical Range for more than 30 years. Under the AFRL’s Innovative Research and Optical Support Services contract, Boeing is responsible for improving the site’s capability in atmospheric compensation, laser communications, and other technical areas. “This new guide star laser is an evolutionary step in the maturing of adaptive optics technology. It is much more reliable than the device that has been in use for the past eight years. This improved laser will enable the future development of adaptive optics technology,” said David DeYoung, director of Laser Technical Services for Boeing Directed Energy Systems. “The team’s achievement of ‘first light’ is a testament to our close working relationship with the Air Force and our commitment to support current and future missions.” source : boeing.mediaroom.com

30 tower controllers from Aviation Capacity Resources AB (ACR) – a private air navigation service provider in Sweden - received emergency training provided in the mobile simulator that was transported and put into operation next to their tower units, Stockholm Västerås and Växjö. “The mobile training solution obviously brings many advantages to our customers” – says Eva Håkansson, Client Manager at Entry Point North. “We can perform the training next to the workplace meaning that controllers do not need to travel, pay for hotel accommodation

and be temporary relocated. This reduces the total training cost for the ANSP. We can work together to plan the training so, that it does not affect the daily working routine at the unit”. The MOS trailer can have a tower or a radar simulator, 2 controller positions and 2 pseudo pilot positions. It can be deployed easily and quickly almost anywhere as it only needs somewhere to park, access to power and an internet connection. The MOS trailer is ideal for small or moderate sized aerodromes for ATC training, refresher and emergency training. The exercises can be designed simulating the local airport/ airspace set-up to ensure the training is performed with a high level of realism. This also enables training to be more effective by simulating local traffic scenarios and/or unusual events that may only happen sporadically. source : airport-suppliers.com

TIRES

What’s inside of tyres

Tyre Section 1 - The inner liner. A layer of airtight synthetic rubber.This is found inside the tyre and is the modern equivalent of the inner tube. 2 - The casing ply. This casing is composed of fine textile fibre cords, laid down in straight lines and sandwiched in rubber. These cords are a key element in the structure of a tyre and enable it to resist pressure. In each individual ply of a car tyre, there are about 1400 cords, each one of which can resist a force of 15 kg. 3 - The lower bead area. This is where the rubber tyre grips the metal rim and its role is to transmit the power from the engine and braking effort from the rim of the tyre through to the contact patch. 4 - The bead wires The bead wires help to hold the tyre onto the rim. They can each take a load of up to 1800 kg without the risk of breakage and you have eight of them on your car, two per tyre. Thats a massive 14,400Kgs of strength where an average car weighs about 1,500kgs. The bead ‘wire’ is actually a cable but is made from a single piece of wire woven in a circle with the ends securely joined together for maximum strength. 5 - Supple rubber sidewalls These help to protect the tyre from shocks that could damage the casing, eg minor shocks against pavements, potholes etc. There is hard, protection rubber where the tyre joins the rim. 6 - Bracing plies. Reinforced with very fine, very resistant steel cords in a rubber sandwich. These two, (occasionally more), plies are stuck together and cross the tread area at angles of around 60∫ to each other. When the tyre is cured (baked), their steel cords cross the casing cords to form triangles. This is known as triangulation, and it makes the top of the tyre (its crown) rigid. The plies encircle the entire crown of the tyre, and perform a very complex role: they must be sufficiently rigid around the tyre’s circumference that they aren’t stretched by the rotation of the tyre so that the tyre doesn’t stretch and become larger. they must also be rigid across the tyre, to resist the stresses and strains of cornering. They must ALSO be flexible enough, to “absorb” deformations caused by bumps and lumps in the road and other obstacles that may be found. To make this work, steel has to be bonded with rubber which is very difficult to do in they way that we need it to be done, (it is not just ‘glued’) but Michelin has mastered the art of perfect bonding between these dissimilar materials, and which is absolutely essential to your safety. 7 - Safety ply. This cord allows the tyre to maintain a stable shape under the effect of speed and to reduce the effect of friction heating. It is reinforced with (generally) nylon based cords bedded in a layer of rubber and laid around the circumference of the tyre to prevent the effect of speed stretching the tyre. We sometimes refer to this as a ‘zero degree belt’. 8 - The tread layer The tread is laid over the bracing plies. It is the patterned part of the tyre that will be in contact with the road. The tread in the contact patch (the part of the tyre that touches the road) must be able to resist very significant stresses. The tread rubber compound must grip on all types of surfaces, resist wear and abrasion, and heat up as little as possible. All that then remains is to mould in the tread pattern and vulcanize (bake) all these semi-finished products together to form what we know as a whole tyre. source : supertyreswelwyn.co.uk 64

