ABL donates IT equipment to local school

Comments Off on ABL donates IT equipment to local school

ABL, the independent global energy and marine consultants with their asset integrity management headquarters in Aberdeen city centre, donated 48 Computers as well as 64 flat screen monitors to a local high school.

“To remain at the cutting edge for our digital solutions and cyber security, we upgrade our equipment frequently which leaves us with IT supplies that still have a useful life. We contacted a local high school in the hopes that they could put this equipment to use, and they gratefully accepted. This is a great example of re-use and taking a circular economy approach to IT equipment,” says Stuart Murray, Head of Technical at ABL.

“It also feels good to support local education. Who knows, maybe one day some of the kids at this school will become engineers and start working at ABL”, Murray adds.

The ethos of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are at the heart of ABL Group. We embrace sustainability and this donation echoes our belief in responsible corporate citizenship. By repurposing and redistributing technology that still holds utility, we champion a circular economy approach, minimising waste while maximising impact.

Through initiatives like these, we strive to leave a lasting, positive footprint on our local communities.

Hoegh secures significant Enova funding

Comments Off on Hoegh secures significant Enova funding

Shipping company Höegh Autoliners ASA is making significant progress in its ambition to make the Aurora Class the world’s first PCTC vessel to run on ammonia.

Today, they have been granted almost USD 14 million (NOK 146 million) in Enova funding to use the alternative and sustainable fuel for two of their vessels.

Director of Technology and Market Development in Enova, Astrid LilliestrĂ„le is pleased with Höegh Autioliners’ plans to introduce ammonia-powered vessels to its fleet: “We note that the shipping company aims to be at the forefront of adopting ammonia in ships and has ambitions to take measures to adapt to necessary changes and future requirements towards the low-emission society”

Höegh Autoliners has a total of 12 Aurora Class vessels on order. The vessels transport rolling cargo such as cars, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment, as well as general solo cargo needing to be shipped.

All 12 vessels are designed with engines that run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and low-sulfur oil, and with an ammonia-ready certification from DNV. To use ammonia as fuel, the installation of an ammonia engine and an additional tank to maintain sufficient range are required.

Therefore, Höegh Autoliners has applied for Enova funding for two of their 12 confirmed vessels to reduce the additional cost of this solution compared to a vessel that would be “ammonia ready”.

The company aims to use mostly carbon-neutral ammonia as fuel from the moment the vessels enter into service. It is expected that it could take some time before availability and price reach satisfactory levels, with a gradual ramp-up expected from 2027.

These vessels will significantly contribute to the company’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2040. Höegh Autoliners, as one of the first and few shipping companies globally, has secured access to the first ammonia 2-stroke engines delivered by MAN.

Each of Höegh Autoliners’ two planned ammonia vessels has been granted almost USD 7 million (NOK 73 million), with the total coming to almost USD 14 million (NOK 146 million).

Shipping accounts for around 3 percent of global emissions, and 90% of shipping emissions come from deep-sea transportation.

Höegh Autoliners already operates some of the world’s most sustainable PCTC vessels, equipped with fuel-saving technologies. With the order of 12 zero-emission-ready Aurora Class vessels and the potential for conversion to run on ammonia, the company positions itself at the forefront of zero-emission international shipping.

With a capacity of up to 9,100 cars, the Aurora Class vessels will be the world’s largest and most environmentally friendly car carriers ever built.

“At Höegh Autoliners, we take leadership by actively collaborating with a wide range of highly qualified and dedicated suppliers to make clean ammonia viable as a zero-emission shipping fuel. We believe it is important for shipping companies to send a clear signal to the rest of the value chain that the technology can be realized in a short time and that there will be demand for carbon-neutral fuel. Almost all Höegh Autoliners vessels sail under the Norwegian flag and have significant Norwegian content from the Norwegian cluster,” says CEO of Höegh Autoliners, Andreas Enger.

The support from Enova, together with our innovative multi-fuel vessel design, significantly helps derisking the choice of bringing the first zero-carbon vessels to our industry. The race towards decarbonizing the industry will take decades, not years. Nevertheless, no progress will be made without pioneering companies taking decisive steps to shape the future,” continues Andreas Enger.

