0

Sumitomo Corporation, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (““K” LINE”), and NYK Bulkship (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“NYK Line”) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study and explore the ownership of a New-build Ammonia Bunkering Vessel (“N-ABV”) for application in Singapore.

This collaboration underscores the parties’ shared commitment to enabling the development of a robust ammonia supply chain in Singapore, supporting its emerging role as a global hub for low- or zero-carbon marine fuels.

This MoU is in support of the ammonia value chain development initiative that is jointly led by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (“MPA”) and the country’s Energy Market Authority (“EMA”). The initiative aims to facilitate the adoption of low- or zero-carbon ammonia for both power generation and marine fuel applications, strengthening Singapore’s energy transition strategy while also advancing maritime decarbonization efforts.

In October 2025, MPA and EMA appointed a consortium led by Keppel Ltd to conduct the next phase of the project to provide a low- or zero-carbon ammonia solution on Jurong Island for power generation and bunkering. As a member of the consortium, and sole recipient of the Research and Innovation grant by MPA under the Maritime Innovation and Technology Fund (“MINT Fund”), Sumitomo Corporation will lead a FEED study to advance its bunkering proposal, laying the technical and commercial groundwork for eventual implementation.

Sumitomo Corporation, “K” LINE, and NYK Line will now collaborate closely to advance detailed studies on the N-ABV covering the vessel’s basic design, technical specifications, safety & operational requirements, as well as the structuring & ownership model tailored to the Singapore ammonia bunker market.

TII marks ten years in India

0

Ten years ago, TII India Pvt. Ltd. commenced production in Bawal, near New Delhi.

The site began operations in 2015 with the assembly of pre-assembled modules and has since developed into an integral part of the TII Group’s global value chain. With around 350 employees, a production area of 30,000 m² and several thousand axle lines delivered, the site has evolved into a strategic heavy transport hub serving customers in India and international markets.

From the outset, TII India was fully integrated into the TII Group’s global production network and operated according to the same quality standards as the German facilities. This early alignment created the basis for its international market integration and positioned Bawal as a strategic manufacturing location within the TII Group. “When we started in 2015, our focus was on building a stable industrial base with the highest standards. Today, Bawal is a central pillar of our global strategy,” explains Miguel Fernandes, Managing Director TII India. “We have evolved from a production site serving the Indian market into an internationally connected heavy transport hub.”

At the heart of this development is the modular SCHEUERLE K25 system. As a comprehensive modular platform solution, it forms the technical basis for a wide range of heavy transport applications, from infrastructure and energy projects to large-scale industrial components.

Depending on market requirements, the modules are configured to comply either with national regulations or internationally recognised homologation standards. Since 2022, TII India has also been manufacturing variants that meet UNECE requirements, enabling deployment in highly regulated markets.

This provides customers with a globally deployable transport solution that can be configured according to project-specific and regulatory requirements without altering the fundamental technical architecture. This consistency reduces complexity, enhances investment security and strengthens the system’s applicability across global markets. The K25 system is complemented by a broad range of additional components and project-specific accessories, allowing further applications and the implementation of individual transport requirements.

“Our goal is to offer a globally standardized transport solution that can be flexibly configured and expanded,” says Fernandes. “This creates planning certainty and gives our customers the opportunity to further develop their applications on a stable and reliable technical foundation.”

In its early years, TII India set important technological benchmarks. In 2016, just one year after the company’s founding, the Bawal site delivered its first telescopic SCHEUERLE Extender units for applications such as the transport of rotor blades of up to 62 metres in length, responding at an early stage to growing demand from the energy sector.

As engineering expertise expanded, projects with significantly higher payload capacities followed. In 2018, TII India delivered the first girder bridge manufactured in India for its customer Nabros Transport Pvt. Ltd., with a payload capacity of up to 500 tonnes. In 2019, a further girder bridge was supplied to Parabia Transport Pvt. Ltd., designed for payloads of up to 550 tonnes.

