Sarens was asked by Hutchison Ports ECT Rotterdam to move five quay cranes.

The original operation was planned for 20 days. During execution the client asked if Sarens could reposition five additional cranes in five extra days. Sarens rose up to the challenge, teamed up with ECT and successfully moved ten quay cranes.

Sarens shortlisted 80 axle-lines of Kamag K2400ST and MB3000x1500 with cantilever beams. The beams are designed in-house to particularly transport quay cranes. Each crane was 95m high and weighed 1840T. Some cranes had to be moved around 4km to be repositioned.

Project Manager, Willem Ditmer says, “Our crew of six and our reliable SPMTs worked together with the ECT team relentlessly for long days moving around the long quay side of ECT to successfully complete the relocation of the quay cranes.”

Projectmanager ECT, Robert Stein says, “ At the last moment, we decided to add an extra five crane transportations to the five already planned, in about the same time frame. We really appreciatie the flexibility of Sarens to make this all happen in a safe way”

Elecaustro S.A., which is based in Cuenca, Ecuador, was commissioned to plan and construct the country’s largest wind farm in Loja Province.

The wind farm called Minas de Huascachaca comprises 14 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 50 MW.

The contract to transport the turbines was awarded to the Colombian special transport and lifting company Transportes Montejo. Among much else, Montejo’s modern fleet includes a Goldhofer FTV 550 blade lifter, which comes with a load moment of 550 mt. That makes it the ideal solution for the transportation of long and heavy wind turbine blades of the latest generation with a rotor diameter of up to 3.4 m. The great advantage of these blade lifter is that the blades can be freely rotated around their own axis in order to keep them out of the wind during transportation. Also, the blades can be angled as required up to a maximum angle of 60° to pass over or under obstacles. This is the key to enormous savings as it minimizes the need to remove or make changes to the roadside infrastructure. With the bladelifter FTV 550 mounted on a Goldhofer THP/SL heavy-duty module, Transportes Montejo was able to transport the 73 m long blades for a 4 MW Dongfang wind turbine up the winding road leading to the construction site on a mountain plateau in the Andes mountain region. In such mountainous terrain, the Goldhofer FTV blade lifter gave a convincing demonstration of its capabilities, with the Transportes Montejo crew skillfully raising and turning the blades to avoid contact with the steep slopes as the combination made its way up to the pass.

Hiab, part of Cargotec, launches the new HIAB iQ.958 HiPro heavy loader crane with the new advanced operating system SPACEevo to improve productivity and safer operation.

Due to its design, it delivers an excellent lift-to-weight ratio. The crane will be exhibited by Hiab at IAA, pavilion P35, in Hannover, Germany, 20 – 25 September.

The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a 90 tonne metre ™ heavy range crane. It is the second model in the iQ range with the advanced technology platform introduced with the HIAB iQ.1188 HiPro.

The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro structurally builds on the V12-Power boom shape design for the crane and the JIB. The result is an extremely light and compact crane with an under two metres side section that can be installed on smaller trucks within the 4 axle 32 tonnes GVW (gross vehicle weight) category, leaving plenty of loading capacity that can reduce the number of trips needed. The lower vehicle weight when unloaded and subsequent need for fewer trips contributes to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions in the customer’s operation.

The crane uses the new control system SPACEevo that enables precise operations even at high speeds. It also offers advanced safety and productivity features like VSL+ (Variable Stability Logic PLUS) that can maximise the lifting capacity by calculating the stability according to the position of the stabiliser legs and the actual total weight of the truck.

The DLC-S (Dynamic Load Chart) lets the operator set up the crane quicker by simulating the load capacity before opening the stabilisers, avoiding lost time in finding the correct stabiliser position for maximum lifting. This can be done from the comfort of the truck cabin, particularly handy when operating in adverse weather conditions.

The standard XS Drive remote control can be substituted with the new optional CombiDrive 4 remote control. It enhances the crane operation with new safety features such as Confirm View to find the best field of view, three high definition and bright colour displays and a long-lasting battery with single-user operator personalisation settings.

“The HIAB iQ.958 HiPro is a technologically advanced crane for its category, offering great performance for a wide variety of lifts both in horizontal and vertical positions. The crane offers among the best in class lifting performance when using the eighth extension in combination with the JIB with six extensions (JIB 155Q). This maximises the available JIB power to provide superior load capability,” says Marcel Boxem, Director, Global Product Management, Loader Cranes Heavy & Super Heavy, Hiab.

The new models will also be offered in non-CE versions, equipped with the control system Space X4 and the optional CombiDrive 3 remote control.

WALLENIUS SOL’s new record-breaking vessel Botnia Enabler was christened in the Port of Skellefteå.

BOTNIA ENABLER IS NOT ONLY the world’s biggest ice-rated ConRo vessel with multi-fuel operation, but also the biggest ship that has ever called at the Port of Skellefteå.

It was with much due pomp and ceremony that invited guests, politicians and representatives of trade and industry bore witness to the ship’s godmother Ulla Löfven when she according to tradition broke a bottle of champagne against the ship’s 242 metre long hull.

“I am honored to be given an assignment like this. I myself have a background in this industry and with climate change in mind it is important that we use the shipping industry” said Ulla Löfven.

The name Botnia Enabler has its origins in WALLENIUS SOL’s business idea of being an enabler for the base industry in the Gulf of Bothnia, and according to managing director Ragnar Johansson, it was natural that the Port of Skellefteå should host the ceremony.

