TII KAMAG has introduced its efficient swap body transporter, the KAMAG PrecisionMover (KAMAG PM), in a hot-dip galvanised version.

Galvanising the lifting table, frame and cab mounting system enhances corrosion resistance and service life of the vehicle.

TII KAMAG, a leading manufacturer of special vehicles and specialist for transport solutions in handling operations, offers a wide range of solutions for diverse transportation tasks. This also includes the KAMAG PM swap body transporter which is known for its efficiency and manoeuvrability in cargo handling operations. This vehicle has been specially designed for logistics service providers, couriers, express and parcel service operators as well as sub-contractors who rely on fast and efficient processes at their logistics yards. The KAMAG PM has proven itself to be reliable and safe in tough, continuous use and also when subjected to extreme conditions.

A significant upgrade to the KAMAG PM is therefore the introduction of hot-dip galvanized components including the lifting table, vehicle frame and cabin suspension system. The benefits of galvanisation include improved durability and corrosion resistance which are critical to vehicle robustness. Galvanisation provides very effective and reliable resistance to rust and facilitates self-healing in the event of minor damage. Galvanised surfaces are robust and resistant to different temperatures without compromising any of their protective characteristics. As a result, the KAMAG PM can also be used during extreme weather conditions as well as under increased mechanical stress.

By integrating galvanised components, TII KAMAG not only extends the service life of the KAMAG PM but also contributes to economic efficiency and environmental compatibility. Galvanised parts require less maintenance and are recyclable thus making them a sustainable choice. “The hot-dip galvanised KAMAG PM is also an example of our commitment to implementing environmentally-friendly solutions. Galvanising is considered a resource-saving corrosion protection process that helps reduce the ecological footprint. We are committed to sustainability in the transport industry whereby the special requirements and challenges of our customers are always at the forefront,” emphasised Jürgen Haupt, Head of Sales Logistics at TII KAMAG.

Since its market launch in 1995, the KAMAG PM, formerly known as the “Wiesel”, has established itself as a best seller in the internal transport industry. With over 2,500 KAMAG PM swap body transporters in more than 20 European countries, TII KAMAG is the market leader in this segment. Customers particularly appreciate the vehicle’s high level of economic efficiency and practicality when handling swap bodies, trailers and semi-trailers.

Project Logistics Alliance is happy to announce that Falcon International, representing Canada in the alliance, has successfully completed a project from meticulous planning to a flawless execution.

The journey started from Houston, Texas to Hays, Kansas. The cargo measured 927 x 302 x 429 cm and weighed 85,433 Kg. The scope was the relocation of a new engine and removal of the old engine from inside the plant. Additionally, the process required mobilization of necessary equipment with end-to-end coordination.

The engine was transported as part of a power generation plant project based in Hays, Kansas set to provide electricity to residential areas and the industrial sector.

To achieve this movement the following steps were necessary: engine relocation via Jack & Slide techniques, timely arrival of a 13-axle truck, mobilization of a 260-ton crane, route survey for smooth transport, and permit acquisition for time-critical moves.

The primary challenges encountered during the shipment process were ensuring the timely availability of a truck at the Houston Terminal, obtaining permits for this time-sensitive operation, and coordinating the delivery of specialized lifting equipment for the trans-loading of the engine. Despite these challenges, the Falcon International team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and problem-solving skills, successfully overcoming each hurdle.

This project exemplifies Falcon’s commitment to excellence and their ability to turn challenges into triumphs. Congratulations to team Falcon International for a job well done!

As part of the Botany Rail Duplication Project Sarens was asked by our client John Holland to demolish 2 old rail bridges at O’Riordan Street.

The $400 million Port Botany Rail Line Duplication and Cabramatta Loop project will deliver better access to global export markets via Port Botany, improve freight supply chains across New South Wales, and help ease local road congestion.

Sarens had to remove two bridges – the east span weighing 258T and the west span weighing 284T.

There were two major challenges: The fixed steel billboard on the sides of the bridges; A four-hour time window to remove the old bridges and drive approximately 1 km over public roads, next to the Sydney airport, to bring them to the designated lay down yard; The weight of the bridges, more than 250tonnes each, and the surrounding structures ruled out the possibility of deploying a crane. SPMTs proved to be the ideal solution.

