New logistics degree created to help boost graduate talent A new kind of degree has been created to address the shortage of graduate talent in the supply chain and logistics industry.

This industry-led initiative will also arm graduates with the tools they need for a successful career in the industry, starting with a guaranteed job from one of the course sponsors. The NOVUS Trust is introducing a four-year logistics and supply chain BSc degree course. Sponsored by companies in the industry, NOVUS aims to be the UK’s leading graduate alumni for supply chain professionals. 15 retailers, manufacturers and logistics organisations already signed up as sponsors with many other expressing significant interest The NOVUS degree course covers supply chain management, finance, statistics, organisational structure and methods, sociology, psychology, transport network design, warehouse design, inventory management, supply chain IT and HR management. In addition, the core degree course will be supplemented with essential managerial ‘craft skills’ such as leadership, people management and communication.

ing a degree by the industry for the industry, NOVUS Founder Members will be able to tailor the course content and selection criteria of graduates into their own business recruitment strategies. There is a significant benefit in reduced graduate recruitment cost and we would anticipate a long term benefit in higher graduate retention and the time to value of a NOVUS graduate in any company.” He added: “Research is showing us that the best graduate talent knows a company before they join and that the most sought after talent has been ‘touched’ in some way by the company they accept an offer from.” The first students commence their NOVUS degree in September 2013 at Huddersfield University. Kaye said: “The NOVUS steering group chose Huddersfield because it has been offering first class courses in transport and logistics since 1984. The university is prepared to work closely with NOVUS to deliver top quality graduates with an alumni recognised globally as the very best.” After two years, the aim is to roll the NOVUS degree out to other universities, with an ambition to accommodate 450 students per year. The NOVUS degree addresses the major challenge faced by the industry in attracting and retaining the right numbers and quality of management talent to keep pace with current and future demand. Kaye explained: “Over the past decade retailers and manufacturers have leveraged the logistics and supply chain function to give them competitive edge, while trends such as increased technology, online retail and globalisation have changed the dynamics of supply chain management.” He added: “Logistics is no longer just about trucks and sheds; it has matured into a sophisticated, intellectual and vibrant industry that is underpinned by technology. The skills, capabilities and intellectual capacities of managers within the industry must keep pace with this change.”

The NOVUS Trust is inviting companies to join the list of sponsors. In addition to an initial joining fee of £5000, sponsoring companies need a commitment to engage with the scheme through the provision of mentors, use of corporate branding in course materials and marketing, paid placements in the holiday periods and third year, course content and case studies and, finally, a commitment to provide at least one graduate job per year commencing in September 2017. A proportion of the graduate salary will be used to repay student loans. The scheme is run on a ‘not-for-profit’ basis, with a charitable Kaye concluded: “The guarantee of a high quality graduate role in a world trust administrating the entity. class business, will ensure that a vibrant, exciting and challenging industry Andy Kaye, chair of The NOVUS Trust steering committee, said: “In creatwill get the leaders it needs.” source : novus.uk.com www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol.05 | V | MARET - APRIL 2013

Dentressangle deploys hybrid forklifts As part of its commitment to driving down the environmental footprint of its supply chain, Norbert Dentressangle is replacing 40 fork lift trucks during 2013 with a new hybrid drive model that on average reduces fuel consumption by over 35%. Following trials at its Northampton, Rowley Regis and Leigh depots last year, the company has already taken delivery of 11 STILL RX70 Hybrid Drive LPG forklifts that offer lower energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. The trucks are supplied on a five-year contract hire option.

As well as reducing emissions, the new materials handling equipment is more ergonomically designed and has a number of built-in safety features. Operators of the trial units praised the efficiency and ease of use. With onepedal operation, the new forklifts provide lower driver fatigue, a smoother ride due to cushioned cab and seat, and lower noise output in comparison with current trucks. Mike Bridges, managing director of Norbert Dentressangle Transport Services, commented: “The new hybrid fork lift trucks demonstrate our continued commitment to looking at all areas of the supply chain as we aim to improve our operational efficiency to support customers and minimise our environmental impact.”

Itella Logistics obtains a competitive edge with Quintiq Itella Logistics, a leading service logistics company in Northern Europe and Russia, gains a significant competitive advantage by implementing a fully integrated planning solution from Quintiq. Around 1,500 vehicles and 26 million drivers will be allocated to vehicles. transported shipments per year will be planned in just one single platform in Real-time integrated planning Finland. Itella Logistics was searching for a planning solution that would be able to handle the complexity of its business while increasing customer service levels, optimizing efficiency, and reducing the company’s costs and carbon footprint. With Quintiq, Itella Logistics found an integrated platform capable of planning all of its operations ranging from pick-up and delivery planning and freight haulage planning to depot sorting planning. Itella estimates that this new planning system will provide a quick return on investment (ROI) by increasing the company’s efficiency and improving its delivery performance significantly. Optimal routing and resource assignment The first project involves the planning of routes, combining them to form workshifts, and then determining the optimal drivers and vehicles to use. The Quintiq solution will use the forecasted number of shipments, incorporating seasonality, and will generate a resource master plan taking into account of pickup and delivery areas, the schedule of deliveries at a sorting center, and the availability of bulk mail, parcels and other transported shipments in a depot. As the orders arrive at the sorting centers, they will be sorted, grouped and assigned to vehicles. For all drivers and vehicles an optimal route will be created to deliver the orders, on time, in the most efficient way. Together with Itella’s business rules and constraints, such as the strict working time regulations, workshifts will be created and qualified

The Quintiq solution will be integrated with Itella Logistics’ domestic TMS system and continuously communicate with the handhelds used in the vehicles. If a disruption on the route occurs or if a new last-minute pick-up comes in, Quintiq will generate a new plan and the routes will be communicated directly with the drivers through the handhelds. Mikko Särkkä, Head of Regional IT of Itella Logistics: “We wanted a firstclass planning solution which could solve multiple complex and dynamic operations in a single platform. Quintiq showed us they were capable of handling this complexity and gained us an efficiency improvement already in the first pilots. Together with Quintiq, we will implement the project step-by-step starting in Finland and possibly expanding to other operating countries. At this moment, there is no doubt Quintiq will give us a unique competitive edge in our geographical logistics market.” Arjen Heeres, COO Quintiq: “We are seeing more and more logistics companies benefiting from the Quintiq solution. The strong relationship which we’ve build up with Itella Logistics so far is unique and promising. The first pilots showed us good results and we expect this will only be the beginning of a great partnership.” source : quintiq.com

Loscam approved for chilled and frozen operations

Loscam is pleased to announce that Progressive have approved acceptance of Loscam pallets for their chilled and frozen business. This approval follows Progressives acceptance in late 2011 of the Loscam pallet through its ambient distribution centres and the use of the Loscam pallet as its preferred platform for imported goods.

“We spent a lot of time talking with customers before we introduced our pallet into the New Zealand market. They told us they wanted a safer, faster to operate pallet. When we combine the benefits of the pallet with our world class customer service and management systems we have a truly unbeatable service offering in New Zealand, and the industry is voting by bringing their business our way” Says Nick Trask, Loscam’s New Zealand Business Manager. “As our pallet is more stable when being handled, this has enabled our customers to safely load vehicles using the 1m face providing improvements in truck utilization by up to 20%. Now we can extend these benefits to those companies operating in the chilled and frozen space” says Nick. source : loscam.com

Foodstuffs have already approved the Loscam pallet for their ambient and temperature controlled distribution centres. The Loscam pallet continues to make strong inroads into the New Zealand pallet rental market as it is a much better pallet to use in fast moving supply chain where 4-way access is critical. The Loscam pallet also has proven to be a much safer platform during loading and unloading as the pallet is configured to not tip when being handled by forklifts.

Car Craze Keeps Logistics Turning

like fuel charges and labor costs, while most of the international players are more concentrated on increasing the visibility and control of the full supply chain.” High inventory is a big challenge for many Chinese companies at present. If a company has low visibility with its supply chain, from raw material procurement to after-sales, production is usually boxed in to already set paramaters, unable to be adjusted to match prevailing market conditions.

As the country’s car industry goes through a process of reincarnation, from one based almost solely on sales of brand new cars to one in which pre-owned vehicles are becoming common, plenty of other industries are cheering. One such is Ceva Logistics, the world’s fourthlargest third-party logistics provider by revenue, which is helping drive its growth in China’s huge automotive logistics market. Third-party logistics companies typically specialize in providing full supply chain solutions, such as design and implementation, warehousing and transport services that can be scaled and customized to customers’ needs based on market conditions, specific demands and delivery requirements. These services often go beyond logistics and include value-added services related to producing or procuring goods. Attracted by the strong growth in China’s automotive industry, Ceva of the Netherlands is focusing on working with auto producers and setting up an efficient supply chain to reduce logistics costs to seize more market share in China. Martin Thaysen, executive vice-president of Ceva Logistics China, says China is a must-win market for Ceva. The company is building capacity and leveraging its global network to meet China’s demand for different vehicles domestically and globally, he says. Since China has become the global automakers’ revenue powerhouse, an increasing number of foreign carmakers have set up joint ventures with Chinese companies, and they have synchronized the launches of new models in China with the those in the US and Europe. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers says China’s auto production and sales set a world record for the fourth consecutive year last year. In China last year, 19.27 million vehicles were made, 4.6 percent higher than in the previous year.

Domestic sales rose 4.3 percent on 2011 to 19.31 million vehicles. Ceva was formerly known as TNT Logistics, a division of TNT, which was founded in Australia in 1946. The company was an early entrant in China, in 1988, and established its first automotive logistics joint venture, Anji-Ceva Automotive Logistics Co Ltd, with SAIC Motor Corporation in Shanghai in 2002.

Ceva, which employs more than 51,000 people in more than 170 countries, had revenue of 6.9 billion euros in 2011, the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 28 percent of that. Thaysen says China has become the most important contributor to Ceva’s business in this region. The company plans to build a new 50,000square-meter warehouse in Shanghai this year to support its growth plans.

The joint venture employs more than 10,300 people, operating 25 vehicle centers, 15 regional distribution centers and 14 parts warehouses all over China, covering more than 250 cities, serving 465 suppliers and 2,200 dealers. Its biggest customers in China have included General Motors, Ford Motor Co, Toyota Motor Corp, BMW AG, and Volkswagen Group.

As Ceva vies to expand its market in China it is beginning to work more closely with its domestic partner Shine-Link Logistics, a bonded logistics service provider in Shanghai, with which it formed a strategic alliance last year. Under the agreement, Ceva has streamlined custom clearance and bonded logistics services to its Chinese customers, while Shine-Link Logistics uses Ceva’s global network to reach more overseas destinations.

Encouraged by the booming demand of the domestic market, Chinese commercial vehicle makers such as Great Wall Motors Co Ltd, SAIC Motor Corp Ltd and Chongqing Lifan Industry (Group) Co, are also eager to export. The nation exported 1.05 million vehicles last year, mainly to Russia, South America and Africa, almost 30 percent higher than in 2011.

With personal wealth steadily growing and the sales of luxury cars doing the same in China, Thaysen believes the introduction of high-end cars will affect the supply chain in a number of areas including management of spare parts and upgrading of reverse logistics.

“Chinese carmakers are quite keen to expand the overseas market,” says Thaysen, who worked for China for five years from 2000 and returned last year.

“Thus, service is a key differentiator in this sector, although cost is still high but auto companies in this sector are willing to pay more on logistics to maintain a high level of service,” he says.

