CHS Container Group, a partner of the Project Logistics Alliance, has announced the opening of its newest U.S. facility in Monroe, North Carolina.

Operating as CHS Container Carolinas LLC, the site is expected to create 30 jobs in the Charlotte region over the next five years.

The Monroe facility, located at 2203 Stafford St Ext, is the company’s second major U.S. expansion in just twelve months. Fully operational and open to the public by appointment, the new facility provides container rentals, sales, and modifications to customers in Charlotte and across the Carolinas, serving rural businesses. CHS Container Group’s expansion in North America has been fast, moving over 15,000 containers last year and establishing the company’s first U.S. depot in Memphis, Tennessee. Further rapid U.S. expansion plans by CHS Container Group are underway.

“Our site selection process brought us to communities across the Southeast, and Monroe consistently stood out,” said Christian Leopold, Managing Director at CHS Container Group. According to Leopold, the company found not only a robust logistics infrastructure and promising growth, but also “a workforce and local leadership committed to building long-term partnerships”. Therefore, CHS Container Group looks forward to bringing its international expertise while aligning with the priorities of the Monroe community.

CHS Container Group leverages specialized expertise to transform retired shipping containers into storage units or outfit them for use as workshops, offices, and other modular buildings. This process of repurposing containers extends their lifecycle and reduces environmental impact. CHS Container Group’s Monroe facility houses an extensive inventory of new and used containers in various sizes, along with popular modifications such as doors, windows, vents, and electrical installations.

“As brick-and-mortar costs continue to rise, shipping containers can offer local businesses flexible space without the burden of traditional real estate,” said Bill Franzke, General Manager at CHS Container Group USA. “Every dollar a local business saves on storage or rent is a dollar they can reinvest elsewhere.”

A milestone for modern heavy load transport: the STB 320 side girder deck, developed by TII SCHEUERLE in close cooperation with Spedition Kübler, has successfully completed its first deployment with the transport of a 285-tonne transformer for transmission system operator TransnetBW.

On the evening of 9th July 2025, an exceptional transport operation started its journey at approx. 7:00 pm in the close vicinity of the Offenburg railway freight station. Its destination was the Offenburg-Weier transformer substation about 10 kilometres away which is being converted to a higher voltage level as part of the grid expansion project in south-west Germany. The STB 320 completed the demanding route in about three hours – including weight-sensitive bridge crossings, tight roundabouts and complex inner-city traffic rout-ing.

The STB 320 was designed by TII SCHEUERLE specifically for the transportation of the heaviest transformers. As a priority, the goal was to create a modular, weight-optimised vehicle that could safely move maxi-mum loads even under the most challenging of infrastructural conditions. The project was developed in close cooperation with Kübler Spedition – a long-standing user of TII technology – and is directly aimed at fulfilling the requirements that the network expansion places on modern heavy-duty technology.

In particular, the two bridge structures along the transport route – including the almost 80-metre-long cantilevered Kinzig Bridge – posed a special challenge. Conventional vehicles would not have been able to meet the static load limits in this case. However, thanks to its reduced dead weight and flexible axle configuration, the STB 320 facilitated a safe crossing – clear proof of the vehicle’s technical capabilities.

The technical maturity of the new deck was already evident during coupling operations of the transformer at the freight station: thanks to hydraulically-adjustable auxiliary beams, the STB 320 could be positioned with millimetre precision. Throughout the journey, the vehicle made a very impressive case with its out-standing manoeuvrability and adaptability – including lifting and lowering functions to pass beneath a pedestrian bridge and swinging over high traffic islands.

Upon reaching its destination, the transformer was lowered precisely onto the prepared foundations by means of the on-board hydraulics – quickly, safely and without requiring the use of additional lifting equipment.

The successful use of the STB 320 is an impressive demonstration of how innovative vehicle technology can contribute to the implementation of the energy transition programme. In view of the increasing demands in network and plant expansion, the STB 320 from TII SCHEUERLE offers a future-oriented solution for transformer transport under difficult conditions.