Scholpp takes delivery of Tadano all terrain crane

Comments Off on Scholpp takes delivery of Tadano all terrain crane

For Scholpp, it appears that the latest Tadano AC 4.080-1 is the crane of choice in its class.

Why else would the Stuttgart, Germany-based crane services provider have ordered four of them at once? The first was handed over a while ago, and Scholpp Heilbronn branch manager Patrick Löffler recently took delivery of the second at the Tadano plant in ZweibrĂŒcken. The handover honors were performed by Tadano sales manager Michael Zieger.

What impresses Patrick Löffler the most about the Tadano AC 4.080-1 is its winning combination of compact dimensions, a 60-meter boom length, and high lifting capacities, especially at steep boom positions. The AC 4.080-1 also has everything he was looking for on the equipment front – including the unique Surround View camera system, which Scholpp made a point of ordering. This patented technology uses cameras to generate a computer-assisted display of the maximum possible outrigger extension lengths for any given work location, making it easier for the operator to position the crane optimally on the job site. The system also provides assistance on the way to the site by making it easier for crane operators to spot pedestrians and cyclists when turning.

Other add-ons that Scholpp ordered with its new AC 4.080-1 include connections for an e‑PACK. The e-Pack is an electro-hydraulic system that enables zero-emission crane operation, making the AC 4.080-1 the ideal choice for heavily built-up city locations, nighttime lifts in residential areas, and assignments inside factory halls. Scholpp will use its new AC 4.080-1 mainly in the Heilbronn region for lifts for construction and steel fabrication customers, as well as for moving heavy items of machinery. “But I’m sure we’ll find one or two jobs for it in other areas as well, because the AC 4.080-1 is a true all-rounder,” says Patrick Löffler. For him, the new crane is the perfect addition to the Scholpp fleet, which already includes numerous Tadano City, all terrain, and truck-mounted cranes spanning lifting capacities from 40 to 700 tonnes.

Kalmar concludes agreement to supply ITC

Comments Off on Kalmar concludes agreement to supply ITC

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has concluded an agreement to supply Australian operator Intermodal Terminal Company (ITC) with six Kalmar Electric Reachstackers and two Kalmar Electric Empty Container Handlers.

The equipment will be deployed at ITC’s Somerton Intermodal Terminal, a multipurpose terminal currently being constructed in Melbourne, Victoria. This significant order, which also includes a Kalmar Complete Care service agreement, was booked in Cargotec’s Q3 2023 order intake. The deliveries of the equipment are scheduled to begin during the first quarter of 2025.

ITC is wholly owned and backed by Aware Super, one of Australia’s leading superannuation funds. Once completed, the Somerton Intermodal Terminal (SIT) will be the largest intermodal terminal ever built in Australia, with a future capacity to process up to one million-plus TEUs each year.

ITC estimates the future SIT will help remove the equivalent of 500,000 truck trips each year off already heavily congested Melbourne streets, roads and motorways, which would help reduce emissions in the national supply chain to the tune of 189,000 tonnes each year. Kalmar reachstackers and empty container handlers will be powered by lithium-ion battery technology. As part of the Kalmar Complete Care agreement, a Kalmar maintenance team and parts inventory will be located at the terminal to enable 24/7 support for the equipment.

Leigh Cook, Chief Development Officer, ITC: “ITC is fully committed to helping to reduce transport and operating emissions in state and national supply chains. With Kalmar’s delivery of a fully-electric fleet of container handling equipment and on-site support, we’re not merely reducing emissions; we’re laying the groundwork for a cleaner, greener, and more efficient tomorrow.”

Shane Brook, National Key Account Manager, Oceania, Kalmar: “We are pleased to partner with ITC and deliver the first electric mobile equipment fleet in Oceania for their new terminal. With our world-leading electric portfolio and our on-site maintenance, we can both deliver superior productivity and a significant reduction in emissions, helping ITC on its journey to net zero emissions.”

Duck Yang executes shipment to Busan

Comments Off on Duck Yang executes shipment to Busan

Duck Yang, our members from South Korea, recently executed a breakbulk transport from Antwerp, Belgium to Busan.

