Bleste Sia introduces new Bleste Bucket

Comments Off on Bleste Sia introduces new Bleste Bucket

Bleste Sia introduces its new ‘Bleste Bucket’ bulk handling solution.

The Bleste Bucket is a modern iteration of the traditional bulk grab container, however, this innovative yet simple product improves dry bulk handling for companies looking for efficiency, cost and speed gains.

According to Dinis Hruscovs, Managing Director of the Latvian company, the Bleste Bucket speeds up bulk cargo logistics, especially for terminals, and in a durable way: the bucket is manufactured of a very sturdy quality and with dimensions that suit terminals, trucks, vessels, and (mobile) cranes. “Dump trucks can drive right into the bucket, a unique feature. This means no spill-over onto the pier, reducing waste, dirt and dust in addition to less time and cost spent on cleaning up afterwards. The crane operator then lifts the bucket from the pier onto the vessel to discharge, again with less dust than caused by, for example, orange-peel grabs.”

As MPP vessels often have 30t cranes and the bucket container weighs 10t, its carrying capacity is kept to 20t standard. The Bleste Bucket comes standard with links and chains for immediate hook-up with a crane. However, as the bucket can actually take up 30t of bulk, stronger links and chains can be installed if clients wish to use it at that capacity.

Due to its smart design, there is no need for extra employees or equipment when using the Bleste Bucket – only a crane operator and dump truck driver are needed, perfect for environments where infrastructure or port handling equipment is scarce. Traditionally a bulk grab would need to make multiple rounds to move cargo from a dump truck to a container. Also, when loading a vessel hold, the crane capacity is not fully used. Per cubic meter, the Bleste Bucket providers savings on time spent on loading and discharging, clean-up time and cost, and use of personnel.

The Bleste Bucket is especially useful for scarcely or non-equipped piers, as the Bucket can be handled on a vessel that already has a boom crane which makes for easier handling in those circumstances. In fact, multiple cranes can be used for parallel loading, making it even more cost and time efficient.

This easy to clean container is made from HardoxÂź steel, a high-quality abrasion and impact resistant material sourced in Sweden and known for its strength and resilience. The steel and its structural properties give the Bleste Bucket excellent strength and durability.

In the African market where many piers and quaysides tend to not be equipped with a crane, the Bleste Bucket is an excellent solution. As the crane and bucket are already on the vessel, all that is needed is for the crane to move the Bleste Bucket on the pier for loading. It’s simple, efficient and fills a need in an emerging market.

After testing, the first Bleste Buckets have already been delivered to launching customers. The company is now ready to ship them to customers worldwide. Bleste Buckets can be produced on demand within one month.

Peiner TrÀger relies on KAMAG IHT

Comments Off on Peiner TrÀger relies on KAMAG IHT

The innovative technology, performance and robustness speak heavily in favour of the industrial lift transporters from TII KAMAG.

Dirk LĂŒbbe, in charge of work preparation for internal vehicle maintenance at steel producer Peiner TrĂ€ger, also praised the ongoing development process of the vehicles, their cost-effectiveness as well as the service and spare parts supply.

Triple strength – this is the formula for success behind the collaboration between Peiner TrĂ€ger and TII KAMAG, the TII Group subsidiary and industry expert for in-plant logistics. “Strong technology, strong performance, strong partnership!” is how Dirk LĂŒbbe, responsible for work preparation for internal vehicle maintenance at Peiner TrĂ€ger, described the decision to purchase KAMAG industrial lift transporters (IHT) – a supplier-customer relationship that has existed for several decades now. The steel producer has relied on transport solutions from TII KAMAG since 1984. The Salzgitter AG subsidiary transports various types of steel beams and sheet piling with the KAMAG IHT.

Increasingly more efficient and cost-effective: TII KAMAG continues to develop transporters very much in the interests of its customers

In addition to the vehicle performance and robustness, fleet professional Dirk LĂŒbbe praised the fact that the experts at TII KAMAG have continually developed the industrial vehicles and their cost-effectiveness with the interests of its customers at the forefront of the companyÂŽs philosophy. As one example, he highlighted the enhanced functionality of the steering programmes: “The introduction of the transverse drive mode for driving under transport pallets from the side has led to an enormous optimisation of our plant logistical operations,” he said.

According to Peiner TrĂ€ger, another argument in favour of TII KAMAG is the support customers receive from the special vehicle manufacturer’s service and training experts. Ultimately, logistics in a steelworks must run smoothly around the clock in order to avoid costly downtimes. “TII KAMAG offers us a comprehensive range of services and spare parts supply as well as expert on-site training,” said the company. This is what is meant by a cooperative and professional collaboration. Peiner TrĂ€ger will therefore continue to rely on the TII Group’s products and services in the future according to the vehicle fleet professional.

WALLENIUS SOL and Stena Line collaborate on Latvia to UK service

Comments Off on WALLENIUS SOL and Stena Line collaborate on Latvia to UK service

In cooperation between WALLENIUS SOL and Stena Line, it is now possible to transport goods directly from Liepāja, Latvia, to Tilbury, UK.

