After three years of intensive research and development, the KIBA project – which stands for Artificial Intelligence and Discrete Loading Optimization Models for Enhanced Utilization in Combined Transport – has been successfully completed.

Led by Kombiverkehr KG and supported by Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße (DUSS), Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, INFORM, KombiConsult, Technical University of Darmstadt, and VTG, the project developed a demonstrator for a network capacity management and train loading optimization system. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation (formerly Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport).

The goal of KIBA was to use artificial intelligence (AI) and mathematical optimization to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability in rail freight transport. Supported by a central master data system, methods for network optimization and train loading planning were developed and visualized through a web-based interface for practical user insights.

“With KIBA, we have demonstrated how AI can make rail freight transport more efficient. The developed prototypes help maximize train capacity, use resources more effectively, and make combined transport more attractive. This represents an important step toward shifting freight from road to rail – and thus toward climate protection,” said Heiko Krebs, Managing Director of Kombiverkehr KG

The developed models for train loading planning ensure that trains are utilized to their full capacity in terms of weight and length while reducing crane movements and reloading processes. Numerous variables are automatically and simultaneously considered in the optimization. The network planning component combines AI-based volume forecasts with mathematical optimization to distribute load units in a way that achieves optimal train utilization and ensures fast transport times with minimal transshipments.

“The combination of AI and optimization opens entirely new opportunities for combined transport. Forecasts of booking volumes for load units can be directly integrated into optimization processes, allowing for efficient train loading and more stable network control. This creates a practical approach that directly supports operational systems and enhances the performance of rail freight,” explained Dr. Rafael Velásquez, Director Optimization & Integration at INFORM.

KIBA not only marks a technological milestone for combined transport but also exemplifies successful collaboration between academia and industry. “The close cooperation between Kombiverkehr, INFORM, DUSS, KombiConsult, and the two universities was the decisive success factor. Only by combining these diverse areas of expertise could such an innovative outcome be achieved,” said Krebs. “As a company that itself emerged from academic research more than 55 years ago, building bridges between universities and industry is deeply important to us. Especially in the field of AI, we see a strong need to maintain this link to stay competitive internationally,” added Dr. Eva Savelsberg, Senior Vice President and Member of the Executive Board at INFORM.

With the completion of the project, a solid foundation has been laid for further practical testing and integration of the developed solutions into existing systems. Next steps toward productive deployment include ensuring high-quality data, automating information exchange, and conducting live tests within operational systems. The prototype developed in KIBA is now being prepared for early use by terminal operators and rail freight service providers.

Sarens in Paris supports helicopter lift

At the end of April 2025, Sarens successfully completed a demanding lifting operation along the A9 motorway near Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Commissioned by Romein Beton, this short-term rental project involved the precise handling of 19 large concrete beams, each measuring up to 31,5 metres in length and weighing as much as 60,5 tonnes.

Sarens was selected for this project thanks to its technical expertise, proven experience, and strong relationship with the client. The full scope was delivered in just three days: one day for mobilisation, one for lifting, and one for demobilisation. Despite a tight schedule, the team completed the operation safely and efficiently.

One of the main challenges was managing the permitted outrigger pressures and limited space available for the crane installation. Thanks to careful preparation and expert coordination, these constraints were effectively addressed.

Lifting operations began at 07:00, with all 19 beams successfully placed within the same day. The beams, ranging in weight from 42 to 60,5 tonnes, were lifted at a radius of 31 metres. The entire operation ran according to plan without disruption, supported by a three-person crew working in close coordination.

The lifting equipment performed reliably throughout the project. Representatives from the equipment manufacturer were also present on site to assist with unpicking and installing the beams, ensuring optimal handling during key phases of the operation.

Though brief in duration, this project forms part of the ongoing upgrade to the A9 corridor, which plays a critical role in the regional transport network. Sarens’ contribution highlights its ability to deliver high precision lifting solutions on complex sites and under time constraints. Jaap Zwarthoed, who oversaw the operation, noted: “The team executed each step with professionalism and efficiency. The operation was smooth, safe, and a perfect example of Sarens’ capabilities in high precision lifting under logistical constraints.”

This project once again demonstrates Sarens’ commitment to delivering expertly engineered lifting solutions, on time, on target, and with safety and precision at the forefront.

Port Freeport marked a historic milestone on Monday, September 22, 2025, with the delivery of two state-of-the-art Super Post-Panamax Ship-to- Shore Gantry Cranes.

Their arrival, coinciding with the Port’s 100th anniversary, underscores Port Freeport’s enduring commitment to growth, innovation, and service to the region.

Transported fully erected aboard a heavy-lift vessel, the cranes were carefully offloaded and secured to the docks. Following installation and testing this fall, the new equipment will be placed in service, dramatically expanding the Port’s capacity to service some of the world’s largest container vessels efficiently.