The Eastern bridge was removed by lowering the bridge down using the stroke of the SPMT. To remove the west span an additional stroke was required. The team decided to deploy CS250 climbing system on top of the SPMTs for the west span. Upon removal, the SPMTs drove the bridges down to a lay down yard, around 1km away. Upon arrival Sarens gantry system was used to lift bridge sections from the SPMTs onto concrete blocks.The removal & drive down to the lay down yard was completed in under four hours. (While the lowering could be done outside the critical window)

Michiel De Bodt, Technical Solutions Sales Manager adds, “The proximity of the project site to the Sydney Domestic and International Airport added to our challenge. We had to follow strict OLS restrictions and most of the work was completed during the night shifts.” He says, “It was a challenging project but with the close cooperation of all the parties our team successfully completed the project on time and within the budget.”

The South African heavy-load logistics provider Vanguard has purchased six rotor blade transport systems (RBTS) from TII SCHEUERLE.

The company is using these to transport more than 230 wind blades, each around 83 metres long, over a distance of around 500 kilometres to the respective operation sites. Vanguard chose the RBTS from TII SCHEUERLE primarily because of its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, transport safety and ease of use.

The RBTS (RotorBlattTransport-System) from TII SCHEUERLE has already completed the required test loading and test drives at Vanguard with flying colours. It had to demonstrate its particular strengths when transporting the almost 83 metre long wind blades. These are among the longest rotor blades for use in on-shore systems currently available on the world market. When loaded, the combined vehicle length reached 95 metres. TII SCHEUERLE, the industry specialist for heavy-load transport on and off-road from the TII Group, has once again impressively demonstrated the operational performance of the trailing unit concept.

“The tests have shown that the RBTS is even better than we expected,” says Bryan Hodgkinson, Director of Vanguard. Vanguard has purchased a total of six RBTS from TII SCHEUERLE. The internationally active heavy-load logistics provider Vanguard, with headquarters in Cleveland, South Africa, is currently transporting two rotor blades per week from the port of Ngqura near Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape Province) over a distance of around 500 kilometres to their inland operational sites. The order includes the transport of more than 230 blades for 78 wind turbine facilities. It will take Vanguard around one year to do this. The company has already completed the first tours. “Everything has gone very smoothly so far,” said Bryan Hodgkinson.

The SCHEUERLE RBTS allows Vanguard to fulfil this order economically and efficiently as well as safely. A key strength of the RBTS is the safe and reliable transportation of even the longest wind blades over long distances. In addition, the trailing unit concept can be used flexibly for components of other lengths and is easy to operate. With the RBTS, Vanguard also has a versatile transport solution for wind blades in the future. “The SCHEUERLE RBTS has fully met our requirements. The company’s good reputation in the industry also spoke in favour of TII SCHEUERLE,” stated Bryan Hodgkinson.

“We were very pleased when Bryan Hodgkinson, CEO of Vanguard, decided in favour of the SCHEUERLE RBTS,” explained Lars Schoedt, Area Manager Sales at TII SCHEUERLE. “In our discussions, it became clear that we could provide Vanguard with the best transport solution for meeting their challenges in terms of flexibility, cost-effectiveness, safety and easy handling.” After the delivery of the six transport systems, service experts from TII SCHEUERLE trained the company employees so that they could easily load and transport the valuable and fragile cargo safely.

The SCHEUERLE RBTS consists of a 2-axle jeep dolly together with a free-turning device and a 4-axle trailing unit. It is also possible to mount the free-turning device directly on the truck tractor. The lift of up to two metres in the free-turning device is also large enough to accommodate obstacles such as surface unevenness and bumps in the road. The trailing unit combination makes an impressive case through its manoeuvrability and safe driving performance especially over long distances. It can negotiate bends that cannot be mastered with a telescopic semi-trailer without having to remove any infrastructure such as crash barriers. This reduces the time and effort involved in preparing the route, minimises the approval procedure and is therefore particularly cost-effective in use. Given that the rotor blades of increasingly more powerful wind turbines are becoming ever larger, the RBTS is also a particularly future-proof solution.

Assembly of the wind blade is carried out according to the plug-and-play principle. With the help of a special lifting device, the wing root is comfortably picked up from the ground. The quick coupling solution is comprised of the free-turning device along with the root adapter and a root frame that is connected to the blade root. This frame can then be secured to the free-turning device in next to no time with the help of the adapter. A clamping device on the trailer unit is used to fix the tip of the rotor blade into position. It can be adapted to accommodate rotor blades from other manufacturers.

The RBTS also offers great advantages regarding empty runs, depending on the region of operation. In Europe, for example, it can be shortened to form a semi-trailer combination in line with the European standard dimensions of 2.55 metres wide and less than four metres high. At the same time, the empty tractor-trailer combination weighs no more than 40t. Thus, for example, driving without a load requires less approval procedure. In South Africa too, there are advantages if the unloaded vehicle has the dimensions used in conventional transport. In such large countries, the high transport speed is also very impressive.

