Tadano sends strong signal of commitment to Germany

0

With the construction of its new European spare parts center, Tadano is strengthening its delivery capacity and service speed for customers in Europe while at the same time sending a strong signal of its commitment to Germany as a business location.

As part of the reorganization of its European operations, Tadano will centralize its Europe-wide spare parts supply at its plant in Lauf an der Pegnitz. This measure is specifically aimed at improving customer service and thereby increasing Tadano’s competitiveness in the European market. With the topping-out ceremony on February 9, 2026, this project has reached a decisive milestone.

The relocation and logistics conversion will be completed in the second half of 2026, enabling the warehouse in Lauf to handle the entire European spare parts supply. Operation of the spare parts center will be carried out jointly with long-standing Tadano partner Gruber, a logistics specialist with extensive experience and in-depth industry expertise that handles exclusively Tadano components.

The topping-out ceremony marks an important milestone in the construction of the new spare parts center. “With today’s topping-out ceremony, we are taking a decisive step closer to our goal of making spare parts supply for our European customers even faster, more reliable, and more efficient,” says Dr. Frank Schröder, Managing Director & Executive Vice President Customer Support. “At the same time, this project underscores our long-term commitment to Germany as a business location and to sustainable growth in Europe.”

The new spare parts center meets the most modern logistical requirements. It will significantly reduce delivery times, as all shipments will now be dispatched centrally from Lauf. “Our customers can continue to place their orders via the Tadano webshop as usual. The centralized processing at the new spare parts center in Lauf will allow us to consolidate spare parts for all Tadano cranes into a single shipment, reducing effort and costs for our customers,” explains Schröder, highlighting the specific benefits for customers. Customers will also benefit from Tadano being able to stock approximately 30 percent more spare parts in the new central warehouse, further increasing availability.

Faster delivery times will also result from the central consolidation of inbound freight at the new logistics center. Spare parts from predominantly German suppliers will now be delivered directly to Lauf, rather than to the Netherlands, significantly reducing transit times. This translates into faster availability of spare parts for customers. Subject to parts availability, same-day dispatch will be possible. An extended order cut-off time also ensures that orders received by this time can be processed and shipped the same day. Express and overnight shipments can also be handled more efficiently and economically from the new logistics center. In addition, required spare parts will be available more quickly in service cases, allowing Tadano technicians to be supported on-site more rapidly. Overall, this significantly contributes to further reducing downtime.

All Tadano customers worldwide will benefit from these improvements: “Not least due to the proximity of the new central warehouse to Leipzig Airport, one of the most important air freight hubs in Europe with excellent global connections, our global business partners, especially in North and South America, will receive air freight shipments much faster,” explains Schröder.

Sarens repositions gantries at the Port of Barcelona

0

Sarens is supporting port infrastructure operations at the Port of Barcelona through the precise repositioning of 25 reefer gantries, delivering a controlled skidding solution in an active port environment.

The project, executed for Esteyco, required to adjust these gantries to the exact working position. To ensure long-term operational reliability, the structures needed to be carefully shifted rather than dismantled—calling for a tailored engineering approach.

These gantries are placed below the 24/7 – non stopping working automatic rolling gantries at this storage area of the Terminal. To meet the challenge, Sarens deployed its LP 123 skidding system in combination with hydraulic jacks and a dedicated bracing system. The solution was selected as the lightest suitable configuration in the Sarens fleet, offering the control required to handle the gantries, each weighing approximately 30 tonnes and standing 12 metres high while measuring just 2 metres in width.

That narrow footprint added complexity to the operation, making stability management critical throughout each stage. The team followed a precise sequence, jacking each gantry, skidding it into final position and lowering it onto newly installed anchor bolts. Variations in bolt alignment required constant fine adjustments, reinforcing the need for experienced operators and close on-site coordination.

Logistics were kept efficient, with all equipment transported by truck from Wolvertem (Belgium) and assembled on site within two days for the first gantry. The skidding works were carried out by a compact Sarens crew, demonstrating how specialised expertise and engineered systems can deliver safe and efficient results with minimal footprint.

Despite the technical and site constraints, the operation progressed smoothly across the 25 gantries, handled in stacks of five. The skidding system performed as expected, enabling controlled movements and accurate final positioning throughout the project duration.

