Pricing Strategies for LogisticsServices Masterclass 10th to 11th February 2014, Singapore
Amidst
the keen competition many logistics companies face in Singapore and other Asia-Pacific countries, communicating the right prices to customers in the provision of logistics services such as transportation, warehousing and supply chain management is vital to an organisation’s overall branding and marketing strategy. Justifying higher prices with a more service – driven focus and higher service efficiency with enhanced turnaround ability could be the determining factor that sets your organisation apart from the rest of the competition. Salvo Global’s 2-Day intensive Masterclass on “Pricing Strategies For Logistics Services” to be held in Singapore on the 10th to 11th February 2014 will provide delegates with a comprehensive range of strategies and approaches to pricing, including the concept of Value-Based Pricing, which takes into account not just
price-setting based on cost alone, but also the overall value received by the customer. Prices should be determined with a clear strategic concept and tools, such as Price-Value Analysis and Customer Analytics, will be shared with delegates to accelerate the achievement of this objective. Specific concerns such as labour costs, space constraints, and the status of Singapore as a logistics hub and distribution centre must be taken into account when customising pricing strategies. This Masterclass seminar is designed as an interactive mix of lectures, case studies, discussions and class exercises for delegates to develop real-life strategies that they could bring back to their respective organisations for sharing and implementation. The seminar trainer, with over 20 years’ experience is one of the world’s foremost pricing consultants known around the globe for his hands-on pragmatic approach integrating Value-Based Pricing within an organisation to strategy development and tactical pricing.

Damco Indonesia opens new Semarang warehouse At the end of August, Damco Indonesia
welcomed the first cargo of clothing to its new warehouse in Semarang, Central Java. The warehouse is Damco’s fourth container freight station (CFS) facility in Indonesia and the second in Semarang to support the strong growth of the footwear and apparel industry in Central Java. A new partnership Following a thorough review of potential business partners, Damco Indonesia chose Monang Sianipar Abadi (MSA), a well-known warehouse operator with several facilities in the country. Located less than 2km from Semarang international seaport, the MSA warehouse boasts three chambers, two of which are exclusively for Damco’s use. For Damco Indonesia and MSA, the partnership brings mutual benefit: Damco gains valuable warehouse space, while MSA benefits from Damco’s unrivalled knowledge of the international logistics business.
Secure and safe Work remains to be done before the new warehouse meets the Supply Chain Security Program (SCSP) standard – but much progress has been made. Damco’s compliance, health and safety experts have been offering guidance to MSA on compliance. This has led to reinforced perimeters, a reconstructed loading dock with new canopies and walls being rebuilt. By August, MSA had complied with most of the SCSP standards and the remaining, non-critical improvements will be realized within the next year. Business growth Within one week of opening, the two Semarang chambers were close to meeting their capacity. As a consequence, MSA is building two more chambers on spare land at the facility to meet rising demand in this important emerging market. SOURCE: damco.com

LOGISTICS YCH’s The Last Mile™ (TLM™) Solution to Boost Customer Connectivity & Operational Excellence for Royal FrieslandCampina in Indonesia optimisation as well as business intelligence and analytics tools, the TLM™ solution dynamically connects critical information in the areas of routing, delivery, vendor resourcing and ordering to provide its customers with benefits that will increase the efficiency of their end-consumer distribution. Using cutting-edge routing analytics technology, ‘on-the-road’ data is captured in real time and examined to ensure predictability, reliability and the safe delivery of goods. Consumers’ ordering profiles are analysed and optimised according to various business rules. Simultaneously, when orders are delivered to end-consumers, a database containing key information of consumer buying habits are collected, allowing brand owners to gain an insight into what their customers deem to be most important and respond accordingly with the right strategies to meet their customers’ unique needs.
The latest proprietary offering in routing and
delivery optimisation, and represents its commitment to developing innovative SCM solutions that raise supply chain standards in Asia Pacific. Jakarta, Indonesia, 27 November 2013 – Leading Singapore-based logistics and supply chain management (SCM) company YCH Group has launched their proprietary The Last Mile™ (TLM™) solution today to strengthen the last mile delivery network of their MNC customers. This was announced by Chairman & CEO of YCH Group, Dr Robert Yap, at the TLM™ Solution Launch held at YCH Indonesia in Citibung, Bekasi today, a month after the Group’s opening of the latest YCH DistriCentre in Surabaya. The realisation of the full end-to-end process and last mile fulfilment has typically been an arduous challenge in Asia’s complex and unevenly-developed terrains. Fulfilling the last mile has been challenging for supply chain partners due to the intimate knowledge required to navigate localities within these regions. YCH’s proprietary TLMTM solution increases the reach into unprecedented grounds while raising the level of service excellence YCH provides customers. With the last mile of a company’s supply chain often being the product’s first touch point to the end-consumer, having a smooth and efficient last mile fulfilment will ultimately help companies build stronger levels of trust and brand loyalty. Embedded with several of YCH’s core proprietary supply chain

CEO Dr Yap highlighted the immense potential that TLM™ solution can bring to Asia, as the region undergoes rapid transformation to become an economically-connected community. “With Asia moving towards greater integration and a more open free-trade environment, supply chain t echnologies that can foster multilateral trade flows and connect the intricate grounds of the region are crucial. The Last Mile™ (TLM™) solution will serve as the ultimate fulfilment tool that will boost connectivity for YCH’s MNC customers as they seize opportunities to tap onto Asia’s next phase of consumption-driven growth.” Vice President of Operations, YCH Group, Mr Tay Ee Learn also shared, “As companies push for growth in their businesses, they often struggle with having to play catch-up when reacting to their customers’ increasingly complex and shifting needs. YCH’s TLM™ solution has been developed to empower businesses with proactive visibility and game-changing capabilities, including the enhancement of their own operational efficiencies and fusing business analytics with e ssential supply chain technologies. This ultimately enables them to drive continuous improvement for steering business planning and growth.” YCH Indonesia has been chosen as the first YCH regional office and Centre of Excellence to launch the TLM™ solution for world-renowned FMCG company, Royal FrieslandCampina Indonesia, to help it tackle the challenge of an exceedingly vast network of diverse consumers spreading across the entire Indonesian archipelago.

General Manager of YCH Indonesia, Mr Iman Gandi said, “ Despite the country’s complexity, YCH Indonesia has established operational excellence with over 1.5 million square feet of advanced warehousing space that is complimented by a comprehensive distribution network that reaches even the most far-flung areas in its 17,000 islands. As we continue to grow from strength-to-strength, we are delighted to present the TLM™ showcase today – a highly collaborative and dynamic platform that will better connect all our suppliers, partners and customers within the ecosystem, to jointly achieve ongoing improvements in supply chain visibility, optimization and reach.” Mr Faisal Reza, Head of Supply Chain Management, Frisian Flag Indonesia said at the TLM™ launch, “FrieslandCampina has been a trusted brand in Indonesia for almost ninety years, processing some 600 million litres of milk annually to feed the majority of families in our 240 million population. As such, it is our imperative to work with high-quality supply chain partners who take the effort to understand our logistical challenges and support our extensive scale of operations. YCH, who has grown with us in the region over the last decade, has been continuously innovating to value-add to our partnership. We are especially impressed with their latest TLM™ offering that not only assures transportation KPIs and real-time visibility of our cargoes, it also provides us invaluable consumer behavior and insights to maintain our leadership position in the dairy business.” YCH’s TLM™ Solution will also carry a Corporate Social Responsibility element as the company works with local last mile partners to optimise their distribution routes, while concurrently imparting best practices in SCM infrastructure and capabilities. By transferring various technologies and knowledge to the local last mile partners, YCH hopes to enable these smaller companies to move up the value chain in a shorter time period. These local partners’ performances are then monitored and evaluated to ensure delivery service is executed with operational excellence and cost efficiency. Beyond just a solution, this last mile partnership is a brand promise to achieve delivery perfection through understanding its partners’ specific needs and relevant purchasing behaviours. Given that a company is only as strong as its weakest link, the TLM™ Solution not only augments YCH’s presence across the region, it also lifts the overall standards of the SCM industry. Implementation plans are also in place to deploy this solution throughout YCH’s Asia Pacific network, particularly for consumption giants - India and China, as well as
populous ASEAN countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia.