On September 12 2023, Japan Suiso Energy, Ltd. (JSE)*, and three Japanese shipping companies, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), have agreed to join JSE Ocean, Ltd. (JSE Ocean), a subsidiary of JSE.

JSE remains the majority shareholder with 50.2% of stock, whilst the shipping companies hold 16.6% each.

The expectation for hydrogen as a clean energy is increasing worldwide as we strive to achieve a decarbonized society. Japan’s Basic Hydrogen Strategy, revised by the Japanese government in June 2023, identifies hydrogen as the alternative to fossil fuels as it targets decarbonisation. In the Strategy Japan commits to a target of 3 million tons/year of hydrogen by 2030, 12 million tons/year by 2040, and 20 million tons/year by 2050.

The target hydrogen supply cost is approximately JPY30 /Nm3 in 2030 and JPY20 /Nm3 in 2050 at the point of arrival in Japan. To achieve these price and volume targets, and create a secure global supply chain, transport by ship is crucial.

In August 2021, Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO), allocated a grant from the Japanese government’s Green Innovation Fund to JSE, Iwatani Corporation and ENEOS Corporation for the “Liquefied Hydrogen Supply Chain Commercialization Demonstration Project”.

In this project, JSE will establish the world’s first large-scale hydrogen liquefaction and transportation technology, involving an initial 30,000 tons of hydrogen per year before upscaling. JSE will also demonstrate a comprehensive and reliable global liquefied hydrogen (LH2) supply chain, covering hydrogen production, liquefaction, export from Australia, marine transportation, and import.

JSE Ocean was established in January 2023 to research the marine transportation of LH2 by using a large- scale LH2 carrier. JSE, and the three Japanese shipping companies with extensive knowledge and experience in the energy transport business, will establish the marine transport of LH2 at a commercial scale through JSE Ocean.

We will collaborate to explore the safety and efficient operation of the world’s first large-scale LH2 carrier by 2024, as well as develop a viable marine transportation business scheme. Furthermore, the LH2 carrier will be powered by hydrogen, significantly reducing CO2 emissions during operation.

JSE was established in June 2021 with the main objectives of research, planning, management, and investment in the international supply chain of LH2. Current shareholder composition is Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. 66.6% Iwatani Corporation 33.4%.

Ask about the Tadano HK 4.070-1, and Willard Pluimers, the managing director behind the Rijssen, Netherlands-based crane service provider of the same name, will be more than happy to tell you all the reasons why he thinks it is an excellent purchase.

“We chose this particular crane mainly because it’s a lot more cost-effective to buy and operate than an all terrain crane, given the sorts of jobs we intend to use it for. It’s also very simple to operate,” he said on taking delivery of the crane at his company’s business premises in Rijssen. The crane was formally handed over by Tadano Sales Manager Netherlands Richard Beenen.

Pluimers was just as sold on the HK 4.070-1’s technical features, particularly the Volvo tridem axle group, which, with its steered trailing axle, gives the carrier a very small turning radius. In fact, he is a big fan of the Volvo carrier for a lot of reasons, including the Volvo I-Shift transmission’s popularity with his crane operators and Volvo’s famously high standards of quality and service. All of which are part of the HK 4.070-1 package.

For Pluimers, further plus points include the crane’s H-style outrigger system and five outrigger bases, which make the machine extremely versatile at tight work sites. And then there’s the Tadano Smart Chart system. “This intelligent control system for combined main boom and rooster sheave operation increases the available lifting capacity to the point where we can even use the HK 4.070-1 for lifts in the 80-tonne class,” he said. For Pluimers, these features all add up to make the Tadano HK 4.070-1 the perfect all-round package.

It’s also very simple to operate,” he said on taking delivery of the crane at his company’s business premises in Rijssen. The crane was formally handed over by Tadano Sales Manager Netherlands Richard Beenen.

Pluimers was just as sold on the HK 4.070-1’s technical features, particularly the Volvo tridem axle group, which, with its steered trailing axle, gives the carrier a very small turning radius. In fact, he is a big fan of the Volvo carrier for a lot of reasons, including the Volvo I-Shift transmission’s popularity with his crane operators and Volvo’s famously high standards of quality and service. All of which are part of the HK 4.070-1 package.

For Pluimers, further plus points include the crane’s H-style outrigger system and five outrigger bases, which make the machine extremely versatile at tight work sites. And then there’s the Tadano Smart Chart system. “This intelligent control system for combined main boom and rooster sheave operation increases the available lifting capacity to the point where we can even use the HK 4.070-1 for lifts in the 80-tonne class,” he said. For Pluimers, these features all add up to make the Tadano HK 4.070-1 the perfect all-round package.

Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, today announces that it has achieved the 1,000th sale of its HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX computed tomography (CT) X-ray scanner.

The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX produces high-resolution volumetric 3D images for quicker and deeper baggage assessment and automatic explosive detection with low false-alarm rates. This provides an advanced security screening experience that allows passengers to leave electronic devices and liquids in their hand luggage, enabling passengers to move through airport security checkpoints faster, without compromising on safety. The state-of-the-art security scanner ultimately leads to greater safety outcomes, more efficient operations and improved passenger satisfaction.

Already in use in airports around the world, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX has been shown to reduce time spent at security by up to 50%, with 90% of passengers at Milan Linate Airport passing through security in fewer than five minutes[1].

Philo Daniel, Global Director Aviation and Urban Security said: “This is a significant achievement for us at Smiths Detection and is reflective of the remarkable system that the team have produced. Not only does the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX generate the highest quality images, but it also helps make faster decisions and has the quickest belt speed on the market – all of which contributes to getting passengers through security faster, while helping to make the world a safer place.”

In addition, the HI-SCAN 6040 boasts the lowest energy consumption of its type, which not only helps customers achieve their sustainability goals but helps to reduce noise and heat emitting from the system – resulting in a calmer security screening experience and a low cost of ownership.

The system has ECAC EDS CB C3 approval and featured on the Transport Security Administration’s (‘TSA’) CPSS QPL & APL for base, medium and large configuration checkpoint CT checkpoint screening systems. The CTiX scanner is also STAC, ENAC and IPMO approved, and has TSA APSS v6.2 Level 1 certification.

Earlier this year, Smiths Detection announced the launch of the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX Model S, which offers the same high-standards with a smaller footprint. This system has already achieved ECAC EDS CB C3 certification in Europe, with further local approvals to follow.

“Together with a clear decarbonisation target, safety is our top priority both on our existing fleet and when designing our new Aurora class vessels.

Fire safety has been a focus area and part of the design work from day one,” says the COO of Höegh Autoliners, Sebjørn Dahl.

Recent fire incidents aboard EV-carrying vessels have brought attention to factors such as thermal runaway, saltwater intrusion, and compromised battery cells or components. Industry stakeholders, insurers, and safety experts have underscored the need for vigilance.

At Höegh Autoliners we focus both on pre-emptive measures and emergency plans to help mitigate danger. To improve fire detection and the ability to handle a possible fire we have among other measures implemented an extended number of fire zones, and installed heat and smoke detecting cameras and fire blanket stations on all cargo decks. We have more than the Class required amount of CO2, which serves as a highly efficient fire extinguisher on board our vessels.
“We’ve also improved the onboard digital platform. This enables us to include early warning if any loaded unit would send out notification of anomalies such as elevated battery temperatures,” says Dahl.

We are currently not accepting transportation of second-hand Electric Vehicles as they may represent higher risk. Höegh Autoliners have a close collaboration with DNV which enables us to be up to date and informed on the latest research and data on fire safety.

Prior to loading, our fire risk management includes optimized procedures.

Specifically, we aim to maintain high-voltage batteries in electronic and hybrid cars charged ideally below 30 percent and not above 50 percent, effectively mitigating the risk of fire incidents. This deliberate approach curtails energy density on the vessel’s deck, thereby reducing the potential severity of fires.

Secure and safe transportation of cargo to its destination is a key priority for us at Höegh Autoliners. Our cargo handling personnel are well trained and competent to take care of the cargo we carry on board our vessels. We have developed procedures and best practices for cargo handling, to minimise the risk of damage, and are continuously improving our operations so that we can provide the best possible service to our customers at all times. Höegh Autoliners follow best practices in the industry, which reflect years of hands-on experience. Our crew are undergoing regular refresher training on fire safety and firefighting techniques. In cooperation with local training centres we are focusing on hands-on fire-fighting techniques as well as safety procedures for high temperature fires. We conduct regular drills so that the crew are very familiar with their duties, location of equipment and use of the onboard equipment and systems. This will ensure that the crew have the capabilities to apply the correct firefighting method depending on the situation.

Fire incidents can be life-threatening, lead to environmental impacts and cause great damage on the vessels. Therefore, fire safety is among our top priorities at Höegh Autoliners.

The Rhenus Group has acquired a 49.99 percent shareholding in Rietlanden Terminals B.V. (“Rietlanden”), which operates two terminals located at the Port of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which is Europe’s fourth-largest Sea Port.

