Antwerp's cargo throughput in the first quarter increased by 1.5 per cent year on year to 54.3 million tons, while container volume rose 0.7 per cent to 2.48 million TEU.

CEO Jacques Vermeiren was quoted as saying in an American Shipper report: "Since the first half of last year experienced better performance than the second half, it is important to see the volumes continuing to steadily increase in the container segment. This positive trend confirms the demand for additional container capacity in the Antwerp port area."

The roll-on/roll off sector experienced a 5.3 per cent year-on-year increase in the first quarter, finishing out at 1.2 million tons, with the number of cars handled up 2.8 per cent to 316,988 units.

Breakbulk volumes for the quarter jumped 8.3 per cent thanks to the influx of steel, which in itself was up 14.7 per cent. Dry bulk grew by 6.7 per cent to 3.2 million tons on the back of higher imports of ore and coal.

The Russian state-owned shipping company Sovcomflot has chosen Winterthur Gas & Diesel’s (WinGD) low-speed dual-fuel engines with X-DF low-pressure gas admission to propel the first ever gas-fuelled Aframax crude oil tankers.

Under a contract signed in March 2017, SCF Group’s series of four LNG-fuelled ships will be propelled by seven-cylinder, 62 cm bore type 7X62DF engines from WinGD’s X-generation.
Featuring 114,000 dwt, the Ice-Class IA tankers will be built by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) at its Samho shipyard, while the 7X62DF engines will be built by HHI’s Engine & Machinery Division (HHI-EMD) in Ulsan.

The 7X62DF engines are rated 13,800 kW at 86 rpm and designed to operate on a choice of LNG, HFO, distillate or hybrid liquid fuels. They will comply with IMO Tier III limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in their gas fuel mode, and with IMO Tier II when burning liquid fuel. To enable IMO Tier III compliance on liquid fuel operating mode, the contract also specifies the supply of low-pressure selective catalytic reduction (SCR) after treatment systems for the 7X62DF engine, according to WinGD.

SCF’s LNG-fuelled Aframax crude oil tankers, which will be 250 meters long and 44 meters wide, are scheduled to operate primarily in the Baltic and North Seas.

The first vessels from the batch are expected to be delivered from the third quarter of 2018.

Lithuanian operator of oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals AB Klaipėdos Nafta (KN) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Belgium’s Fluxys to collaborate on the development of small-scale LNG projects and infrastructure in Europe.

‘The memorandum will enable the companies to be more pro-active both in the Baltic Sea Region and beyond. Klaipėda will become an active LNG distribution centre in the LNG supply chain in the Nordic countries and Europe as a whole,” said Lithuanian Minister of Energy Žygimantas Vaičiūnas.

As highlighted by Mindaugas Jusius, CEO of KN, Belgium is very advanced in the field of LNG and the Zeebrugge LNG terminal has developed into a first-mover LNG distribution hub.

“Belgium‘s experience is very valuable for the implementation of a small-scale terminal in Klaipėda as an efficient LNG hub performing regional functions, as a number of key elements – the port LNG infrastructure, the mainland LNG infrastructure and the market have to be linked together into a cohesive system,” the company said.

The MoU was signed as part of a visit of a Lithuanian energy delegation to Fluxys’ Zeebrugge LNG terminal and its small-scale LNG facilities in Belgium.