“These cranes are a major investment in the future of Port Freeport and our community,” said Rob Giesecke, Chairman of the Port Freeport Commission. “They will act as a catalyst for future growth, helping us attract new business, create more jobs, and increase operating revenues to keep Port Freeport at zero-tax.”

Towering more than 300 feet high and weighing over 1,600 tons each, the cranes feature the ability to reach across 22 containers wide with a lift above the dock of 178.8 feet. Outfitted with advanced technology, they are designed to handle cargo with greater safety and efficiency, representing one of the most significant equipment upgrades in Port Freeport’s history.

“The addition of the new Super Post-Panamax cranes at the expanded container terminal berths, combined with the substantial completion of the Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project by year’s end, is a defining moment for the Port and a great way to start the Port’s next century,” said Phyllis Saathoff, Executive Director/CEO of Port Freeport. “As we commemorate our Centennial, this achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to developing world-class infrastructure that will benefit our region for many years to come.”

The cranes are expected to be fully operational later this fall. Their delivery during Port Freeport’s Centennial year reflects both the strength of its legacy and the promise of continued opportunity. A commemorative video will be released and made available on the Port’s website, allowing the community to share in their remarkable journey from delivery to installation.

Port Freeport marked a historic milestone on Monday, September 22, 2025, with the delivery of two state-of-the-art Super Post-Panamax Ship-to- Shore Gantry Cranes.

Their arrival, coinciding with the Port’s 100th anniversary, underscores Port Freeport’s enduring commitment to growth, innovation, and service to the region.

Transported fully erected aboard a heavy-lift vessel, the cranes were carefully offloaded and secured to the docks. Following installation and testing this fall, the new equipment will be placed in service, dramatically expanding the Port’s capacity to service some of the world’s largest container vessels efficiently.

“These cranes are a major investment in the future of Port Freeport and our community,” said Rob Giesecke, Chairman of the Port Freeport Commission. “They will act as a catalyst for future growth, helping us attract new business, create more jobs, and increase operating revenues to keep Port Freeport at zero-tax.”

Towering more than 300 feet high and weighing over 1,600 tons each, the cranes feature the ability to reach across 22 containers wide with a lift above the dock of 178.8 feet. Outfitted with advanced technology, they are designed to handle cargo with greater safety and efficiency, representing one of the most significant equipment upgrades in Port Freeport’s history.

“The addition of the new Super Post-Panamax cranes at the expanded container terminal berths, combined with the substantial completion of the Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project by year’s end, is a defining moment for the Port and a great way to start the Port’s next century,” said Phyllis Saathoff, Executive Director/CEO of Port Freeport. “As we commemorate our Centennial, this achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to developing world-class infrastructure that will benefit our region for many years to come.”

The cranes are expected to be fully operational later this fall. Their delivery during Port Freeport’s Centennial year reflects both the strength of its legacy and the promise of continued opportunity. A commemorative video will be released and made available on the Port’s website, allowing the community to share in their remarkable journey from delivery to installation.

Port Freeport is a leading port in the export of crude oil and natural gas liquids and ranks nationally as 6th in chemicals, 14th in total foreign waterborne tonnage, and 26th in containers. A 2022 Economic Impact Study by Texas A&M Transportation Institute revealed that, nationally, the Freeport Harbor Channel generates 266,300 jobs and has a total economic output of $157.3 billion.

Port Freeport serves Alliera, Atlantic Container Lines, AMPORTS, BASF, Chiquita Fresh N.A., Dole Fresh Fruit, The Dow Chemical Company, Enterprise Products Partners, ExxonMobil, Freeport LNG, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Glovis, Grimaldi Lines, Hoegh Autoliners, Kirby Marine, Linde, MEGlobal, NYK RORO, Phillips 66, Riviana Foods, Inc., Sallaum Lines, Tenaris, U.S Department of Energy, Volkswagen Group of America, and Vulcan Materials Company.

On October 8th, 2025, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) carried out “the Emergency Response Exercise” as a part of training to optimally prepare for any major maritime accidents.

The scenario of the exercise developed assuming that an LPG carrier owned by “K” LINE group collided with a tanker while navigating in Osaka Bay. It confirmed a series of emergency response process by setting crisis-management headquarters upon receiving an incident report, establishing communication channel with the ship management company and conducting a mock press conference at the end of the exercise. During the press conference, journalists asked many questions, creating a tense atmosphere to a real conference.

While growing interest in safety and environmental protection over the world, “K” LINE Group positions the safe operation of vessels as the top priority in fulfilling its social responsibility as a shipping company. Moving forward, it will continue to contribute to society by preparing for unforeseen circumstances through large-scale accident response drills and by ensuring daily safe operations of its vessels.