Projects in the 500-tonne range marked a new dimension of technological capability. They represented a decisive step in the site’s maturation and reinforced TII India’s position as an engineering centre for demanding heavy transport applications in international markets.

Today, transport solutions manufactured in Bawal are not only in operation in India, but also across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe. “Trusted worldwide – that is now a reality,” emphasises Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of the TII Group. “The fact that around two thirds of TII India`s revenue now comes from international projects highlights the strategic importance of this site within our global network.”

With the opening of a new office in Pune in 2025, market presence has been further strengthened. Pune consolidates project engineering, sales and service activities for India and parts of Asia and works in close coordination with the production site in Bawal. The Bawal site also serves as a service hub for TII SCHEUERLE products in India and Southeast Asia. This structure shortens response times and enhances customer proximity from project planning through to after-sales support.

In recent years, Bawal has also developed into an important meeting point for international partners and dealers. Regular open house, partner and dealer events at the site bring together customers and sales partners from various regions. In addition to exchanging insights on current projects, discussions focus on product developments, market trends and technological innovation. These events underline the role of TII India as an active part of the global network – not only in production, but also in knowledge transfer and the strategic development of the brand.

Looking ahead, the TII Group sees significant growth potential in the region, particularly in the field of modular heavy transport systems. “The future belongs to modular solutions,” underlines Filippo Baldassari. “As projects increase in size or complexity, scalable transport solutions that can meet a wide range of operational and regulatory requirements become essential.”

For TII India, this means building on its engineering strength, further developing its modular transport systems and reinforcing its position in international markets.

ABL nails Hammerhead marine operations contract

0

ABL has been contracted to provide marine warranty survey services for the marine operations and installation activities on ExxonMobil’s Hammerhead development offshore Guyana.

The Hammerhead project is intended to be the seventh of multiple developments in the Stabroek block, approximately 200 kilometres offshore Guyana, in water depths ranging from 850 to 1,725 metres.

It includes 18 production and injection subsea wells and the deployment of a spread-moored floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) that will offload directly to conventional export tankers in a tandem mooring configuration. Produced gas will be transferred to the gas-to-energy pipeline system for disposition at either the Unity facility or the onshore gas-to-energy plant.

“The Hammerhead project will be a follow-on from our involvement with ExxonMobil’s Liza 1, Liza 2, Payara, Yellow Tail and Uaru. All are similar projects in the same development block, with the same philosophy and installation method. Our Hammerhead team blends fresh technical insight with continuous, in-country experience in Guyana,” says David Ballands, ABL’s director of energy services in the Americas region.

The project will be managed out of the ABL Houston office with support from ABL’s worldwide network of group offices, including Calgary, Paris, Rotterdam, and Rio de Janeiro.

The offshore campaign will be performed during 2027 and 2028.

ABL has a long-standing relationship with ExxonMobil, having delivered marine warranty survey services on more than 50 projects for the operator and its subsidiaries.

“This extensive history means we are deeply familiar with ExxonMobil’s standards, policies, and supplier expectations. Our consistent performance and reliability have earned us a reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding offshore operations,” adds Guy Noble, Senior Principal Naval Architect at ABL.

The project will be managed out of the ABL Houston office with support from ABL’s worldwide network of group offices, including Calgary, Paris, Rotterdam, and Rio de Janeiro.

The offshore campaign will be performed during 2027 and 2028.

ABL has a long-standing relationship with ExxonMobil, having delivered marine warranty survey services on more than 50 projects for the operator and its subsidiaries.

“This extensive history means we are deeply familiar with ExxonMobil’s standards, policies, and supplier expectations. Our consistent performance and reliability have earned us a reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding offshore operations,” adds Guy Noble, Senior Principal Naval Architect at ABL.

ABL nails Hammerhead marine operations contract

0

ABL has been contracted to provide marine warranty survey services for the marine operations and installation activities on ExxonMobil’s Hammerhead development offshore Guyana.

The Hammerhead project is intended to be the seventh of multiple developments in the Stabroek block, approximately 200 kilometres offshore Guyana, in water depths ranging from 850 to 1,725 metres.