Clever move,At Audi, sustainability is actually lived At Audi, sustainability is actually lived – in production and also in logistics. The light signals green, the boom gate is raised – and an Audi model Q5 stands at the top of a ramp. Along with the other vehicles loaded on the wagon here at the Audi parent plant in Ingolstadt, the model Q5 is destined for export to the USA. The vehicles’ maritime trip will take them from the North Sea port of Emden to Houston.
However, it is the rail leg of the outward journey from Ingolstadt to Emden that deserves particular attention, for it is an important component in the environmental protection strategy adopted by the Volkswagen subsidiary. Every year, the premium manufacturer transports around 170,000 brand new vehicles straight from the factory at its largest production facility in Upper Bavaria to the North Sea port – and all with zero carbon emissions. Audi uses the Eco Plus service from DB Schenker Rail on this 761-kilometer route. The trains run on electricity produced from renewable sources, primarily hydroelectric power. This translated into the avoidance of more than 7,000 tonnes of CO₂ in 2012 – and all certified by the German testing body TÜV Süd.

Audi was the first customer to order Eco Plus and has been benefitting from the service since August 2010. “At the time, we were in discussions with the colleagues at DB Schenker on how best to launch the product on the market, which routes were ideally suited, and how to meet the demands of the industry,” says Dr. Michael Hauf, Head of Brand Logistics at Audi (Photo). Eco Plus involves an additional charge, but Audi willingly takes this into account. Audi began using the service on another important route in October 2012: transporting brand new vehicles to Emden from its location in Neckarsulm in the state of Baden-Württemberg. The annual volume on this 700-kilometer route is more than 90,000 vehicles. The amount of CO₂ avoided currently stands at 3,400 tonnes per year.
This service ensures the climate-friendly transport of 260,000 factory-built automobiles to the North Sea every year – in fact, every second car that Audi dispatches by rail in Germany. The automaker, however, is not content to rest on its laurels. “To my mind, this can only be an initial step,” says Dr. Hauf. “The biggest challenge now lies in being able to utilize this product for international transports.” Eco Plus is not only helping customers reduce their CO₂ footprint; DB Schenker itself reinvests ten percent of the additional revenue generated by Eco Plus to promote new installations for the production of renewable energy.

Higher performance, lower costs How flow storage systems reduce the operating costs of pallet storage systems in the long term Intelligent flow storage systems for pallets offer a multitude of advantages – in comparison with radio shuttle systems or conventional technologies – in the area of internal warehouse logistics with high turnover levels. A diverse product range can be handled faster and with lower personnel costs with flow storage systems. In addition, the use of gravity avoids power costs for electric motors that move pallets in the racking with radio shuttle systems. These are just some of the factors that significantly reduce ongoing operating costs. The cost advantage of flow storage systems increases with the turnover rate and number of pallet spaces required. The initial investments are amortised through savings in day-to-day operations, usually after less than two years. A further advantage is the long-term reliability offered by the robust mechanical design of the flow storage systems.
an essential key to success in internal warehouse logistics. This also applies to manual pallet storage systems with medium to high turnover levels. Companies with intelligent purchasing management therefore also take the expected operating costs into consideration in addition to the level of initial investment.

We must also be able to handle very high throughput volumes for sales promotions and seasonal increases in sales.” Source : interroll.com

Equipped with 8 COM machines, the OPM for SPAR will be able to pick up to 66,500 dispatch units and cases onto pallets and roll containers per day - all in a store-friendly manner. An eight-aisle AS/RS with 16 stacker cranes and 81,400 tray locations will feed the COM.A five-aisle high bay warehouse with five stacker cranes and 18,700 pallet locations will replenish the OPM system.
Receiving and dispatch will be re-designed and optimized, too. In 1998 and 2003 (construction phases 1 and 2), WITRON successfully designed and implemented their tote picking system DPS with more than 89,000 storage locations as well as a pallet high bay warehouse with 22,000 storage positions. The new logistics construction will be connected to the existing building via conveyor lines so that all logistics areas of construction phases 1, 2, and 3 will be perfectly networked. The entire system is designed to handle a peak picking performance of more than 300,000 cases per day. Productive use of the plant is scheduled for mid 2015. From then on, SPAR will supply a total of 1,700 stores throughout Austria with 14,000 different dry range goods from its logistics warehouse in Wels. In 2012, revenue of the SPAR Austria Group amounted to some 12.6 billion euros. The market share in Austria increased to 29.9%. The enterprise employs some 75,000 people nationally and internationally. Source : witron.com

Engineering teamwork enables Volga-Dnepr to meet delivery deadline for generator rotor to Canada An IL-76TD-90VD
freighter owned by Volga-Dnepr Airlines has delivered a 23-ton generator rotor for power production from East Midlands Airport in the UK to Saint Johns, Canada. The single-piece shipment was loaded at East Midlands using the airline’s specialist loading equipment and a 50-tonne crane. In order to make the rotor safe and secure for carriage, Volga-Dnepr worked with the shipper — Brush Electrical Machines — to design a suitable packing and stowage system because the existing skid under the rotor would not have been strong enough to resist the G-forces during the flight. Following technical discussions with the customer’s engineers and careful calculations, Volga-Dnepr’s experts helped to design a simple yet strong bearing to enable secure lashing of the cargo. The bearing was promptly produced by the specialists at Brush Electrical