for example, in logistics for large supermarket chains. The design of the HTR 2 is based on a durable casing with the familiar 4-ply triangular belt and steel cord chafer. Thanks to a specially configured tire cross-section with greater air volume, the sidewall stability is increased decisively as is the suspension comfort. Finishing touches to the tire structure have also improved the retreading quality of this versatile high-tech tire for heavy transportation. On the EU tire label, the HTR 2 425/65 R 22.5 scores the good mark “B” for rolling resistance, “C” for wet grip and it has two sound waves for noise emissions.

Conti New size of trailer tire rounds off range Hanover - Continental has expanded its range of trailer tires. The Hanover-based tire manufacturer now also supplies the proven HTR 2 trailer tire for demanding road usage on regional routes in the size 425/65 R 22.5. The new trailer tire size completes the HTR 2 product range from Continental. The HTR 2 tire for high loads is characterized by high mileage combined with reduced rolling resistance. This results in a noticeable fall in fuel consumption and costs. The tire with load index 165 for loads up to 5.15 tonnes is used above all on trailers with one or two axles that have to carry almost the whole weight of the trailer as is the case,

All Continental tires in the new R line feature the patented AirKeep® technology. This halves creeping inflation air loss due to air diffusion. A special inner layer made from enlarged rubber molecules makes this possible. It holds the pressure longer at the prescribed value which has a positive impact on fuel consumption

Innovative Bridgestone TPMS improves fleet uptime and fuel consumption

Senior Manager, Business Innovation, Commercial Products Division, Bridgestone Europe. “With this ‘average’ pressure condition, fleet fuel consumption would be 0.6% higher than if all tyres were running at recommended pressure levels.”

Bridgestone is rolling out an innovative TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) across Europe in order to provide a more thorough pressure maintenance service to contract fleet customers. With service provision supplied by Truck Point, tyres requiring attention are not only identified but also serviced back to peak condition. Two main benefits for the fleet are optimal fuel consumption and reduced breakdowns

Tyre breakdowns at the roadside are frequently caused by slow punctures: a nail penetration can sit for days or even weeks before a noticeable pressure loss is detected. Often the leak is not seen at all and the tyre runs to the point where it fails with a rapid pressure loss. In this case not only will the roadside breakdown be more costly than a regular tyre change, but the vehicle will also be stopped until the service can be made and the tyre casing value will be lost. Additionally, a tyre blowout can lead to large tyre parts being thrown onto the road, causing a hazard to other road users source : bridgestone.eu

Studies show that tyres running at low pressure increase fuel consumption, and therefore CO2 emissions. For example, a tyre with a recommended pressure of 9 bar will use 5% more fuel when running at 7 bar. “From internal studies we can see that fleets have on average up to 25% of tyres running with pressure at least 10% below recommended levels and up to 5% with pressure at least 20% below” says Neil Purves,

Landoll Redesigns Traveling Tail A newly redesigned air-operated upper deck ramp is complete for Landoll Corporation’s traveling tail series. The air-operated ramp allows equipment to easily transition from the lower to upper decks on Landoll’s 900 series traveling tail trailer. Landoll engineers redesigned the Traveling Tail frames to accommodate a longer ramp which had previously only been available on the 930 double drop frame. The new longer ramp, is now 70.5 in. (179 cm) long, which reduces the load angle to 11.5 degrees. With the lowered load angle, the operator can load low-clearance equipment on the upper deck without “high centering” easily and safely. source : landoll.com