“But they should be aware that they need a mature network and operation, and experts who understand the destination market to support their step of globalization.” China’s logistics costs account for about 18 percent of its gross domestic product, far above the levels seen in the US and European countries, according to a report published by the Ninth Automotive Logistics China Conference in Beijing last year. Thaysen says that even though strong growth is expected to continue, China faces challenges such as high automotive logistics costs and low efficiency, which are making Chinese products less competitive and putting pressure on companies’ cash flow. “Successful Chinese companies like Huawei and Lenovo, they spend a lot of efforts to optimize their supply chain. In return, more cash can be released from their supply chain. Some Chinese companies only focus on cutting immediate or transaction costs

After initial car purchases, the demand for automotive replacement is rising, making way for more trade-ins or new purchases, which are becoming a staple of China’s automotive market. This will help propel the second-hand automotive market, which is not as developed as that of Western countries. That growth, particularly in first-tier cities will in turn drive the growing market for spares and parts. Thaysen says a well-developed domestic network is essential to support the new trends in the industry, particularly because the country is so vast and diverse. source : cevalogistics.com

Just 18 months after its launch in Latin America, the freight forwarding division of Norbert Dentressangle has established its position as a leading provider of perishable air freight management services for the export of fresh produce from Chile. In December 2012, the company was responsible for the handling of 1,500 tonnes of blueberries and cherries from Chile to the US, China and Europe, an increase of almost 50% on 2011, placing the company in the country’s top five shippers of perishable products. Norbert Dentressangle has strong relationships with major Latin American airlines including LAN Chile and is LAN’s largest customer for perishable air freight from Chile to Miami and New York and the airline’s second largest customer for other worldwide destinations. Due to high volumes, in December 2012, Norbert Dentressangle also chartered two full Boeing 767s for the export of blueberries from Chile to Miami. To support this growth, Norbert Dentressangle has a dedicated team based at Santiago airport and provides a complete service from receipt, inspection and Customs management and phyto-sanitary documentation and inspection, to the palletisation and protective packaging of product prior to loading. Following the launch of its freight forwarding division in 2010, Norbert Dentressangle opened offices in Chile and Brazil in 2011 and continues to develop its presence in Latin America. Antoine Pascual, Managing Director of NDO Chile S.A. and Latin America said: “From start-up in 2011, our perishables business has developed rapidly in line with the dynamic growth in the Chilean export market. In addition to fruit, we are also experiencing increased demand from exporters of fish, including salmon and urchins. “In a short time, we have become a significant player in the perishable air freight sector and now have a solid platform to continue to grow the business and our market share, in line with Norbert Dentresssangle’s ambition to become a major global freight forwarder.” source : norbert-dentressangle.co.uk

Port of Tauranga gains approval for harbour dredging Port of Tauranga has received final approval from the Minister of Conservation for its plans to widen and deepen shipping channels, to accommodate larger ships. Port of Tauranga Chief Executive, Mark Cairns, welcomed the news, saying the benefits to the New Zealand economy from the ability to accommodate larger vessels would be widespread and significant. The dredging project will be carried out in several stages, with the first commencing towards the end of 2013 and taking six months to a year to complete. “Larger ships, both containerised and bulk, have relatively higher fuel efficiency (and are therefore more carbon efficient) with lower operating costs per unit,” says Mr Cairns. “This will enhance the competitiveness of New Zealand exporters and provide lower freight costs for importers.” The New Zealand Shippers’ Council estimates the real value to New Zealand of bigger ships operating on the South East Asia trade routes could be up to $338 million per year, and increasing up to $391 million per year by 2020. Facts and figures • The dredging project will widen and deepen the shipping channel from 12.9 metres to 16.0 metres depth at low water.

• Ships of up to 347 metres in length and 14.5 metres draught will be able to be accommodated in Tauranga Harbour. • The first stage of dredging, costing $40 to $50 million, will give access to ships with a capacity of 5,000 to 6,000 TEUs (twenty foot equivalent containers). The biggest ships currently using the port can carry around 4,500 TEUs.

metre extension of the Sulphur Point wharves, which is nearing completion and will expand berth capacity by 28%. • The Company is also currently commissioning a sixth ship-to-shore gantry crane, with a seventh on order for delivery in early 2014.

• The second stage of dredging will accommodate 8,200 TEU ships, future-proofing the port for the next 15 to 20 years.

“These preparations for more frequent ship visits and larger volumes of cargo will ensure that we continue to meet the capacity demands of our customers and maintain our high productivity levels into the future,” says Mr Cairns.

• The expansion will also allow larger bulk cargo and cruise ships to visit Tauranga. This season, the port hosted visits from the Celebrity Solstice - a 317 metre cruise vessel, the largest ever to visit Tauranga - in the growing trend to larger ships. The first stage of dredging will allow Tauranga to host the Queen Mary cruise vessel, which had to be turned away this cruise season.

“The consent application to dredge the harbour to accommodate larger ships has been a challenging process for both Iwi and the Port over the last four years and the Port has learnt a lot throughout the process, of the Mauri that Tauranga Moana place on Te Awanui (Tauranga Harbour) including Mauao,” says Mr Cairns.

• The dredged material will be predominantly clean sand, and the majority will be placed in existing off-shore deposition sites which have been in use since 1968. There are also a number of near-shore sites designed to replenish beaches at Mount Beach, Ocean Beach, and Pilot Bay.

The dredging project resource consent conditions have been modified throughout the process, to include:

• The Port’s Sulphur Point container terminal is the largest in New Zealand, handling more than 850,000 containers (TEUs) a year. • The dredging work is part of a $170 million capital expenditure programme to expand capacity and improve productivity at the port.

• The establishment of a trust to recognise the relationship of Ngai Te Rangi, Ngati Ranginui and Ngati Pukenga and their Hapu with Te Awanui. The Trust will comprise five iwi and two Port of Tauranga representatives and will set priorities and allocate funds for future harbour improvement projects. • A minimum separation distance of the dredging works from Te Kuia Rock

• The development of a Kaimoana Restoration Programme to develop research and • Other work under way includes a 170 monitoring criteria to remedy or mitigate www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol.05 | V | MARET - APRIL 2013

the effects on kaimoana, in particular the pipi beds on Te Paritaha (Centre Bank) that will be damaged by the dredging works. • The establishment of further tertiary and post graduate research studies aimed at promoting better environmental health of Te Awanui (Tauranga Harbour). “We will continue to place a high degree of importance on productive working relationships with tangata whenua and the new trust will provide a forum for building on these relationships and improving the health and well-being of the beautiful harbour we share,” says Mr Cairns. source : port-tauranga.co.nz

PORT & TERMINALS Revolutionary Container Design Means More Volume and Higher Payloads

A revolutionary new container design is set to change the economics of shipping palletised cargo, allowing cargo owners and consolidators to increase significantly the volume of cargo shipped at any one time. UK-based container design company Container Group Technology (CGT) Ltd is pleased to announce the availability of the 20-20 SeaCell Container. From the outside the patented ‘20-20’ looks little different from a conventional ISO 20ft shipping container. However, subtle innovations on the outside and inside of the container enable the unit to provide for 36% greater pallet space. In practical terms, this means that for each tier, 15 Euro-pallets (1200mm x 800mm) can be loaded into the container instead just 11 Euro-pallets in a standard ISO 20ft dry container. With standard ISO pallets (1200mm x 1000mm), the 20-20 can load 12 units, two more than in a conventional 20ft

container (see graphic). And by using 100% of the floor area, pallets fit snugly together inside the container making the 20-20 ideal for using lightweight slip-sheets or paper pallets, thereby reducing costs and increasing useable volume and payload at the same time.

The 20-20 SeaCell Container achieves this feat by being exactly 20ft (6096mm) in length and 2426mm wide internally. Standard 20ft containers are, in fact, 19ft 10½ ins (6058mm) long x 7ft 7¾ ins (2330mm) wide internally. Thus the internal length of the 20-20 allows it to accommodate the additional four Euro-pallets or two ISO pallets per tier. The door opening width is 2408mm which allows fork-lift trucks to load pallets two or three at a time. Twin-lifting for even greater savings

However, the innovation does not stop there. Two 20-20 containers can be easily locked together from the outside with no special tools to make a 40ft container, but again with significantly greater internal volume than standard. Two 20-20 containers will carry six more pallets than one standard 40ft container. It is also possible to mix Euro & Standard pallets in the same 20-20 and still have 100% pallet utilisation. The 20-20 is fitted with larger corner castings of the type typically used in flatrack containers, enabling them to be lifted by standard 20ft or 40ft spreaders, loaded singly or as a pair into a container ship’s 40ft cells or onto any current road chassis and rail wagon.

and lifted as a single ‘40ft’ unit. In the standard configuration, two 20-20s are joined at the front ends, ie, with the doors accessible at each end of the combined containers. However, if requested CGT can also position the locking mechanism at the door-end corner castings so that the two 20-20 units are effectively sealed until reaching their final destination. This is an important feature for high value or sensitive cargoes. Lifting two 20ft containers together has been made possible in the past decade by innovations in container lifting technology, and it has become increasingly popular with shipping lines and container port terminals as a way of loading and discharging ships faster and more efficiently.

The benefits of this innovation are numerous, including: It can significantly reduce ship loading times and the time needed to lash containers on deck Estimates suggest it could reduce handling and transportation costs by 25% to 35%

The fact that 20-20 containers can be linked or unlinked at any stage of the logistics’ chain should also reduce the need for empty repositioning, thereby optimising each container’s usage Prototypes of the 20-20 container have been built and fully tested in China, and the new design is being made available for sale or lease. source : mpoverello.com

PORT & TERMINALS Aberdeen Harbour remains base for BP’s North Sea offshore exploration

Record half year profits at Port of Tauranga Port of Tauranga has reported a record half-year profit on the back of growing

Aberdeen Harbour Board has announced that BP has agreed to extend its presence at the port for a further 10 years.

Underlying profit lifted 13.4 per cent to $39.2 million for the six months to December 2012, the company said in a statement.

The agreement, worth an estimated £25 million to the Board over the term, will see BP continue to lease its Albert Quay base from Aberdeen Harbour for the next decade to support its operations in the North Sea and West of Shetland. With activity forecast to increase at the base the company has also elected to expand the area it will occupy.

Port of Tauranga said the underlying profit excluded a net gain of $35 million on the sale of its 50 per cent stake in cargo handling firm C3 in November 2012.

Aberdeen Harbour chief executive, Colin Parker, said: “We welcome this very strong commitment by BP to the port and the very clear message it sends out regarding the longevity of the region’s oil and gas industry.”

Shares rose 1.3 per cent to $13.99 following the result.

The agreement with BP comes after a period of sustained growth and success for Aberdeen Harbour, which recently revealed an eight per cent increase in year-on-year traffic during 2012. Further growth at the start of this year helps to explain why the Harbour Board is currently engaged in a feasibility study looking at future expansion.

Colin Parker added: “BP’s commitment to Aberdeen Harbour underpins The company said trade volumes increased 10 per cent to 9.4 million tonnes, our current strength and the importance the port plays in the north east compared with 8.5 million tonnes a year earlier, while total exports lifted 16 economy.” per cent to 6.4 million tonnes.

Swissport International Ltd. (Swissport), the world’s leading provider of ground and cargo services to the aviation industry, is reporting total revenue of CHF 1.9 billion for the year 2012. This represents a 10% increase in revenue compared to 2011 which is reinforcing the market leading position of the company. The results are including the impact of the acquisition of the former Flightcare operations in Spain and Belgium (excluding the Flightcare business the 2012 revenue increase results in 6%). The aviation segment in general was still facing challenging market conditions during the past year. Despite this demanding environment Swissport was again able to increase its revenue in 2012 by 10%. Compared to the previous year the aircraft turnaround frequencies increased 7%; air freight tonnage decreased 6%, reflecting general declines in the air freight market last year. Swissport´s growth was mainly organic and resulting from larger contract wins at important European airports such as Paris Charlesde-Gaulle, Copenhagen Airport and London-Gatwick. Another catalyst for further organic growth in 2012 was the successful expansion in Africa with new handling licences for the International Airports of Morocco and Oran International Airport in Algeria as well as with the African low-cost carrier Fastjet. Successful acquisitions were another big contributor to Swissport´s financial results. The acquisition of Flightcare Spain and Belgium was complementing existing passenger and cargo handling operations activities in these two countries. With taking over the Finnish ground handling company Inter Handling and its sister company Inter Handling Turku, Swissport could expand its footprint in this important and promising market. Per H. Utnegaard, Group President & CEO of Swissport International Ltd.: “The overall group’s results for 2012 demonstrate that our resilient business model is working well in very challenging market conditions. I am very proud that we were able to grow double digit despite an overall decline in the market and I am confident that we can further increase our market shares in the future.” source : swissport.com

Emirates Shipping announced a general rate increase of US$200 per TEU

With the cranes arriving after a two month voyage from Shanghai and London Gateway the first port of call within the European Union, ISS was responsible for declaring the vessel and her precious cargo to the central European reporting system for customs clearance, as well as the local UK inbound Customs reporting. ISS was also required to compile a report for the port health authorities certifying the ship’s sanitation condition and the crew’s medical status. ISS was in constant liaison with the operations team at London Gateway keeping them fully advised on the vessel’s progress from China, as well as routine but crucial details such as confirming which side to berth the vessel and calculating tidal passages in unison with harbour masters and port authorities to ensure safe berthing. Manufactured by ZPMC the new cranes are the first in the UK to be able to lift four containers at once to speed up the unloading of the world’s largest ships when DP World’s US$1.5 billion London Gateway opens in September this year as a new world-class deepsea container port.

