Greek shipowner Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis teamed up with two unidentified global investors to venture into dry-bulk shipping.

As informed, the parties have formed a joint venture vehicle, Ivy Shipping LLC, its primary purpose being investment in Supramax and Panamax dry bulk carriers.

Four Japanese-built Supramaxes have been purchased for the purpose and are expected to be delivered by the end of summer 2017.

Once delivered, the ships will be managed by Marla Shipmanagement Ltd, a company owned by Kassidokostas-Latsis.

Ivy Shipping will be monitoring developments on the market to further expand the fleet by the end of the year, availing of attractive second-hand prices.

Kassidokostas-Latsis, who is the director at Athens-headquartered Latsco Shipping which owns VLGCs and MR product carriers, voiced his optimism about the joint venture and its prosperous future amid expected recovery of the dry-bulk market.

Based on the data from VesselsValue, Ivy Shipping currently has two live Supramax bulkers of 55,9000 DWT, built in 2011 by Japan’s Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, Ivy Alliance, and Ivy Blue.

They are valued at around USD 15 million each.

Dynamic Rigging Hire (DRH) has supplied the rigging equipment, including a 25-tonne capacity wireless load shackle from Straightpoint, for the removal of a large hydraulic cylinder at a Melbourne Water sewer pump station in Australia.

The Straightpoint wireless load shackle and a handheld monitoring device monitored the weight of the cylinder as it was lifted from the floor of a deep shaft in the centre of the pump station.

 Ross Johnson, general manager at DRH, explained that the wireless load shackle was required to confirm the weight of the load to ensure it did not exceed the capacity of the rigging gear and cranes.

 The contractor utilised a 55-tonne capacity overhead crane and a 25-tonne capacity mobile crane to lift the cylinder, which weighed approximately 23 tonnes. Each crane was connected to the load at two pick points.

 The overhead crane was rigged with chain slings that connected at either side of one end of the cylinder frame as it was lifted vertically. Meanwhile, the mobile crane, rigged with the same type of chain and longer, synthetic slings, lifted from the bottom as it was raised beyond the level of the shaft entrance.

 Another two hydraulic cylinders, each weighing 13 tonnes, will be removed at a later date.

 DRH provides a range of rigging, hoisting and load measurement equipment across Australia for construction, engineering, manufacturing, offshore and service projects.

SPAIN's Valencia Port Authority (APV) plans to deepen its existing quays to handle containerships of up to 20,000 TEU. The spoil recovered from the dredging works will be used as infill material for Phase I of the new northern container terminal.

The work on both projects, which will cost EUR5.2 million (US$6.11 million), is expected to be completed in mid-2018, reported Port Strategy.

Draft deepening work is currently underway at Levante Quay, where the existing 15.2 metres is being increased to 17 metres.

APV is investing a total of EUR18 million to enable all three of its container terminals to handle such ultra large containerships. The draft alongside is being deepened to a depth of 17-18 metres.

Once work is completed, the port will have 1,900 metres of berthing line capable of accommodating 20,000 TEU vessels at the Levante, Transversal de Costa and Principe Felipe quays. This will allow up to four of these vessels to be handled simultaneously in the port.

Forecasts for the end of the year are very positive, due in part to the progression of first-half traffic and to the launch of new services by MSC. The shipping line will provide five new sea lines connecting Barcelona with strategic destinations such as India, the United States, Canada and Brazil.

“With thousands of direct jobs and nearly 130,000 jobs in Maryland that are connected to the Port, our administration remains committed to the Port’s continued success,” said Larry Hogan, Governor.

The general cargo record of more than one million tonnes was also an 11 percent increase from May 2016. General cargo includes cars, containers, farm and construction machinery, breakbulk and forest products (rolled paper and wood pulp).

The ranking comes on the heels of several other achievements and a record-setting 2016, in which the Port’s public marine terminals surpassed 10 million tonnes of general cargo for the first time and handled a record number of containers, 538,567. The momentum from 2016 continued into 2017 with the Port coming out of the gate in January with a record month for general cargo and container tonnes. The Port’s strong performance continued as it recently announced a record first quarter for general cargo tonnage.

Containers are currently up 10 percent year over year at the Port of Baltimore. The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Port Administration (MDOT MPA) recently announced the purchase of 70 acres of land near the Seagirt Marine Terminal that will be used for additional cargo opportunities including containers.

Business at the Port of Baltimore generates about 13,650 direct jobs, while more than 127,000 jobs in Maryland are linked to port activities.