Travelling by sea, the company received an optimal service from HMM Copenhagen for their shipment, and they expressed gratitude for the voyage.

However – due to the recent incidents in the Red Sea, HMM were deeply concerned as their route was to pass through the Suez Canal.

Re-routing was completed to assuage these fears and ensure the safety of the crews, cargoes & vessel.

This shipment contained a total of thirteen packages: including a disassembled axial compressor, its accessories, and parts of a motor blower.

The main package weighed 130,350 kilograms with a volume of 177.8 cbm, and was registered as OOG cargo. It featured dimensions of 8.2 (L) x 4.5 (W) x 4.8 (H) meters and was moved BTS & STS using a floating crane.

The remaining packages travelled in a 40â€Č open top container under CY/CY by gantry crane from Antwerp, Belgium to the Hanjin Busan New Container Terminal.

JSI Alliance welcomes Intermarine

Comments Off on JSI Alliance welcomes Intermarine

After three years in a successful joint venture, Dutch maritime heavy lift transport and engineering contractor Jumbo Shipping and German breakbulk and project cargo specialist SAL Heavy Lift are thrilled to welcome their American sister, multipurpose and liner operator Intermarine, to the group.

On 1 March 2024, JSI Alliance will be ready to set sail with a new combined fleet of 50 vessels.

Jumbo, SAL and Intermarine have reached a significant milestone – one that resonates throughout the world of heavy lift shipping. They have joined forces to create a new industry powerhouse with the experience, legacy and reputation of these three renowned carriers, combing their fleets and all commercial activities for breakbulk and project cargo. What can be seen as the evolution of the commercial alliance Jumbo and SAL formed in 2021, JSI Alliance builds on the same fundamental principles. They will provide a unified commercial entry point for sales and marketing for their joint network of offices and agents in 23 countries worldwide. Versatile and flexible, the large fleet of around 50 vessels ranges from effective multipurpose vessels to the most advanced heavy lift ships in the world, with a lifting capacity of up to 3,000 t SWL. This essentially creates a real one-stop shop for customers seeking all kinds of maritime breakbulk or project transport solutions.

Intermarine President Richard Seeg explains: “This is a great step for Intermarine and a significant milestone for us in our over 35 years of business. We’re a sister company to SAL, which means we’ve had some cooperation up to this point. But forming a real commercial joint venture and alliance marks the beginning of a new and greater adventure. I’ve truly admired what Jumbo and SAL have managed to achieve over the past three years, and I’m excited to bring the Intermarine product to the joint venture. This will add more services and an expanded reach to the portfolio. With our strength, especially in the Americas, I’m sure our alliance is off to a great start.”

JSI Alliance stands for both commercial flexibility as well as technical excellence, offering semi-liner and liner services as well as customised project shipping solutions around the world. Services range from effective transport solutions for small parcels and single cargo items to the most complex industrial cargo units. The ability to combine services and transport solutions gives customers a new multitude of options.

Laurens Govers, Director Chartering & Projects at Jumbo Shipping, adds: “When we launched our commercial alliance with SAL three years ago, we weren’t sure how the market and our customers would receive this new take on a commercial cooperation in the heavy lift sector. Today, we look back at the success it’s been. Through our growing relationship with Intermarine as well, I’m confident that our new setup and wider service scope as JSI Alliance will be a valuable addition to our platform. Every customer, from EPCs and industrial equipment manufacturers to project freight forwarders, will find transport services that can benefit their business and projects in our new constellation.”

The Jumbo and SAL services and fleets are highly complementary, but the Intermarine “products” are somewhat different and expand the scope. The Intermarine fleet is based on standardised, effective multipurpose vessels typically geared up to max 500 t SWL, essentially where the Jumbo and SAL vessel portfolio begins. Furthermore, Intermarine is highly experienced in operating a mix of owned and time-chartered vessels, both on a short- or long-term basis. While the owned fleet typically takes on complex cargo operations, volume cargo and vessel positions may require a different approach. The focus on flexible commercial solutions that Intermarine brings to the table really helps JSI Alliance achieve their goal of being a true one-stop shop for customers.