Emirates Shipping Line has announced a general rate increase of US$200 per TEU on cargo from the Far East and South East Asia to East Africa starting April 1.

Other work included making sure the Master was fully prepared for visits from customs, immigration, port health and ensuring all locally required documentation was in place including charts and publications. ISS is also now responsible for co-ordinating the shifting operations of the vessel so each of the cranes can be discharged at high tide to the strengthened section of quay, as well as preparations for the vessel’s scheduled departure on Sunday 10th March after the three cranes have been discharged.

The carrier said that the move was taken in “light of recent market developments and part of its strategy in taking a lead in announcing a general rate increase”.

Says Harry Corkerry, ISS Port Manager: “We began work on this project in October last year and it took a great deal of planning and reconnaissance with ourselves and the berthing party at the terminal to ensure we were fully prepared and had eliminated any potential problems.

Emirates Shipping Line is registered in Dubai Maritime City of UAE and commercially headquartered in Dubai and Hong Kong, two of the busiest commercial hubs in the world.

“We were very pleased that all our hard work paid off and look forward to completing the remainder of the project this week.”

Customer Experience just got better: The new Customer Charter

Over the past 3 years, Maersk Line has been working towards providing customers with ease of business. We asked customers and they have advised if we can include transactional services as part of the definition of “reliability”.

According to ABS manager of harsh environment technology, Hun Yu, “In the last few years there has been increasing interest in floating, drilling and production operations in the Arctic and cold regions.”

The 2013 Arctic workshop will take place March 19-20, 2013 in St Johns, Newfoundland, USA. Approximately 70 Arctic experts from industry and Maersk Line has now set out to establish a ‘customer charter’ which articuacademia will come together to discuss the challenges and potential solulates the minimum service quality that ALL our customers will benefit from. tions to operating in the polar environments, and to identify joint research Consequently we have defined an aspirational performance target for each opportunities. of the customer interactions in our Customer Charter. The customer charter was launched by the Maersk Line CEO Soren Skou at the TPM Transpacific conference held on 4 March 2013. The Charter is a set of aspirational targets Maersk Line is making available to customers defining ambitions and ongoing performance on a number of key customer interactions (as articulated by customers).

At the last ABS Arctic workshop event in December 2012, the key areas of research identified were: the need for a global ice load model and full-scale measurement, more research and development on ice load management and mooring on ice, and Arctic regulation and standards development. James Bond, ABS director of shared technology added: “As exploration and production activity move into more harsh environments, it is even more important for us to work with industry.

ABS is a provider of classification services to the global offshore industry. “We have been running through the concept of a Customer Charter with some of the North Europe customers, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive,” says Karsten Kildahl, Northern Europe Region Top. He also underlines that “the customers are obviously not concerned with how we deliver overall; they are more interested in how we deliver towards them individually. However, the Charter provides a good start for a conversation with our customers about our service quality.”

In October 2012 Damen Shiprepair

Rotterdam (DSR) won the contract for installing the first Becker Twisted Fin® on 7 container vessels of the fleet of Hamburg (Germany) based liner shipping company Hamburg Süd. To complete the project in time, the vessels were routed in such a way that they could each be dry-docked for a maximum of 6 days every consecutive week. All ships have now been re-delivered. The first vessel starting the cycle, MV SANTA CATHARINA, was expected the 30th of December 2012.

However, this vessel was operationally delayed, which reduced the available time with three days. Due to an intense work preparation, with a good and smooth cooperation between the owners and makers, and an efficient method of fitting each prefabricated Becker Twisted Fin to its vessel, DSR managed to re-deliver each vessel just before the next vessel was ready for docking. The last vessel, the MV SANTA ROSA, was re-delivered in the last week of February. Becker Twisted Fin

The Becker Twisted Fin is developed in order to improve the performance of the vessel in combination with the propeller and the aft body of the vessel. After testing in the Hamburg Ship Model Basin HSVA it showed an improvement of reducing the fuel consumption for this type of vessels up close to 4%. With the Becker Twisted Fins installed, both Hamburg Süd and Damen Shiprepair contribute in a small, but significant way to environmental protection.

Damen Shiprepair & Conversion With this project DSR also contributed to the accreditation of the ISO 14001-2004. Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam is one of the 12 repair yards of Damen Shiprepair & Conversion in North West Europe, the latest members being ARNO Dunkerque (France), Shipdock Amsterdam and Shipdock Harlingen (NL).

Wärtsilä’s unmatched ability to supply a complete portfolio of solutions for the marine and offshore industry is again demonstrated with this latest order for a series of pumping systems for Statoil. Wärtsilä has won a valuable order to supply a series of pumps to be installed on a new floating storage unit (FSU). The FSU is being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea for Statoil, the Norway based international energy company. When completed, it will be located on the Heidrun oil and gas field in the Norwegian Sea. Delivery of the Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for February, 2014. The order for the deep well cargo offloading pumping system and the fire water pump package includes 38 deep well cargo pumps produced by Wärtsilä, at Wärtsilä Svanehøj in Denmark, three fire water pump skids and two ballast pumps. The latter items are produced by Wärtsilä, at Wärt-

silä Pumps in Singapore. Wärtsilä has considerable experience in supplying the oil and gas sector with pumping equipment that meets or exceeds local and international standards. Furthermore, the electrically driven systems feature low noise levels, high system efficiency, and simple maintenance. “The 2012 acquisition of Hamworthy added years of experience and extensive know-how on pump technology to our in-house competences. This contract is further testimony to the reputation of our pumping solutions, and strengthens our position as a major player in the offshore oil and gas industry. The reliability, ease of installation, and cost effectiveness of these solutions were all contributing factors in the award of this contract,” says Timo Koponen, Vice President Wärtsilä, Flow & Gas Solutions. Wärtsilä Hamworthy has recently delivered deep well and fire water pumps built by the Samsung Heavy Industries yard for other floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels for the offshore sector. Wärtsilä’s offering for the marine market includes ship design services, engines, propulsion equipment, automation and controls, a range of auxiliary equipment, environmental solutions and worldwide service network. source : wartsila.com

Croatia has privatised its largest shipyard

Croatia’s largest shipyard, Brodosplit, was privatised this week. The government signed the contract with Croatian company DIV which took over the shipyard for only 1 Croatian kuna, but accepted its debts and obligations.

Privatising the shipyard in the Adriatic port of Split was one of the conditions for Croatia joining the European Union. “The restructuring of the shipbuilding industry comes to an end with the signing of this agreement,” Croatian Economy Minister Ivan Vrdoljak said. source : croatiantimes.com

Röhlig-Grindrod overcomes challenges According to Röhlig-Grindrod, abnormally sized loads had to be transported to the Mozambique jobsite where neither roads nor harbours permit the handling of heavy lift cargo. The company developed a unique approach to ship the goods. From Richards Bay and Durban, South Africa, cargo was transported by vessel to the coast of Mozambique. Röhlig-Grindrod then discharged the heavy cargo onto barges that were landed on a nearby beach. The machinery was then loaded onto seven-axle trailers and carried to the jobsite 6 km inland. Since the project began in December 2010 Röhlig-Grindrod has arranged at total of 20 shipments and has moved in excess of 100,000 tons (90,718 tonnes) of cargo into Mozambique. The heaviest items shifted were 15, 107-ton (97-tonne) pontoons measuring

48 m in length, 5.4 m wide and 3.8 m high. Röhlig-Grindrod is a joint venture between German logistics service provider Röhlig and its South African partner Grindrod. source : rohlig.com

ABB wins $26 million marine repeat order to power deep sea exploration vessels

ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, recently won a $26 million order to supply electrical power and propulsion systems for two next generation ‘Ramform’ vessels, capable of three-dimensional (3D) seismic data acquisition for deep sea resource exploration. The ships will be constructed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and delivered in 2015 to Norway’s Petroleum Geo-Services ASA (PGS), a leading company in marine seismic and reservoir data acquisition, processing and analysis/interpretation services. Oil and gas companies use this data to explore for hydrocarbon accumulations, develop new oil and gas fields, and manage their producing fields. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries chose ABB as the main supplier of power and propulsion systems and are already building two identical seismic vessels based on the first order from 2011, which will be ready for delivery in the first and fourth quarter of 2013. “Being selected as the main supplier of power and diesel electric systems for this unique vessel series once again, shows the customer’s faith in our ability to execute complex projects and deliver reliable solutions, that contribute to increased energy efficiency and optimized performance,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “ABB has a successful history of helping to efficiently power such highly specialized ships to keep them at the cutting edge of the marine industry.” The ‘Ramform Titan-class’ vessels are the newest generation in the Ramform series, featuring advanced 3D seismic data acquisition/analysis capability. At 104 meters long, the ships will have an exceptionally wide breadth of 70 meters and will feature diesel electric main propulsion for quiet operation. ABB will supply an advanced complete power and diesel electric system package, consisting of medium voltage switchboards including power management systems, generators, transformers, frequency converters and motors. The systems will provide reliable and fuel efficient propulsion for the ships. The Ramform Titan-class vessels will employ multiple streamer cables, each several kilometers in length, towed from the vessel’s stern. The cables will contain a vibration sensor (‘hydrophone’) to detect echoes of sound waves emitted from sound sources and bounced back from the sea bottom and stratum boundaries. The echoes are used for 3D seismic analysis, to determine geological composition and natural resource location. source : abb.com

First Cape Class Patrol Boat officially named

Austal is pleased to announce the first-in-series Cape Class Patrol Boat has been officially named the Cape St George during a ceremony held at Austal’s Henderson shipyard in Western Australia. Cape St George is the first of eight new boats being built by Austal for the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service under a design, construct and in-service support contract valued at approximately A$330 million. The vessel was launched (watch video) at Austal’s Henderson shipyard in January 2013. It has since undergone final fit out and sea trials, with some other testing to be completed prior to final delivery to the customer. The naming ceremony was attended by the Australian Special Minister for State, the Hon. Gary Gray AO; and former President of the Australian Senate Margaret Reid AO, who officially named the vessel. Austal Chief Executive Officer Andrew Bellamy said the naming of the first Cape Class vessels was a significant milestone for the company. “The official naming ceremony is an occasion that allows us to celebrate the first of eight state-of-the-art, highly sophisticated Cape Class vessels that we are designing and constructing using our hallmark aluminium design,” he said. “The Cape Class contract has repositioned our Henderson facilities as a defence-focused operation, while reaffirming our position as an emerging global defence prime contractor. “Close to 300 staff have been involved in the construction of this first vessel, and the contract has underpinned work at our Henderson shipyard. “I would like to thank our staff and Austal’s many suppliers for their important contribution on Cape St George as we look forward to delivering all eight patrol boats by August 2015.” Austal’s role extends beyond the design and construction of the vessels. The company is also using its in-house expertise to develop and integrate sophisticated electronic systems for command, control and communication. As part of the A$330 million contract, Austal will also perform ongoing in-service support for the Cape Class fleet over at least eight years, encompassing a full range of intermediate and depot level maintenance activities, valued at a minimum of A$50 million. “Our ability to deliver the systems and support for the Cape Class fleet demonstrates our total solution capability, which represents the future of our Australian business,” Mr Bellamy said. “We will continue to expand and enhance the strategic industry capability necessary to meet the current and future defence needs of Australia and other nations.” Construction of the second Cape vessel is well underway, with the keel laid in January, while work has commenced on the third Cape vessel.