LOGISTICS High-Tech Company Interest In Near-Shoring Grows As Supply Chain Strategies Shift (19%) and challenges executing new in-market strategies (17%). Customer-centricity To differentiate their products in the face of growing global competition, many high-tech companies are shifting from product quality as the primary focus to making their supply chains more customer-centric. For example:
Executives shifting gears to improve customer service ,High-tech companies are making strategic shifts to their supply chain models to enable greater customer-centricity, meet changing consumer demand patterns and capture new growth opportunities. Findings come from the 4th annual global UPS Change in the (Supply) Chain survey, conducted by IDC Manufacturing Insights.
Interest in near-shoring has more than tripled since 2010. Globally, 27% of high-tech logistics executives are embracing near-shoring as one strategy to improve their customer service. When asked globally about the top drivers for near-shoring, 77% said they wanted to improve service levels by bringing production closer to demand and almost 55% cited improving control over quality and intellectual property. Other high-tech executives, including 82% in the U.S., will continue to use their existing supply chain strategies. Survey respondents cited the cost benefits of low-cost manufacturing countries and the location of key suppliers as the top reasons for not considering near-shoring. Survey findings also show that 41% of high-tech executives expect to see exports grow faster over the next two years compared to 2013. Another 39% expect to see exports to grow at the same level over the next two years. Emerging market growth Growth for high-tech products is significant in emerging markets, with nearly two-thirds of high-tech executives having either already established a presence in emerging markets or expecting to do so within a year. North American companies are the most aggressive when it comes to emerging market expansion, with 80% either in emerging markets today or planning to be there within a year. However, some barriers to global expansion remain, with the top two cited as: difficulty understanding the appeal of products in a new marketplace
39% of those surveyed said their supply chains are built to be primarily customer-centric today and will grow to 44% in the next two years. For those high-tech companies re-focusing their efforts on customer-centricity, several changes are planned to improve customer service, including: reducing lead times (71%), improving planning (71%), improving fulfillment (68%) and improving post-sales/returns capabilities (66%). High-tech product lifecycle challenges When it comes to high-tech product lifecycle management, almost 60% of high-tech logistics executives rank themselves as “market leaders” in product innovation, but their confidence in capabilities drops along the entire product lifecycle. Less than half of high-tech logistics executives globally think they are “market leaders” when it comes to reverse logistics (34%), product retirement (40%) and even global product launches (46%). For example: 48% of executives surveyed cited that a firm’s ability to carry out a high-profile, global product launch is becoming increasingly important. 26% of high tech companies said establishing product security throughout the supply chain of a product launch remains a top concern. “Shifting market dynamics such as end consumer demand, emerging market growth and increased global competition are having significant implications for high-tech supply chains at every stage of the product lifecycle,” said Ken Rankin, high-tech marketing director at UPS. “It’s critical for high-tech companies to align their supply chain strategies to broader business goals and build competencies around each stage of the product lifecycle to achieve greater customer centricity while also improving operational efficiencies and driving growth in new markets. source :ups.com

PORT & TERMINALS TEREX PORT SOLUTIONS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES RECORD SERVICE ORDER OF MOBILE HARBOUR CRANES alongside vessels with higher container stacks on deck is now possible with the retrofitted cranes. In addition, the machines can serve one container row more than before. Since the tower cab is now also higher, with an eye level of 31.5 meters, crane drivers have an excellent view of the work site that helps them to work efficiently and safely. Competitive advantage for customers at the maritimetrade interface between Asia and Europe . The conversion of the cranes is already paying off for Mardasas Galip Kendigelen, General Manager of the terminal operator, explains: “Since the first retrofitted cranes became operational, the flexibility of our fleet has increased considerably.” As larger vessels can be more efficiently processed with the extended towers, the competitiveness of Mardashas increased further, according to Kendigelen: “Our container terminal is located in the largest port in Turkey and at an interface between Asia and Europe, where maritime trade is growing steadily.” Due to the positive development of the Turkish economy, there is a constantly increasing flow of goods, which Mardas can now handle even better using the six retrofitted cranes.
Düsseldorf, Germany, – Terex Port Solutions (TPS)
has successfully completed its largest retrofit service of mobile harbour cranes to date. Container terminal operator Mardas Marmara Denizcilik Isletmeleri A.S. (Mardas), located in the metropolitan area of Istanbul, Turkey, chose to retrofit six of their Terex® Gottwald Model 7 mobile harbour cranes as it was a cost effective solution to meet their changing needs to load and unload larger container vessels. Beginning in February, the TPS team, with the help of their service partner, Eksen Makina Servis Ticaret S.A. (Eksen), has adapted the geometry of eachcrane with regard to working radius, boom pivot point and viewing height for the crane driver.Adaptions included extending each crane’s tower by five meters and increasing the working radius from 51 to 54 meters. During the project, Eksen was responsible for assembly while TPS was in charge of commissioning the cranes. Cranes can now serve higher container stacks and a further row The six converted Model 7 cranes, two G HMK 7608 variants and four G HMK 7408 variants, are part of an existing fleet of 11 Terex Gottwald machines, which Mardasoperates in its terminal in the Port of Ambarli, west of Istanbul. Thanks to the increased height of the boom pivot point, which is now 28.3 meters for the G HMK 7608 cranes and 28.6 meters for the G HMK 7408 cranes, handling

Logistical challenge successfully mastered under time pressure In the view of Klaus Berling, Senior Director of Services at TPS, it is particularly pleasing that Terex Port Solutions was able to help an important customer by adapting its existing fleet of mobile harbour cranes to changing conditions: “Although tower extensions are part of our business, the order from Mardaspresented a particular challenge for our team.” As Bülent Sandal, owner of Eksen confirms, there were only four weeks available to retrofit each crane. There was also very little space on the quay: “To prevent any impairment of normal terminal operation and a resulting loss of turnover for our customer, every individual work step was precisely planned and had to be implemented just as accurately on site.” TPS customers benefit from services focused on the entire product life cycle Service measures, such as the tower extension that was carried out in Turkey, are part of a comprehensive service portfolio offered by TPS that provides services for the entire product life cycle. In keeping with this approach, the TPS service team, in proximity to its customers throughout the world, adapts cranes to accommodate themost diverse conditions, as Berling explains: “We not only help customers to retrofit cranes for handling alongside larger vessels but also, for example, to install equipment on our cranes to utilize external power sources.” One of the goals of TPS is to always provide the customer with outstanding crane performance at low costs: “Our individual service solutions are designed to keep each crane in service as long as possible, and provide the respective customer with an excellent return on investment.” source: terex.com

PORT & TERMINALS Kalmar completes the relocation of five ship-to-shore cranes for Transnet’s Durban Container Terminal
Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has completed the relocation of five ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) in Durban, South Africa in September. The order was placed in June 2013. The cranes were moved in order to help streamline operations at the port and to facilitate the refurbishment of the equipment to increase efficiency. Durban is one of Africa’s largest container terminals with a total of 59 effective berths and one of the busiest terminals in the southern hemisphere with container throughput continually increasing. The project required the movement of Noell and Liebherr STS cranes between the East and North Quays, using self-propelled hydraulic platforms and transport beams. The project for Transnet Port Terminals was the first of its kind in South Africa. Commenting on the project, Eduardo Prat, Vice President Kalmar South EMEA said, “Our Crane Services team located in Algeciras, Spain, has developed highly specialist solutions for STS crane transportation, design-related modifications and major structural refurbishment work. Kalmar’s expertise is now regularly called upon for all types and brands of crane. “The cranes had a transport bracket welded to each leg and are designed using finite elements analysis calculations by our engineering team. Once the transport beam was positioned, the transport platform hydraulic trailers suspended the weight of the crane, at which point real data was then compared with the original engineering calculations. This allows for any slight repositioning of the transport platforms in order to get the best position for the load distribution. The transport brackets do not affect the normal operation of the crane and can be left in position in
case further relocation is required. “We are delighted of the opportunity to develop our close working relationship with TPT. We also have two maintenance contracts in place to maintain all their rubber-tyred equipment on a 24-hour basis. It’s particularly pleasing to see such an important customer calling upon our crane services specialists,” he concluded. Kalmar’s strategic intent is to become a major global refurbishment and services provider. It acquired total ownership in the Spanish crane refurbishment and maintenance service company Mareiport, S.A. in spring 2013 to expand its capabilities especially in Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa. The company is now operating as Kalmar’s Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa Crane Services Competence Centre. source: cargotec.com