“The ship sails under the Swedish flag and we are a Swedish company, so we were keen to christen her in Sweden. We began calling at Skellefteå regularly last year, so it seemed natural to carry out the ceremony here as a tribute to the magnificent industrial investments in the north.”

Botnia Enabler will share the Zeebrugge-Antwerp-Kokkola-Oulu-Kemi-Skellefteå-Travemünde route with her sister ship, Baltic Enabler. This means weekly calls with a total capacity of 6,442 lane metres (962 TEU) where trailers, containers, industrial freight and project freight will rub shoulders.

“We have promised to deliver a sustainable infrastructure for northern Sweden and Finland. Now we have kept that promise” concluded WALLENIUS SOL’s board chairman Anders Boman, before godmother Ulla Löfven wished the ship and its crew a happy and safe passage across the seas.DEME concludes MoU with Havfram AS

SAL Heavy Lift, one of the world’s leading maritime heavy lift and project cargo carriers, has signed building contracts for four firm plus two optional new generation heavy lift ships with Wuhu Shipyard, China.

This joint newbuilding programme involving SAL Heavy Lift and partner Jumbo Shipping is called Orca Class.

Christian Johansen, Global Commodity Manager – Ports & Transportation, Offshore at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, says: “We are excited to continue and build on our strategic partnership with SAL Heavy Lift with their Orca Class programme. We see their ultra-efficient profile and carbon-neutral potential as a perfect fit with our aim of decarbonising our supply chain. As companies, we share a lot of the same values – and we are happy to embark on this journey together with SAL.”

Thomas Mortensen, Head of Transport Project Execution, Offshore at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, adds: “We are especially impressed with the flexibility these new vessels represent. Our business is complex, challenged by rapid globalisation as well as the increasing size and weight of our turbine components. The need for flexibility is higher than ever, and the Orcas meet several of our anticipated medium- to long-term transportation challenges. Best-in-class intake, speed and lifting capabilities are all key factors in our decision to work with SAL on the two first Orcas.”

Jan-Peter Esbensen, Managing Director of SAL Denmark, has been involved in the discussions with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy from the very beginning: “It is great to see how an initial idea is now turning into such great and trend-setting vessels. We look forward to growing our cooperation with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy in the years to come.”

Ice class notation 1A, a Polar Code certification and the reduced design temperature of the hull and equipment allow the ships to safely operate in cold conditions as well.

Two 800 t Liebherr cranes specifically designed for this ship type can handle cargo items weighting up to 1,600 t in tandem. “Despite extremely high crane pedestals of more than 11 m, the overall crane height and thereby the vessel’s air draft remains at just about 38 m. This makes it possible for the vessel to pass Kiel Canal and enter strategically important ports worldwide,” explains Sebastian Westphal, CTO at SAL Heavy Lift. “The fully electric cranes are perfect for the vessel’s intelligent energy management and recovery system. This is based on a battery storage system that can be used together with conventional gensets in hybrid mode, or in combination with the vessel’s shore power connection for fully electric port operations.”

Developed in house, the ship type design expertly combines the experience and know-how from decades of complex heavy lift project execution with the latest technologies. Jakob Christiansen, Head of Research & Development, Retrofit & Newbuilding at SAL Heavy Lift, comments: “We developed and optimised various vessel details, especially in relation to the hull form and propulsion system, in close cooperation with the renowned Naval Architecture faculty at the Hamburg University of Technology. Recent tank performance tests revealed that we have created one of the world’s most efficient hull forms for a vessel of this size – outmatching all existing heavy lift and MPP vessels.”

In addition to the optimised hull design, the Orca vessels will have an innovative propulsion system consisting of compact and efficient main engines and a diesel- electric booster function. Compared to other heavy lift vessel designs, this hybrid setup features the widest available range of economic speed settings and redundancy.

At a service speed of 15 kn, the vessels will consume significantly less than 20 t of fuel oil per day – similar to far smaller-sized and geared MPP vessels. Alternatively, the vessels will be able to trade at a slow, ultra-efficient speed of 10 kn at 6 t while still being able to reach a maximum speed of 18.5 kn for urgent deliveries – if a windfarm installation vessel is waiting for an urgent component delivery, for example.

The vessels are equipped with dual-fuel engines, which means that they can use methanol as an alternative fuel. If green methanol becomes available in key ports as anticipated towards the end of the decade, the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance will be able to offer their customers carbon-neutral transport solutions – a defined environmental protection goal that both companies share. For more information on SAL and Jumbo’s sustainability goals, please see the latest Harren Group sustainability report – now available online.

NaMKü (“Sustainable Modernisation of Coastal Vessels”) funding from the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport allows SAL to utilise pioneering technology in the vessels innovative power train with the target on highest efficiency and significant emission reduction. Among other eco-friendly effects, this will lower NOx emissions 10 percent below the IMO Tier 3 level while undercutting EEDI phase 3 limits for CO2 emissions by 21 percent.

Project Logistics Alliance’s Indonesian member, PT Total Movements International, transported a 786MVA (323MT) model transformer and its accessories by multimodal means from Singapore to its foundation in Indonesia.

Total Movements’ execution involved the ship-to-barge transfer of the cargo at Singapore, rolling off the main unit at Tanjung Jati jetty, and transporting the entire consignment by road to the project site.

This project required lashing and securing the transformer, which weighed 323 metric tons on the barge. Also, a safe jacking and rolling of the cargo off the barge.

The challenging part of the project was that critical manoeuvres were required because the road route required multiple turns. Moreover, they had to route the cargo through uphill/downhill roads. A suitable technical study was also conducted to ensure the cargo’s safety.