It includes 18 production and injection subsea wells and the deployment of a spread-moored floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) that will offload directly to conventional export tankers in a tandem mooring configuration. Produced gas will be transferred to the gas-to-energy pipeline system for disposition at either the Unity facility or the onshore gas-to-energy plant.

“The Hammerhead project will be a follow-on from our involvement with ExxonMobil’s Liza 1, Liza 2, Payara, Yellow Tail and Uaru. All are similar projects in the same development block, with the same philosophy and installation method. Our Hammerhead team blends fresh technical insight with continuous, in-country experience in Guyana,” says David Ballands, ABL’s director of energy services in the Americas region.

SEKO Bangladesh expands capabilities

0

Bangladesh is once again gaining momentum as one of the world’s most important sourcing and manufacturing hubs.

Following a challenging political period during 2024–2025, the country has entered a new phase of stability and renewed economic confidence. As Bangladesh celebrates its National Day, businesses across global supply chains are turning their attention back to this dynamic market.

For global retailers, apparel brands, and manufacturers, Bangladesh continues to offer enormous potential. With strong manufacturing capacity, a skilled workforce, and expanding logistics infrastructure, the country remains a cornerstone of global sourcing strategies.

At SEKO Logistics, we are proud to support this renewed momentum. With operations in Bangladesh since 2003 and the leadership of Sumon Pal, SEKO Bangladesh is ready to welcome new opportunities and help global clients unlock the full potential of Bangladesh logistics.

Bangladesh is widely known as one of the world’s largest ready-made garment (RMG) manufacturing countries, supplying major global brands across Europe and the United States. The apparel sector continues to dominate exports, making Bangladesh a vital link in global fashion and retail supply chains.

However, Bangladesh’s importance goes far beyond apparel.

Today, the country is rapidly expanding its role in broader manufacturing sectors including industrial hardware, electronics, and consumer goods. This diversification is strengthening Bangladesh’s position as a multi-industry manufacturing hub in Asia.

Most exports from Bangladesh are structured under FOB (Free on Board) terms, with buying decisions typically made by retailers and brands in Europe and the United States. As a result, efficient export logistics and strong global freight forwarding partnerships are essential to keep supply chains running smoothly.

This is where experienced logistics providers like SEKO Bangladesh play a crucial role.

Why Global Retailers Continue Sourcing from Bangladesh
Even after a difficult period, Bangladesh remains one of the most competitive sourcing locations in the world.

Several factors continue to attract international buyers: Large-scale manufacturing capacity; Strong apparel production expertise; Competitive labor costs; Strategic access to major global shipping lanes; Expanding logistics infrastructure.

With improved political stability and renewed economic confidence, many global brands are now looking to strengthen or expand their sourcing programs in Bangladesh.

For companies seeking a reliable logistics partner in Bangladesh, operational expertise and local knowledge are critical.

SEKO Bangladesh has built a strong reputation for supporting global brands with end-to-end freight forwarding and export logistics solutions.

Operating since 2003, the Bangladesh team provides integrated supply chain support for retailers, manufacturers, and sourcing companies.

SEKO Bangladesh offers expertise across: Air freight forwarding; Ocean freight forwarding (FCL & LCL); Freight management services; Customs and compliance; Cargo consolidation; Quality control and inspection support.

Our local operations are trusted by international clients across apparel, electronics, industrial hardware, and consumer goods sectors.

SEKO Bangladesh combines global logistics expertise with strong local infrastructure to deliver efficient supply chain solutions.

The operation includes 129,000 square feet of warehouse space, designed to support cargo consolidation, inventory handling, and export preparation. Additional capabilities include: Dhaka Bonded Warehouse; 6,700 sqm facility; Integrated QC platform; Quality inspection and cargo preparation; Chittagong CFS Facility; 12,000 sqm capacity; Garment-on-hanger (GOH) handling; Dedicated QC room facilities.