PORT & TERMINALS Federal, State and Local Officials Celebrate Completion of Construction of Port’s Shore Power Infrastructure Keith Lesnick stated, “The Maritime Administration is committed to environmental stewardship. We have been working on a number of government/industry partnerships to address air quality, understanding that reducing air emissions has positive health, environmental and economic impacts for our country. The Port of Oakland’s shore power project received federal funding through a very competitive TIGER grant process because this project is recognized as creating a valuable, sustainable, green trade corridor.” Up to an additional $20 million was awarded to the Port by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)/Federal Highway Administration.
Oakland, CA
– officials from Port of Oakland, U.S. Maritime Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Air Resources Board, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, City of Oakland, Pacific Merchant Shipping Association, and West Oakland Neighbors gathered to mark the completion of construction of the Port of Oakland’s shore power infrastructure, Friday, Nov. 8, 2013. Shore Power is a shore-to-ship connection that provides electrical power to the ship, thereby significantly reducing diesel and other air pollutant emissions from ships while they are at berth. In 2008 the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners committed to reducing health-risk from seaport-related diesel emissions by 85% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline. Port Board Second Vice President Earl S. Hamlin said, “We just completed an inventory of 2012 emissions to check on our progress, and we have already reduced maritime-related diesel particulate emissions by 70%. Today we mark another step in our on-going commitment to clean air and healthy communities. With our shore power project we expect to knock another 11 tons of diesel particulate matter out of the air. We thank all of our partners for helping us reach today’s milestone.” Shore power at the Port of Oakland is a two-phase, multi-year program covering eleven berths. The Port has completed construction of its new electrical infrastructure system (Phases 1 & 2). Final testing of the new system is scheduled to be finished next month. The Port’s estimated project cost is approximately $60 million; the Port and private sector combined estimated cost for just the shoreside infrastructure is approximately $70 million. The Port of Oakland took on the cost and burden of installing a shore power system to assist its tenants and customers with the financial and operational challenge of complying with California’s new regulation and to dramatically reduce air pollutant emissions that affect nearby Oakland residents from berthed vessels. U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) contributed $12.8 million to the Port’s shore power project. MARAD Associate Administrator

“The Shore Power initiative was one of 17 proposals to win funding through a fiercely competitive process for the first round of grants in MTC’s Climate Initiatives Program,” said Commission Chair and Orinda mayor Amy Rein Worth in a statement prior to the event. “This reflects not only Shore Power’s capability to deliver big reductions in greenhouse gas emissions but a commitment to partnership and innovation among public agencies throughout the Bay Area.” Shipping lines that own and operate the vessels bear major additional costs associated with retrofitting the ocean-going vessels so that they can plug into shore power at berth. Pacific Merchant Shipping Association Vice President Mike Jacob stated, “In less than two months, container ships will be plugging in at California’s ports as part of an estimated $1.8 billion industry investment in shore power. On January 1st, ocean carriers will be reducing air emissions faster than ever. Our members are investing billions of dollars worldwide in new ocean-going vessels outfitted with the latest technology, exceeding federal and international environmental standards. And we’ve been retrofitting hundreds of existing ships that call on California ports and installing the necessary terminal infrastructure for the 2014 transition.” The Port, its funding partners, shipping lines and terminal operators all collaborated and invested in developing shore power to meet the new regulations and enhance air quality. California is the only state in the country with this leading air quality regulation that promotes clean air and improved public health. The need for shore power comes from the response to growing public demand in California and internationally to reduce air pollutants caused by diesel-fueled engines, including oceangoing vessels at-berth. In 2008, the California Air Resources Board adopted a regulation to require reductions of air pollutants from ocean-going vessels. This regulation, commonly referred to as the “shore power regulation” requires that all operators of container, passenger and refrigerated cargo vessels that visit California ports more than 25 times a year employ an emission reduction system for their fleet by Jan. 1, 2014. source: portofoakland.com

After only 6 years of operating, DCT Gdansk became a hub port for Central – Eastern Europe and Russia, serving as a true gateway leading to Poland and other Baltic states. DCT handled millionth TEU of the year on the 15th of November 2013 while operating Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller. This is a great milestone not only for the terminal, but for the entire Polish container business in particular. For many decades Polish market was serviced by foreign ports. Together with creating DCT Gdansk, Polish importers and exporters gained reliable and efficient facility providing the highest international standards.
“Polish container industry is young and still searching for its identity on the international market. For a long time Poland was perceived as a marginal player and both clients and terminal operators doubted that this position may ever be changed. DCT Gdansk filled the gap and responded to the market demand by attracting direct deep sea calls to the Baltic Sea and taking on the role of the leader in changing region’s trade patterns. Gdansk became an important link connecting CEE and Russian markets with the Far East. It is crucial for the whole Baltic industry to acquire coherent pattern of container transport, with leading container hub port in Gdansk, and sufficient and modern feeder terminals in other main Baltic ports” says Maciek Kwiatkowski, President of the Board, DCT Gdansk.

The retrofitting involves engineering and software a djustments expected to be completed in time for the arrival of the 18,000 TEU capacity Marie Maersk, the fourth Maersk Line EEE-Class vessel, currently the world’s largest ships of any type, which is scheduled to arrive in Rotterdam on December 6th as part of the weekly Asia/North Europe AE10 service. “We are continuously anticipating and adapting to our customers’ needs to provide industry-leading efficiency and productivity” said APM Terminals European Portfolio Manager Ben Vree. The world’s first 18,000 TEU vessel, the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller, paid its maiden call to APM Terminals Rotterdam on August 16th . The EEE class vessels, at 59 meters (194 feet) wide, are 9 meters (29.5 feet) wider than the 15,000 TEU Maersk E-Class vessels, which have a capacity of 15,500 TEUs. Triple E-class vessels have containers stacked 23 rows wide across the deck, while current post-Panamax cranes were constructed with a 22-container row wide reach. APM Terminals Rotterdam set a new terminal productivity record on the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller with berth productivity of 215 gross moves per hour and crane productivity of 37.1 gross moves per hour. The booms of five of the 13 STS cranes now in operation at APM Terminals Rotterdam Maasvlakte I are being extended for use on the 18,000+ TEU capacity vessels and will also use new operating procedures. Maersk Line has received the first four EEE-Class vessels out of a total of 20 scheduled for
34
delivery over the next two years. The new generation of container vessels with a capacity of more than 18,000 TEU is setting a new standard for the industry. The adjacent facility, APM Terminals Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte II site, being built on land reclaimed from the North Sea, opens November 2014 with an initial annual throughput capacity of 2.7 million TEUs. The terminal, which will be the most technologically advanced container facility in the world, will be equipped with eight remote-controlled super-Post Panamax cranes, each with a 25-container wide reach.

According to the signed agreements, Aden and Taiz airports will also be upgraded by Chinese companies, and the East Asian nation will cooperate with Yemen to enhance its healthcare sector, increase the number of Chinese scholarships provided to Yemeni students and offer Technical training to government employees. Additionally, China has agreed to give Yemen a $16.4 million general-purpose grant, in addition to a $8 million grant for the country’s Defense Ministry and a $30 million long-term interestfree loan.