Running from November 2025 through February 2026, the project highlights Sarens’ capability to deliver corrective engineering solutions in complex industrial and port environments—where precision, planning and execution are essential.

Progress on the BorWin6 Project continues

0

Progress on the BorWin6 Project continues with the successful completion of a key fabrication yard milestone in Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates.

Mammoet has completed the transport, loadout and mooring of the 5,461-tonne offshore jacket foundation, destined to support the BorWin6 offshore converter platform BorWin kappa in the German North Sea.

Developed by TenneT and delivered by McDermott International, the BorWin6 offshore grid connection is a 980-megawatt high voltage direct current connection that will transmit offshore wind energy from the German North Sea to the mainland, strengthening grid capacity and supporting the transition to sustainable power generation.
To support McDermott’s engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) scope for the BorWin6 topside and jacket, Mammoet has been selected as a subcontractor to provide critical jacking, transport and loadout services. For the jacket delivery milestone, Mammoet transported the structure using 216 axle lines of SPMTs powered by four power pack units, providing the required drive power to move and steer the load under full control during loadout.

Mammoet winches supported safe mooring management during critical quay activities. The jacket and its foundation piles have now been secured for sailaway to Europe for the next phase of the project.

Following completion of the loadout activities, focus now shifts to the next yard phase. Later in 2026, Mammoet will complete the BorWin6 topside jack up and weighing, with the topside expected to weigh approximately 17,000 tonnes.
For this operation, Mammoet will use its Mega Jack System, a solution designed to support efficient construction by allowing large modules to be built and lifted in one piece. The system has been used for completed lifts in excess of 40,000 tonnes and will prepare the topside for skidded loadout and sailaway later in the year.

“This jacket loadout is an important step for BorWin6 and it reflects the level of planning and control needed in a busy fabrication environment. As the project moves into its next phases, our team is now focused on preparing for the upcoming jack up, weighing and loadout of the topside later in 2026.

The Mega Jack 5200 system will be used to provide the control and stability required to handle a structure of this size,” commented Tom Brazier, Mammoet Project Manager.

The milestone builds on earlier BorWin6 work performed by Mammoet at the yard. Last year, Mammoet completed the movement of the topside module from its construction position to an interim staging area.

Total Movements moves Flash Drum to India

0

Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, moved a 311 ton weighting Water Flash Drum to one of the largest petroleum refineries in India – a task that demanded more than just logistics.

It required resilience, precision, and the collective spirit of everyone involved.

A spokesperson for the project team explained: “From the supplier’s factory to the refinery foundation, this drum travelled by road, by barge, and through challenging terrain.

Our scope covered: Road movement to the nearest jetty; Rolling the drum safely onto a barge; Coastal transport to the closest port near the refinery; Final inland delivery and placement on its foundation.

This wasn’t a routine move. It tested our planning, adaptability, and calmness under pressure.

Heavy monsoon rains and foul weather pushed us to strengthen safety protocols; Tidal limitations at both ports demanded precise timing; MWS approvals needed thorough preparation and coordination; Road infrastructure challenges and ODC restrictions required route intelligence and careful execution.

And through it all, our teams ensured that every moment of the journey stayed safe and on schedule. Against the odds, the flash drum reached its destination smoothly, safely, and right on time.”

 
 

Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, moved a 311 ton weighting Water Flash Drum to one of the largest petroleum refineries in India – a task that demanded more than just logistics.

It required resilience, precision, and the collective spirit of everyone involved.

A spokesperson for the project team explained: “From the supplier’s factory to the refinery foundation, this drum travelled by road, by barge, and through challenging terrain.

Our scope covered: Road movement to the nearest jetty; Rolling the drum safely onto a barge; Coastal transport to the closest port near the refinery; Final inland delivery and placement on its foundation.

This wasn’t a routine move. It tested our planning, adaptability, and calmness under pressure.

Rhenus strengthens commitment in Portugal

0

The Rhenus Group has completed the acquisition of all remaining shares of Grupo Totalmédia becoming the company’s sole owner, effective 1 February 2026.

This transaction marks the final stage of Totalmédia’s transformation that began with the stake acquisition in early 2023 and culminated in its rebranding as Rhenus Logistics on 1 February 2025.

