Kalmar has signed a Kalmar Care service agreement with Total Terminal International Algeciras S.A. (TTI Algeciras) in Spain to deliver mechanical preventive and corrective maintenance service for their 8 Ship-to-Shore (STS) and 32 Automated Stacking Cranes (ASC).

The order was booked in Kalmar’s Q3 2026 order intake.

Operating as one of two container terminals in the Port of Algeciras Bay, TTI Algeciras was the first semi-automated terminal in Southern Europe and is currently undergoing a major expansion project that will increase its handling capacity to 2.1 million TEUs by 2028.

Strategically located in southern Spain at the Strait of Gibraltar, the common user terminal can service current and next-generation Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs). The facility relies on Kalmar services for fleet maintenance and runs a fleet of 23 Kalmar Straddle Carriers.

Alonso Luque, CEO, TTI Algeciras: “We chose Kalmar to deliver mechanical preventive maintenance for our STS and ASC equipment because we value their professional, highly responsive service team and proven track record. Reliable maintenance is essential to ensure maximum operational efficiency and equipment uptime as we continue servicing next-generation Ultra Large Container Vessels at our terminal.”

Sergio Peralta, Country Director, Spain, Kalmar: “We are very proud to expand our long-standing partnership with TTI Algeciras through this new Kalmar Care service agreement. Our dedicated local team is committed to delivering service excellence and ensuring high equipment availability to support TTI Algeciras as a premier semi-automated transshipment hub in Southern Europe.”

Hoegh and CMG sign landmark contract

0

Höegh Autoliners and China Merchants Group (CMG) have formally signed the Contract to build six additional Aurora Class vessels.

The signing expands one of shipping’s most ambitious fleet renewal programmes and strengthens Höegh Autoliners’ drive towards zero-emission deep-sea shipping.

The contract was signed during a high-level meeting in Naples attended by senior representatives from both companies, including Miao Jianmin, Chairman of China Merchants Group. Chair of Höegh Autoliners, Leif O. Høegh, and Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners.

The six additional dual-fuel LNG and zero-carbon-ready vessels will be built by China Merchants Heavy Industry (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (CMHI) and delivered between 2029 and 2031. With 18 Aurora Class vessels in the programme, Höegh Autoliners is building the fleet needed for a zero- emission future and setting the pace for the transformation of deep-sea shipping.

The Aurora Class vessels can carry up to 9,100 cars and reduce carbon emissions per transported car by up to 58 per cent compared with conventional PCTCs. They have DNV’s ammonia-ready and methanol-ready notations and are designed to be converted to run on future zero-carbon fuels.

Shipping has no alternative but to reduce emissions. Decisions about vessels built today will shape the industry’s emissions for decades. By expanding the Aurora Class programme, Höegh Autoliners is acting now and future-proofing its fleet for the transition to zero.

Leif O. Høegh, Chair of the Board of Directors of Höegh Autoliners, said: “For nearly 100 years, we have developed, adapted and led the way through major changes in shipping. It is in our DNA to keep moving and challenge what is possible. This signing continues that story. We are investing in the vessels that will define our fleet for decades and help move our industry towards zero emissions.”

Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, said: “This is not just another vessel-building agreement. It is a statement about the future of deep-sea shipping and the role we intend to play in shaping it. The Aurora Class is at the heart of our fleet renewal and our path to a sustainable future. By expanding the programme to 18 vessels, we are securing efficient, flexible and future-ready capacity while setting the pace towards zero-emission operations.”

Miao Jianmin, Chairman of China Merchants Group, said:“Höegh Autoliners is a pioneer in international shipping and will celebrate its 100th anniversary next year. We would like to offer our congratulations in advance! Over the past century, Höegh Autoliners has achieved remarkable development and has grown into a leading company in the global RoRo shipping sector. We truly admire what you have accomplished.“

“China Merchants Group is also a pioneer in international shipping and in China’s national shipping industry. Over the 154 years since its founding, it has grown into an innovation-driven, internationally oriented conglomerate with leading competitiveness in port, shipping and logistics as well as shipbuilding. In particular, our subsidiary China Merchants Shipbuilding Industry has world-class PCTC manufacturing capabilities and product quality, ranking No. 1 globally in market share. The cooperation between our two sides is a strong alliance between two century-old enterprises.”

The signing builds on the long-term industrial cooperation between Höegh Autoliners and CMHI.

The yard has already delivered Aurora Class vessels into commercial operation and will build all 18 vessels in the expanded programme.