Stadler wins order for the delivery of 48 FLIRTs in Hungary

RAILWAYS

Construction of a rail ring around Budapest announced

Stadler Rail has won a tender for the delivery of altogether 48 electric multiple units to Hungary. The public procurement was issued jointly by Hungarian State Railways MÁV and Austrian-Hungarian regional operator GYSEV in November 2012. The result of the tender was announced on 26 February, the delivery contract will be signed by the parties during the next 30 days. Within the frames of the contract Stadler will deliver 42 FLIRT units for MÁV and 6 units for GYSEV. The new four-part trains will be single voltage low floor vehicles with a seating capacity of 200 and a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The last train will have to be delivered by Stadler by Autumn 2015. The current EMU tender is now the 3rd in row that Stadler wins in Hungary. The company received the first order in the country in 2005 for the delivery of 30+30 vehicles, which was followed by a successful tender participation in 2012 on a public procurement issued by GYSEV for the delivery of 4 EMUs. After the delivery of the current batch, altogether 112 FLIRT units will be operating in Hungary. The FLIRT has a very good reputation in the country, as the 60 existing vehicles have been operating with a very high availability in the last 6 years. The successful market presence of Stadler in Hungary is paired with a series of investment too. Since the market entry Stadler established a maintenance centre in Pusztaszabolcs and an aluminium welding factory in Szolnok, having invested altogether EUR 40 million in the country and created around 400 workplaces. In line with this progress the company is currently conducting an expansion in the capacity of its aluminium carbody welding unit, and also establishes a centre in Hungary for the revision of train bogies. As a result of these developments, Stadler will create around 200 additional workplaces and thus employ altogether 600 people in Hungary soon. A significant part of the production of the current trains will also be made in the factory of Stadler in Szolnok. The allocation of exact activities regarding this project is currently being decided. source : stadlerrail.com

The Hungarian government announced the construction of a rail ring around Budapest, the so-called V0 rail cargo ring. HUNGRAIL, the Hungarian Rail Association contributed to the development by signing a co-operational agreement with MLSZKSZ, the association responsible for the plans. The Hungarian Rail Association put it on its schedule to help the efficient realization of the development through the suggestions and opinions of its professional committees. On the 113 kilometers-long, open, electrified and two-tracked route, which contains two bridges on the Danube, trains may move at 160 kilometers speed. The tracks are solely for the purpose of rail cargo freight. Route will be built between Tatabanya and Cegled, so rail cargo may cross the country in one day, as opposed to the previous 4-5 days. The Hungarian government is now looking into whether the development will be founded by the China Development Bank, with a development agreement worth at least 1 billion Euros, or from the resources of the European Union. If the development is financed from the Chinese source, the construction can start in the spring of 2014, all cost estimates, planning and licensing must be done by then, and the route can be ready by 2017. The Hungarian rail network is centered in Budapest, which in terms of passenger transport is understandable, but is a disadvantage when it comes to rail cargo freight. During the day rail cargo cannot be let onto the overcrowded suburban tracks of Budapest, therefore the average speed of a cargo train in Hungary is very slow. The route will be built in the style of a motorway, so there will be exits at Szekesfehervar, Pusztaszabolcs, Kecskemet and Szeged among others. The development could be a huge push for the Hungarian building industry but it will also create new employment opportunities at the stations of Komarom, Tatabanya, and Szolnok. Imre Kovács, CEO of Rail Cargo Hungaria, board member of HUNGRAIL pointed out that the new two-tracked route, with the sole purpose of rail cargo freight is beneficial for the market leading Hungarian rail cargo freight company and any other rail company involved in transit traffic. The development presents the possibility of expanding business relations, since it reduces travel time by days. This will result in better circumstances than previously even for the goods of middle- and far-eastern centers, traveling through Zahony to Western-Europe. source : railwayinsider.eu

East Coast chooses O2 Unify for network infrastructure upgrade

Metro Vancouver’s SkyTrain stations to be upgraded

Construction has begun on safety and accessibility improvements at Metro Vancouver’s Main Street-Science World Station in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Train operator East Coast has appointed O2 Unify to consolidate its IT and

communications infrastructure in a deal said to be worth £2.6 million.

The $164 million (in Canadian dollars) station upgrade project is being funded by the governments of Canada ($41 million), British Columbia ($83 million) and TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s transportation authority ($40 million), Transport Canada officials said in a press release. In addition to the Main Street-Science World Station, improvements will be completed at Metrotown, Commercial-Broadway, Scott Road, Surrey Central, New Westminster and Joyce-Collingwood stations. The work is slated for completion by 2016.

O2 has been awarded a three year contract to oversee a refresh and redesign of infrastructure across 23 sites owned by East Coast across England and Scotland. The rail company seeks to drive operational efficiencies to save up to £1 million over the term of the contract. The project will involve updating WAN and LAN networks, upgrading the company’s IPT systems to include unified communications and moving 1,600 mobile phones over to O2’s network. New security systems and processes will enhance PCI compliance, while Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking will allow the company to deliver travel information to passengers.

“These station upgrades will help to ensure the SkyTrain system can continue to serve demand as the population grows and more British Columbians East Coast will also partner with other parts of O2’s parent company switch from driving to more environmentally friendly choices like taking transit, cycling and walking,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minis- Telefónica, allowing the mobile operator’s media team to engage with customers through mobile devices. ter Mary Polak. source : progressiverailroading.com

“As a business, we were looking to simplify the way that we ran our communications in order to make savings,” said East Coast Finance Director Tim Kavanagh, “but we also wanted to streamline our processes to create easier, more user-friendly systems that benefit East Coast employees and our customers.” “O2 offered us a simple solution to our needs, and this, combined with its strong background in the transport sector, means we know we are in safe hands going forward.” Paul Osborne, Managing Director of O2 Unify, said that the East Coast contract highlights ongoing moves by O2 to get away from providing only mobile offerings and towards enterprise IT and communications services. “This win demonstrates how our strong service culture and customer focus from our core mobile business is continuing to put us in a very strong position to provide wider communications services,” said Osborne. “We presented East Coast with an over-arching solution to its mobile, IPT and network needs and identified where we could deliver significant savings,” he continued. “Through our past work with Network Rail, we demonstrated that we had a deep understanding of the sector and showcased our ability to deliver complex solutions which will join the business together.” source : techworld.com

German rail company board backs Stuttgart 21 project despite cost blowout

City and state balk at extra costs Late in 2011, Baden-Württemburg’s new government, comprising ecologist Greens and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) decided not to invest beyond the state’s intended 824-millioneuro share in the project. The rail issue was one factor that led in 2009 to the defeat of Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats in Baden Württemberg, which they had run since 1972. Ahead of Tuesday’s board announcement, German Transport Minister Peter Raumsauer had demanded that Stuttgart and Baden-Württemberg help share the anticipated extra costs.

The supervisory board of Germany’s rail operator Deutsche Bahn has voted to

proceed with its project for a new underground main station in Stuttgart despite a twobillion-euro cost overrun and schisms in public opinion. Germany’s controversial “Stuttgart 21” rail hub project, which for years has split the country over how to modernize public transport, was cleared to proceed by the 20-member board of the state-owned railway operator on Tuesday - despite an unresolved cost explosion. Deutsche Bahn (DB) supervisory board members meeting in Berlin told reporters that most had voted to continue the project, with one abstention and one no vote. The completion date was likely to be 2022, three years later than originally planned. Supervisory board chairman Utz-Helmuth Helcht said after “careful deliberation” members had reached the decision to continue the project. He said DB executives had argued plausibly during Tuesday’s crisis talks that it was economically more beneficial to proceed than break off the project. Two-billion overrun Priced at 2.6 billion euros ($3.4 billion) when floated in 1995, it reached 4.5 billion in 2009. DB admitted last December that extra costs and risks would push Stuttgart 21 toward 6.5 billion euros. Chancellor Angela Merkel endorsed it in February, but warned against any “further cost surprises.” Stuttgart 21 (S-21) would largely replace the Baden-Württemberg state capital’s historic terminus station, comprising 17 end-of-line tracks, with a through-station, largely underground and integrated into Europe’s Paris-Vienna main trunk route. For years, divisions have prevailed between a citizens’ anti-project movement and DB and even within Stuttgart city hall and the government of Baden-Württemburg despite televised arbitration in 2010 and a pro-project referendum vote in 2011. Opponents have argued, for example, that the billions would be better spent on modernizing many of Germany’s smaller stations and regional lines.

Warren Buffett’s BNSF to test natural gas-powered trains

He warned that if they tried to back out as project participants, DB could sue both to provide extra funding. State premier seeks alternatives Hours earlier, Premier Winfried Kretschmann of the Greens had suggested that - less costlier - alternatives for Stuttgart’s future rail hub be negotiated. That outraged SPD members who tend to favor the S-21 concept within Kretschmann’s coalition government.

News of the upcoming test broke on March 5 in the Wall Street Journal ahead of the official corporate announcement on March 6. “The use of liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel is a potential transformational change for our railroad and for our industry,” BSNF chairman and CEO Matthew Rose said in a prepared release. “While there are daunting technical and regulatory challenges still to be faced, this pilot project is an important first step that will allow BNSF to evaluate the technical and economic viability of the use of liquefied natural gas in throughfreight service, potentially reducing fuel

The SPD’s whip in the state assembly, Claus Schmiedel, described Kretschmann’s remark about alternatives as an “unprecedented affront” that broke with the Greens-SPD coalition’s agreed policy stance. Baden Württemburg’s Transport Minister Winfried Herrmann, also of the Greens, reiterated Kretschmann’s proposal, saying mistakes based on false estimates must be acknowledged. “We have major concern, that the 6.5 or 6.8 billion euros will not be the end of the story and that it still hasn’t been clarified, who will absorb it all,” Herrmann said. “We don’t believe that one can enforce payment of voluntary contributions before a court.” In Berlin, outside DB’s high-rise headquarters, and in Stuttgart, scores of protesters demanded that the state-owned corporation drop its S-21 project. Protesters shouted: “We don’t need a billion-euro graveyard; we need a modernized terminus railway station.” One woman demonstrator dressed as Chancellor Merkel climbed through a stack of cartons symbolizing a golden tunnel.

As the Journal reported,

the company has a few regulatory and technological hurdles to overcome before they can start testing LNG. Federal regulators must weigh in on fuel-tank safety. Meanwhile, new systems would need to be build to deliver the gas to the locomotives and depot workers would need to be trained in using the new fuel. BSNF reported that that it is working with GE and EMD to develop things on the technology side. In addition to reducing emissions, BNSF could dramatically reduce its costs by burning LNG, which would be about 88% cheaper than diesel. Meanwhile, Buffett’s railways are due to profit from another fossil fuel: oil. The increase in domestic oil production means all of that new crude oil needs to be shipped somehow and Berkshire Hathaway’s railways already ship about 10% of the oil produced in the country every day. Buffett’s company also

In his annual letter to shareholders (pdf), Buffett notes that a train car sells for “upward of $100,000” and it has enough orders on hand to extend “well into 2014.” Buffett expects both parts of his railway business to benefit from oil. “All indications are that BNSF’s oil shipments will grow substantially in coming years,” he wrote in his investor letter. source : mnm.com

AZMEB to Debut in Brisbane Speaking ahead of the Brisbane Truck Show, AZMEB General suspension, Maxus drum axles, a manual roll-over tarp, Fullchamp forged alloy wheels, Triangle tyres and boasts a 23 cubic metre load capacity. Manager, Simon Martin, highlighted the main benefits of the brand’s Door Side Tipper which will be on display. “Over 25 years of experience in side tipper manufacture has gone into the unique design for the AZMEB door side tipper,” he said. “But for many, this will be the first time they’ve seen an AZMEB tipper up close. We are looking forward to the opportunity to demonstrate first-hand the many advantages of our design.” The AZMEB Door Side Tipper has a single hydraulic ram construction, which lessens the need for extra controls and hydraulic circuits, in turn reducing potential downtime. “The single ram design means that when the trailer tips, there is only one action for tipping and door opening combined, speeding up the overall process considerably,” said Mr Martin. “The bowl floor design also aids this fast unloading process, as it reduces sticking and avoids product getting caught in the corners of the tub. Dependent on the hydraulic flow supplied, the whole load can be tipped in as little as 25 seconds.”

