Cargotec and SSAB are taking their partnership to the next level by introducing SSAB Zero, a fossil carbon emission-free recycled steel, to the cargo and load handling industry.

Cargotec plans to gradually start using this steel in its products this year.

The collaboration on SSAB Zero is a natural next step where Cargotec and SSAB continue their work together to reduce impact on climate in cargo and load handling solutions. The partnership has already resulted in the introduction of the world’s first load-handling equipment, a MULTILIFT hooklift, made with fossil-free steel. A prototype of this hooklift was unveiled by Hiab, part of Cargotec, in September 2022.

Approximately 26 percent of Cargotec’s total greenhouse gas emissions came from purchased goods in 2022. Decarbonising Cargotec’s supply chain is an important step in achieving the company’s ambitious science-based climate target, which is to reduce value chain emissions by 50 percent by 2030. SSAB Zero and, eventually, fossil-free steel will be key factors in this mission.

“As a provider of cargo and load handling equipment and solutions we are a major user of steel. Whenever possible, we give preference to materials with a smaller carbon footprint than traditional alternatives, and SSAB Zero provides a zero-emission and circular solution,” says Päivi Koivisto, Vice President Sustainability at Cargotec. “This is an important step on the journey towards fossil-free steel, and a great opportunity for Cargotec to grow its low and zero-emission offering.”

“We´re happy to welcome Cargotec as a partner also for SSAB Zero and look forward to continuing our joint efforts to reduce carbon footprints in the value chain,” says Thomas Hörnfeldt, Head of Sustainable Business at SSAB. “Demand for zero-emission steel keeps increasing, and SSAB Zero enables us to deliver more steel of this kind to our customers already this year.”

SSAB Zero has zero fossil carbon emissions (less than 0.05 kg CO2e emissions per kg steel in scope 1 and 2) in operations, including purchased energy and transportation. SSAB practises market-based emission factors for the electricity used and may secure fossil-free electricity through electricity guarantees of origin. Fossil fuels remain in the ground as SSAB has implemented a system to manage and ensure the correct source and use of alternatives connected to the production of SSAB Zero. Only recycled steel is used as a raw material, which means SSAB Zero supports the circular economy. Neither Cargotec nor SSAB engage in carbon emission offsetting activities.

If there is one thing that the team at Schmidbauer knows, it is that the Tadano AC 3.045-1 is a fantastic crane – that is why the company ordered six of them last year.

Tadano delivered the first three back in November, and numbers four and five have been handed over now: One of them is intended for the Fricke-Schmidbauer location in Brunswick, while the other is meant for Schmidbauer in Ingolstadt.

Fricke-Schmidbauer had already received one crane from the first delivery, and the team there is very happy with it: “The extremely compact AC 3.045-1 City is simply our crane of choice when it comes to projects in urban areas and tight work sites. That’s why our team is really excited about getting another one of these cranes for our fleet,” reports Fricke-Schmidbauer Managing Director Dr. Mitja Schimek. His colleague Christian Schlagbauer, the branch manager at Schmidbauer in Ingolstadt, also has words of praise for the compact design and the resulting maneuverability behind the AC 3.045-1 City. “On top of that, the crane has extraordinary lifting capacities – generally and, especially, when telescoping under load. This makes it simply unbeatable from our perspective when it comes to indoor projects,” he adds.

And since Schmidbauer ordered all six AC 3.045-1 City units with an e-Pack prep package for zero-emission crane operation, the cranes can even make full use of these advantages in cleanrooms. This not only expands the range of applications for a crane that is already extremely versatile, but is also crucial for the company’s green future, as the team at the Schmidbauer Group will tell you.

DEME Offshore has been awarded three contracts (1) for the Dieppe Le Tréport offshore wind farm in France.

This is the third large-scale offshore wind farm project for DEME in France following groundbreaking solutions deployed at Saint-Nazaire and the recent contract award of Iles d’Yeu and Noirmoutier wind farm.