Höegh Autoliners has also secured an option for four additional vessels on the same terms and reserved construction slots for a further four vessels. This gives the company the flexibility to expand the programme to as many as 26 Aurora Class vessels.

In 2027, Höegh Autoliners will celebrate its 100th anniversary. For nearly a century, the company have embraced innovation, helped move the industry forward and challenged what others believed possible. Höegh Autoliners have never stood still and never accepted the status quo.

The Aurora Class is the latest expression of that mindset. As Höegh Autoliners approaches its first 100 years, the direction is clear: Our road to 100 is the road to zero.

The Bilbao Port Authority to take part in Fruit Attraction

0

The Bilbao Port Authority will once again be taking part in Fruit Attraction, a leading event for operators, retailers and professionals in the fruit and vegetable sector, to be held from 6 to 8 October at IFEMA in Madrid.

The event will feature more than 2,400 companies from 152 different countries, with around 120,000 trade professionals expected to attend.

Andima Ormaetxe, Director of Operations, Commercial Affairs and Logistics at the Bilbao Port Authority, will be one of the speakers at the round-table discussion entitled ‘Innovation in the cold chain: the strategic role of ports in the global trade in fresh produce’, set to take place at 12:30 on 7 October. As Ormaetxe explains, Fruit Attraction is an important event for the Port of Bilbao “as it enables us to engage closely with one of the sectors most in need of efficient, reliable and agile logistics chains. Furthermore, it is an ideal forum for keeping abreast of emerging trends that drive development, whilst promoting sustainability and innovation within the industry, two cornerstones of our Port’s commercial strategy”.

At the same time, the Port of Bilbao will also be present, at Stand 4C1 in Hall 4, within the Spanish State Ports Authority exhibition area. The aim is to further consolidate the position of Bilbao as the Atlantic gateway for foreign trade in fruit and vegetables from the Iberian Peninsula, showcasing its infrastructure, services and the opportunities provided by its two new direct container services to the Americas, specifically with the west coast of South America (with calls at the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama, Peru and Chile), and with Canada. These two services complement the large number of shipping lines already connecting the port to around 900 other ports worldwide, with a strong presence in the United Kingdom, Ireland and northern Europe.

Additionally, the Port of Bilbao has specialised facilities and companies with experience in handling perishable goods. The Border Control Post, equipped with 15 loading/unloading bays, has been fitted with new refrigeration equipment for the cold stores and loading bays, and new laboratories have been added for use by the Official Service of Inspection, Surveillance and Regulation of Foreign Trade. The port’s container terminal is the largest in northern Spain, with 540 reefer container sockets and automated access that streamlines and simplifies all operations, a key feature for this type of traffic.

Likewise, the port boasts ro-ro and multipurpose terminals, as well as perishable goods warehouses. The Frioport cold storage terminal occupies 4,800 m² of floor space, with two freezers operating at -25ºC with a total capacity of 16,300 m³, and three cold rooms with a capacity of 7,500 m³. In addition, Progeco has two facilities for the storage and transfer of goods, with 6,000 m² of positive cold storage space, and offers specialised services for the storage, maintenance and repair of refrigerated containers 365 days a year, thereby preventing interruptions in the cold chain.

In addition to all this, the port offers other competitive advantages, such as weekly container rail services with depots in the provinces of Araba, Barcelona, Burgos, Guadalajara, Huesca, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Pontevedra, Seville, Tarragona, Valencia and Zaragoza.

Ambercor completes major international operation

0

Earlier this year, Ambercor Shipping USA—member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC)—successfully completed a major international transport operation in partnership with fellow WWPC member Origin FGL Lojistik in Türkiye.

Together, the teams coordinated the movement of three oversized storage tanks from Türkiye to the United States.

The shipment consisted of two tanks measuring 40 x 4 x 4.3 meters and weighing 90 tons each, along with a third tank measuring 20 x 4.2 x 4.3 meters and weighing 48 tons. After arrival in the U.S., the units were placed in temporary storage until the construction site was prepared for final delivery.

That final delivery to Rochester took place recently in a spectacular heavy‑transport operation, marking the successful completion of the project. The three tanks were moved with precision and care to their destination, showcasing the expertise, coordination, and reliability of both WWPC partners.

0

CEVA Logistics, a global leader in contract logistics and third-party logistics (3PL), is strengthening its long-standing partnership with Orange, Poland’s leading telecommunications company by extending its contract for comprehensive logistics services through July 31, 2031.

Building on a foundation established in 2008, the renewed agreement marks the next chapter in a long-standing partnership dedicated to operational excellence.