Yemen’s relations with China are expanding, President Abdu
Rabu Mansour Hadi told state-run media. The Yemeni leaders statement came following the signing of multiple contracts between the nations, allowing China to build new power plants and develop ports in the Arab country. Hadi wrapped up a five-day visit to Beijing on Friday. Based on one of the mutual agreements President Hadi signed with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jingping, China will provide Yemen with a new power plant that will have a total output capacity of 5,000 megawatts. Saleh Sumai, Yemen’s minister of electricity and energy, said that the construction of new power plants will begin in the next one to two months and one of the plants will be based in Shabwa. The state-run Saba news agency quoted President Hadi as saying that the power plants will be gas and coal powered. The output capacity of current power stations in Yemen is less than 1,500 megawatts and they only cover 41 percent of people’s needs, according to engineer Abdulelah Al-Qershi, the head of the Technical Office at the Electricity and Energy Ministry. Additional power plants are urgently needed to cover the electricity deficit, Al-Qershi said. Power stations in Yemen currently use diesel oil, which cost the government $2 billion per year, he said, adding the only power plant using liquid gas is based in Marib.

Abdulsalam Mohammed, the head of the Aba’d Center for Strategic Studies in Sana’a, said President Hadi’s visit to China is purely for economic purposes and it had nothing to do with Yemen’s transitional period or the deportation of Yemenis from Saudi Arabia. He added that the Chinese president invited Hadi to Beijing less than a month ago. Yemeni-Chinese relations date back to 1956 when Yemen was the third country in the world to recognize the establishment of People’s Republic of China. Since then, the most prominent project provided by China to Yemen has been a 266 km. road running between Sana’a and Hodeida that was built in the 1950s, according to the website of the Chinese Embassy to Yemen. Economic expert Ahmed Shamakh said support to Yemen is beneficial to China due to the Arab country’s unique geographic location. “Yemen needs China to boost its economy by bringing Chinese investments to Yemen,” he said. “And China needs Yemen’s vital strategic location.” Source : yementimes.com

PORT & TERMINALS Shenzhen airport’s 10-month air freight up 7%
The latest operating figures of Shenzhen’s Baoan International Airport show that from January to October, the airport handled 747,600 tonnes of freight, which marked an boost of 7% from the same period in 2012.
Throughput of domestic air cargo amounted to 573,100 tonnes. International freight and those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan lines added up to 174,400 tonnes. Both recorded 7% growth, much faster than the national average. A number of reasons were said to have contributed to the airport’s rapid growth. The recovering domestic economy, especially the fast developing e-commerce and express business in China, have fuelled development of China’s air cargo sector. Besides, SF Express and YTO, 2 of the biggest domestic couriers, expanded their handling capacity at the Shenzhen airport in the later half of previous year. Source: TR-Bureau / designboom.com

China’s top airports increase IT spend by 23% Self-service to go mainstream in China by 2016,
says new SITA report Mainland China’s top airports expect their total IT spending to grow by 23% from 2012 to 2013, more than double the 11% rate of revenue growth rate for the same period. Investment is set to rise further in China with 80% of these airports expecting IT budgets to increase again next year as the country prepares to manage more than 870 million passengers by 2016. These are the results from tenth edition of the SITA/ACI/ Airline Business Airport IT Trends Survey, which in 2013 includes responses representing the view of mainland China’s top 25 airports. Together these airports represent 66% of total passenger traffic in China, or 453 million passengers. The analysis shows that self-service is in the early stage of adoption in mainland China. Only 8% of airports report that self-service kiosks are the primary check-in method. But by 2016 self-service technology will go mainstream. By then, 54% of airports expect that most passengers will use self-service kiosks for check-in area. More than 70% of airports plan to introduce new self-service initiatives for check-in areas including assisted bag drop and self-bag tag printing. New passenger-facing information technologies will become an integral part of airports’ customer service strategies, which will increasingly integrate social media and mobile apps as well. May Zhou, Vice President and General Manager, SITA China, said: “The main challenge for Chinese airports is to keep up with rapidly rising passenger numbers. By 2016, we can expect to see 200 million more passengers every year in China. That’s why airports are investing in technology to streamline their operations and improve the passenger experience. Information technology will play a key role in managing the country’s rapid growth in air travel, while ensuring passengers enjoy a seamless journey through its airports.”
Chinese airports recognize the importance mobile technology will have in the future and nearly four out of five expect that mobile will be the dominant channel for customer service communication by the end of 2016. Mobile apps will play a key role in passenger interaction, particularly to provide status information on flights and the airport, and for customer service. Almost half (48%) of Chinese airports are investing in business intelligence solutions for airport operations, which transform data into useful and actionable information. However, airport stakeholders are not always willing to share data, and this may slow progress. In 2013, the Chinese airports surveyed said they planned to increase their total IT expenditures to 5.85% of revenues, higher than the 5.43% of revenues for all airports globally. In 2012, Chinese airports spent 5.25% of revenues on IT, above the global IT spend of 4.9% of revenues. These technology investments come at a time when well over half of all the Chinese airports surveyed are also refurbishing, extending or building new terminals in anticipation of future passenger growth. IATA estimates passenger traffic in China will grow to 873 million by 2016, up 29% from 679 million in 2012. Source: sita.aero
SITA’s survey shows the importance of social media to airports in China. By 2016, more than 87% of the top 25 Chinese airports plan to use social media to provide flight status information. Already, Chinese airports are ahead of the rest of the world in this area: 42% have already implemented ‘ notifications about airport status’ via social media, ahead of the global average of 29%.

SEA TRANSPORT U.S. Department of Transportation Releases Study on Impacts of Panama Canal Expansion New Study Sets Course for American Port
Improvements WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) today released a study on shipping patterns and industry costs that will help the United States prepare for the anticipated impact on its ports, waterways and intermodal freight systems from the Panama Canal expansion. The expansion of the Panama Canal, scheduled for completion in 2015, will give much larger vessels, called “Post Panamax” vessels, greater access to the U.S. ports on the East and Gulf coasts. “America’s ports keep our economy moving,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “This study can serve as a compass to guide our port investments in the Post Panamax world so our nation’s ports can accommodate larger vessels and help maintain our global competiveness.” The Panama Canal Expansion Study, the first of a two-part study, found the integration of PostPanamax vessels into U.S. trade lanes will have substantial implications for the nation’s shippers, ports and surface freight corridors, particularly along the East Coast, Gulf Coast and inland states located east of the Mississippi River. In addition, more cost-effective service generated by the larger vessels could improve the ability of some U.S. exports, like grain, coal, petroleum products and liquefied natural gas, to compete in global markets. In addition, the report noted that shifts in shipping patterns impacting the national transportation system will occur slowly and over time. “Preparation is the key, and we’re already seeing it,” said Acting Maritime Administrator Paul “Chip” Jaenichen. “Increased cargo means expanded capacity, and forward-looking ports are deepening their harbors and improving their intermodal connections, often with the help of the Obama Administration’s programs, such as the competitive TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) Grant program.” Infrastructure investment and the development of the nation’s ports and waterways have been among President Obama’s top priorities since the first day of his Administration and are major components of his proposal
to support middle class jobs. Since 2009, the Obama Administration has directly invested more than $400 million in infrastructure projects at 33 U.S. ports in 22 different states through the TIGER program alone, all to improve the condition, efficiency and capacity of the nation’s ports, including roads, rail and waterside corridors that connect them with producers and consumers. Some anticipated infrastructure development needs are currently being met as part of the Obama Administration’s “We Can’t Wait” economic initiative, which expedites the permitting and review process for regionally significant infrastructure projects. To date, the Administration has expedited seven infrastructure projects to help modernize and expand five major U.S. ports, including the Port of Jacksonville, the Port of Miami, the Port of Savannah, the Port of New York and New Jersey and the Port of Charleston.