One of the unique logistics advantages SEKO provides is its Bangladesh Inland Rail Service, connecting Dhaka directly to the Port of Chittagong.

Key benefits include: Three daily round trips between Dhaka and Chittagong; Each train carrying 36 containers per trip; GPS tracking for shipment visibility; Reduced transit risk and improved security; Lower carbon footprint for more sustainable logistics.

This rail solution significantly improves cargo reliability and helps exporters avoid highway congestion.

A key milestone for SEKO Bangladesh is the appointment of Sumon Pal as Managing Director.

Since joining SEKO in August 2016, Sumon has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of both the logistics industry and the Bangladesh market.

His promotion reflects SEKO’s commitment to developing internal talent and empowering local leadership. Under Sumon’s direction, SEKO Bangladesh will continue strengthening operations, expanding capabilities, and working closely with SEKO’s global network to support customers worldwide.

As Bangladesh enters a new period of stability and opportunity, the team is ready to drive growth while maintaining the service excellence and client-focused culture that defines SEKO.

With strong manufacturing capacity, improving stability, and growing logistics infrastructure, Bangladesh remains one of the most strategic sourcing destinations for global brands.

SEKO Bangladesh combines local expertise, global network strength, and integrated logistics solutions to help clients move goods efficiently from factory to destination.

DEME concludes contract in Brazil

0

On March 12, 2026, DEME has officially signed the 25‑year concession contract1 with Brazil’s National Secretariat of Ports (SNP) and the National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ), formally securing Brazil’s port access channel concession for the Port of Paranaguá.

The Paranaguá Port Channel Company SPE S.A., owned by DEME and FTS Participações Societárias S.A. (FTS), will carry out the full scope of works for the Port of Paranaguá – Brazil’s second‑largest public port in the state of Paraná. With all administrative steps now completed, DEME and FTS can move forward with the next phase of mobilization and implementation.

Following the successful auction in October 2025, in which DEME and FTS secured the 25-year concession, this final step officially entrusts the consortium with the operation, maintenance, improvement, and deepening of the marine access channel to the Port of Paranaguá.

The Port of Paranaguá plays a pivotal role in the handling of agribulk, containers, and liquid bulk, with annual throughput exceeding 70 million tons. The planned deepening of the channel – increasing draft capacity from 13.3 m to 15.5 m – together with ongoing maintenance dredging and enhancements to the nautical signaling system, will significantly boost operational efficiency and enable larger vessels to call at the port. These improvements further reinforce Paranaguá’s position as one of South America’s foremost export gateways.

The signing ceremony took place yesterday in Brasilia, in the presence of key authorities, including the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Rui Costa, and the Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho DEME’s partner, FTS Participações Societárias S.A., is an established port terminal and logistics operator active in the Port of Paranaguá and several other Brazilian ports.

0

On March 12, 2026, DEME has officially signed the 25‑year concession contract1 with Brazil’s National Secretariat of Ports (SNP) and the National Waterway Transportation Agency (ANTAQ), formally securing Brazil’s port access channel concession for the Port of Paranaguá.

The Paranaguá Port Channel Company SPE S.A., owned by DEME and FTS Participações Societárias S.A. (FTS), will carry out the full scope of works for the Port of Paranaguá – Brazil’s second‑largest public port in the state of Paraná. With all administrative steps now completed, DEME and FTS can move forward with the next phase of mobilization and implementation.

Following the successful auction in October 2025, in which DEME and FTS secured the 25-year concession, this final step officially entrusts the consortium with the operation, maintenance, improvement, and deepening of the marine access channel to the Port of Paranaguá.

The Port of Paranaguá plays a pivotal role in the handling of agribulk, containers, and liquid bulk, with annual throughput exceeding 70 million tons. The planned deepening of the channel – increasing draft capacity from 13.3 m to 15.5 m – together with ongoing maintenance dredging and enhancements to the nautical signaling system, will significantly boost operational efficiency and enable larger vessels to call at the port. These improvements further reinforce Paranaguá’s position as one of South America’s foremost export gateways.