Under the terms of the renewed contract, CEVA will continue to manage Orange Polska’s central distribution center in Ołtarzew, alongside a network of seven regional warehouses. This distributed network ensures rapid nationwide access to the equipment required for the maintenance and expansion of Poland’s telecommunications infrastructure. The comprehensive, end-to-end scope of services guarantees efficient product distribution and vital operational support for Orange’s ongoing network development.

The 12,700-square-meter central distribution center employs approximately 140 people and handles a broad range of products, including mobile phones, routers, set-top boxes and accessories distributed through both B2B and B2C channels. In addition to core logistics operations, CEVA provides specialized value-added services such as quality control, device refurbishment, software updates and reverse logistics.

Over recent years, CEVA has consistently driven efficiency and innovation across the Orange supply chain. Key advancements include the implementation of semi-automation and buffer systems, the launch of an automated conveyor-driven returns processing line, and expanded capabilities to support 5G technologies. Additionally, the digitalization of operational tools and performance monitoring has significantly improved real-time process visibility and overall logistics agility.

Jan-Romain Plault, NEE Contract Logistics Director, CEVA Logistics, said: “Our long-standing relationship with Orange Polska is a testament to what can be achieved through true collaboration and a shared commitment to excellence. Telecommunications logistics requires an incredible amount of agility and precision, and we are proud that Orange continues to trust our teams to power their network infrastructure. We look forward to driving further innovation and value across their supply chain over the next five years.”

HOPA welcomes the community back to the Hamilton side

0

HOPA Ports is pleased to welcome the community back to the Hamilton side of the Canal Piers.

When it appeared the Canal Piers could close permanently, HOPA stepped in to take ownership of the piers, with a commitment to work with the cities of Hamilton and Burlington to preserve public access. HOPA addressed acute surface issues and other immediate safety needs, and began working with both municipalities toward a long-term leasing arrangement that would allow the piers to open seasonally for the public to enjoy. HOPA’s earlier work included addressing surface deficiencies and installing new marine safety ladders.

That work has now enabled the first step toward renewed public access: The Hamilton side of the Canal Piers is now open to the public; Access is during daylight hours only; Visitors are asked to respect all posted signage and safety requirements; The Burlington side remains closed to public access at this time.

The Canal Piers remain important marine infrastructure at the entrance to Hamilton Harbour. HOPA’s role is to ensure their continued function for shipping and navigation while working with our municipal partners to make seasonal public access possible where it can be accommodated safely.

We’re pleased to see the Hamilton Canal Pier reopen and once again give people a unique place to experience the waterfront and the gateway to Hamilton Harbour.

ABL appointed by 50Hertz

0

Energy and marine consultancy ABL has been appointed by German transmission system operator 50Hertz to provide marine warranty survey services to de-risk critical transportation and installation (T&I) operations of subsea and offshore infrastructure for the Ostwind 4 offshore grid connection project.

Ostwind 4 is the fourth project in the Ostwind offshore grid development programme, connecting offshore wind generation in the German Baltic Sea to the mainland. The project will provide a targeted transmission capacity of up to 2 GW, enabling the integration of large volumes of offshore wind power into Germany’s electricity network and supporting wider European decarbonisation goals.

The project includes an offshore converter platform, an onshore converter station, and a 110-kilometre subsea and onshore cable route. Ostwind 4 will be the first project to deploy a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system in the German Baltic Sea, introducing new technical and marine assurance considerations for offshore installation and cable lay operations.

“With a long cable route and the first use of HVDC transmission in the German Baltic Sea, Ostwind 4 is a unique and significant project. ABL brings independent marine assurance expertise and extensive experience supporting complex offshore energy projects in both the Baltic and North Seas. We look forward to working with 50Hertz to support risk mitigation and the safe delivery of this important transmission link.” Tilo Klappenbach, Country Manager, ABL Germany.

ABL’s German team, based in Hamburg, will deliver independent marine warranty survey (MWS) services covering the marine T&I of subsea cables and offshore infrastructure, as well as the installation of the converter platform and associated assets.

The scope of work includes the review and approval of technical documentation and procedures, marine risk and assurance services to assess the suitability of the proposed marine spread, and on-site attendances to witness and approve all warranted operations.

“Since establishing operations in Germany nearly a decade ago, ABL has built a strong track record supporting clients with independent analysis and on-site marine assurance across offshore wind and transmission projects. We look forward to applying this experience on Ostwind 4.” Klappenbach adds.

ABL is part of Oslo-listed Aqualis ASA – a global group of technical consultancies in energy and oceans.