Rhenus has acquired its shareholding from the current owner JERA Global Markets. Rhenus will acquire the remaining 50.01 percent in 2027. The Rhenus Group is strengthening its European network of ports through this participation and will re-develop the terminals to cope with a future without coal.

With its 49.99 percent stake in Rietlanden Terminals B.V., Rhenus will be further expanding its extensive portfolio of services in the Netherlands with port handling and storage of bulk commodities in the Port of Amsterdam. Europe’s fourth-largest Sea Port is an important logistics hub and provides a central connecting point to all the important European markets. “We are delighted to welcome Rietlanden Terminals to our already extensive terminal network in Europe. Joining forces with JERA Global Markets is a natural fit, as we clearly share the same values,” says Michael Appelhans, the Managing Director of Rhenus Ports. JERA Global Markets will remain the controlling majority shareholder of Rietlanden until 2027.

In 2017, the Port of Amsterdam announced its sustainability strategy to end coal handling by 2030. To secure the long-term future of the terminals, JERA Global Markets and Rietlanden worked together on strategic options for further positioning. Central to this: the business should be in line with corporate goals and the port’s energy transition. “We are confident that the Rhenus Group is well-placed to maximise the value of Rietlanden Terminals, particularly from 2030 and beyond, when coal handling will be disallowed in the Port of Amsterdam,” says Justin Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of JERA Global Markets: “JERA Global Markets remains committed to our contracts with our customers in the ARA region and are focused on continuing to deliver strong value in our business partnership.”

With the addition of Rietlanden in Amsterdam, by 2027 Rhenus will double its capacity in terms of port terminal area in the Netherlands and also welcome new colleagues, who ultimately form the most important asset for the company. “This investment will be an outstanding opportunity for future growth at the Port of Amsterdam and to further expand our presence in the Netherlands in addition to our multi-purpose terminals in Rotterdam”, says Peter van der Steen, the Managing Director of Rhenus Port Logistics in the Netherlands. Rietlanden operates two terminals specialising in bulk commodities such as scrap metal and coal, and also provides additional services ranging from inland waterway shipping to handling sea freight.

The 6.5-hectare terminal in Amerikahaven is used for the handling of scrap metal together with a long-standing contractual partner. The terminal in Afrikahaven specialises in handling and mixing various types of coal. The 30-hectares site has a storage capacity of around 1.4 million tonnes. The terminal also has railway sidings where it is possible to load as many as six trains per day. “We’re going to develop the terminal in Afrikahaven and turn it into a multi-user terminal that focuses on storing and transhipping more environmentally friendly bulk commodities,” says Peter van der Steen.

19 new trainees will start their apprenticeship at the logistics specialist, LOXX, in Gelsenkirchen on 1 August 2023.

Following a seminar related to launching their training in Essen, they will spend their first day at the company’s business site on 4 August. The logistics company, LOXX, which is part of the Rhenus Group, is also looking for new trainees for 2024.

19 new trainees will start their apprenticeship at the logistics specialist, LOXX, in Gelsenkirchen on 1 August 2023. Following a seminar related to launching their training in Essen, they will spend their first day at the company’s business site on 4 August. The logistics company, LOXX, which is part of the Rhenus Group, is also looking for new trainees for 2024.

Twelve of the new employees are launching their career at LOXX as aspiring clerks specialising in freight forwarding and logistics services – and two of them are completing a sandwich bachelor’s degree course in logistics management. Six of the future warehouse logistics specialists and one budding IT employee, who will specialise in developing applications, are starting their training too. Their new teams will give them a warm welcome to the firm. However, before the trainees start their everyday work in the freight forwarding business, they will learn about issues such as the principles of office communications and organising themselves at the seminar entitled “Fit for Training”.

The new team members will regularly move from one department to another at LOXX and get to know all the different task areas required for everyday logistics operations. The trainees will learn about handling goods at the warehouse and discover everything necessary to deal with the different items and products in the proper manner – for example, those originating in the chemicals sector. The future clerks will be responsible for advising customers, for instance, in the customer services department or will plan journeys for trucks. The computer science trainee will support the company’s internal IT department.

“We’re delighted to be able to welcome the new trainees to our team. We were already able to get to know them personally at a trainee rally held in June,” says the Trainee Officer, Melanie Herhold. She will be accompanying the aspiring candidates during their training course together with André Wehner, the Warehouse Training Officer.

The application phase for the training places for the coming year, 2024, will already start in the middle of September. LOXX, a company that has been based in Gelsenkirchen for decades, is looking for motivated employees in the region.