Capacities on the Door Side Tipper can range from 14 all the way up to 57 cubic metres. Mr Martin says that while the brand is widely used around Australia, he is looking forward to making even more operators aware of the advantages of AZMEB trailers. “Since AZMEB was acquired by MaxiTRANS in mid2012, we have made the brand much more accessible by building a dealer network around the country. This means that not only is there a dealership in most capital cities, but also a national service and parts network which gives owners a greater degree of backup should they need it.” AZMEB Bulk Transfer Systems can be found on stand number 41 at the Brisbane Truck Show. The show runs from the 16th to the 19th May 2013, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. source : maxitrans.com

A heavy duty rubber hinge on the door is another feature of the product. “The rubber hinge is tough, durable, and isn’t prone to rust,” Mr Martin claimed. “Meanwhile a continuous tub-to-chassis pivot bearing distributes loads evenly across the tub and chassis, resulting in low maintenance and trouble free operation.” The display trailer features the renowned heavy duty VE-50 mechanical

Jungheinrich Unveils New Driverless Transport System

which can be employed for any kind of standardised transport operation,” explains Dr Martin Schwaiger, Head of APM at Jungheinrich. The new driverless transport system from Jungheinrich is designed primarily to perform recurring transport assignments — for example, moving items from incoming goods or from the production line to a specified transfer point. The Auto Pallet Mover can be integrated into existing warehouse management systems. “Integrating an APM in the respective infrastructure is fast, easy and safe,” says Schwaiger. The truck uses reflectors and laser navigation in the warehouse to achieve precise orientation down to the millimetre. He continues: “The modular system design offers great flexibility, making it easy to add further trucks to the system.” Integrated Personnel Safety System The EKS 210a comes standard-equipped with a personnel safety system consisting of a laser scanner mounted in the direction of drive plus built-in sensors in the load direction. “These essentially surround the APM with a protective field,” relates Schwaiger. This field permanently checks the truck’s environment and stops the APM whenever an obstacle crops up. According to Schwaiger, this means the driverless transport system is “designed to cope perfectly with mixed operations”. The vehicle control and route planning systems ensure excellent coordination of vehicles and an optimised flow of traffic. The APM can be operated either as a stand-alone solution or in the context of a warehouse management system. Reliable, tried-and-tested series-production trucks from Jungheinrich serve as the base vehicles for every Auto Pallet Mover. Apart from eliminating warehouse errors, the key advantages of this materials handling solution consist of the ease with which customers can customise or add to it. As with Jungheinrich’s series-production trucks, APMs are integrated into the company’s quick-to-respond, world-wide service network.

Jungheinrich’s new Auto Pallet Mover EKS 210a represents an automated truck solution which substantially enhances the efficiency of logistics processes.

Jungheinrich ranks among the world’s leading companies in the material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow engineering sectors. The company is an intralogistics service and solution provider with manufacturing operations, which offers its customers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks, shelving systems, services and advice. Jungheinrich shares are traded on all German stock exchanges.

New Systems Division will offer impartial warehouse planning and optimsation advice

Articulated forklift truck technology developer Flexi Narrow Aisle will use IMHX 2013 to announce the introduction of its new Warehouse Systems Division. The new Division has been launched to offer a comprehensive range of warehouse planning and design consultancy services to the logistics and materials handling industry. “Flexi Warehouse Systems will offer impartial advice on a broad spectrum of warehouse based intralogistics solutions. It’s aim will be to offer the most space efficient and cost effective system for each application – even if the solution does not involve articulated or VNA trucks!” explains John Maguire, Flexi Narrow Aisle’s sales and marketing director.

The new reach trucks from Linde At the start of March, Linde Material Handling is launching its new generation of Linde reach trucks, which encompasses models R14 to R20 for a load range of 1.4 to 2 tons. With their compact, manoeuvrable design, the new trucks enable an even more productive flow of goods into the warehouse, as a whole host of new technical solutions make the trucks more comfortable, more powerful, safer and easier to service. The considerably wider range of models for mast/chassis/battery combinations and the optional features allow customer-specific solutions to be derived from series production.

John Maguire adds: “Using warehouse planning and throughput simulation software and drawing on the many years’ experience of the Flexi Warehouse Systems development team, the Flexi Warehouse Systems Division will Stable and safe at great heights deliver tailored and impartial input and advice to any intralogistics development process.” Reach trucks represent the premium class when it comes to warehouse technology.

Personnel costs represent the largest expenditure category for every truck operation. What’s more, operators greatly influence the handling performance of their equipment. For these reasons, Linde focused on improving truck ergonomics during the development of the new reach trucks.

New Narrow Aisle Stacker from Jungheinrich

EFX 410-413 Takes Full Advantage of Warehouse Navigation System Transponder technology forms the basis for outfitting Jungheinrich’s “small” narrow aisle stacker with the Jungheinrich warehouse navigation system. Users now stand to benefit from higher throughput rates — up to 25 percent more. In March 2013 Jungheinrich is unveiling its new EFX 410-413 truck. This is an electric front seat/trilateral stacker with a lift height of up to 7 metres. “This truck represents an ‘entry model’ for the narrow aisle warehouse,” explains Sebastian Riedmaier, Head of Product Management for Warehousing and Systems at Jungheinrich. A completely new feature of this truck generation consists of its JXP control system based on RFID technology — already successfully applied to “big” narrow aisle stackers for several years now. The new technology makes it possible for the EFX 410-413 to take full advantage of the Jungheinrich warehouse navigation system, as the new stacker can now communicate with customer-specific warehouse management systems — something its “larger cousin”, the EKX 513-515, has been able to do since 2008. A logistics interface allows for communication of information from the warehouse management system to the control system of the narrow aisle stacker. Shortest Route to Destination The warehouse management system issues storage and picking instructions to the truck. The driver heads for the aisle where the relevant item is stored. The approach to the target position in the aisle is then controlled automatically by the navigation system. “The driver only needs to accelerate and the truck takes the shortest route, at optimum speed and the lowest possible energy consumption,” comments Sebastian Riedmaier. “Our experience over the past few years reveals that by using warehouse navigation, throughput rates can be increased by up to 25 per-

cent,” he says. Apart from higher throughput rates, the design offers enhanced process security, as it prevents incorrect storage. Security scans are no longer needed for each stacker operation, and the navigation system reports the correct storage completion via Wi-Fi to the warehouse management system. The latest generation of Jungheinrich three-phase AC drive technology is responsible for the new stacker’s high degree of energy efficiency. According to Riedmaier, this technology, developed in-house, is what ensures that “Jungheinrich stackers can do significantly more while consuming less energy.” Regenerative braking and feeding the energy back in when lowering loads adds up to a substantial amount of reclaimed energy. And an active battery management system optimizes power flows and protects the battery. The advantage for the operator in a word: full operation over two shifts without the need for battery changing. The EFX 410-413 is also flexible, as it can be used in a controlled mode in narrow aisles or driven freely in a wide aisle setting. “This stacker is nimble and flexible in the pre-zone,” continues Riedmaier, adding: “It can even be used to unload lorries!” Due to the front seat design design, the truck can be used like a “normal” counterbalanced stacker. The mast is positioned sideways, ensuring an unobstructed view of the aisle and load. Jungheinrich ranks among the world’s leading companies in the material handling equipment, warehousing and material flow engineering sectors. The company is an intralogistics service and solution provider with manufacturing operations, which offers its customers a comprehensive range of forklift trucks, shelving systems, services and advice. Jungheinrich shares are traded on all German stock exchanges. source : jungheinrich.com

As part of this process, warehouse operators need to ensure that the most appropriate mechanical handling equipment is used to avoid any damage to the stored product’s packaging that may lead to spillage of the contents and, therefore, accidents.

“However, at chemical storage facilities the potential consequences are all together more serious and could have serious health and safety implications.”

One of the most common ways that the packaging of dangerous substances becomes damaged within a warehouse is when the forks of a forklift truck pierce it during the pallet put away or picking process.

He continues: “A 1.6 tonne counterbalanced forklift truck travelling at just 3 miles per hour will generate enough force to cause significant damage to a chemical drum or other form of IBC. But Sumo Gloves reduce the impact damage significantly.”

Indeed, a recent HSE investigation in to accidents involving the spillage of ammonia within chemical plants and warehouses highlighted the number of cases where a forklift’s forks had penetrated IBCs or drums containing ammonia solution.

“Anyone tasked with undertaking a risk assessment at a facility where chemicals are stored would see that unguarded forklift forks represent a significant danger to packaged products stored on pallets.

For example, fire crews from across Gloucestershire had to race to GlaxoSmithKline’s factory when a forklift truck driver pierced a chemical drum. Around 30 firefighters, including an environmental unit, were at the plant for around four hours while the clean-up operation took place.

“By fitting Sumo Gloves to the forks of their lift trucks, companies can demonstrate that they have taken steps to implement a system that controls risks to their employees and others,” Simon Ross adds.

Toyota Australia media and external affairs manager Beck Angel told Drive that the company is expecting to announce a recall later this week, but it hasn’t yet confirmed that it will.

Toyota recalls 310,000 FJ Cruisers

“At the moment we’ve received the relevant information, and we’re just assessing the details before we make a decision,” she says. “We’ll make a decision in the coming days.”

According to Japan, approximately 310,000 examples of the Japanese brand’s off-roader built between 2007 and 2013 are subject to the recall over potentially faulty seatbelt retractors in the FJ Cruiser.

Angel couldn’t confirm how many cars may be affected by the recall, but the brand has sold 5292 units since the FJ Cruiser went on sale in 2011.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has issued a recall for about 209,000 cars. It states that the retractors for the front seats are mounted in the rear doors (the “suicide” style rearward opening panels) that, because of “insufficient strength of the rear door panel”, may crack if the door is “repeatedly and forcefully” closed. The release says that “if cracks occur in the panel around the lower seatbelt retractor anchor, the seatbelt retractor may become detached”.

Since 2009, Toyota has recalled about 15 million cars, including numerous models in Australia, for potential faults including sticking accelerator pedals, floor mats that could trap the accelerator, braking problems, stalling engines, steering defects, fuel leakages, airbag nondeployment and malfunctioning seatbelt buckles in models other than the FJ Cruiser. source : canberratimes.drive.com

According to NHTSA, no accidents or injuries have been reported due to the seatbelt issue.

Beijing uses electric vehicles in logistics

pilot project launched by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce (BMCC) and Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission in late February of this year. Serving in four fleets for four local logistics companies, the vehicles have specially built facilities for recharge. After being fully charged with 27 kilowatt hours of electricity in six hours, they can run up to 100 kilometers, at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The use of electric vehicles for delivery purposes will help promote the development of electric cars in the capital city, said Ran Jinsheng, vice director of the BMCC. Ran stressed that the move is of great significance as it will control energy consumption and reduce the city’s air pollution. Industrial insiders also believe that the pilot project, once it becomes successful and is expanded to involve more companies, will help reduce the cost of logistics.

Enhance your steering, with the new Broshuis SL front axle

As a result of the multitude of benefits the SL trailer provides for transport companies, demand for this type of trailer has been intense. The golden combination of increased load area and a lower loading floor makes it possible to transport the same load using fewer axles. In addition to that golden combination, the steering is also an important factor for transport companies. In that respect, a steering angle of almost 60 degrees is unprecedented. With that in mind, we have now developed the SL front axle for the multiple-axle semi low loaders. This front axle with counter-steering effect and a steering angle of 32 degrees now provides the trailer with even smoother bend-handling characteristics. Several SL trailers have now been fitted with the new SL front axle, including the 7-axle semi low loaders for Susenburger, Schmidt and Wocken. When it comes to working with you to configure the perfect trailer, this new SL axle provides us with even greater flexibility than before. source : broshuis.com

Rinspeed concept vehicle powered by Linde Material Handling

Under the motto “My, your, our car!”, the automotive think-tank Rinspeed, run by its Swiss founder, Frank M. Rinderknecht, unveiled the “microMAX” at this year’s motor show — a completely new class of vehicle with an innovative upright seating concept that aims to combine private and public use over short distances in a smart way. The vehicle is fitted with the eco-Kit M from Linde Material Handling, the leading manufacturer of electrically driven counterbalance forklift trucks in Europe. The device is responsible for powering the drive system of the “microMAX”, which is a fully electric vehicle. The eco-Kit M is one of three pre-built drive units that provide 12 (S), 32 (M) and 50 (L) kilowatts of power, allowing mobile and stationary applications to be converted to electrical power. The company first presented the unit at Automechanika 2012.

ing the drive direction switch and contactor board with the main contactor, DC converter and further components that round off the system, are also used in the E35 electric forklift truck from Linde MH, and have been tried and tested many times in everyday use. “I was very impressed at how fast Linde Material Handling reacted to our request and how quickly the drive system was integrated into the vehicle”, Rindspeed CEO Frank M. Rinderknecht recalls. “Together, we were able to get the Drive sub-project off the ground in five weeks, which convinced me that Linde MH was our preferred partner from the start for this project”. Rinderknecht, a visionary in the automotive world, learnt of the activities and products of Linde Material Handling in the field of electromobility when he visited Automechanika. The company has been offering and marketing these products under the “eMotion” label since 2010. The key organisation in this area is the Electronic Systems & Drives (ES&D) department at Linde Material Handling, which is now part of the newly established New Business & Products division. “Under the eMotion label, we are grouping all of the knowledge gained from four decades of developing electrical drive systems for industrial trucks, the proven systems expertise of ES&D and our tried-and-tested truck components from series production. We then offer this package to new customer groups as a system solution for a wide range of applications”, explains Theodor Maurer, Chief Executive Officer of Linde Material Handling, on the logic behind the new offering. Maik Manthey, Head of the New Business & Products division adds, “The contribution we have made to this new ‘microMAX’ mobility concept is an excellent example of what ES&D can achieve, and shows once again that efficient, high-performance but, at the same time, cost-effective electric drive systems are no longer a vision of the future”.