Philippi-Hagenbuch’s Lowboy Trailer, Vehicle Recovery Tool Ideal for Heavy Transport

Caterpillar New Opportunities for Small Thermal Power Plants in China

Philippi-Hagenbuch (PHIL) is officially launching its HiVol lowboy trailer and vehicle recovery tool (VRT) system for transporting equipment. The two pieces of equipment are designed to work independently or together as one integrated system to haul the largest, heaviest off-highway mining equipment quickly, easily and safely. The system also is designed for fast return on investment, typically paying for itself within a year, according to the manufacturer.

In China, the Wangtai Thermal Power Plant resembles more than just a dirty and dangerous power plant; it is a high-tech factory that provides cleaner and more efficient energy production. It is the face of modern energy production, and Cat® equipment is at its heart. The resource behind this new age of energy is coal-bed methane (CBM). Found in coal and highly flammable, CBM is more commonly known as a “killer gas” and is the number one cause of death in China’s coal mines. In the past, to ensure mine safety, CBM had to be discharged into the atmosphere. But since 2007, the Wangtai Thermal Power Plant has been using Cat® gas powered generators to convert this killer gas into a valuable source of energy.

The HiVol lowboy trailer-VRT combination provides the capacity necessary to haul ultra class rated equipment, a standard for mining equipment such as drills, loaders and high-capacity shovels. The system offers a hauling capacity of 400 to more than 2,000 tons (363 to 1,814 t). Whether providing initial transport into the mine pit, relocating a shovel from one pit to another or hauling a piece of downed equipment to the shop for repair, PHIL’s system is able to move nearly any piece of mining equipment, eliminating the need for multiple vehicles and trailers, according to the manufacturer source : philsystems.com

The plant, affiliated with the Jincheng Anthracite Mining Group, was established in 1991 and initially used coal gangue for thermal power generation. Since then, prompted by the government initiative “Clear Water & Blue Sky” to control pollution and promote a cleaner environment, the plant has transformed itself. According to Jia Baoguo, the plant’s production director, the 21 Cat G3520C CBM generator sets they bought had three profound impacts on the plant. source : caterpillar.com www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol. 02 / II | JANUARY 2013

First container school in Slovakia Amazing Homes and Offices Built from Shipping Containers Not just for resourceful squatters, container

architecture is taking the world by storm. Recycled freight containers bring efficiency, flexibility and affordability to innovative green buildings, from small vacation cabins to movable cafes, schools and skyscrapers. The Versatility of Containers Invented more than five decades ago, the modern shipping container is the linchpin in our global distribution network of products. In the containers go toys from China, textiles from India, grain from America and cars from Germany. In go electronics, chocolate and cheese. While a number of resourceful people have converted shipping containers to makeshift shelters at the margin of society for years, architects and green designers are also increasingly turning to the strong, cheap boxes as source building blocks. Shipping containers can be readily modified with a range of creature comforts, and can be connected and stacked to create modular, efficient spaces for a fraction of the cost, labor and resources of more conventional materials.

Our sister company KOMA SLOVAKIA built the first container school in Slovakia.

We are happy that the local representatives in Slovakia understand the advantages of modular buildings. The extension of the kindergarten in Lužianky for one class helped to solve the problem with accommodating twenty five children; and twenty five families in Lužianky could relax, as their problem was solved. For the construction of the extension the town councillors chose the Standard Line economic version with a higher inner height of 3,000 mm and the inner facing made of Fermacel plaster fibre plates with painted walls. The small town of Lužianky has become attractive for people over the past few years as they could buy land at favourable prices here, which caused an increase in the number of young families and, as a result, an increased number of people who would like to place their children in the kindergarten. We paid special attention to floor insulation so that the children, who usually play on the floor, do not feel cold. The decisive factor for the construction of this container school was the speed with which we could solve the problem. The production took 3 weeks and the assembly was finished in two days. source : koma-modular-construction.cz