As Europe expands its offshore transmission networks and cross-border interconnections, the safe and efficient delivery of subsea cable infrastructure has never been more critical. From offshore wind export systems and HVDC links to complex cable installation campaigns, these projects demand robust marine assurance and effective risk management.

ABL combines multidisciplinary marine and engineering expertise with a long track record supporting the successful delivery of subsea transmission and cable projects across the North Sea and Baltic Sea, from development and installation through to operations and maintenance.

After 30 years with Mammoet, including 15 years serving in leadership roles including both CEO and COO, Jan Kleijn will leave Mammoet on 1 February 2027.

Jan’s journey is a remarkable example of what is possible at Mammoet. Starting in operations and logistics, he grew through a variety of leadership roles to become its first employee CEO and later COO.

Along the way, he helped shape Mammoet into the global leader in heavy lifting and transport that it is today.

Since 2017, Jan has served Mammoet as its COO, helping to position Mammoet as the undisputed leader in global heavy lifting and transport: financially strong, globally diversified and trusted to deliver.

What has always stood out is Jan’s commitment to people. He has consistently invested in developing talent, strengthening working cultures, and creating opportunities for others to grow.

His decision to hand over responsibilities to a new generation of leaders reflects the same long-term mindset that has characterized his entire career.

“Jan has always believed that executive decisions must be made with the long term in mind – a principle central to Mammoet’s success”, said Mammoet CEO Joost Goderie.

“True to that belief, he is confident the time is right to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership, and that Mammoet is well-positioned for what lies ahead. Every day, our people deliver extraordinary solutions that support critical energy, infrastructure, industrial and offshore projects around the world”.

“As we continue to serve our customers and expand into new industries, we do so on the strong foundation that leaders like Jan have helped to build”.

Over the coming period, Mammoet’s Executive Board of Management will focus on ensuring a careful and effective transition of responsibilities to support continuity and future success.

Rhenus reports 30% growth in exports from Spain to Latin America

0

Based on Rhenus volume data, the company’s export volumes from Spain to Latin America grew by more than 30% year-on-year in 2026 across both air and ocean freight.

This strong performance makes Spain one of the best-performing European markets within Rhenus’ network on the trade corridor and reflects growing interest among Spanish companies in Latin American markets.

“Behind these figures lies a very clear reality: more and more Spanish companies are making Latin America part of their growth strategies. The simultaneous increase in both air and ocean freight volumes demonstrates that their trade activity is strengthening steadily,” says Monica Ruebenkoenig, Route Development Manager at Rhenus Air & Ocean.

Spain plays a key role in Europe’s trade relationship with Latin America thanks to its strong economic, cultural and business ties with the region. Industrial sectors continue to underpin these trade flows, with raw materials and chemicals accounting for more than 60% of ocean export volumes to Latin America.

The trend also coincides with a particularly important moment for bi-regional economic relations. The European Union-Mercosur Agreement, which entered provisional application in May 2026, could further reduce trade barriers and create new opportunities for exporters and importers on both sides of the Atlantic.

“The EU-Mercosur Agreement has the potential to reinforce the positive momentum we are already observing. For many Spanish companies, Latin America is becoming an increasingly relevant destination for trade and investment, and greater economic integration could unlock new possibilities for businesses across Europe while strengthening ties between the two regions,” adds Monica Ruebenkoenig.

Rhenus is also observing a shift in the profile of companies expanding into Latin America. Beyond large multinational corporations, a growing number of Spanish mid-sized industrial companies are incorporating the region into their international growth strategies. As these businesses expand across multiple markets, they increasingly require supply chains that offer greater visibility, flexibility and scalability.

“What we are seeing is that Latin America is becoming a natural part of the growth strategy of many Spanish companies, not only large multinationals but also mid-sized industrial businesses. As these businesses expand across multiple markets, their logistics requirements are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Companies are demanding greater visibility, stronger supply chain control, faster responses to disruptions and, importantly, the ability to scale their operations without having to redesign their logistics setup country by country,” says Marc Ortega, Head of Sales Spain at Rhenus Air & Ocean.

With an extensive operational network across Europe and Latin America, Rhenus provides freight forwarding services, customs solutions, warehousing and end-to-end supply chain management, supporting companies from a wide range of industries in their international operations.

Beyond the trade flows themselves, Spain is playing an increasingly important role as a bridge between Europe and Latin America that continue to operate within different business environments, regulatory frameworks and market dynamics. In this context, companies increasingly value a partner capable of supporting them consistently on both sides of the Atlantic while facilitating alignment between teams, processes and supply chains.

