    Mammoet has lifted and installed three transformers for Seattle City Light's Denny electrical substation under construction in the USA.

    Mammoet hoisted the three 125-ton (113.4-tonne) transformers using a Liebherr LTM 1400.

    The long reach of the crane enabled Mammoet to complete the lifting operations and the setting of foundations from a single location. This eliminated crane movements, which Mammoet says saved time in the execution.

    The installation of four metal clad capacitor banks was also completed by Mammoet. As overhead obstructions prevented the banks from being directly lifted into place, they were hoisted onto a jack and slide rail system, from which they were set onto the foundations.

    According to Mammoet, the Denny Substation, when completed, will be one of the largest developed by Seattle City Light. It is scheduled to be energised in early 2018.

    Port Corpus Christi has approved a contract for the construction of an additional 25 acre (10.1 ha) laydown yard for the storage of wind turbine components and other breakbulk cargo.

    The first phase of the project comprises a 10 acre (4 ha) laydown yard, which will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2018. The additional 15 acre (6 ha) laydown yard will be available in the following months.

    The wind turbine cargo volumes handled via the port have increased steadily over the past several years, says Port Corpus Christi. Jarl Pedersen, chief commercial officer, explained: "Port authorities play an important role within the supply chain to help customers and users successfully execute major wind turbine projects.

    "We also recognise the continued innovation in the wind energy industry and need to make infrastructure investments allowing us to offer competitive solutions for transport of ever larger wind turbine components."

    The Alabama State Port Authority (ASPA) and APM Terminals (APMT) have announced a USD 49.5 million expansion of the container facility at the Port of Mobile.

    The duo will jointly deliver a Phase 3 expansion that includes a dock extension and an additional 20 acres of improved yard to maintain excess capacity, ASPA and APMT said in a statement.

    When completed, the facility is expected to accommodate an annual throughput capacity of 650,000 TEU.

    “The Phase 3 expansion enables us to stay well ahead of the growth pattern we’ve seen in the Port of Mobile, as well as add dock space to support the growing vessel sizes that are coming to the terminal,” Brian Harold, managing director for APM Terminals Mobile, commented.

    The Phase 3 is part of a 5 Phase, long-term plan that can grow the terminal’s annual throughput capacity to 1.5 million TEU. Under the Phase 3 development, a 400-foot dock extension, super Post-Panamax crane rails and upgrades to the fender system will accommodate 14,000 TEU ships.

    The dock extension will take approximately 24 months to complete, while the yard will take 18 months to complete. When completed, Phase 3 will complement the recently commissioned Phase II investments that delivered 20 acres and installed two new super Post-Panamax cranes.

    Since 2005, the Port Authority and its partners have invested USD 535 million in shore-side and channel improvements to support the larger ships calling the Port of Mobile.

    Hutchison Ports' BEST semi-automated terminal in Bareclona has broken its own throughput record, breaking through the 1M moves/year barrier on 15th December

    The millionth container move is equivalent to around 1.8M TEU. The landmark container was loaded aboard the 13,800-TEU MSC BETTINA operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company.

    Commenting on the terminal’s achievement, Guillermo Belcastro, Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Ports BEST, said: "We are proud of reaching this latest milestone. The new record highlights BEST’s value proposition delivering the highest berth efficiency in the Mediterranean and the fastest delivery processes for trucks and trains. This way we are able to deliver our customers the perfect service combination at seaside and landside of the terminal.”

    Since its official opening in September 2012, BEST has continued to set new standard for ports in the region: it has achieved a Vessel Operating Rate of more than 220 moves per hour and a sustained annual average gross quay crane rate of over 40 moves per hour.

    BEST currently has 11 super post-Panamax quay cranes, all of them capable of servicing ultra-large container vessels, 48 ASCs and 26 shuttle carriers operating along a berth line of 1,500 metres with a draft of 16.5m.

    This record is aligned with the Port of Barcelona’s container volume growth of 33% up to November 2017.

    Hutchison Ports, BEST (Barcelona Europe South Terminal) is the first semi-automated terminal in the Hutchison Ports Group.