“With the STB 320, we have a transport solution that is perfectly tailored to meet the requirements of modern transformer transportation. The combination of a high load capacity, reduced axle load and flexible application options opens up completely new transport options for us – especially in infrastructure-sensitive locations. The successful first deployment has shown that we are ideally positioned for dealing with future challenges.” A summary echoed by the entire Kübler Spedition team.

Norsepower, the global leader in mechanical wind propulsion, has announced the successful testing of its next-generation control system, Norsepower Sentient Control (NPSC), aboard two ocean-going vessels.

The system, which leverages advanced AI and data-driven optimisation, demonstrated a performance improvement of 8.2% and 20.6% compared to traditional control systems.

The performance tests were conducted onboard two vessels operating along different trade routes and equipped with distinct rotor sail configurations. These on-off comparisons revealed that Norsepower Sentient Control consistently outperformed traditional control systems. The most significant gains were seen on vessels operating multiple Norsepower Rotor Sails, where sail interaction dynamics were better optimised by the system’s adaptive algorithms.

“This is a major milestone for the wind propulsion industry,” said Heikki Pöntynen, CEO of Norsepower. “For the first time, we can show that AI-powered control doesn’t just barely work — it unlocks considerably higher savings and smarter operations. The data speaks for itself. With Norsepower Sentient Control, our customers are not only saving more fuel, but they’re also gaining a measurable advantage in the regulatory landscape. This is the real beginning of digital wind propulsion.”

Norsepower Sentient Control is now available to all existing and future Norsepower customers. The system integrates Norsepower’s patented rotor sail force feedback with machine learning, enabling precise control, real-time performance insights, and continuous system adaptation based on vessel-specific aerodynamic characteristics and environmental conditions.

Key features include: NPRS Force Feedback: Delivers accurate force measurement for smarter control decisions; Machine learning optimisation: Continuously improves performance by adapting to individual vessel dynamics and operational data; NPRS Power management: Allocates energy efficiently based on Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC) models; Real-time hydrodynamic optimization: Considers lateral forces and rudder compensation for improved manoeuvrability and fuel economy; Comprehensive voyage optimisation: Customises routing recommendations using vessel-specific performance models.

“Being able to measure and prove actual, rather than only modelled, performance is a gamechanger,” continued Pöntynen. “This isn’t just digital icing on the cake. It’s core to extracting full value from every rotor sail. The Norsepower Sentient Control adapts to vessel design route, and operating conditions in an unmatched way — and we believe the best results are still to come.”

The Norsepower Sentient Control is a big part of the Norsepower Digital Dimension — the full-stack digital ecosystem that includes the Norsepower Cloud, enabling secure data collection, emissions tracking, and fleet-wide savings optimisation.

With more installations and tests already underway, Norsepower sees greater potential yet to be realized in the digital dimension. Initial test results suggest even higher savings could be achieved with further optimisation — especially for vessels with larger or more complex rotor sail setups.

“This development strengthens Norsepower’s leadership position not just in wind propulsion hardware, but also in the digital dimension that is now essential for compliance, efficiency, and transparency,” Pöntynen concluded. “With this step, we reaffirm our claim: we didn’t just open the market — we’re defining its future.”

Angolan logistics and supply chain management company Cabship has joined the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies conference – taking place September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town – as a Silver Partner.

As the largest event of its kind on the continent, AEW: Invest in African Energies unites the entire African energy sector and its value chain, from upstream operators to technology and service providers to infrastructure developers and logistics firms. Cabship’s participation reflects a broader commitment to supporting African oil and gas projects through enhanced logistics and infrastructure development.

Celebrating 16 years of operations in 2025, Cabship has emerged as a strong logistics partner for oil and gas companies in Angola – sub-Saharan Africa’s second largest oil producer.