“Spain has unique advantages when it comes to developing trade with Latin America. Cultural and linguistic proximity certainly play a role, but so does the ability to connect different business environments and help companies operate seamlessly across both sides of the Atlantic. The figures we are seeing today may be just the beginning of a broader growth trend in both Europe and Latin America as companies seek new markets and more diversified and resilient supply chains,” concludes Monica Ruebenkoenig.

At a time when global supply chains are undergoing significant transformation and companies are seeking new avenues for international growth, the trends observed by Rhenus confirm the increasing importance of the Europe-Latin America trade corridor and reinforce the company’s role as a strategic partner for businesses looking to expand their activities between the two regions.

Kaleido Logistics celebrates 50th anniversary

0

When Juan Martínez began his business activities at the Port of Vigo in 1976, he did this with a clear commitment to serving companies in the region that had export needs.

It was at that time that Vasco Gallega de Consignaciones was founded, a brand that became a global benchmark in the transportation of natural stone. When the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) was founded more than 27 years ago Juan immediately signed up his company as the member for Spain. This cooperation is ongoing today and also expanded into the network membership for Portugal.

Since then, the second generation, represented by Xoan Martínez, CEO and Xosé Martínez, General Director, continued to develop the business, and new companies have been established within the group. In 2013, the group was renamed KALEIDO IDEAS & LOGISTICS, focusing primarily on the logistics sector. Today the company employs more than 300 people and is active in all fields of logistics, including a special focus on industrial project movements, operates from a direct presence and investments in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, China, Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, and South Africa.

Wolfgang Karau, Director for the Worldwide Project Consortium, was invited to join the two days celebration of Kaleido Logistics 50th anniversary in Vigo last week and said: “Among the many hundreds of guests from near and far away I was honoured to be able to shake hands with Juan Martínez and his sons Xoan and Xosé, expressing congratulations on behalf of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) and also meeting many of their team at that event.” Kaleido treated all invited guests to a sunset party in a famous beach club, a half day cruise in the Bay of Vigo on the next day, followed by a dinner party in the historical restaurant Palacio de la Oliva in Vigo.

TII KAMAG and PANAV launch distribution partnership

0

TII KAMAG, a specialist in vehicle solutions for in-plant transport operations, is expanding its sales network in Europe through a new partnership with the Czech company PANAV.

Going forward, PANAV will distribute TII KAMAG’s yard logistics solutions in the Czech market and provide customers with sales and service support.

PANAV is a very important company in Central and Eastern Europe with 130-years of history. The company offers a broad portfolio of solutions for construction, agriculture, the automotive industry, and logistics. For PANAV, the cooperation with TII KAMAG is therefore a natural extension of its existing product portfolio. While the Czech company has been producing trailers and swap body systems for decades, TII KAMAG’s yard logistics range adds specialised vehicles for efficient and safe manoeuvring operations within logistics centres, industrial plants and distribution hubs. This includes the KAMAG PrecisionTractor and the KAMAG PrecisionMover, both offered in diesel and fully electric versions. While the PrecisionTractor enables fast and efficient semi-trailer handling, the PrecisionMover has been specifically developed for the precise transport of swap bodies in confined yard environments.

“We have had very positive experiences with TII KAMAG so far. The company is a recognised expert in yard and specialised logistics solutions. We have been particularly impressed by the high quality of the vehicles and the strong focus on customer service and after-sales support. These values fit perfectly with our own business philosophy,” says Michal Hampl, Sales Manager at PANAV.

With its established network in the Czech transport industry, PANAV sees significant potential for introducing TII KAMAG vehicles to the market. At the same time, the company expects the partnership to help attract new customers across additional industrial and logistics segments. “In many companies, internal transport and shunting operations are still carried out using conventional road vehicles. Specialised terminal tractors and swap body movers can significantly increase efficiency, safety and productivity,” emphasises Hampl.

TII KAMAG also sees considerable potential for further market development in the Czech Republic: “With PANAV, we have gained a partner that knows the Czech transport and logistics market well and has maintained long-standing customer relationships. Their strong industry presence makes them an ideal partner for expanding our yard logistics business in the region. Together, we want to raise awareness of the benefits of professional yard logistics solutions and further strengthen the TII KAMAG brand in the Czech Republic. We are convinced that our vehicles can make an important contribution to more efficient, safer and more sustainable logistics operations,” says Godehard Eidenhammer, Head of Sales Yard Logistics at TII KAMAG.