Linde Material Handling has already had some commercial success with the ROTRAC E2 and E4 electric rail-road shunters, which are a result of collaboration with rail-road specialist Zwiehoff, a company based in Rosenheim, Germany; these shunters are now in use in loading stations and repair workshops from Paderborn in Germany to Kazakhstan.

Isuzu Truck (UK) Limited sold to Isuzu Motors Limited, Japan

As the result of a collaboration with CTU bv, a subsidiary of the Theo Pouw Group, a new type of chassis has been added to our product range this year. The new addition is a fixed container chassis for the transportation of 1 x 40ft or 2 x 20ft containers that is especially suited for heavy-duty port-side working and coupling work. Compared to other suppliers, extra heavy-duty struts, heavy-duty supporting legs and a customised back make this chassis the strongest and most robust chassis of its type. The chassis is equipped with BPW disc brakes and is supplied with aluminium air reservoirs as standard.

Isuzu Truck (UK) was formed in 1996. Nikki explained: “We established the Isuzu Truck commercial vehicle brand in a crowded marketplace. We concentrated on offering award-winning customer service with highly-specified technical training for our dealers and some of the best trucks available within the Isuzu product range. We’ve grown from strength to strength and established a nationwide group of 60 dealers strategically located throughout England, Scotland and Wales.” The company managed to successfully negotiate a management buy-out from RAC PLC in 2004, with Isuzu Motors Limited Japan retaining a 15% share in the company. Nikki recalled: “When we bought the company we offered share options to all of our employees of the time. We are delighted that through the sale of the company to Isuzu many of our long-term employees will benefit with a surprise cheque of at least four figures.

“Like many other UK companies, we were seriously affected at the start of the recession in 2008. We did make a few redundancies but survived the worst period by the board of directors taking a pay cut and our employees accepting a wage freeze. Since then we’ve been able to grow and in the last year alone our sales increased by 13% with a turnover of just over £24 million.” Nikki explained: “This is the ideal time for us to sell the company shareThe chassis itself is “smart” in its construction.

Balancing Risk and Regulation - A Pragmatic Approach to Aviation Security The International Air Transport Association (IATA) called upon governments to work with industry to develop a pragmatic approach to keeping aviation secure by balancing risk and regulation.

“We have a big responsibility—keeping more than 3 billion air travelers, nearly 50 million tonnes of freight and the world’s economies securely connected by air. The foundation for achieving these is working together to strike the right balance on risk and regulation. If we don’t find the right balance soon we will lose the goodwill of our passengers and shippers, clog our airports, slow world trade, and bring down the level of security that we have worked so hard to build-up. We cannot accept 100% risk. And any regulation that completely eliminated risk would shut the industry down—an equally unacceptable solution. A pragmatic approach is needed,” said Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO at the AVSEC World aviation security conference in Brooklyn, New York.

AIRBRIDGECARGO ADDS THIRD WEEKLY FLIGHT TO MILAN AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), Russia’s largest international cargo airline and a part of Volga-Dnepr Group, has increased its flights from Moscow to Milan to three times a week. The new Boeing 747 all-cargo service will operate every Tuesday and is in addition to ABC’s existing flights on Thursdays and Sundays. AirBridgeCargo has served the Italian city since 2009. The airline’s hub model for cargo transportation via Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport means it is able to connect Milan with the largest markets in Asia including Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Chengdu, Seoul and Tokyo. Tatyana Arslanova, Executive President of AirBridgeCargo, said: “Milan is a very important and successful route for us and through close communication with our customers and constant monitoring of demand levels and trends in the market, we have introduced a third weekly frequency as a strategic step to increase footprint in the European market and to meet the level of capacity our customers need from us. We expect cargo flows from Asia to Milan through our Sheremetyevo hub to increase, and we are equally confident in the market from Milan, which is being stimulated by the emerging positive trends in the Chinese and European economies.” source : airbridgecargo.com

In line with its proposed pragmatic way forward, IATA issued a call to transition aviation security from a one-size-fits-all proscriptive approach to a risk-based, results-driven model. “We must put desired results at the center of our efforts. If we want to keep bombs off of airplanes, it does not matter whether we use machines, dogs, intelligence or any combination thereof. We must understand that bureaucracy and rules do not equate to effective security. And we must recognize that 99.9999% (if not more) of passengers and freight pose no threat to aviation. So we need to make better use of the information that is available to assess the risk of the people, objects or situations that can pose threats,” said Tyler.

And we are not proposing infringements on privacy. But we can use existing information more effectively,” said Tyler.

The CoF program has moved from the standard setting phase into implementation. The CoF Roadmap and Concept definition were completed in 2012. Successful trials of some components were completed in Geneva, London Heathrow and Amsterdam. A program of ten new trials is planned for this year in preparation for the first end-to-end version being implemented in 2014.

IAG Cargo announces that it will provide additional cargo capacity on flights from

Cargolux initially introduced the 747 Freighter in 1979 when it acquired its first two new 747-200Fs from Boeing. The introduction of the 747-200F, with its increased capacity and unique nose cargo door enabled Cargolux to gain a foothold in the world cargo market and grow profitably throughout the 1980s.

Hyderabad to London. The capacity will be generated from an additional weekly passenger flight originating at HYD airport, serviced by a Boeing 767 aircraft. The additional flight, which commences on 31st March 2013, will benefit customers in this important trade hub by offering increased access to IAG Cargo global network.

Cargolux became the world’s first operator of the 747-400 Freighter in 1993. At the time, the 747 400 Freighter was the largest commercial cargo transport in service, with the lowest tonne-km cost in the industry which provided Cargolux with the ability to carry twice as much cargo, twice as far, and grow into the world’s leading all-cargo airline.

In recent years Hyderabad has become an important manufacturing base for pharmaceutical industry products intended for the global market. Through this extra flight, business in Hyderabad will benefit from having greater flexibility over their shipment schedules.

In 2005, Cargolux pioneered another new aircraft type in the air cargo industry when it ordered 13 Boeing 747-8 Freighters. The first airplane joined the Luxembourg launch customer in late 2011, making Cargolux the first operator of the type worldwide and was put directly into service flying to Seattle’s Sea-Tac International Airport where it was loaded with revenue cargo. Since 2011, the 747-8F has provided Cargolux with 16% lower operating economics and a 30% smaller noise footprint to keep the airline at the forefront of the world cargo market.

IAG Cargo announces increased capacity on Hyderabad route

Pravin Singh, Area Commercial Manager South Asia at IAG Cargo, commented: We have seen an increase in demand for products coming from Hyderabad, particularly to North and South American markets. This additional capacity represents growth in a commercially important market and provides our customers a much-needed solution for Friday lift. It is particularly exciting to be able to play a role in supporting India phenomenal economic growth, not least in this important market but also grow our footprint across India.

AIR TRANSPORT Volga-Dnepr AN-124 transports fuselage section of new generation russian passenger aircraft

Lion Air Orders More Than 200 Airbus Jets European aerospace giant Airbus will sign on Monday what would mark one of its biggest orders ever from Indonesia’s Lion Air for more than 200 A320 medium-haul jets, business daily Les Echos reported. The deal is expected to be worth more than $20 billion with a standard A320 model priced at $91.5 million. Its newer and more fuel-efficient NEO plane has a price tag of more than $100 million.

One of Volga-Dnepr Airlines’ giant AN-124-100 freighters was needed to transport a fuselage section for the new Irkut MS-21 Russian passenger aircraft. The aircraft section was transported between the Russian cities of Irkutsk and Zhukovsky on February 25th. The dimensions of the outsize cylindrical fuselage section were 11.5 metres in length, 4.7 metres in width and 4.2 metres in height so the gap between the AN-124-100 cargo hold’s contour was minimal and required all of Volga-Dnepr’s technical loading expertise to ensure it was moved on and off the aircraft safely. Loading the piece of fuselage required the development of special tackle which was produced in cooperation between the specialists at Volga-Dnepr and the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. The metal fuselage was manufactured by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant and carried to the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky to conduct tests. The Irkut MS-21 belongs to the new generation of passenger aircraft and its development and production is being supported by the Russian federal programme for ‘The Development of civil aviation in Russia until 2015’. The Irkut MS-21 is one of the key projects of the Russian aviation industry in the civil aircraft market. Volga-Dnepr has a proven track record of moving aircraft fuselage sections and its customers for these specialist movements have previously included British Aerospace and Sukhoi Civil Aircraft. source : volga-dnepr.com

French President Francois Hollande’s office said that he would host the chief executive of Airbus to celebrate the signing of “a major industrial agreement,” but both the plane maker and the French presidency declined further comment. The government said the deal with the Asian budget airline will be signed as France’s Industry Week kicks off, but declined to give more details on the nature of the agreement. Monday’s meeting between Hollande and Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier will take place at 1000 GMT at the presidential palace. The news comes just days after Airbus received an order worth as much as $15.5 billion from Turkish airlines for up to 117 planes. That order also centered on Airbus’ A320 medium-haul family. Lion Air is Indonesia’s largest privately-run airline and would be a new client for Airbus as it has previously been equipped almost exclusively by US rival Boeing. In 2011, the Indonesian carrier signed a record $22.4 billion deal for 230 Boeing 737 airliners. The Lion Air order marks at least the third attempt by Airbus to woo Lion Air, long seen as a fortress for Boeing.It is likely to throw the spotlight on an intense battle for market share between the largest planemakers. It is also likely to add zest to a regional battle for supremacy between Lion Air and AirAsia, the low-cost carrier founded by Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes. Lion Air is about to start up a domestic Malaysian rival to AirAsia, which has long been exclusively an Airbus operator. Some industry watchers have warned of a potential price war. The airlines are respectively among the top buyers of Boeing and Airbus jets. Airlines rarely switch suppliers because of re-training costs and the burden of keeping extra spares, but the practice of “flipping” has grown as market share battles raged. As France battles with rising unemployment figures, Airbus is one of the few companies that continues to recruit heavily. In January, Bregier said the company would hire 3,000 people worldwide in 2013. Boeing outsold Airbus in 2012 for the first time in six years and remains ahead this year, according to monthly data. With some 240 million people, Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation and most far-flung archipelago with more than 17,000 islands scattered across 33 provinces. Air travel has grown sharply in recent years with the emergence of budget carriers like Lion Air, as well as rising incomes thanks to steady economic growth. source : thejakartaglobe.com

