  • Indonesia Bins Cilamaya Port Project

    03 Apr 2015 2:47 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 03 April, 2015

    The Indonesian government has crossed out the project to build Cilamaya port in Karawang district, West Java province, as it plans to move the new port further east in search of clear shipping lanes not obstructed by offshore platforms, as is the case with the initial location, the local Antara News reports.

    Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs Indroyono Susilo said that the government is still looking for a new location eastward from Cilamaya waters, which is dotted with around 80 offshore platforms.
    Indroyono said that the primary goal now is to find a ten-kilometer-wide line offering safe passage for commercial vessels.

    The government plans to perform a new feasibility study for the new port which, according to Indroyono, should be operational by 2020, and help alleviate congestion at Jakarta’s Tanjung Priok port.

  • Port of Mobile Unveils New Steel Facility

    01 Apr 2015 2:19 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 31 March, 2015

    The Alabama State Port Authority and Alabama Steel Terminals today [March 31] dedicated a new US$36 million steel coil handling facility at the Port of Mobile. Located on the Alabama State Port Authority’s main docks complex, the new rail, truck and barge served facility was constructed behind ASPA’s Pier D2 berth on a 40-foot deep channel.

    Alabama Steel Terminals is a joint venture between TriState Maritime Services and the Richardson Group of Companies. Alabama Steel Terminals will operate and manage the terminal.

    “We are pleased to have delivered the most technologically advanced steel handling facility in the nation to better complement the port’s existing portfolio of steel terminal facilities,” James K. Lyons, chief executive of the Alabama State Port Authority, said.

    Lyons said the AST project is strategic to expanding the port’s steel handling capabilities. The Port of Mobile is currently the second largest steel handling port in the nation with just over 5 million tons handled in fiscal year 2014.

    Alabama Steel Terminals provides 178,200 square feet of covered bay area equipped with three 50-ton-capacity overhead bridge cranes and 168,000 square feet of open storage yard handling an estimated 700,000 tons of steel annually. At full build out, Alabama Steel Terminals would add 194,400 square feet bay area equipped with three additional (50) ton capacity overhead bridge cranes.

    The Alabama State Port Authority owns and operates the State of Alabama’s public, deep-water port facilities at the Port of Mobile. The Authority’s container, general cargo and bulk facilities have immediate access to two interstate systems, five Class 1 railroads, and nearly 15,000 miles of inland waterway connections.

  • CSDC Poised for More Bulker Orders

    30 Mar 2015 2:40 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 30 March, 2015

    Shanghai and Hong Kong-listed China Shipping Development Co (CSDC) said that the plans for ordering three 6,600 dwt bulkers at an undisclosed compatriot shipyard have been approved by the company’s board.

    The order is to be placed through the company’s 51% owned subsidiary, Jinghai Shipping, the company said in a filing to Shanghai Stock Exchange.

    CSDC added that it plans to expand its fleet with a total of up to eight bulkers in 2015. The shipping company has already ordered four Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) worth USD 375.9 million this February at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DISC). The four 308,000 DWT carriers are expected to start delivery in May 2017.

    CSDC posted a profit of CNY 309 million (USD 49.6 million) for 2014, recovering from a loss of CNY 2.23 billion recorded in 2013.

    The company’s revenue amounted to CNY 12.27 billion, an 8.2% increase when compared to the figures from the same period in the preceding year.

    The shipping company attributed the positive results to ”the increase in freight rates in the international oil transportation market, and efforts made by the group to further strengthen its control over costs.”

  • Breakbulk Cargo Boosts Volumes at Port of New Orleans

    27 Mar 2015 12:02 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 27 March, 2015

    The Port of New Orleans saw nearly 8.4 million tons of cargo in 2014, the highest annual total since 2000 and a 28 percent hike over 2013 volumes.

    “It was a busy year for the port, and these numbers reflect the success we’ve realized from the combined efforts of the entire port community,” Gary LaGrange, port president and CEO, said in a statement. “The challenge now is to build upon these successes and continue to grow.”

    Imported iron and steel led the surge, totaling 3.5 million tons in 2014 — a whopping 102 percent increase over the previous year. Breakbulk cargo rose 52 percent from 2013’s total to reach nearly 3.8 million tons.

    LaGrange said he expects 2015’s cargo figures will be better because of the thriving chemical industry and new shippers, such as Chiquita Brands International, which returned to New Orleans in October.

  • Rio Toasts “Port of the Future”

    25 Mar 2015 4:25 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 24 March, 2015

    Rio de Janeiro’s leading breakbulk terminals saw the first phase of a Reais1.8 billion (US$557 million) expansion scheme inaugurated by Brazil President Dilma Rousseff at the city’s Caju quayside.

    Rousseff, whose second term as president is under fire for wrongdoing at state-controlled oil and transport company Petrobras, officiated at the opening of the newly extended 1.86-kilometer quay for the MultiCar car terminal and MultiRio (both part of the Multiterminais holding group) along with the neighboring LibraRio container terminal. The new quay is believed to be the longest continuous quay in South America.

    MultiRio is a project cargo and container facility, and handles around 95 percent of all project cargo in/out of Rio de Janeiro, including heavy machinery for the Comperj refinery the other side of Guanabara Bay and for projects related to last year’s soccer world cup and next year’s Rio Olympics.

    The three complexes together have been christened Porto do Futuro (Port of The Future) and a new link road and tunnel will be built to move cargoes directly from the Caju area to Avenida Brasil, thereby reducing congestion in the centre of Rio de Janeiro.

    Luiz Carneiro, president of MultiCar and MultiRio, said MultiRio now has 1 million TEUs of annual capacity, up from 670,000 TEUs prior to the Porto do Futuro expansion.

    The pier extension added 800 meters to MultiRio and up to 260 meters for MultiCar plus an additional 15 meters using dolphins. Additional equipment includes bring ship-to-shore gantry cranes from five to nine, and adding 28 rubber-tired gantries. A new dredging contract signed by the Special Ports Ministry (SEP) will improve the minimum draft for the three terminals to 15 meters, from 13 meters currently, by the end of next year. Future plans would deepen draft to 17 meters.

    The expansion will see Multi-Car eventually increase its annual capacity 36 percent to 326,000 vehicles. The vehicle terminal has already seen a number of modifications including the addition of covered parking for 7,000 vehicles.

    “Over the last decade, we have seen an increase in the size of ships at an unprecedented pace, all seeking economies of scale,” Carneiro said at the ceremony for the expansion. “As the vessel sizes grew, we were gradually losing the ability to operate two ships simultaneously. If nothing was done, we would have lost about one-third of our installed capacity, along with the ability to provide an efficient and competitive service, since international best practice dictates a container terminal must have a minimum of two berths.”

  • Olympia boosted by crane purchase

    23 Mar 2015 2:44 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 23 March, 2015

    The crane, which can lift 140 tonnes at 11 m outreach, arrived from Antwerp earlier this month onboard Grieg Star's vessel Star Louisiana, and was unloaded by International Longshore & Warehouse Union Local 47 before being reassembled by Marine Technical Services. Electrical and engine adjustments are now underway.

    "We are already marketing the port for new lines of business that we were not able to pursue before the addition of this crane," said Len Faucher, marine terminal director.

    "This crane is a modern cargo handling solution that should help keep Port of Olympia competitive with its market contemporaries. It enables us to enter the heavy lift market and be ready for potential imports and exports."

    The Port anticipates paying USD3.2 million for the crane, including disassembly, shipping, reassembly and commissioning and says that this is almost USD2 million less than the cost of a new version of the same model.