Founded in 1998, Totalmédia has established a strong reputation in Portugal and Spain as a specialist in Home Delivery of large and bulky items. Through its integration into the Rhenus brand, the Home Delivery service strengthened its position in Portugal with a robust national footprint.

This scale reinforces Rhenus’ broader strategy to expand its high‑quality Home Delivery network across Europe. As part of the Home Delivery activities operated by Rhenus in fourteen European countries, handling around seven million shipments annually, the Portuguese setup will continue to benefit from an established international structure known for innovation and sustainability.

The completion of the acquisition paves the way for the integration of Rhenus’ Home Delivery and Road Logistics activities under the newly formed Rhenus Overland Portugal framework. This combined structure includes 16 platforms in Portugal, with 10 operated directly by Rhenus and 6 subcontracted, supported by more than 400 employees, in addition to more than 1,000 partners. The Overland division in Portugal handles more than 3.5 million shipments per year and operates over 24,000 m² of warehousing space.

Bringing these capabilities together allows Rhenus to offer customers more efficient end‑to‑end solutions that integrate first‑mile, linehaul and last‑mile services with scalable warehousing and value‑added offerings. This transition also aligns Grupo Totalmédia’s long‑standing customer‑focused values with the global principles of the Rhenus Group, including entrepreneurial thinking, continuity and integrity.

“The final acquisition of Grupo Totalmédia marks a decisive step in strengthening our position in Portugal. With full ownership now completed, we are able to bring the Home Delivery and Road Logistics operations together under Rhenus Overland Portugal with greater clarity and strategic direction,” says Frederico Beck, Managing Director of Rhenus Overland Portugal. “It is a milestone that reinforces our longterm commitment to the Portuguese market and sets the foundation for sustainable growth in the years ahead.”

HOPA powers growth with expanded trade network

0

HOPA Ports (Hamilton–Oshawa Port Authority) is reporting a successful 2025 navigation season, with 10,814,699 metric tonnes (MT) of cargo handled across its growing Great Lakes Port Network.

Despite a challenging global economic climate and shifting trade conditions, HOPA continued to advance cargo diversification and expand trade‑enabling infrastructure, strengthening Ontario’s competitiveness and opening new doors for Canadian exporters.

In 2025, the Port of Hamilton handled 10,350,606 MT, the Port of Oshawa handled 464,093 MT, and the Thorold Hub moved 116,561 MT. A total of 592 vessels called at Hamilton, 72 at Oshawa, and 9 at Thorold.

“This year demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of our port network,” said Ian Hamilton, President & CEO of HOPA Ports. “Through long‑term planning and strategic partnerships, we are building a Great Lakes Port Network that connects Ontario industries to global markets, supports economic growth, and strengthens supply chains for decades to come.”

“This year demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of our port network,” said Ian Hamilton, President & CEO of HOPA Ports. “Through long‑term planning and strategic partnerships, we are building a Great Lakes Port Network that connects Ontario industries to global markets, supports economic growth, and strengthens supply chains for decades to come.”

As part of its long‑standing strategy to diversify trade, HOPA continues to invest in a robust, province‑wide port and logistics network, ensuring “Canada is its own best trading partner” by strengthening domestic supply chains and expanding access to global markets.

Agri‑food cargo volumes including fertilizer, grain, and sugar, grew 3% over 2024, increasing by 85,796 MT across the port network. Raw sugar and fertilizer saw especially strong gains at the Port of Hamilton, supporting Ontario’s food manufacturing sector.

Gypsum, a key building material used in drywall, increased 33% over last year, driven by regional housing construction and commercial development.

Steel cargo experienced a sharp decline largely due to tariff instability. Other raw steel‑making materials fell 5%, mirroring wider manufacturing slowdowns.

The Port of Oshawa posted a 10% increase in cargo year-over-year, supported by the movement of oversized industrial equipment including components for Metrolinx’s Ontario Line tunnel boring project.

General cargo volumes jumped 92% over 2024; this includes machinery, parts, pressure vessels, transformer sets, and tank systems.

“We’re building a Great Lakes Port Network that benefits the country, particularly businesses right here in Ontario” Hamilton added. “By strengthening port‑to‑port connections and modernizing infrastructure, we’re positioning Ontario industries for long‑term growth and ensuring Canada is its own best customer.”