The contracts include the transport and installation of the pin piles and jackets forming the foundations for the turbines, as well as the transport and installation of the pin piles, the jacket and the topside for the offshore substation. DEME Offshore will also carry out the EPCI scope (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) for 120 km of inter-array cables.

The Dieppe Le Tréport wind farm is owned by a consortium made up of Ocean Winds (Engie-EDPR), Sumitomo Corporation and Banque des Territoires. DEME Offshore was chosen for its proven track record installing this type of jacket foundations, its cable laying expertise, and extensive experience of working on offshore wind farms with challenging site conditions.

Dieppe Le Tréport has similarities to the 950 MW Moray East offshore wind farm in Scotland, whereDEME Offshore performed the full EPCI scope for 100 foundations and three offshore substations for Ocean Winds. DEME Offshore developed its own techniques for this project, and these will also be deployed at Dieppe Le Tréport, including a specialised rig and a jacket levelling and fixation system.

Piling operations for the offshore substation foundation are set to start in 2024 and the jacket foundation installation in the following year. One of DEME’s cable installation vessels is set to perform the cable laying scope, following the installation of the substation.

DEME Offshore is building up an impressive track record in France. Dieppe Le Tréport follows the successful installation of the XXL monopile foundations at Saint-Nazaire and the contract award for the installation of monopile foundations and the substation for the Iles d’Yeu and Noirmoutier offshore wind farm projects. DEME Offshore has also successfully completed the transport and installation of the offshore substations of Saint-Nazaire, Fécamp and Calvados.

With 62 turbines located off Dieppe and Le Tréport, the wind farm is set to supply nearly 850,000 people with sustainable electricity.

(1) The combined contracts represent a ‘large’ contract, which DEME defines as having a total value of more than EUR 300 million.

This year, Huisman has been located in the Wiltonhaven in Schiedam (NL), the Netherlands for 25 years.

The company moved to the Admiraal Trompstraat location at the end of 1998. Here, it grew into a global player in large cranes, installation equipment for offshore wind farms, and pipelay and drilling equipment for the world’s leading companies in the energy sector.

Huisman moved 25 years ago with approximately 180 employees, from a small location on Linschotenstraat in the city of Rotterdam to the former site of the Wilton Feijenoord shipyard. Today, the company has more than 500 employees working in Schiedam.

The Wiltonhaven is a strategic location for Huisman, offering access for seagoing vessels from the New Waterway. Huisman has a quayside of more than 300 metres with cranes able to install equipment to moored vessels.

In 2012, Huisman completed the construction of a 66-metre-high production hall, enabling it to produce, test and commission most products in-house.

Huisman then expanded its facilities in 2016 with the construction of a 90-metre-high drilling tower. This Huisman Innovation Tower (HIT) is used to demonstrate Huisman drilling equipment, for example for the geothermal industry, to develop future equipment and systems, and for training Huisman operators and employees.

Huisman was founded in 1929 by Mr M.M. Huisman as a steel construction company and has been owned by the Roodenburg family since 1980. At the time, the company had about 20 employees. The third generation of the family now manages the company, which employs more than 2,200 people worldwide. Besides the head office in Schiedam, Huisman’s activities are spread over production facilities and offices in China, the Czech Republic, Norway, Singapore, Brazil and the US.

During its 93 years of existence, Huisman has delivered pioneering solutions to various industries worldwide. Today, Huisman is an important player in the global energy transition. The company designs, builds and services, among other things, the cranes and installation equipment used for the installation of huge offshore wind turbines.

MacGregor, part of Cargotec, has extended its run of orders for walk-to-work gangway technology from Edda Wind, after receiving a contract to equip the 8th service vessel in succession for the Østensjø Group operation.

The new walk-to-work system contract was booked into Cargotec’s first quarter 2023 orders received and the vessel will be delivered in the third quarter of 2024. Once again, the vessel will be equipped with MacGregor’s distinctive Horizon, all-electric walk-to-work gangway – the sector-leading sustainable technology whose ability to deliver lowest possible emissions significantly reduces the vessel’s overall environmental footprint. The redundancy level of the equipment exceeds class requirements, ensuring the minimum level of unplanned downtime.