Jumbo has recently completed her activities in the first stage of the
Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal Project in Queensland, Australia. The export terminal, when completed, will represent one of the largest such facilities in the world. The project was planned meticulously, to ensure efficient operations. At one stage 2 J-class vessels were sailing from China, one day apart, one with gantry equipment which was discharged to barges for further transport to site and one with wharf decks which where directly discharged at the currently developed quay where in the future the coal ships will berth and be loaded from. This berth is located well outside the island to have unrestricted access to deep water. Safety, as with everything carried out by Jumbo, was given the highest priority. Work on the project commenced in May of this year, with the 1st of six consecutive voyages using mv Fairpartner. The project saw Jumbo transporting a range of large and heavy equipment from China to Australia. Amongst these were a number of gantries. The gantries were stacked and transported, with as many as seven being carried in one go, utilising most of the plentiful space available on the J-class vessels.

Wärtsilä awarded turnkey exhaust gas cleaning retrofit project by TT-Line TT-Line’s Green Ship strategy. The pilot installation of Wärtsilä exhaust gas cleaning systems on the M/S Robin Hood is a significant step towards our goals in this respect. The retrofit project is co-financed by the European Union through the TEN-T MOS “Green Bridge on Nordic Corridor” project. We see advantages in Wärtsilä’s turnkey supply, and we will benefit from having one single point of contact for the entire project,“ says Mr Hannes Conzen, CEO of TT-Line.
Wärtsilä, the marine industry’s leading solutions and services provider, has been contracted by TT-Line, the German-Swedish ferry operator, to retrofit an exhaust gas cleaning system to its Ro-Pax vessel, the “M/S Robin Hood” as part of TT-Line’s Green Ship strategy. The full turnkey project will be managed by Wärtsilä thereby minimizing downtime and risk, whilst guaranteeing performance and regulatory compliance. The contract was signed in October 2013 and delivery and installation will take place during summer 2014.
The vessel will be fitted with four Wärtsilä Hybrid Scrubber Systems designed to reduce harmful sulphur oxide (SOx) and particulate emissions from the ship’s exhaust. The ferry operates in the Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA) between Travemünde, Germany and Trelleborg, Sweden. The Wärtsilä systems will enable compliance with the SECA regulations, as well as with anticipated future legislation.
“We are delighted to have concluded this agreement with TT-Line. This contract is an important confirmation of the validity of our strategy and is indicative of the market confidence in Wärtsilä’s retrofit capabilities. This is the first retrofit project for a large Ro-Pax ship where we are taking the full Engineering Procurement and Construction responsibility,” says Mr Leonardo Sonzio, Director, Retrofit, Environmental Solutions, Wärtsilä Ship Power. The Wärtsilä Hybrid Scrubber System The system operates in either an open loop or closed loop mode using seawater to remove SOx from the exhaust. When operating in open loop, exhaust gases enter the system and are sprayed with seawater. The sulphur oxides in the exhaust react with the water to form sulphuric acid. Chemicals are not required since the natural alkalinity of seawater neutralizes the acid. When operating in closed loop, the natural alkalinity of seawater is boosted by an alkali. Wash water from the system is treated and monitored at the inlet and outlet to ensure that it conforms to all applicable discharge criteria. It can then be discharged into the sea with no risk of harm to the environment. source: wartsila.com

High degree of travel comfort The trains for MTR are an advanced development of the FLIRT. They will be fitted with an especially high-quality interior for comfortable travelling across long distances. The trains will also feature a buffet car. As the trains will be used for long-distance travel, the vehicles will be equipped with
especially comfortable seats. Particular attention was also paid to the whole design during the planning stage, with, for instance, an extra special lighting system being incorporated. The trains operate with 15 kV alternating current and are equipped with the Swedish train control system ATP L 10’000. The top speed of these trains will be 200 km/h. Able to fulfil the requirements of severe winters As with all Stadler trains produced for the Nordic countries, the MTR FLIRTs will be specially equipped to deal with the harsh winter conditions in Sweden. Features include, for example, improved isolation, floor heating, double-wall intercar gangways, snow scrapers between bogies and carriage body as well as a heat recovery system.

In response to high customer demand, DB Schenker will be offering three additional trains per week as of February 1, 2014. Via a terminal stop in Kiruna, there will be a new truck connection to the Finnmark region, linking it to the rail solution. “This should be good news for the industry as a whole and in particular for export companies in the seafood market,” says Michael Holmstrøm, the CEO Schenker AS. “The connection will cut more than a day off transport times for shipments to and from the Finnmark region.” DB Schenker will be offering the new truck service to the northern Norwegian towns of Alta and Kirkenes
via Kiruna in Sweden. It will take the trucks some nine hours to make the 450 kilometer trip to Alta, and some 13 hours to travel the 750 kilometers to Kirkenes. The DB Schenker North Rail Express travels from the Alnabru terminal in Oslo to Narvik via Sweden. It takes about 26 hours to cover the roughly 1,960 kilometer route to Narvik, making it much faster than freight by truck. The train is about 600 meters long and has a total capacity of 1,600 tons. It travels at an average speed of 75 kilometers per hour. For the DB Schenker North Rail Express which has been running since January 2012, DB Schenker Rail purchased 28 S double well cars and 20 S carrier cars, which are especially suited to the special climatic conditions. The train is transporting around 90 percent of DB Schenker’s freight destined for northern Norway, which is equivalent to approximately 12,500 truckloads per year. Source:deutschebahn.com

New Hubtex DS 27: best-in-class specifications Hubtex has extended its product range to include the DS 27 Electric Multidirectional Sideloader,
which has been available since the start of October 2013. “This new development is part of our strategy of offering a wider, more customer-oriented and high-quality product range than any other market participant,” explains Managing Director of HUBTEX, Ralf Jestädt. The new three-wheel sideloader with standup cabin is designed for handling pallets, lengthy goods and medium-weight loads (up to 2700 kg), for example in DIY stores or at profile or window production plants. This all-purpose device can be used as a frontloader, sideloader and narrow-aisle truck. The large-sized elastic tyres enable use in both indoor and outdoor areas, even on difficult surfaces.
diagonal drive and circle drive. This enables more precise maneuvering and faster positioning of the load when compared with standard vehicles that do not allow for diagonal drive. The DS 27, as a genuine multidirectional sideloader, therefore offers clear advantages over nominally multidirectional four-way sideloaders and it can be used to achieve a more efficient work flow. The DS 27 also offers the best all-round visibility in its class and sound-optimised assemblies reduce noise emissions to a minimum. Additional outstanding features increase the comfort and safety of the driver: Instead of a deadman button, a contact plate has been installed in the cabin floor of the DS 27, which increases the driver’s freedom of movement. The low entry height of 420 mm enables the driver to get on and off the vehicle quickly. All the hydraulic functions are controlled using clearly arranged operating elements. The adjustable backrest contributes to ensuring work is fatigue-free. Hubtex’s in-house-produced sturdy lift masts with internal, protected hydraulics ensure large reserves of load capacity. „The DS is a vehicle for the current age in every respect. With its complete package of flexible application options and outstanding price/performance ratio, it sets new standards among three-wheel sideloaders,” says Ralf Jestädt in summary. According to Ralf Jestädt there is also another vehicle on the way in this market segment
“As a market leader in the area of specialist electric multidirectional sideloaders, we set ourselves challenging goals in terms of development and we gave ourselves the goal of setting new standards in this segment, focused on the requirements of our customers,” comments Ralf Jestädt, looking back on the nine-month development phase. As a result the DS 27 sets new records: for example, thanks to the high-performance steering system, the three-wheel universal sideloader from Hubtex offers the fastest available direction switchover times between lengthwise drive, crosswise drive, source :hubtex.com