Boeing Statement on Ryanair’s Commitment to Order 175 Next-Generation 737s

Airbus delivers 100th A380 Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Airbus together marked a major achievement, with the hand-over of the 100th A380 to MAS at Airbus’ Henri Ziegler Delivery Centre in Toulouse, France. The aircraft is the sixth A380 for MAS. Boeing (NYSE: BA) is delighted that Ryanair has announced a commitment “We are delighted that our 100th A380 delivery is to Malaysia Airlines as to order this gives us an early glimpse into the future shape of aviation,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO. “We see a growing demand from 175 Next-Generation 737-800s for the airline’s fleet expansion. When finalized, the agreement will be worth $15.6 billion at list prices and will be dynamic, competitive airlines such as MAS for larger aircraft, with many markets and routes, and in particular in the fast developing Asia-Pacific posted to the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website as a firm order. region, being ideally suited to A380s.” “This agreement is an amazing testament to the value that the Next-Generation 737 brings to Ryanair,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President & CEO Ray Conner. “We are pleased that the Next-Generation 737, as the most efficient, most reliable large single-aisle airplane flying today, has been and will continue to be the cornerstone of the Ryanair fleet. Our partnership with this great European low-cost carrier is of the utmost importance to everyone at The Boeing Company and I could not be more proud to see it extended for years to come.” Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary and Conner will hold a joint press conference today to discuss the announcement at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (Starlight Roof), 301 Park Avenue, New York, at 10:15am ET. source : boeing.com

Now in its sixth year of commercial service, the A380 is flying with nine world class airlines. To date, the worldwide fleet has carried some 36 million passengers in 100,000 flights. Previous generation Very Large Aircraft (VLA 400 seats and above) would have required 140,000 flights. This reduction in flights brings essential relief to airport-congestion and the environment. The corresponding saving of 5.7 million tonnes of CO2, demonstrates the A380 generates more revenue whilst minimising emissions and noise. The A380 fleet performs over 140 flights per day and carries over one and a half million people each month. Passengers can hop on board one of the A380s which are either taking off or landing every six minutes at one of the 32 international airports where it operates to date. On top of these, more than 50 other airports are getting prepared to accommodate the A380 and answer the airlines’ need for more A380 destinations. Over the next 20 years, more than 1,700 VLA such as the A380 will have been delivered. Asia Pacific leads demand (45 percent) for these high capacity aircraft, followed by the Middle East (23 percent) and Europe (19 percent). Typically seating 525 passengers in three classes, the aircraft is capable of flying 8,500 nautical miles or 15,700 kilometres non-stop, carrying more people at lower cost and with less impact on the environment. The spacious, quiet cabin and smooth ride have made the A380 a firm favourite with passengers, resulting in higher load factors wherever it flies. Since 2006 the A380 has registered repeat orders by satisfied customers every year, bringing the total order book to date to 262 from 20 customers. source : airbus.com

While it would take about a week for the new battery kit to be installed in each of the six Dreamliners which Air India has, the earliest time by which these planes would again be operational is April-end, the sources said. The 50 Dreamliners, which have been delivered so far to airlines in India, Chile, Ethiopia, Japan, Poland, Qatar and the US, were grounded after two battery-fire incidents in January. “Our top priority is the integrity of our products and the safety of the passengers and crews who fly on them,” Boeing chairman Jim McNerney said, announcing FAA approval. “We’ve improved design features of the battery to prevent faults from occurring and to isolate any that do,” he said. Design feature improvements for the battery include addition of new thermal and electrical insulation materials and other changes, Boeing said, adding that the enhanced production and testing processes include more stringent screening of battery cells prior to their assembly. source : indiatoday.intoday.in

DNV-led JIP proves feasible LNG bunkering in Australian ports

Gazprom boosting efficiency of associated petroleum gas utilization The Gazprom Management Committee took into consideration the information relevant to boosting the efficiency of associated petroleum gas (APG) utilization in Russia. Attractive payback periods from the additional investments required for LNG fuelled shipping, along with no significant legal restrictions hindering development of LNG bunkering in Australia. This is the conclusion of a Joint Industry Project (JIP) focusing on LNG fuelled tugs and OSVs, managed by DNV with nine partners in Australia. The use of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as a fuel for ships is seen as one of the options to address the future environmental and commercial challenges in the shipping industry. With proper combinations of bunkering solutions such as tank trucks, permanent tanks and barges in the different ports, efficient LNG bunkering can be established. The partners of the JIP, Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), BOC Limited (Linde Group), Farstad Shipping Pty. Ltd., Ports Australia, Rolls-Royce Marine AS, SVITZER Australia, Swire Pacific Offshore Operations (Pte) Ltd., Teekay Shipping (Australia) Pty. Ltd., Woodside Energy Ltd. and DNV are optimistic about the future of LNG as maritime fuel in Australia after having screened the possibilities to establish LNG bunkering in ten Australian ports. This study recommends more technical guidelines and a clearer regulatory framework to be established, along with financial incentives to kick-start the development. When establishing LNG bunkering, the critical business phase is the first 2-4 years of operation when the LNG suppliers rely on a few brave ship owners willing to be industry forerunners. After some years of successful operation a second wave of ships is expected to enter the market, which will reduce suppliers’ uncertainty and reinforce the business case. The JIP focused specifically on the initial phase, and created roadmaps for necessary action for most rapid establishment of LNG bunkering in shortlisted ports. An accelerated approach can open up LNG bunkering in Australia by 2016.

It was noted that APG combustion was an acute problem of today’s oil and gas industry due to economic, ecological and social disadvantages and risks especially in terms of global trends towards low-carbon and energy efficient economics. Russia is still the world leader in APG combustion volumes: according to available data, this figure surpassed 17 billion cubic meters in 2012. Yet, associated petroleum gas is a valuable resource that may be utilized as an energy carrier, a raw material in gas treatment and gas chemical sectors, as well as for gas injection and oil recovery enhancement. Since 2009 Gazprom has been taking great efforts to increase the utilization efficiency of produced APG. The company displays a steady increase in APG utilization from 59 per cent to 70 per cent in 2012. Moreover, Gazprom promotes cooperation with independent producers in this business segment. Thus, a permanent working group is established to coordinate Gazprom’s interaction with oil companies while developing and implementing joint projects on extraction, treatment and transmission of associated petroleum and natural gas from the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area to Gazprom’s production facilities. Jointly with LUKOIL the Company is going to launch a project on processing APG from the Komi Republic at the Sosnogorsk GPP. APG supplies from independent subsurface users in the Irkutsk Region and Yakutia are provided for as part of the project for building the Power of Siberia gas transmission system. In addition to investment projects on APG utilization, Gazprom allows priority access to its gas transmission system (GTS) for suppliers of dry stripped gas (DSG) recovered as a result of APG processing. DSG transmission volumes grow annually: Gazprom’s GTS is expected to take 22.3 billion cubic meters of DSG from independent producers in 2013, that will exceed 2012 figures by 6.7 per cent (20.9 billion cubic meters). The measures being taken by the Government encourage subsurface users to raise investments into APG utilization facilities. Starting from this year, in addition to elevated payments for APG combustion, an investment deduction system is coming into effect, according to which capital investments in APG utilization projects will be deduced from the combustion payments. In this way, the total APG utilization volume will increase in Russia.

DNV Maritime Country Manager, Tim Holt, states “We have been impressed with the interest and commitment shown by the Australian shipping industry in investigating LNG as a cleaner and locally available marine fuel.” JIP Project Manager Henning Mohn adds, “Increasing LNG production along with new international regulations boost the interest in LNG In this context, Gazprom’s specialized structural units were tasked to comfuelled shipping; this may actually to some extent switch ships from fuelling pile in the fourth quarter of 2013 a program of actions aimed at synchronizwith imported fuel to using domestically produced LNG.” ing the activities of Gazprom and independent APG suppliers in order to boost its utilization efficiency. source : dnv.com

Shell to develop two additional natural gas for transport corridors in North America Through further investments in LNG for Transport, Shell plans to utilize North American natural gas to provide an innovative and cost-effective fuel for its commercial customers. In the Great Lakes Corridor, Shell plans to install a small-scale liquefacShell and its affiliates plan to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel one step closer for its marine and heavy-duty on-road customers in North America by taking a final investment decision on two small-scale liquefaction units. These two units will form the basis of two new LNG transport corridors in the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions. This decision follows an investment decision in 2011 on a similar corridor in Alberta, Canada. Shell is also working to use natural gas as a fuel in its own operations. “Natural gas is an abundant and cleaner-burning energy source in North America, and Shell is leveraging its LNG expertise and integrated strength to make LNG a viable fuel option for the commercial market,” said Marvin Odum, President, Shell Oil Company. “We are investing now in the infrastructure that will allow us to bring this innovative and cost-competitive fuel to our customers.” In the Gulf Coast Corridor, Shell plans to install a small-scale liquefaction unit (0.25 million tons per annum) at its Shell Geismar Chemicals facility in Geismar, Louisiana, in the United States. Once operational, this unit will supply LNG along the Mississippi River, the Intra-Coastal Waterway and to the offshore Gulf of Mexico and the onshore oil and gas exploration areas of Texas and Louisiana. To service oil and gas and other industrial customers in Texas and Louisiana, Shell is expanding its existing relationship with fuels and lubricants re-seller Martin Energy Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Martin Resource Management Corporation (MRMC). MRMC and its publicly traded affiliate, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. will provide terminalling, storage, transportation and distribution of LNG.

tion unit (0.25 million tons per annum) at its Shell Sarnia Manufacturing Centre in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Once operational, this project will supply LNG fuel to all five Great Lakes, their bordering U.S. states and Canadian provinces and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Interlake Steamship Company is expected to be the first marine customer in this region, as it begins the conversion of its vessels. Pending final regulatory permitting, these two new liquefaction units are expected to begin operations and production in about three years. Shell is also working to use LNG as a fuel in its own operations or to support its operations. Offshore Support Services: Shell has chartered three dual-fuel offshore support vessels (STX SV310DF) from Harvey Gulf International Marine utilizing Wärtsilä engine and LNG system technology. These vessels will be used to support Shell’s operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Onshore Production: Shell has also begun to transition many of its onshore drilling rigs and hydraulic fracturing spreads to LNG. These conversions can reduce fuel costs and local emissions. Given Shell’s leading expertise across the LNG value chain and its competitive position in the commercial fuel market, this extension into the North American market is a good fit for Shell and its customers. source : shell.com

Shell has a memorandum of understanding with Edison Chouest Offshore companies (ECO) to supply LNG fuel to marine vessels that operate in the Gulf of Mexico and to provide what is anticipated to be the first LNG barging and bunkering operation in North America at Port Fourchon, Louisiana. The LNG transport barges will move the fuel from the Geismar production site to Port Fourchon where it will be bunkered into customer vessels. www.indonesialogisticsonline.com | vol.05 | V | MARET - APRIL 2013

Wärtsilä launches GasReformer product for turning oil production gas into energy Wärtsilä has introduced a unique product, GasReformer, which uses steam reforming technology to convert associated gas to a quality that can be used as fuel in Wärtsilä’s range of gas fuelled engines. The Wärtsilä GasReformer is yet another example of the company developing highly efficient products and demonstrating integration capabilities which ensure environmentally and economically optimised solutions. Wärtsilä GasReformer has been awarded the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2013 Spotlight on New Technology Award. The award recognizes innovative new products that provide significant impact for offshore exploration and production. The award criteria were that the product must be new, less than two years old, innovative, proven, have broad interest and appeal for the offshore industry, and provide significant benefits beyond existing technologies. The Wärtsilä GasReformer is an innovative new product that enables gases produced during oil production, which by nature are rich in heavy hydrocarbons, to be converted into a methane rich product for utilization in Wärtsilä dual-fuel engines operating at full performance levels. Traditionally such gases would be flared and wasted. While catalytic conversion of hydrocarbon feeds to hydrogen is a known process dating back to the early 20th century, the Wärtsilä GasReformer represents a totally new application under quite different conditions than that of the traditional process. “Wärtsilä has considerable experience in the treatment of gaseous fuels for fuel cells, and this patented product is a result of this development work. It is yet another example of the company’s ability to develop solutions that combine both economic and environmental benefits. The uniqueness of the GasReformer is in its ability to convert unwanted heavier fractions from the gas into methane. By turning otherwise waste gas into fuel, the system significantly lowers operating costs while notably enhancing environmental sustainability. In locations where flaring is prohibited, this is especially important,” says Tore Lunde, Director Wärtsilä Oil & Gas Systems.

