    Danish shipping and logistics company DFDS has signed a strategic partnership with Belgium-based Ghent Port Company as the shipping firm aims to strengthen its position in the port of Ghent.

    Namely, DFDS has decided to increase the number of ro/ro freight sailings between Ghent and Gothenburg and strengthen its hinterland anchoring by transporting containers in a fixed schedule three times per week aboard inland vessels in the direction of Antwerp and Rotterdam.

    Utilizing three ships, DFDS is currently offering six sailings a week on its freight route between Ghent and Gothenburg. During the summer of 2017, the company will add its vessel Ark Germania as the fourth ship on the route, increasing the number of weekly departures from six to eight.

    In 2016, the Ghent-Gothenburg service, which also calls at Brevik in Norway once a week, catered for the transport of 2.1 million tonnes of goods, the second highest volume ever.

    Furthermore, DFDS is expanding its activities in Ghent port with a fixed schedule of three sailings per week for containers on inland vessels. The barges are loaded at the multimodal terminal located at the Mercatordok. From there, a regular container line will be set up between Ghent and the ports of Zeeland Seaports, Rotterdam and Antwerp.

    The world’s largest containership MOL Triumph, freshly delivered to Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) earlier this week, is gearing up for its debut in THE Alliance’s Asia-Europe trade in April.

    The giant boxship was delivered from South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) on March 27.

    On the occasion of the ship’s delivery, Junichiro Ikeda, President and CEO of MOL, commented: “The MOL Group is honored to unveil this new vessel, which is the largest containership in the world. The vessel is equipped with various new sustainable technologies to provide more efficient fuel consumption and improved environmental performance.”

    To be deployed in THE Alliance’s FE2 service, MOL Triumph will start its maiden voyage from Xingang and sail to Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Yantian and Singapore. The ship will then transit through the Suez Canal and visit Tangier, Southampton, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Le Havre, before calling at Tangier and Jebel Ali on the way back to Asia.

    The 20,150 TEU MOL Triumph, which is 400 meters long and 58.8 meters wide, was named at SHI shipyard in Geoje on March 15.

    The newbuilding is the first of four 20,150 TEU containerships ordered by MOL in February 2015. The four ultra large container vessels (ULCVs) were ordered as part of a deal for construction of six 20,000 TEU containerships.

    The second ship from the batch is expected to be delivered to MOL in May. The remaining boxships will also be deployed on the Asia-North Europe route.

    The Alliance, which comprises Hapag-Lloyd, K Line, MOL, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) and Yang Ming, plans to deploy more than 240 ships in 32 services connecting over 75 major ports throughout Asia, North Europe, the Mediterranean, North America, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East.

    US-based shipping firm Bermuda Container Line (BCL) has signed a contract to have a new, custom, container vessel built to service Bermuda.

    The new ship is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2019, at which time BCL’s current container vessel, the 1990-built Oleander, will be retired.

    BCL said that the new containership will be the most technologically-advanced vessel serving Bermuda.

    The new ship will be outfitted to carry dry and refrigerated containers, trucks, cars and other wheeled equipment, along with over-sized project cargo. It will also be equipped with fuel-efficient main and auxiliary engines as well as leading-edge loading and cargo carrying capability.

    Additionally, the new ship will incorporate the capability to convert to liquid natural gas (LNG) operation.

    “In order to continue to meet the demands of today’s market and to maintain the fast, efficient service for which BCL is known, we needed to execute a plan to bring online an updated, upgraded vessel,” John Wight, Chairman of the Board of BCL, said.

    Israeli container carrier Zim Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM) has added the Port of Wilmington to its Z7S service, North Carolina Ports said.

    The weekly service is scheduled to start calling the port in June and connects South China, South East Asia and the Indian sub-continent to the US East Coast main ports.

    The Z7S service is the first container service to call the Port of Wilmington using the Suez Canal, according to North Carolina Ports. Its rotation includes access to Da Chan Bay, Yantian, Cai Mep, Port Kelang and Colombo.

    The shipping firm plans to deploy eleven 5,000 TEU vessels in the service.

    ZIM is another returning ocean carrier to the Port of Wilmington after a slot chartering agreement with the CKYHE Alliance in early 2016.

    To prepare for growth, North Carolina Ports ordered in January this year two New Panamax ship-to-shore cranes with an option to purchase two more from China’s Shanghai Zhenjua Heavy Industry (ZPMC) for the Port of Wilmington.

    North Carolina Ports plans to invest over USD 120 million in its infrastructure over the next few years. The projects include the turning basin expansion, berth improvements, the expansion of the container yard and the addition of new cranes.