AIR TRANSPORT
the Boeing 747-400 Dreamlifter Cargo Loader The Boeing Dreamlifter is a modified
747-400 passenger airplane that can haul more cargo by volume than any airplane in the world. It is the primary means of transporting major assemblies of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner from suppliers around the world to the 787 final assembly site in Everett, Wash. This reduces delivery times to as little as one day from as many as 30 days today. The Boeing 747 Dreamlifter (formerly Large Cargo Freighter or LCF) is a wide-body cargo aircraft. Cargo is placed in the aircraft by the world’s longest cargo loader. It is an extensively modified Boeing 747-400 and is used exclusively for transporting 787 aircraft parts to Boeing’s assembly plants from suppliers around the world. Development Boeing Commercial Airplanes announced on October 13, 2003 that, due to the length of time required by land and marine shipping, air transport will be the primary method of transporting parts for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (then known as the 7E7). Initially, three used passenger 747-400 aircraft were to be converted into an outsize configuration in order to ferry sub-assemblies from Japan and Italy to North Charleston, South Carolina and then to Washington for final assembly, but a fourth was subsequently added to the program. The Large Cargo Freighter has a bulging fuselage similar in concept to the Super Guppy and Airbus A300-600ST Beluga outsize cargo aircraft, which are also used for transporting wings and fuselage sections. At 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) the cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter. The LCF conversion was partially designed by Boeing’s Moscow bureau and Boeing Rocketdyne with the swing tail designed in partnership with Gamesa Aeronáutica of Spain. Modifications were carried out in Taiwan by Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation, a joint venture of Evergreen Group’s EVA Air and General Electric, Boeing has acquired the four second-hand 747-400s; one former Air China aircraft, two former China Airlines aircraft, and one former Malaysia Airlines aircraft.

The first 747 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) was rolled out of the hangar at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport on August 17, 2006. It successfully completed its first test flight on September 9, 2006 from this airport. The 747 LCF’s unusual appearance has drawn comparisons to the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and the Hughes H-4 Hercules (“Spruce Goose”). Due to its ungainly form, exacerbated by the fact that the need for immediate testing resulted in the first model remaining unpainted for some time, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president Scott Carson jokingly apologized to 747 designer Joe Sutter that he was “sorry for what we did to your plane.” Flight testing On September 16, 2006, N747BC arrived at Boeing Field, Seattle to complete the flight test program. Swing-tail testing was done at the Boeing factory in Everett. The second airplane, N780BA, made its inaugural test flight on February 16, 2007. The third began modific ation in 2007. The first two LCFs entered service in 2007 to support the final assembly of the first 787 Dreamliners. Delivery times for the 787’s wings, built in Japan, will be reduced from around 30 days to just over eight hours with the 747 LCF. Evergreen International Airlines (unrelated to EVA Air or EGAT), a U.S. air freight operator based in McMinnville, Oregon, operated the LCF fleet until August 2010. Then Atlas Air, which was awarded a nine-year contract for the operation of the aircraft in March 2010, took over LCF operation. Evergreen had achieved a 93% on flight schedule performance with the LCF, and sued Boeing for $175 million, which the court mostly dismissed. Into service In June 2006, the first DBL-100 cargo loader used for loading 787 parts into the 747 LCF was completed. In December 2006, Boeing announced the 747 LCF would be named Dreamlifter, a reference to the 787’s name, Dreamliner. It unveiled a standard livery for the

aircraft that included a logo reminiscent of the 787’s Dreamliner logo. Certification was initially planned for early 2007, but was pushed back to June 2007. The aircraft’s winglets were removed to resolve excess vibration and other handling characteristics prior to final certification. In the meantime, as part of the flight test program, LCF delivered major sections of the 787 from partner sites around the world to the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington for final assembly. The 747 LCF was granted FAA type certification on June 2, 2007. From its first flight in 2006 until certification in 2007, the Dreamlifter completed 437 hours of flight testing along with 639 hours of ground testing.

ENERGY Autonomous Drive Nissan LEAF Hits Public Roads For The First Time
Japanese Prime Minister In Tow
Nissan’s Autonomous Drive version of the LEAF recently hit public streets in Japan for the first time, while carrying the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, making it the first vehicle with autonomous drive capability to be given a license plate in Japan. The drive took place on the roads near the National Diet Front Garden — a public park located towards the center of Tokyo, near the Imperial Palace and the parliament. The participation of the Prime Minister makes it very clear just how much the Japanese government is banking on the development of technologies such as autonomously driven vehicles. The drive was organized primarily by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, working closely with the three participating domestic motor companies. Green Car Congress provides more:
The data is processed by an on-board computer that makes decisions which are implemented with automatically-operated controls for the vehicle’s acceleration, handling, brakes and more. Nissan first revealed the autonomous drive prototype technology at “Nissan 360”, a vast test drive and product showcase event held in California in August-September 2013. The company announced it will be ready with commercially-viable Autonomous Drive by 2020, and the technology will be available across the model range within two vehicle generations. A “proving ground” for the Autonomous Drive Nissan LEAF is currently being constructed at one of Nissan’s testing facilities in Japan — the facility will work to test the vehicle in a large number of potential and dangerous situations. Source: cleantechnica.com
The LEAF is serving as a base vehicle for the development of autonomous drive technology. Driving on public roads is made possible with technology to detect road conditions. The vehicle is equipped with cameras, laser scanners and radar, which identify nearby pedestrians, traffic lights, traffic signs and other objects.

TIRES technology: e-balance Toyo Tires’
Toyo Tires’ e-balance technology
for commercial truck tires improves fundamental performance characteristics and their compatibility with one another. These characteristics are tire life, irregular wear resistance, endurance and fuel consumption. All of these improvements help to lower fleet operating costs and make e-balance tires more environmentally friendly. In fact, the e-balance designed M137, M157 and M657 have all been named verified technologies through the EPA’s SmartWay program. The new technologies of e-balance incorporate improvements in the areas of Tread Profile Retention, Bead Profile Retention, and overall Simulation for optimum tire design. Tread Profile Retention Tires that utilize e-balance exhibit improved tread profile retention, meaning less service growth compared to conventional tires. The flatter tread radius provides an optimized footprint shape resulting in even wear, less irregular wear and longer life. Strain at the belt edge is reduced by approximately 30%, which also helps to improve tread profile retention. Simulation of Vehicle Behavior Blue Truck: e-balance Red Truck: without e-balance e-balance tire has better handling performance than
68
the tire without e-balance. V: 40km/h Steering Angle 90° Bead Profile Retention Tires that utilize e-balance have higher bead stiffness to achieve improvements in bead profile retention. This leads to a reduction in irregular wear and an improvement in endurance. The bead area profile is retained even after service. Increased bead stiffness is achieved through the use of a high stiffness bead core, which is then surrounded by high stiffness rubber. A low heat build-up rubber is also used in the bead filler area. Strain at the ply turn-up edge is reduced by approximately 20% over conventional tires. Simulation There are four simulation technologies utilized in e-balance. Tire irregular wear, tire profile change, tread pattern noise and vehicle handling behavior. All of these areas are analyzed with careful consideration to how they affect one another. This new simulation technology allows for optimization of tire design with much higher accuracy than what was possible before. SOURCE : toyotires.com