The Horizon gangway also ensures optimised logistics flow, offering the widest gangway bridge currently available and the largest passenger lift integrated on a gangway tower structure, which offers stepless connection from deck levels to gangway level. Its safety and efficiency are enhanced by an augmented reality operator station (AROS), which also increases logistics support by allowing a single operator to seamlessly change between crane and gangway operation from a centralised control station on the vessel’s bridge. The system is also interconnected to a Colibri 5 tonne 3D motion compensated crane, whose design is distinguished by its agility in compensating loads in 3D mode.

The order is a result of MacGregor’s long collaboration with Edda Wind, and MacGregor’s involvement from an early design stage has ensured that the position of the equipment is optimised for overall vessel efficiency.

“MacGregor is delighted to have yet another order to supply critical equipment to the Edda Wind newbuildings,” says Pasi Lehtonen, Senior Vice President, Offshore Solutions Division. “This is the 8th in the series of walk-to-work systems delivered to Edda Wind. We acknowledge the market validation of our capabilities in equipping this type of SOV system globally. It also reaffirms our strong commitment to provide enhanced sustainable solutions and services to our customers.”

Tera Shipping, our members from Malaysia, were recently appointed to deliver a pedestal crane along with its accessories to Labuan for Shell’s Timi Project.

There were 5 packages in total, with a combined weight of 36 MT and a volume of 703 CBM. The largest piece of cargo was measured at 23.8 (L) 6.0 (W) x 6.0 (H) meters.

Due to the client’s decision for a full charter, Tera supplied a 250 ft barge paired with a 1,200 horsepower tugboat for the project.

The cargo was stationed at their client’s private jetty, before being lifted & loaded onto the barge with a 250-ton capacity barge crane.

Upon completion, the cargo was secured on the barge deck, fastened, and set sail to Labuan Shipyard in East Malaysia.

After berthing alongside Labuan Shipyard, the barge crew performed unfastening & hooking on scope. The cargo was then unloaded using a 198-ton capacity ringer crane.

“Tera is working on a second leg to load the offshore pedestal crane onto a dedicated PSV, and arrange sea fastening before it is delivered & installed onto the intended offshore platform.”

At the 2023 “Not-A-Boring Competition” in Bastrop, Texas, at the beginning of April, the “Swissloop Tunneling” team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich won the top prize for innovative design.

Sponsored by Gebrüder Weiss, the group of more than 40 students retained their title as the team with the most innovative design in this competition hosted by The Boring Company. In advance, the global transport and logistics company ensured the on-time and secure transport of the critical drilling technology from Switzerland to the USA.

“Investment in the future of mobility and in ways to improve sustainability is critical for us and the industry. We participate in projects such as the Hyperloop, the Mars Mission, the SubOrbital Express rocket mission and work to develop alternative drives because it amplifies the values of Gebrüder Weiss and puts them into action,” said Lothar Thoma, Managing Director Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss.

The final stage of the competition set five of the globe’s most innovative and ambitious engineering teams against each other to be judged in four categories: (1) fastest tunnel completion, (2) innovative design, build and/or test, (3) most accurate tunnel, and (4) tunnel with tightest curve. In addition to 2nd place overall, Swissloop Tunneling won the innovation category. The concept of the Hyperloop project is to transport people and goods at high speed over longer distances through tunnels under or above the earth’s surface to their destination. The drilling robots must be as fast, compact, and as automated as possible to make tunneling financially feasible.

“Our team has been very lucky to have Gebrüder Weiss as our logistics partner for the past two competitions. Knowing that they hold similar values and believe in investing in the future of mobility adds to our team’s confidence, said Stefan Kaspar, founder and co-president of Swissloop Tunneling. “Over the past few years, we’ve all come to appreciate the critical role played by logistics companies in our world. None of this would have been possible without their support.”
