  • New Vessel Multiplies HHI Module Lifting Capacity

    02 Mar 2015 2:34 PM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 02 March, 2015

    Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries has completed a 10,000-ton heavy-lift vessel , the Hyundai-10000, at its shipyard in Yeongam, South Korea, for affiliate Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The new crane vessel will be used by affiliate Hyundai Heavy Industries for installing offshore oil & gas modules.

    With the addition of the vessel, HHI’s maximum lifting capacity per module will increase more than six-fold from 1,200 tons to 8,000 tons. This means HHI can install bigger modularized blocks built on-ground onto offshore facilities and minimize the potential risks of working at height, HHI said in a statement.

    After a series of final tests, the Hyundai-10000 will join HHI’s existing offshore facility-building infrastructure in Ulsan in March and begin operation in April. It is already scheduled for work on 19 offshore projects, including Q204 FPSO for BP.

    The vessel is equipped with eight double truss jib cranes, measuring 182 meters long, 70 meters wide and 11 meters high.

    Original news was published on 23 February, 2015

    Multipurpose shipping line Safmarine MPV has upgraded its service between South Africa and West Africa from once every six weeks to monthly sailings.

    The change will allow the company and shippers to capitalize on Africa’s growing trade sectors, such as infrastructure, mining and energy.

    Along with more frequent service, Safmarine MPV will offer additional port calls. “The increased deployment allows us to provide the trade with both higher frequency and regularity, as well as more extensive port coverage through inducement into the Central West Africa port range (Cameroon to Ivory Coast),” the carrier said in a statement.

    Core ports of call on the SAFWAF service are Walvis Bay, Durban, Cape Town, Sonils (Luanda), Matadi, Pointe Noire and Port Gentil.

    The service upgrade begins in early April 2015 with the Safmarine Longa Voyage SA 15002.

  • South Carolina adds BBC link

    Original news was published on 19 February, 2015

    In January, Charleston handled 65,153 tonnes of breakbulk cargo, slightly above plan for the fiscal year. The port of Georgetown handled 14,933 tonnes, bringing the facility's fiscal year gains to 15 percent ahead of forecasts.

    Meanwhile, heavy lift shipping line BBC Chartering revealed it will launched a new monthly breakbulk service connecting the Port of Charleston with the Chinese and Japanese markets. The South Carolina Ports Authority said the service would support strong market demand in North America for delivery of breakbulk cargo manufactured in China, Korea and Japan, as well as offer export opportunities from Charleston to Asia. Vessels in this service, which serves the ports of Shanghai, Masan, Kobe and Yokohama, will call the Columbus Street Terminal.

    "Charleston has become a very important hub for BBC, both for imports and exports, and the Columbus Street Terminal is a first class facility for moving specialised breakbulk cargo," said Per Petersen, BBC Chartering USA president. "The port offers great connections to the backcountry both by rail and truck, with clearance necessary for transporting the complex cargos being moved in and out of the port. We have enjoyed great cooperation with SCPA personnel in order to meet BBC's needs. We expect strength in this trade lane for years to come and look forward to expanding our services in and out of the region."

  • Volumes up at north German ports

    Original news was published on 18 February, 2015

    The port marketing organisation said that the handling and storage of wind energy components, forest products and automobiles, as well as agricultural products, made a positive contribution to the results.

    A decline in the number of containers handled contributed to a two percent reduction in the tonnage of general cargoes handled to 7.05 million tonnes.

    Inke Onnen-Lübben, managing director of the Seaports of Niedersachsen: "In value-added business areas such as the handling and storage of over dimensional products, agricultural products and project cargoes, we see good developments in several locations."

    An official statement released by Seaports of Niedersachsen revealed that around EUR65 million was invested last year by the handling companies and local industry in the nine seaports.

    HLPFI understands that investment of a further EUR80 million is planned this year in expanding and maintaining the state's seaports. Projects are being prepared and implemented in the ports of Brake, Cuxhaven, Emden and Wilhelmshaven.