Presented by David Edwards, Loscam’s General Manager Group Business Development, the session provided real life examples of how returnable packaging such as small format pallets, new age foldable crates and beverage trays can increase efficiencies and improve the sustainability levels of supply chains. Over 100 delegates enjoyed the interactive session in which real life case studies demonstrated the benefits and pitfalls of introducing modern forms of returnable packaging. The reduction in use of secondary cardboard
packaging is a real focus of the region’s major manufacturers and this creates opportunities to enhancing customer value through innovation. The beverage industry in Europe was showcased as an example where more than 70% of products are delivered through to retail floors without any form of secondary packaging at all. “Judging by the level of interest in what was presented here today, I really do believe manufacturers and retailers are on the cusp of capitalising on the savings made possible through collaborating on retail ready projects” David said. source: loscam.com

GLOBAL Logistics Leaders Partner Around Relief for the Philippines many hardships. Last week, UPS pledged $1 million in financial and logistical support to organizations that will provide assistance in the days, weeks and months ahead. By doing so, we are helping ensure impacted citizens have a reliable, efficient and predictable path back to recovery.”
Logistics leaders Agility, Maersk, TNT Express and UPS are offering vital warehousing, transport, and
logistics support in the current emergency in the Central Philippines, to ensure that critical relief supplies reach those affected by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. The four companies make up the Logistics Emergency Teams (LETs), a cross-company partnership that supports humanitarian relief efforts during natural disasters. The LETs are responding to a request for assistance by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). In addition to being the frontline agency fighting hunger, WFP also leads the Logistics Cluster, which coordinates the logistical response of the humanitarian community in times of disaster. Super typhoon Haiyan, the fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded and possibly the strongest to have ever hit land, began life as a cluster of thunderstorms in the warm Northwest Pacific waters of the Federated States of Micronesia. According to the UN, more than 11 million people have been affected, almost a million people have been displaced, and 4,460 people are reported dead. “Partnership and close coordination of relief efforts is essential during a large-scale disaster such as Typhoon Haiyan,” explains Thomas Thompson, Head of the WFP-led Logistics Cluster. “We are fortunate to have the expertise and many offers of support from our LET partners, who have come together to help the Filipino people.” The assistance from the LET partners includes logistical support, such as the facilitation of customs guidance for relief goods brought in by the humanitarian community. In addition to staff and expertise, LET partners have also offered access to operational assets such as trucks, vessels, barges, forklifts, refrigerated containers and warehouses. “Agility and its LET partners are ready to help the Philippine government speed assistance to the areas and people most in need,” said Tarek Sultan, Chairman and CEO of Agility. “Chaos and disorder inevitably follow a tragedy of this magnitude. The LET teams can deploy experienced logistics professionals and pool resources in a way that increase the efficiency of efforts led by the government and humanitarian groups.” “UPS has a long history of working with disaster relief organizations to deliver critical, life-saving aid to communities in need around the world,” said Eduardo Martinez, President, The UPS Foundation. “The victims of Typhoon Haiyan are facing

“TNT Express appreciates this opportunity to offer logistical support to the victims of typhoon Haiyan. By delivering assistance where it’s most needed, we can help the victims rebuild their lives,” said Jan Ernst de Groot, Managing Director External Affairs and Corporate Responsibility, TNT Express. “The efficient deployment of logistics expertise in the first phase of an emergency can be crucial in providing medicine, food and shelter to minimize human suffering. With our logistics and transport expertise and equipment, the Maersk Group is ready to assist the Philippine government and the UN to respond to this tragic disaster and help pave the way for a speedy recovery,” said Nils S. Andersen, CEO of the Maersk Group. In addition to providing warehousing and transport assets, the LET partners provide expertise and local knowledge to support the response of the entire humanitarian community in getting food, shelter, and health and water sanitation items to the communities most affected. The LET initiative is the first multi-company commitment to the humanitarian sector and was launched in 2008 at the World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Central to the LET model is the partnership of otherwise competing companies tilizing their corporate expertise, local resources, and relationships in support of humanitarian relief efforts in response to natural disasters.

Under the auspices of the World Economic Forum, the companies started sharing best practices from their bilateral humanitarian partnerships. They developed a joint operating structure – today’s LET – to lend a collective hand to humanitarian organizations. In 2011, Maersk joined the LET to further strengthen and support its activities and initiatives. The Logistics Emergency Teams add to the member companies’ respective humanitarian partnerships. The LET humanitarian assistance program has supported operations in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, West Sumatra, Haiti and Pakistan.

Typhoon Haiyan: aid convoys come under fire as relief operation becomes ‘logistical nightmare’
Demanding transport for healthcare clinic in the Philippines
Crates containing the healthcare clinic arrived in the Philippines from Finland on Tuesday, but transporting them by land
from the airport in Cebu has proved difficult as the roads are in bad shape and in some places are not yet passable. The crates have been moved part of the way by both boat and air. - The final stretch in particular has been more difficult than anything else I have ever experienced, says Pertti Rantanen, chief logistics officer for the Finnish Red Cross. Along with the healthcare clinic come two special refrigerators or large cold-transport lockers containing vaccines, salves for treating infections, and post-delivery medicines for women who have given birth. Because the internal temperature of the two big fridges must be kept between three and eight degrees Celsius the cold lockers will be flown in by helicopter. Rantanen says that the two 200-litre fridges have been well cared for on their trip halfway around the world. They were transported separately from the Red Cross logistics centre in Tampere and delivered to the cargo plane at Helsinki-Vantaa airport after all the other parts of the clinic had been loaded. - We kept the fridges charging in Tampere till the very last minute, then we plugged them in again at the airport to top them up. Right now the cold-transport lockers are plugged in at Cebu airport, awaiting their onward flight to Samar, explains Rantanen. Although the refrigerated lockers will stay cold for a couple of days without recharging, the plan is to transport them by helicopter from Cebu to the clinic, while the rest of the equipment, which is less sensitive to heat, is taken there by boat. There will be a long-lasting need for aid in the typhoon-stricken areas of the Philippines. The Finnish Red Cross disaster relief collection for the Philippines has so far generated more than 1.25 million euros, most of which will be used for emergency supplies.

Security situation now desperate as tens of thousands
clamour to escape the devastated city of Tacloban and hundreds of thousands of people remain stranded without food, water or shelter across the central Philippines Aid convoys attempting to bring relief to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan are coming under regular attack from both suspected communist rebels and starving survivors of the monster storm. Relief columns being escorted by the Philippines army are now engaged in firefights with members of the New People’s Army, the militant wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines. The almost complete breakdown of law and order in the areas hardest-hit by Haiyan is only further hampering a relief operation that the UN’s World Food Programme is describing as a “logistical nightmare”. photos : -Filipino policemen secure a truck load of relief goods in the super typhoon devastated city of Tacloban Photo: EPA/DENNIS M.SABANGAN -Indonesian Air Force members load boxes of aid inside a Hercules C-130 plane at Halim Perdana Kusumah Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia (EPA) source :telegraph.co.uk

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany
The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal, and allows ships to cross over the Elbe River. At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe. Ships moving between the two had to make a 12kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the
74
Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo. Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003. Source: amusingplanet.com
