TII KAMAG presents its first all-electric terminal tractor

0

With the ePrecisionTractor 201 (ePT 201), TII KAMAG presents for the first time a fully electric terminal tractor developed for the flexible transport of semi-trailers in yard logistics.

The vehicle is based on the well-established PT series and uses an electro-mechanical drive system that combines precise manoeuvring with high energy efficiency.

The new KAMAG ePT 201 replaces the hydrostatically driven diesel version with an electro-mechanical system with an integrated direct power transmission. This has resulted in exceptionally smooth and precise handling which is ideal for picking up trailers or when manoeuvring in tight spaces.

“With the ePT 201, we can offer our customers an electrical alternative for use in depots that combines economic efficiency and sustainability.” The ePT 201 is a practical solution for those companies that want to electrify their internal transport processes but without compromising on performance and availability,” emphasised Godehard Eidenhammer, Head of Sales Yard Logistics at TII KAMAG.

The KAMAG ePT 201 has been designed for use in logistics centres and production plants. It operates with zero local emissions and low noise thus making it particularly suitable for night shifts or noise-sensitive operating areas. At the same time, the vehicle supports companies in implementing ESG and sustainability strategies in intralogistics.

The KAMAG ePT 201 is equipped with a lithium-ion high-voltage battery system that is available in two versions, 160 kWh and 240 kWh. Furthermore, the vehicle uses active thermal management which automatically regulates the temperature of the battery and driver’s cab. This ensures that the performance remains constant even in conditions with extreme outside temperatures ranging between -20 °C and +45 °C. With a charging function of up to an optional 150 kW DC, the KAMAG ePT 201 can recharge its batteries during short breaks or shift changes. Recuperation during braking further reduces fuel consumption and wear as well as increasing the range.

The spacious cab provides a clear workspace for drivers through its ergonomically optimised seating position and intuitively arranged controls with fingertip operation. All essential functions are directly accessible whereby the view to the front and fifth wheel coupling has been optimised for ensuring precise under-trailer manoeuvring and shunting.

Sarens supports expansion of facility in Ghent

0

Sarens recently completed the heavy lifting and transport of a 45-tonne tank for PVS Chemicals at the company’s Ghent plant, supporting its increased production capacity.

The operation was performed in collaboration with Engineering Experts, who were responsible for engineering and project management.

To execute the lift, Sarens selected an AC700 crane in HaSSL configuration (500T), a 12-line SPMT with a truck, a 70-tonne auxiliary crane, and ballast trucks. The configuration was chosen for its efficiency and adaptability to the site’s limited space, where assembling the SPMT on-site would have been less practical.

The AC700 was delivered and assembled the day before the lift to ensure readiness for the main operation. On the morning of the installation, the SPMT and load-spreading platforms were positioned on-site, requiring two additional transports. The tank measured 16,5 metres in height and 8,7 metres in width, and its installation posed a logistical challenge due to limited access and an underground channel that restricted crane positioning. Sarens resolved this by carefully distributing loads and stabilising the configuration with additional mats and ballast.

Despite cloudy conditions on the day of execution, the operation was completed safely and within schedule. The newly installed tank will enhance production at PVS Chemicals, a global supplier of basic and specialised chemical products serving industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, iron and steel, agriculture, water treatment, and food processing.

The chemical sector is a cornerstone of Belgium’s economy, generating €75 billion in revenue, accounting for one-third of national exports, and creating nearly 100.000 direct jobs. The country ranks as the third-largest chemical exporter in the European Union, with €62 billion in exports in 2024, according to Eurostat.

At a time of steady growth and innovation in this sector, Sarens continues to play a key role in supporting the infrastructure behind Belgium’s industrial success. With its extensive fleet of state-of-the-art cranes, specialised transport equipment, and highly skilled teams, Sarens provides tailor-made solutions for complex lifting and transport operations.

Royal Cargo Vietnam delivers three major breakbulk shipments

0

In August, Royal Cargo Vietnam carried out three major breakbulk shipments for the same project, totalling over 15,500cbm of heavy lift and oversized cargo bound for Australia.

The team handled the entire process from factory transportation from multiple sites to port handling and vessel loading under tight sailing schedules, underscoring Royal Cargo’s expertise in coordinating simultaneous large-scale logistics operations.

The multi-shipment project tested every aspect of planning, coordination, and execution. The cargo originated from multiple factories and loading points, including one in Hai Phong and three fabrication sites in the Phu My area, with each location presenting its own challenges. Some pieces had unconventional dimensions that required specialised lifting and stowage plans, while others faced tight readiness timelines that pushed loading windows to the limit.

At Phu My, the team worked in strict factory conditions, handling complex components requiring meticulous planning and execution. Meanwhile, in Hai Phong, some of the cargo was not ready when the vessel arrived, prompting swift coordination among surveyors, port teams, and vessel agents to remain on schedule.