This route includes stops in TravemĂŒnde and Zeebrugge/Antwerp. Customers will have the convenience of a single point of contact for the entire freight.

WITH THE RECENT increase to the German road tax rates (MAUT), transporting goods by sea has become an even more cost-effective alternative, offering a more sustainable and economical solution for logistics needs.

By connecting Stena LineÂŽs Liepāja–TravemĂŒnde line with the weekly service of WALLENIUS SOL from TravemĂŒnde to Zeebrugge, Antwerp, and Tilbury, we can provide our customers with a reliable, one-stop solution for efficient freight booking of their cargo. During transshipment in TravemĂŒnde, we keep the cargo on the same equipment, thus avoiding unnecessary transloading.

“This isn’t just a great service for standardised units; it’s perfect for oversized cargo too. Instead of dealing with permits and the high costs of trucking large and heavy cargo, we’re making it easy to shift to seaways. This option also significantly reduces emissions,” says Kai PerĂ€nen, Commercial Manager Central and East Europe, WALLENIUS SOL.

K LINE enters joint research and development agreement

Comments Off on K LINE enters joint research and development agreement

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) has entered into a joint research and development agreement with NIPPON HAKUYO electronics, ltd. ※1) and OPT Gate Co., LTD. (※2) for the development of a new fire detection system for vessels, using optical technology.

In recent years, the transportation of electric vehicles in addition to conventional gasoline vehicles has been increasing in car carriers. It is said that lithium-ion batteries installed in electric vehicles tend to rapidly escalate combustion in the event of a fire, making it crucial to detect fires at an earlier stage and to engage in firefighting activities promptly. This research aims to develop a fire detection system that detects fires earlier and with higher accuracy than existing smoke detectors for vessels, addressing the challenges.

“K” LINE is committed to enhancing safety and ship quality management. We will continue to pursue initiatives for safety in navigation utilizing cutting-edge technologies.

Etablished in 1981, taking over the business of the marine equipment division of the Oki Electric Industry Group. They manufacture and sell various electronic products for vessels, including fire detection system, surveillance camera system, marine automatic telephone exchange, marine public address, and clock system.

Established in 2005, the OPT Gate Co. specialize in manufacturing and design of optical products, with focus on the optoelectronics business. They also provide services such as reliability evaluation, analysis, and technical support for optical products.

Hiab launches the next-gen Hiab wspr

Comments Off on Hiab launches the next-gen Hiab wspr

Hiab, part of Cargotec, launches a new portfolio of emission-free, quiet electric hybrid crane solutions able to operate using power from both the truck engine and a separate electric power take-off (ePTO).

The battery pack for two of three new models in the third-generation ePTO portfolio from Hiab is integrated on the crane base for easier installation and a more compact size. HIAB wspr is available as an option for mid range HIAB loader cranes in the HiPro range.

“A HIAB wspr solution, operated by electric power, is better for people and the planet as it is emission-free and future proofs businesses for stricter regulations. By being emission-free and near silent it also provides the flexibility to operate in low- or no-emission zones, or late at night, thereby increasing business opportunities. This is also providing a healthier working environment for operators and the communities they serve,” says Mattias Berglund, Director, Global Product Management, Special Applications and Digital Products, Loader Cranes Light & Medium, Hiab.

The Standard model, designed for the larger segment of the market, is integrated on the crane base and is capable of 1–2 days of work for most applications.
The Light Duty model, tailored for drop-off applications, is also integrated into the crane base.

The Heavy Duty model caters to customers who work long hours or require extended periods between charging. It is mounted on the truck chassis.
New space-saving installations and improved operational response

The integrated ePTO installation saves space on the truck frame, ideal for modern vehicles where space is limited. Used on an electric truck, the HIAB wspr solution conserves the truck’s battery to provide maximum range and operation time. When using electric power, the hybrid system delivers strength and precision on par with diesel power but with an improved operational response as it has instant torque similar to an electric vehicle. In the event of a depleted battery, customers can switch to the truck engine to complete the task. The HIAB wspr comes with a two-year warranty, but battery cells have five years. The Standard model is available to order now globally, while the Light Duty and Heavy Duty models will be launched later in 2024.

DACHSER expands its global network

Comments Off on DACHSER expands its global network

After the economic boom in logistics resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and worldwide disruptions in supply chains, normalcy returned to the industry in 2023.

DACHSER was among those whose financial year was marked by weak demand for logistics services in the face of significant overcapacity and a sharp decline in air and sea freight rates.

As a result, group revenue decreased to around EUR 7.1 billion, 12.5 percent down compared to the previous year. Transported volumes fell by 4.6 percent to approximately 77.4 million shipments, while tonnage decreased by 6.5 percent to around 40.0 million metric tons.