Intermarine COO Lars Rasmussen says: “We have a setup where we can combine many different vessels and service scopes. With JSI Alliance, you can find simple, straightforward transport solutions as well as the capacity to handle the most complex heavy lift projects. We can combine standard multipurpose ships, with mighty heavy lifters, deck carriers and even in some case bulk vessels – all under our operation and management. I’ve been in bulk, breakbulk and project shipping for over three decades now, and I’ve never seen a commercial solution as comprehensive as this.”
JSI Alliance holds a combined +120 years of experience between its three members. The fleet and service scopes differ somewhat in the new joint venture, but Jumbo, SAL and Intermarine share a very similar culture and values. This is essential in a close, unified commercial structure where all sales teams work from the same platform.

SAL Heavy Lift Managing Director Jens Baumgarten summarises: “We’ve obviously gained vital experience in our years of commercial partnership with Jumbo. JSI Alliance emerged more or less organically with our closer commercial cooperation with our sister company, Intermarine. That being said, we’ve worked intensively over the past several months to prepare and set up our structures so we can operate effectively from day one. Our greatest priority is keeping our customers happy – both during and after each project and shipment. We believe that the added value we create for our customers will strengthen relationships and lead to repeat transport inquiries over many years.”
JSI Alliance replaces Jumbo-SAL-Alliance as the unified marketing platform and brand. As operators and owners, however, Jumbo, SAL and Intermarine remain independent – allowing the three brands to be active in the market.
Intermarine CEO Svend Andersen stresses: “JSI Alliance is the pinnacle of commercial innovation in heavy lift shipping. My many years in shipping have given me good instincts for which collaborations work and which don’t. I have no doubt that this one is a winner. Combining our strengths both commercially and technically outmatches any other operator in the market. Whether in Asia, Europe, Africa, the US or South America – the JSI Alliance organisation ensures that every customer gets the best possible service.”

All sales offices are unified from day one as JSI Alliance offices represent all three members. Also, back-office support functions such as engineering, QHSE and project management will contribute to the alliance organisation, maximizing synergies between the entities.

Daan Koornneef, CEO of Jumbo Shipping, concludes: “I’ve truly enjoyed witnessing the progress and the effective way our three organisations have come together, where we build on the success of the now former Jumbo-SAL-Alliance. And Dr Martin Harren, CEO of SAL Heavy Lift and Harren Group, agrees: “For our company and group, it’s vital that we remain agile commercially and operationally, and seize the opportunities as they come – this is the true spirit of our organisations. JSI Alliance marks a new cornerstone for our business.”

JSI Alliance stands for sea logistics of all types of heavy lift, breakbulk and project cargo in all markets. Side by side, three of the most prominent and technologically advanced breakbulk and heavy lift carriers, Jumbo Shipping, SAL Heavy Lift and Intermarine, are combining their strengths and resources to deliver the best maritime transport solutions to customers worldwide. Three united teams and three fleets operate as one shared fleet – specialised in their respective business fields. And customers benefit from simplified, fullscope services. JSI Alliance controls and operates around 50 owned and chartered project cargo vessels – of these, 25 high-end project cargo vessels. With three DP2 vessels, four semi-submersible deck carriers, two range-extending Fly-Jibs and eleven ice-class vessels, JSI Alliance can reach almost any location and master the most demanding scopes. JSI can also organise time charter vessels if needed.

JSI Alliance provides highly flexible shipping solutions and an unparalleled range of breakbulk and project shipping services in the market. Lifting capacities from standardised multipurpose ships range from 160 t SWL to 3,000 t SWL. As such, JSI Alliance manages the largest fleet of vessels in the +800 t lifting segment as well as the most advanced green heavy lift ships, with Orca series vessels launching in 2024. This provides a commercial bandwidth that stretches from rapid positioning vessels for smaller or larger single shipments to large volume contracts and full-scope solutions for complex projects – all under one roof. A strong group of experienced professionals – commercial, engineering, project management, QHSE – works closely together with a combined network of agents and offices worldwide. They provide partnership, expert advice and safely delivered goods to a wide range of clients, including EPCs, brokers, forwarders, OEMs, energy companies and more.