Despite these hurdles, Royal Cargo Vietnam maintained full control, ensuring all three shipments were executed safely, efficiently, and on schedule – a reflection of strong preparation, communication, and adaptability.
The shipments covered two major ports in Vietnam before the final discharge in Henderson, Australia. The first leg at Hai Phong Port involved the loading of 118 packages of ‘thickeners’ in mid-August, followed by operations at Phu My Port, where 190 packages of pipe racks, structural steel, and steel mixer settlers were loaded towards the end of the month.

In total, the project consisted of 308 packages, with a combined volume of 15,748.90cbm and a weight of 2,144.052mtn. The primary challenge stemmed from numerous oversized components requiring specialised rigging, transportation, and securing methods.

Executing simultaneous breakbulk operations of this scale called for teamwork, precision, and persistence. Despite weather disruptions, shifting timelines, and technical constraints, the Royal Cargo Vietnam team delivered exceptional results from start to finish.

The successful completion of these synchronised breakbulk charters demonstrates Royal Cargo’s ability to accurately and reliably manage complex, large-volume logistics, reaffirming an unmistakable mark of operational strength in regional project logistics.

Emirates SkyCargo transports Arab Satellite 813

0

Working in close coordination with the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) at UAE University, Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo arm of the world’s largest international airline, transported Arab Satellite 813 from Dubai to its launch site.

The collaboration marks a milestone in the UAE’s space journey and highlights the unrivalled strength of the UAE’s global logistics capabilities.

Leveraging the airline’s recently launched Aerospace and Engineering vertical, Emirates SkyCargo provided stringent levels of environment control and security throughout Arab Satellite 813’s earthbound journey. From NSSTC’s Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) facility in Al Ain, the satellite was trucked to Emirates SkyCargo’s state-of-the-art facility at Dubai World Central via a bespoke branded truck. Upon arrival, the satellite was housed in a dedicated temperature-controlled area, before it boarded EK9874, a Boeing 777 freighter, to Shanghai, China.

Commenting on the shipment, Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo said, “Given the highly technical and irreplaceable value of Arab Satellite 813, the National Space Science and Technology Center needed to be certain that the transportation would be handled with precision, care and reliability – the cornerstones of our Aerospace and Engineering vertical. Working in lockstep with various stakeholders before, during and after the shipment, we provided a bespoke and seamless multi-modal solution all the way from Al Ain to Shanghai. We are proud to support the UAE’s bold and ambitious space endeavours.”

The Arab Satellite 813 is an observation satellite which is intended to monitor earth, the environment and the climate. It was initiated under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, as a landmark initiative to enhance Arab cooperation in space and opens the opportunity for Arab scientists and researchers to actively participate in the development and use of space technologies.

Commenting on this milestone, Mr. Ali Al Shehhi, Director of the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) at UAEU, said: “The Arab Satellite 813 represents a milestone in the trajectory of joint Arab space efforts and demonstrates the Center’s ability to lead and execute advanced space projects that elevate the UAE’s position among leading nations in this vital sector. At NSSTC, we take pride in our role in advancing scientific research, technological development, and the training of national talent capable of shaping the future of space. Together with our strategic partners, we are working to lay the foundations for an integrated and sustainable Arab space ecosystem.”

Emirates SkyCargo is no stranger to space exploration. In 2018, the airline was a part of UAE history as it chartered the first satellite developed and built by Emirati engineers in the UAE, KhalifaSat, from Dubai to South Korea. Building on this expertise, Emirates SkyCargo then uplifted the Amazonina-1 satellite from Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil to Chennai, India, where it was launched to monitor the ecosystem of its namesake, the Amazon Rainforest, to name just a few missions the airline has supported.

Celebrating the UAE’s visionary national space initiatives and the synergies between aviation and aerospace, Emirates also hosted a one-off flight in collaboration with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC). An Emirates A380 was emblazoned with a specially designed astronaut decal as national heroes and astronauts, Dr Sultan AlNeyadi and Hazzaa AlMansoori, joined as guests of honour.

3PL executes a complex operation at the Port of Gdansk

0

In November 2025, 3PL Poland, represented by Łukasz Miłek, Commercial Manager, together with 3PL Industrial Projects, represented by Ilya Goncharov, FCILT, Head of Industrial Projects, and Niels Chr. V. Andersen, Group Project Director | BDM, successfully executed a complex heavy-lift operation at the Port of Gdansk, Poland.

The project involved a large yacht moulding module that was transported from the factory to the port by barge and then directly transferred from the barge onto the ocean vessel M/V BBC NILE, bound for the United Arab Emirates.

The operation required precise coordination and involved multiple critical stages.

Loading of the cargo onto the barge was performed with a mobile heavy crane starting at 06:00 in the morning, followed by barge transportation to the seaport, where the heavy yacht moulding module was directly transshipped from the barge (ponton) onto the ocean breakbulk vessel using the vessel’s heavy-lift cranes.

All operations were successfully completed by around 22:00 in the evening, allowing the vessel to sail the same day.

Thanks to seamless collaboration between all involved parties, including the terminal, stevedores, surveyors, and vessel crew – the operation was completed efficiently and safely, marking another well-executed heavy-lift project in Poland.

