SHENZHEN's China International Marine Containers (CIMC), the world's biggest box maker, posted a 66 per cent year-on-year net profit increase to US$265 million, drawn on revenues of $8 billion, up 20.3 per cent.

Hong Kong-listed CMIC reported a 38 per cent year-on-year increase in third quarter net profit to $55.1 million, according to a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange. CIMC said it sold 22.7 per cent more dry containers aggregating to 1.06 million TEU with reefer boxes accounting for 96,000 TEU, up 28.69 per cent year on year. CIMC truck revenues were up 9.1 per cent to $1.73 million with 87,300 units sold, a year-on-year increase of 10.93 per cent. "In the first three quarters of 2014, the import and export performance of China’s foreign trade has been improving quarter by quarter," the company statement said.

CIMC said it is upgrading factories that make standard dry containers and has built two cold chain industry parks at Qingdao and Taicang that went into production in the first half. The company now provides cold chain logistics, making and designing equipment, as well as offering port container services and logistics finance. The company attributed its good results to the continuing recovery of the American and European economies driving renewed demand for containers. Growth in the oil and gas sector also helped.

CIMC is 17 per cent held by Cosco Container Industries and is involved in manufacturing drilling platforms, engineering equipment, airport facilities and property development. The US Government is conducting an anti-dumping investigation into CIMC's export of 53-foot boxes, mostly used in America, but "as the revenue generated by 53-foot dry cargo containers only takes up a small portion of the group's total, it is expected that the investigation will not have a significant impact on financial conditions".

Euroports Inland Terminals, the inland terminal operator with several locations in the Liège and Charleroi area, has successfully branched out its activities towards new customers handling and processing general cargo, polluted soils, waste, minerals and biomass sectors. EIT is dedicated to invest in its capabilities and equipment to obtain the necessary permits to support its further growth in these markets. This investment program is ongoing and will continue in 2015. Traditionally, Euroports Inland Terminals has specialized in supporting main industry / heavy industry players in the region with port handling, storage and transport services. The products EIT handled were predominantly dry bulk minerals and raw materials used in the many surrounding production sites. During the past several years, many new business opportunities for other commodities have emerged for the terminals in Loën, Ile Monsin, Renory, and Seraing (Liège area) and Couillet (Charleroi area).

“Our visibility in the region as a reliable supply chain partner in handling bulk products for the local industry resulted in business opportunities in industries such as polluted soils, waste products, de-icing salt, biomass and even general cargo such as pallets/palletized products,” said Muriel Baugnée, Euroports Inland Terminals’ managing director. EIT brings tailor-made and dedicated customer solutions based on the specific logistics requirements. “We combine our barge transport, freight forwarding, road transport and port handling services all into one supply chain solution supporting our clients’ inbound and outbound traffics,” Baugnée said. “Through the wider Euroports network we also assure the connection to deep-sea ports.” A good example of EIT’s showcase-model reconversion is the starting business relationship with AB Inbev/Jupiler. In collaboration with André CELIS and AB InBev, Euroports Inland Terminals succeeded in providing the best, lean and green solution to both companies. This resulted in a significant CO2-emission reduction for AB Inbev’s logistics flows which also brings a decrease of their carbon footprint.

After loading pallets on a dedicated and André CELIS-managed barge in Louvain, the cargo arrived in Liège where it was discharged at Euroports Inland Terminals’ Monsin facilities. Pallets were then loaded on AB InBev trucks for a last-mile delivery to the customer’s Jupille plant.

Boeing and Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China (COMAC) together opened a demonstration facility that will turn waste cooking oil, commonly referred to as “gutter oil” in China, into sustainable aviation biofuel. Ian Thomas, President, Boeing China said, “Strong and continuing teamwork between Boeing and COMAC is helping our industry make progress on environmental challenges that no single company or country can solve alone, by working together for mutual benefit, we are finding innovative ways to support China’s aviation industry and build a sustainable future.”

The two companies are sponsoring the facility, which is called the China-U.S. Aviation Biofuel Pilot Project. It will use a technology developed by Hangzhou Energy & Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (HEET) to clean contaminants from waste oils and convert it into jet fuel at a rate of 160 gallons (650 liters) per day. The project’s goal is to assess the technical feasibility and cost of producing higher volumes of biofuel.

“We are very happy to see the progress that has been made in the collaboration between Boeing and COMAC, especially the achievement in aviation biofuel technology,” said Dr. Guangqiu Wang, Vice President of COMAC’s Beijing Aeronautical Science & Technology Research Institute. “We will continue to work with Boeing in energy conservation and emissions reduction areas to promote the sustainable development of the aviation industry.” he adds.

A SECOND German-made Liebherr LHM 550 mobile harbour crane is in operation at New Zealand's most southerly box port, joining another that's been in service since 2010, reports the Otago Daily Times, serving the Dunedin area on New Zealand's South Island. South Port NZ Ltd (South Port), located at Bluff, will be used for container handling for Mediterranean Shipping Co, the harbour's biggest customer.

"Six or seven years ago we were handling 8,000-10,000 TEU annually. Last financial year that was up to 32,000 TEU and we are expecting that to increase again in the next 12 months," said South Port cargo chief Geoff Finnerty.

South Port offers a comprehensive service portfolio. A projected containerised cargo increase over the next five years in the southern region called for additional state-of-the-art cargo handling equipment. Growth in agricultural products, most dairy and food, made a second crane was a must, said the company. Said Mr Finnerty: "We have worked with Liebherr since 1995, so a good partnership has evolved.? The crane comes with a twin-lift spreader and tower extension, giving a cabin height of around 29 metres.

"Most of the MSC vessels enter the port light meaning they are high in the water, so the additional height of the cabin and boom pivot were essential components of the order," Mr Finnerty said. There was the 115-tonne undercarriage with its 72 truck wheels and its four stabilisers; the slew housing which contains the winch, engine and other machinery; the 75-tonne tower and the boom. The investment was necessary to cope with increasing cargo volumes and to potentially double container handling capacity over the next five years, Mr Finnerty said.