Mack Cracks the Code to Improve Uptime Mack Trucks announced that all new MACK® trucks will feature a unique QR code to speed service response times and improve customer uptime. QR codes, or quick response codes, are matrix bar codes that supply rapid retrieval of information when a tablet or other mobile device scans the code. Starting in April, Mack will install QR codes on the vehicle’s doorframe during the manufacturing process. When the vehicle arrives at the dealership, service advisors scan the vehicle’s unique code, allowing the service advisor to rapidly access the truck’s VIN, owner information and dealer service history and automatically launches Mack’s service management system powered by MVASIST. This electronic process eliminates the potential for errors that can occur with paper-based service write-ups. “Uptime is a critical component for the success of our customers,” said John Walsh, Mack vice president of marketing. “Mack developed the QR code process to reduce the amount of time customers need to wait while basic vehicle data is obtained and entered into the system. They need to be spending their valuable time on the job, not at the dealership.” The service advisor also has the ability to launch required inspections through the mobile device used for the initial scan. This step saves technicians time in completing and accurately documenting inspections and enables the truck to get back on the road faster. As an innovation in Mack’s Bulldog Service Management program, powered by MVASIST, the QR code technology is another resource Mack provides customers to improve service and support through the MACK® Pedigree™ Uptime Protection program. Pedigree Uptime Protection is an integrated suite of service and support solutions with four components: Bulldog Service Management, Bulldog Parts Purchasing, Bulldog Financing and Bulldog Asset Protection. The Bulldog Service Management component improves communications with customers, increases operating efficiency and reduces downtime.

The MVASIST platform allows customers to communicate with the dealer, initiate repairs, access their service history, approve and monitor repair status and manage repair expenses online. Associated gas from oil production is normally considered as waste and is MVASIST also offers the option to proactively plan and schedule routine consequently flared into the atmosphere. The World Bank-led Global Gas inspections and service. For example, fleet managers can customize the Flaring Reduction Partnership estimates that globally around 150 billion MVASIST service platform to automatically recommend an inspection of cubic metres of gas are flared or vented every year, causing some 400 million tons of carbon dioxide in annual emissions.

The Wärtsilä GasReformer is already at a dealer for service. This kind of customization can automate routine maintenance; provide online documentation and help managers treats this gas and converts it into a stable composition that can be used as fuel for Wärtsilä engines. This means that oil platforms and FPSO’s, which quickly access service information simply by logging onto the system. demand high levels of power, can utilize an energy source that was earlier Mack dealers can use MVASIST to recommend repairs, deliver complete not used at all.

Ports alerted to climate change shocks ahead Ports will need to be fortified against the effects of climate change, including higher sea levels, storm surges and more erosion, according to the most detailed study of the problem yet undertaken. The national climate adaption facility examined Sydney, Port Kembla and Gladstone ports - all of which are bottlenecks for imports and exports - and found they could face serious problems by 2070. ‘’The ports are already starting to see shocks in their supply chains from extreme weather, and without a doubt these are increasing and significant,’’ said one of the report’s authors, Jane Mullett, a research fellow at Melbourne’s RMIT. ‘’Then in the longer term, the impacts of sea level rise and extreme weather will be felt more and more. So most of them are starting to think through these problems now.’’ Dr Mullett and other researchers evaluated a range of climate change scenarios and interviewed port workers to build an online ‘’toolkit’’ to help port authorities adapt to climate change. Among other things, Dr Mullett’s report found that the physical fabric of port structures would corrode much more quickly in the future, as sea levels rise and storms become more powerful. In some cases, the lifespan of concrete would decrease by 16 years. ‘’What we found was that, particularly in smaller or medium-sized ports, they are aware of infrastructure decay, but they tend to work around it because they want ports to remain active and productive for as long as possible. So that may be something that needs to be addressed,’’ Dr Mullett said. Port authorities said they would work through the findings. ‘’What was interesting to us was the focus on what they call the ‘hinterland’ - the road and rail links that support the port - because if the port’s built to survive sea level rise but you can’t get anything in or out, then the port’s effectively closed,’’ said Mark Ireland, the sustainability manager at the Sydney Ports Corporation. A single road and a single rail link carry almost all traffic in and out of Port Botany, and they will be at risk of going underwater during storms. The docks themselves, including the new port extension alongside Sydney Airport’s third runway, have been built to withstand sea level rise of up to 0.9 metres by the end of this century - in line with projections from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. ‘’We are aware that the road and rail links do sometimes get inundated, so another 10 or 20 centimetres on top of that and the port’s effectively closed,’’ Mr Ireland said. ‘’We have days now where we have to close because the port’s too windy.’’

Russian Railways Logistics starts delivery of grain cargo to Armenia for UN World Food Programme JSC Russian Railways Logistics was founded in 2010 for the purpose of development of logistics business within “Russian Railways” Holding. In cooperation with Russian Railways subsidiaries and leading global transportation companies RZD logistics offers high-quality delivery solutions for its customers all over the world. In 2012 the company organized transportation of 3.3 mn tons of cargo against 1.5 mn tons in 2011. Net profit of the company of amounted to RUB97.2 mn in 2011. Russian Railways Logistics offers rail, road and sea-freight, intermodal transportation, storage and terminal handling, customs and insurance services, supply chain management. The branch of Russian Railways Logistics in Rostov-na-Donu won the tender of United Grain Company (OZK) for transportation of grain cargo for the UN World Food Programme. The first car filled with buckwheat dispatched from Kursk, Russia to Vanadzor, Armenia. In order to implement this project RZDL branch diversified the portfolio of transportation and logistics services offered in the CIS region. The client was offered a range of services including freight forwarding on the territory of Russia, Georgia and Armenia as well as sea freight and terminal handling. United Grain Company is a Russian state agricultural company, created in accordance with Russian presidential decree no. 290, dated March 20, 2009, and aimed at developing the infrastructure of the grain market, realizing the export potential of Russian grain on the global market, and actively buying and selling on the domestic grain market. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP is a UN agency funded through voluntary contributions. Each year the WFP feeds more than 90 mn people in more than 70 countries.

Dr Mullett’s report, Enhancing the resilience of seaports to a changing climate, was produced with aid from the National Climate Change Adapsource : africabusiness.com tion Research Facility, funding for which has just expired. As a result, the research unit will cease later this year. ‘’Our worry is that, if we don’t get further funded, important studies like this will end up gathering dust on a shelf somewhere and not being followed through,’’ said the facility’s deputy director, David Rissik. source : smh.com

GLOBAL Ecologically, it has long been known that electricity doesn’t hold the best of credentials thanks to the loss of energy during creation and distribution. If you take a traditional coal power station that produces electricity, surprisingly only about 30 to 35 per cent of the energy in the coal ends up as electricity on the other end of the generator. The most efficient power stations achieve just over 60 per cent. Even at 60 per cent efficiency, there is a huge amount of energy left behind in the generation process – a substantial waste in what we already know are limited resources.

Avoid an energy crisis and choose versatile LPG, says Calor Andy Kellett, Calor’s forklift national account manager, says business owners need to learn from what’s happening in the consumer market and choose a longterm energy solution to power their forklift fleets. The first quarter of 2013 saw the chief executive of Ofgem, Alistair Buckanan, warn UK households to prepare for a steep rise in energy bills in the next two years as Britain moves ‘dangerously’ close to power shortages. He told the press that the UK was becoming more reliant on energy imports and said a fall in the UK’s power production capacity was likely to lead to more energy imports and in turn price rises. As history dictates, we know through experience that what first effects consumers, rapidly becomes an issue for businesses too. As one of the UK’s leading providers of LPG, Calor believes there has never been a better time to choose the fuel as a long-term solution to power a company’s forklifts. The case for LPG over electric LPG forklift trucks operate effectively twenty-four hours a day with no loss of power - no matter how long and active the shift. They have the power to cope easily with steep gradients and uneven surfaces, their lifetime running costs can be lower than electric trucks and they are cheaper to buy and maintain. Environmentally, LPG has a much smaller carbon footprint than electricity and LPG trucks are far quicker to re-fuel than electric is to charge. In cold weather, LPG can operate effectively down to minus 20 degrees and best of all, there is no battery disposal problem with LPG trucks.

The case for LPG over diesel The other alterative for fleet operators is of course diesel powered trucks. Here, LPG also has many advantages. For instance, it’s more cost-effective to operate than diesel and can be used indoors as well as out, even in the most sensitive environments such as food storage areas. Fitted with a 3-way catalyst, LPG trucks are lead and soot free and there’s no possibility of contamination from spillages with LPG as it vaporises - unlike diesel. In addition, LPG produces fewer PM10 particles, which are associated with respiratory problems. The healthy choice Of course, the strongest message for LPG over diesel comes from the World Health Organisation (WHO). A panel of experts working for WHO recently announced that exhaust fumes from diesel engines do cause cancer. It concluded that the exhausts were definitely a cause of lung cancer and may also cause tumours in the bladder. It based the findings on research in high-risk workers such as miners, railway workers and truck drivers. Calor is one of the UK experts when it comes to LPG for both the home and for business. The company has been providing businesses with LPG for over 75 years. It says it has the largest fleet of LPG delivery tankers, around 40 Calor centres delivering cylinders and over 10,000 gas stockists around the country. The company’s Magnatract Technology is installed in every Calor forklift cylinder and all Calor cylinders contain dip tubes that are manufactured from ‘Memory Plastic’ which, unlike steel, is designed for flexibility and will never fracture. Calor’s dip tubes, alongside the Magnatract Technology, ensures the internal engineering of the cylinders reduce the risk of interruptions to a business. source : calor.co.uk

Clugston Construction begins work on a fifth Energy Recovery Facility Clugston Construction has now started construction work on an Energy Recovery

NYK Holds Fuel-saving Seminars for Shipowners and Ship-management Companies NYK recently held two fuel-saving seminars for shipowners and ship-management companies. The first was conducted on March 4 at the Imabari Kokusai Hotel in the city of Imabari, Ehime prefecture, and the second was held on March 7 at the NYK head office in Tokyo. A total of 135 participants representing 64 shipowners and ship-management companies that have business relationships with NYK attended the events. Slow steaming has become the most effective method to save on fuel, but concerns have remained about the impact slow steaming has on a ship’s main engine. But NYK studies have confirmed that slow steaming results in a decrease in thermal load and adverse effects can be controlled.

Facility (ErF) for waste management company Veolia Environmental Services in Shropshire. This brings to five the number of similar schemes undertaken by Clugston. The project is located at Battlefield Enterprise Park, near Shrewsbury and sees Clugston Construction once again working alongside our process engineering partner CNIM to construct the plant which will annually turn approximately 90,000 tonnes of residual waste, unsuitable for recycling and composting, into heat and power. Due to open in 2015, the facility, which is adjacent to the existing Household Recycling Centre and Transfer Station, will generate enough electricity to power 10,000 homes and is expected to reduce landfill disposal to 5% once operational. The project will create 21 permanent posts and is expected to involve up to 200 construction workers during the building stage.

In this fuel-saving seminar, Tsutomu Shoji, an NYK corporate officer and general manager of the company’s Fleet Upkeep Group, explained advantages to main engines caused by slow steaming based on the company’s detailed analyses of performance results for the past several years. He also talked about methods to minimize any adverse effects. Detailed explanations were then given by engine manufacturer representatives from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., Hitachi Zosen Corporation, and Diesel United Ltd.

Commenting on the project, Managing Director Steve Radcliffe said:

During the two-and-a-half-hour seminars in Imabari and Tokyo, NYK explained information and services that can be used to achieve fuel-savings. The company was also able to clear up any doubts by responding to various questions from participants, who were then asked for their cooperation in the company’s efforts.

“We are excited to now be entering the construction phase and once again be working with the Clugston CNIM team who are also responsible for the construction of our ErF in Staffordshire which is due to enter service early next year.”

As CO2 emission controls tighten and bunker prices rise, NYK recognizes that fuel-saving measures are very important issues for the entire maritime industry. NYK will thus continue the company’s efforts to improve understanding by providing technical information based on specific data so that our ships can run more economically and produce fewer emissions.

“We were delighted to have secured this contract which will be the fifth scheme we have delivered in joint venture with CNIM.” Donald Macphail, Regional Director for Veolia Environmental Services said:

Clugston Construction has a strong track record in the waste recovery and energy sectors. To date we have already completed an ErF project in Sheffield and we are consructing similar facilities in Lincolnshire, Staffordshire and Oxfordshire. source : clugston.co.uk