This project demonstrated 3PL Group’s strong capabilities in direct transshipment, barge-to-ocean vessel transfer, and heavy cargo handling, highlighting the company’s focus on precision planning, teamwork, and safety excellence.

“It was a privilege to be onsite and support the coordination between all parties involved. A long day’s work, but a great example of teamwork and precision logistics in action,”
said Ilya Goncharov, FCILT, Head of 3PL Industrial Projects, who served as the onsite project manager during the operation.

3PL Group continues to strengthen its position in the heavy-lift, breakbulk and project logistics market, with ongoing operations across Northern, Central and Eastern Europe and a growing focus on overseas industrial projects.

CEVA inaugurates new Amazon centre in Brazil

0

CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, recently inaugurated its new Amazon fulfillment center in Santa Maria, Federal District, Brazil.

The new facility is located approximately 30 kilometers from Brazil’s capital city, Brasilia, confirming the area as a strategic logistics hub for the central-west region of the country.

The new 67,000 m² fulfillment center will support up to 135,000 packages daily, helping Amazon Brazil to quickly and reliably reach its end-customers.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place earlier this month, bringing together Federal District Governor Ibaneis Rocha, public authorities, Amazon executives and CEVA leadership to celebrate Amazon’s 15th fulfillment center in Brazil and second in the Federal District. The new operation will support the local economy with more than 1,400 new job opportunities and marks a strategic milestone for the region’s eCommerce segment, further strengthening the relationship between CEVA Logistics and Amazon.

The new fulfillment center showcases CEVA’s commitment to operational excellence through advanced inventory management systems and intelligent integration of storage and control systems. Designed for maximum agility and accuracy, the facility prioritizes a 24-hour service standard with full safety and reliability, ensuring rapid order processing and seamless coordination between inventory and transport operations. The fulfillment center incorporates sustainability practices that promote responsible resource use and reduce environmental impact, aligning with both companies’ sustainability commitments.

CEVA’s team completed the operational implementation in just 11 weeks, demonstrating exceptional project execution to meet Amazon’s business requirements. By leveraging process governance, automation, analytics and rigorous safety standards, the new facility delivers significant gains in productivity and predictability across the supply chain, ultimately enhancing service quality for Amazon’s end consumers throughout Brazil.

Alejandro Olivera, Contract Logistics Leader, LATAM, CEVA Logistics, said: “This inauguration confirms Brasília as a strategic logistics hub for the Central-West region of the country. Together with customers like Amazon, we continue to raise service standards through safety, efficiency and technology, always focused on the end consumers. Partnerships like this accelerate local job creation, strengthen the supplier ecosystem and advance end-to-end sustainable logistics solutions. We are committed to supporting this growth with scalable solutions, robust governance and a culture of continuous improvement.”

Ricardo Pagani, Director of Operations, Amazon Brazil, said: “We are excited about the expansion of our operations, which supports the creation of more than 1,400 job opportunities in the Federal District. We want to continue contributing to the local economy by reinventing logistics through artificial intelligence and technology solutions.”

CEVA Logistics is quickly expanding its contract logistics operations across the country to support rapid industry growth. In the last 12 months, CEVA has increased its warehousing footprint by more than 150,000 square meters, reaching a total of nearly 300,000 square meters across Brazil. Thanks to an investment of more than R$100 million, CEVA’s expansion plans include adding an additional 120,000 square meters by the end of 2025 and 200,000 square meters more the following three years, all with the goal of 620,000 square meters of contract logistics space across the region by 2028. CEVA’s rapid expansion reinforces its position as one of Brazil’s top contract logistics providers, with both dedicated and multi-customer sites, supporting sectors such as eCommerce, technology, automotive, beauty and healthcare.

K LINE conducts fire extinguishing test

0

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) conducted a fire extinguishing test by burning a scrapped, gasoline vehicle in the fire extinguishing test building of the Technical Center of Kashiwa Tech Co., Ltd. (Bando City, Ibaraki Prefecture) on October 17, 2025.

In the test, it was assumed that a fire would occur inside the hold of a car carrier. The goal was to learn how to extinguish a fire once it started and to establish new firefighting tactics.

Twenty-five people in total participated on the day of the test, practicing the use of existing fire hose nozzles used on car carriers and a new fire hose nozzle with better spray performance to spray water on and put out the fire. With the cooperation of the Maritime Disaster Prevention Center, the participants also watched a demonstration of the use of a specially shaped nozzle which is capable of spraying to extinguish a fire inside a vehicle.

This was the first time that “K” LINE set a car alight during a fire extinguishing test. It was a valuable opportunity for the participants to see how fast a vehicle can catch fire and to experience effective firefighting tactics used on a burning car. We will also consider conducting verification tests aimed at enhancing fire response capabilities for a diverse range of vehicle types, including electric vehicles.

As the risks of fires in car carriers have been drawing attention in recent years, “K” LINE will continue to work to enhance its fire safety measures and continue to be committed to protecting the valuable cargo of its customers.