“Against the backdrop of an ailing global economy and a challenging market environment, supply chains were under considerably less strain in 2023, which allowed us to focus on improving productivity, capacity utilization, and quality. At the same time, we made considerable investments in the expansion of our networks,” says Burkhard Eling, CEO of DACHSER.

Compared to the last pre-crisis year 2019, turnover in 2023 was over 25 percent higher. At that time, DACHSER had reported turnover of around EUR 5.7 billion.

In 2023, the company made strategic acquisitions and established new joint ventures in the Netherlands (MĂŒller Fresh Food Logistics), Australia and New Zealand (ACA International), Japan (50% joint venture DACHSER Japan), Italy (80% joint venture DACHSER & Fercam Italia), South Africa (100% share acquisition DACHSER South Africa), and Sweden (Frigoscandia). Of these, only the acquisitions in the Netherlands and Oceania in the first half of the year are reflected in the revenue figures for 2023.

“In 2023, we deliberately took a countercyclical and farsighted approach to investments: we completed our European groupage network in Italy with the third-largest acquisition of our company history. We tapped key food logistics markets in the Benelux and Nordic countries. Moreover, we now have our own locations in the large overseas markets of Japan and Australia,” Eling says.

Given the conservative economic forecasts, DACHSER still expects low volumes and only slight revenue growth in 2024.

“In pursuit of our goal of becoming the world’s most integrated logistics provider, we are continuing to invest in expanding and enhancing our networks, in digitalization, in climate action, and of course in our employees,” Eling says. In 2023, DACHSER invested more than EUR 244 million; it plans to increase this figure to over EUR 500 million in 2024.

DACHSER’s Road Logistics business field—which comprises the transport and warehousing of industrial and consumer goods (European Logistics) and food (Food Logistics)—increased its revenue by 1.8 percent to EUR 5.8 billion in 2023. By way of contrast, the number of shipments fell by 4.7 percent and transported tonnage by 6.5 percent.
The European Logistics business line generated revenue of EUR 4.4 billion, roughly on a level with the record year of 2022. Business was good across European business units, with Iberia coming out on top with a revenue increase of more than 2 percent. Shipment numbers and tonnage declined overall due to Germany’s weak economy, which also had a negative impact on the close-knit countries in the North Central Europe region.

The Food Logistics business line also had a successful financial year in 2023, recording a 9.7 percent increase in revenue to EUR 1.4 billion. This jump in revenue stemmed from positive business development at branches in Germany as well as from inorganic growth through the acquisition of MĂŒller Fresh Food Logistics in the Netherlands and the purchase of the remaining shares in DACHSER Hungary. In total, DACHSER Food Logistics transported 10.9 million shipments, slightly more than in the previous year, while tonnage fell by 3.8 percent.

In the Air & Sea Logistics business field, the combination of weak demand and substantially more capacity in air and sea freight had a profound effect. Plummeting freight rates were responsible for a drop in revenue of 46.3 percent—compared to 2022—to EUR 1.3 billion. The number of shipments rose by 2.4 percent, while tonnage fell by 7.9 percent.
Contract Logistics—a combination of transport, warehousing, and customer-specific value-added services—also underwent large-scale expansion in 2023. DACHSER invested in additional capacity during the year and increased the number of pallet spaces to just under 400,000. DACHSER now offers a total of more than 3 million pallet spaces across 164 warehouse locations on five continents.

Looking to the future, Eling announced that DACHSER will focus even more on closely integrating the Road Logistics and Air & Sea business fields. “In the coming years, significant growth impetus will come from markets outside Europe. In order to continue serving our customers worldwide with high quality and reliability, we are linking the processes and systems of our two business fields even more closely together in order to develop an integrated global, door-to-door groupage solution that we call ‘Global Groupage’.”

In 2023, DACHSER’s workforce grew by more than 1,100 people to a total of approximately 34,000. This is a reflection of the expansion of sales and IT teams, as well as the acquisitions of MĂŒller Fresh Food Logistics and ACA International.

The shipment centered around a LIEBHERR LTM1130 mobile crane, measuring 14825 x 2750 x 4000 mm and weighing 73 tons, procured by Modus LM’s client from a Finnish company.

Prior to its transit to Greece, Modus LM’s client meticulously inspected the crane. The engineers and the seller mutually agreed that the crane would be delivered to the Port of Helsinki, with payment from the buyer to the seller to be completed upon its arrival.

Upon receiving a request from the buyer to ensure the safe export of the crane from Finland, Modus LM was tasked with conducting an external check to assess its condition and subsequently issue a FCR and a T2L. To guarantee the execution of these crucial steps in Finland, Modus LM partnered with PLA member NTG Air & Ocean OY, who delivered the required services promptly and with the utmost professionalism.

Despite encountering challenges with the weight of the cargo and the extended transit time via Finnlines and Grimaldi, the crane’s successful delivery to Piraeus, Greece, stands as a testament to the reliability of the services provided by Modus Logistics Management and NTG Air & Ocean Oy.
