    Wind components will be exported to Peru

    Siemens Energy has secured nearly US$65 million in financing from the U.S. Export-Import Bank to manufacture wind turbine nacelles and blades for a project in Peru.

    The wind turbines will be installed at the Marcona wind farm and the Tres Hermanas wind project in southern Peru for a combined generating capacity of 129 megawatts. The nacelles will be made at Siemens’ plant in Hutchinson, Kan., while the blades will be manufactured in Fort Madison, Iowa.

    The financing represents Ex-Im Bank’s first renewable-energy transactions in Peru, the bank said in a statement.

    “These transactions reflect our continued commitment to increasing U.S. renewable energy exports while supporting good-paying jobs here at home,” said Ex-Im Bank chairman and president Fred P. Hochberg.

    In fiscal year 2013, Ex-Im Bank authorized US$257 million to support renewable energy exports, primarily to Central and Latin America. The news comes at a time when the future of the ExIm Bank is uncertain. Legislators will vote on its reauthorization at the end of September.

    THE world's biggest and second biggest shipping lines, Maersk and MSC, have sought permission from the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to form a vessel sharing agreement called the 2M. Copenhagen's Maersk Line and Geneva's Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), have submitted their 10-year agreement proposal to the Washington regulatory agency.

    The FMC allowed the more ambitious P3 alliance, a union of the top three shipping lines that included CMA CGM, but this was rejected by Chinese regulatory authorities as having too much market share.
    Washington has 45 days to review the new proposal, though procedings can be suspended if the FMC wants additional information. The new arrangement is a standard vessel sharing agreement, unlike P3, which looked more like a merger to Chinese regulators despite protestations from the participants. In the 2M case, the European Commission and China’s Ministry of Transport will be notified, but do not have to give official clearance to a vessel sharing agreement, which like an airline code share, has independent and rival sales teams selling space of their own and on each other's conveyances.

    The document submitted to the FMC covers ports in the northern Europe-Gibraltar range, plus the Med to the US Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, along with ports in Mexico, Canada, Panama, the Bahamas and Asia to the US.
    2M covers Asia-Europe routes but this is of no concern to the FMC. With US trades, 2M parties can discuss and agree on the size, number and types of vessels. They plan to operate 97 ships in US trades ranging from 4,000 to 13,000 TEU.

    DENMARK's Maersk Line has taken delivery of the Merete Maersk, the 11th 18,270-TEU ship that are being built at the Daewoo shipyard (DSME) in South Korea.

    Ordered in 2011, the ship is joining the shipping line's Asia-Europe (AE-10) service, replacing the 15,550-TEU Edith Maersk, which is to operate Maersk's Far East to Europe loop (AE-2).

    The Edith Maersk will replace the 8,400-TEU Maersk Saigon, the last of the smaller ships on the AE-2, which will henceforth be run with 11 vessels of 13,000-15,500 TEU, reported Alphaliner.

    The Merete Maersk follows the Mayview Maersk, delivered in July. The 12th unit in the series, Mogens Maersk, is scheduled for delivery in mid-September, after which the AE-10 will deploy a full fleet of 18,270 TEU ships.

    The last eight Triple E class ships are scheduled for delivery in September 2015.

    Alstom and Brazilian engineering and construction company Andrade Gutierrez have formed a joint venture to make steel towers for wind turbines.

    The pair will build the new plant in Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia, in Jacobina, a city 350 kilometers from Salvador, the French power equipment manufacturer said in a statement. Each company will contribute about half of the capital needed for the project, which is expected to cost US$106 million. Andrade Gutierrez will be the majority shareholder with 51 percent of the new venture.

    Production at the new plant will begin this year with the capacity to manufacture 200 towers each full year.

    This is Alstom’s second plant in Bahia ‒ the first facility makes nacelles for wind turbines ‒ and its third in Brazil. Alstom operates another wind tower factory in Rio Grande do Sul. Around 80 percent of the national wind farms are in the northeast region of the country.

    Brazil has adopted strict terms for developers who want to build wind farms. To qualify for reasonable financing through the Brazil’s Development Bank (BNDES), 60 percent of the components for wind turbines must be manufactured within the country.

    Replica lifted 150 feet in the air at NASA Space Center in Houston

    Mammoet lifted a replica of space shuttle Independence onto the original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft at NASA Space Center in Houston. Thousands of visitors to the center watched as Mammoet’s 250-foot-tall crane lifted the 122-foot-long space shuttle into the air undefined reaching a height of 150 feet, equivalent to a three-story building, Mammoet said in a statement.

    “The lift was challenging because of the awkward weight distribution of the replica and the safety concerns for the thousands of spectators,” Pierre Mille, Mammoet USA’s sales manager, said. “A space shuttle, even a replica, is designed to go straight, so it catches a lot of wind when lifted sideways.” The lift to the crown of the 63-foot the aircraft, a Boeing 747, took about 40 minutes. Mammoet carefully lowered the replica onto a 15-inch concrete foundation.

    The crane was assembled at the site a week in advance. It took a day-and-a-half to assemble the crane and the same amount of time to disassemble it after the lift was completed.
