    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.

    For the first time, the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore’s public marine terminals surpassed one million tonnes of general cargo in one month, handling a total of 1,007,704 tonnes in May and leapfrogging past the previous record of 923,030 tonnes set in January. The North America port also set a record by handling 86,403 TEU (20-foot long) containers in May.


    “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.

    Malaysia’s MISC Berhad (MISC) took delivery of the third in a series of five Moss-Type Seri-C Class liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, Seri Cempaka, on July 27.

    Featuring 150,200 cbm, the new LNG carrier was constructed by South Korea’s shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and benefits from an Integrated Hull Structure (IHS) with four spherical tanks shielded by a continuous cover, fortifying the vessel to allow for operation in the harshest marine environments.

    The Malaysian-flagged Seri Cempaka joins its sister Moss-Type newbuilds Seri Cenderawasih and Seri Camellia on long-term charter to oil and gas company Petronas.

    The newbuilds are part of MISC’s long term fleet expansion programme and have been designed for worldwide trading capability to enable them to call at 80 LNG receiving terminals and 26 liquefaction terminals in operation worldwide.

    Along with the unique integrated hull design, the Moss-Type vessels have been designed to minimise hull resistance, increase propulsion efficiency, reduce power requirements, and reduce CO2 emissions.

    The delivery of Seri Cempaka brings the current number of MISC’s LNG fleet to 27 vessels. A further two Moss-Type Seri C Class vessels are under construction in South Korea.

    The Port of Felixstowe has ordered two new gantry cranes for its Berths 8&9 and work has started to raise 10 of the existing cranes on Trinity Terminal at the port.

    The new cranes, ordered from ZPMC in Shanghai, will bring to 12 the number on the port’s newest terminal. They will have a 70m outreach from the waterside leg and a lift height above rail of 50.5m, on a rail span of 35m. This allows them to handle future generations of container vessels with containers stowed up to 24-wide across the deck.

    The maximum operating height of 10 of the cranes on Trinity Terminal, also built by ZPMC, will be increased to 46.5M by raising these cranes. The greater height will allow them to work vessels with containers stowed up to 11 high on deck unrestricted under all tidal conditions.

    Commenting on the project, Clemence Cheng, Executive Director, Hutchison Ports, said: “Last year we had 137 calls by vessels of over 18,000 TEU last year. Increasing the total number of cranes on the port and increasing the height of 10 cranes on Trinity Terminal will give us greater flexibility to accommodate the largest categories of ship size. In total, we will have 22 cranes capable of handling the largest container vessels in service.”

    Delivery of the new cranes is scheduled for February 2018. The contract to raise the height of the Trinity Terminal cranes has been let to ZPMC’s Dutch subsidiary, ZPMC Netherlands BV. Work is due to be completed in December 2018.

    PEEL Ports Group, owner of the Port of Liverpool, has commenced the second phase of its expansion programme at Liverpool2, the company announced.

    The company is to invest in equipment and port infrastructure works to expand the terminal and introduce further leading edge port technology solutions, said the press release.

    This includes the installation of a further three ship-to-shore cranes and 10 cantilever rail mounted gantry cranes.

    "These will add to the previous five STS cranes and 12 CRMG cranes installed as part of Phase 1 which was opened in November last year. Liverpool2 will have the capacity to manage the unloading of two 380-metre vessels simultaneously," said the company statement.

    There will also be additional reefer points installed to allow the terminal to handle even greater quantities of refrigerated containers at the Port of Liverpool.

    "The world class facilities will allow us to capture and grow a greater share of the container market, offering cargo owners in the north a more competitive route to market, getting their goods closer to their end destination," said Peel Ports CEO Mark Whitworth.

    "We are in a good place in our discussions with shipping lines; there are more opportunities on the horizon at the Port and our confidence is high as a result." Mr Whitworth said.

    Peel Ports has secured 200 signatories for its Cargo200 initiative - calling on shippers whose goods are destined for the North of England to switch from south-east ports to cut inland freight mileage 200 million miles by 2020.

    Launched in November 2016, Liverpool2 represents a GBP400 million (US$521.2 million) investment that provides a state-of-the-art ocean gateway for international trade to and from the UK.

    The deep water facility is capable of accommodating the world's largest containerships and connects road, rail and canal networks linking directly to the heart of the British mainland, accessing a catchment of over 35 million people, 58 per cent of the UK's population.

    The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) is preparing to welcome the latest generation of mega container ships as it continues with its investment and modernization plans.

    Namely, the Authority said that it would invest up to EUR 18 million to increase the maximum depth at its three terminals to 17 and 18 meters in an effort to accommodate 20,000 TEU-ships.

    Expected to be finalized by the summer of 2018, the upgrades would include removing up to 690,000 m3 from the sites. The extracted land would be used in the phase 1 landfill of the new container terminal that will be located in the northern extension of the port of Valencia.

    When completed, the upgraded port is set to feature 1,900 meters of dock and be capable of accommodating up to four mega container ships at the same time.

    Furthermore, Spain’s port and logistic company Noatum said that it would increase Valencia’s operative capabilities with the delivery of new cranes, a part of an investment plan in excess of EUR 100 million in Noatum Container Terminal Valencia.

    The first step was the commissioning of a new Malaccamax crane, which is already fully operative. This investment will be completed with the enlargement of up to 4 cranes.

    “This, together with the works undertaken by the Port Authority of Valencia to improve the port infrastructure, will turn the port of Valencia into the reference hub for mega vessels in the Mediterranean,” Douglas Schultz, CEO of Noatum, said.
