MSC India loads record 140-ton transformer from Mundra,
headed for Zambia
MSC India achieved another milestone in project cargo shipping
solutions, with the loading of a 140-ton transformer on MSC Regina from the
port of Mundra, India recently. This is the heaviest ever breakbulk parcel
moved by container ship from India, surpassing MSC's previous record.
The transformer is destined for
a greenfield power transmission development project in Zambia. MSC's previous
heavy-lift record was for the loading of a 115-ton transformer in 2018 at Port
of Nhava Sheva. India is catching up with countries such as China, Germany,
South Korea, and the USA, where pieces of more than 200 tons have already been
loaded successfully on container vessels.
Lifting gears were used to make
this a successful loading using the right combination of special equipment.
Putting onboard a 140-ton parcel is a substantial process and requires immense
focus and precision. "MSC has always put the customer at the centre of its
business, including providing access to dedicated project cargo equipment to
ensure the loading goes smoothly.
India begins trial run for trans-shipment of goods to NE via Bangladesh port
India on Tuesday began trial runs for the trans-shipment of goods
to the northeastern states using two key ports in Bangladesh, with a vessel
arriving at Mongla port with two containers of transit cargo.
The trial runs were initially scheduled for July, but were pushed
to August in order to enable Bangladeshi authorities to complete certain
arrangements, including customs procedures.
The development comes ahead of a planned visit to India by
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the first week of September.
Announcing the start of trial runs for operationalising a
bilateral agreement signed in October 2018 for the transit of goods from India
via Chattogram and Mongla ports in Bangladesh, the Indian high commission in
Dhaka said the vessel carrying two Indian transit containers had arrived at
Mongla port on Monday.
The vessel MV Rishad Raihan with cargo bound for the northeastern states was subsequently flagged off by the chairman of Mongla Port Authority, Mohammed Musa, and India’s assistant high commissioner in Khulna, Inderjit Sagar.
Georgia Ports Authority reports 530,800 TEU in July
Port of Savannah.Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) has announced that the port of Savannah handled 530,800 TEU in July, which represents a 18% increase compared to the same month in 2021.
Since January, GPA has seen 3.4
million TEU, translating to a growth of 231,400 TEU or 7% compared to 2021 same
period figures.
“The Port of Savannah has
clearly become a preferred East Coast gateway for shippers globally, including
cargo diverted from the US West Coast,” said GPA executive director, Griff
Lynch, who went on to add, “Our expedited infrastructure projects,
extended gate hours and the outstanding work of our employees and partners are
key to our ability to move cargo at a record pace.”
GPA has shifted operations to
start two hours earlier, with gates now open from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. (local time)
without interruption. Since the new hours were implemented on 1 August, the
port has seen strong adoption from drivers, with 3,000 transactions completed
in the 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. time block over the past week.
Port of Savannah’s gate
operations averaged 15,000 truck movements per weekday in July, including
import and export transactions.
Lynch noted that Savannah's
container operation is growing to meet the growing needs of existing and future
customers.
GPA has eight new ship-to-shore
cranes on order, with the first four arriving in February and the next four
arriving by the end of 2023. Also, another large ship berth at the Garden
City Terminal is 60% complete, with improvements scheduled to come online in
July 2023.
The improved berth will add 1.4
million TEU of berth capacity, while the Garden City Terminal West project will
add another 1 million TEU of container yard capacity in phases during 2023 and
2024.
Georgia Ports Authority will
increase annual berth capacity from 6 million to 7.5 million TEU by next year
and 9 million TEU by 2025. The GPA plans to spend US$4.5 billion over the next
12 years to expand its container handling capabilities.
“While the global logistics network
has been challenged over the past two years, our message to customers is that
at GPA, we’re continuing to build and expand,” said GPA chairman Joel Wooten.
“We’re moving forward with an
aggressive plan to enhance our terminal operations and improve the rail
connectivity to major commercial and manufacturing centers,” he pointed out.
Japan
loans Cambodia US$306 million to expand Sihanoukville port
Cambodia will receive a US$306 million loan from Japan to expand the Sihanoukville port. The loan agreement was signed at a meeting between Cambodia’s deputy minister for foreign affairs Prak Sokhun and international cooperation and Japan’s Foreign Affairs minister Hayashi Yoshimasa at the “ASEAN-Japan Cooperation and Ways Forward in the next 50 Years” seminar in Phnom Penh on 6 August.
Cambodia’s deputy minister for
foreign affairs Prak Sokhun / Credits: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
International Cooperation.Cambodia’s Economy and Finance Ministry Secretary of State, Hem Vanndy, and Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency Cambodia office, Kamei Haruko, signed the loan agreement in the presence of Cambodian premier Hun Sen.
Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s
only international and commercial deepwater port Cambodian foreign affairs
ministry spokesperson Chum Sounry said, “This loan will substantially
contribute to the expansion and modernisation of the Sihanoukville Autonomous
Port and the transformation of the port into a principal deep seaport for
Cambodia and in the region in line with the commitment made by the Prime
Ministers of the two countries earlier this year.”
In 2021, Sihanoukville handled
500,000 TEU, a 6% year-on-year increase and generated revenue of US$93.2
million, up 18% from 2020.
In May, ground was broken to
build an international multi-purpose logistics and port centre in Cambodia’s
southwestern province Kampot. The facility, estimated to cost US$1.5 billion to
build, could accommodate 9,000 TEU ships, with water depths of 15 meters.
Sokhun noted that Japan is ASEAN’s fourth largest trading partner, with
bilateral trade totalling US$8.5 billion in 2020.
He said, “Together, ASEAN and
Japan have worked to promote regional supply chain connectivity, especially in
recent years as we intensify our economic recovery efforts in the post-Covid-19
pandemic. Here I find the role of the Japanese business sector very crucial and
they continue to invest in ASEAN, taking advantage of the ASEAN-Japan
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.”
ICTSI
introduces new application for real-time visibility
International Container
Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) has announced its aim to enable port users to
make better, more timely business decisions with the launch of a new
application.
The new ICTSI app is a tool
that gives port users access to the company's newest digital services. ICTSI
said that with the app, port stakeholders can track trucks, containers and
ships as well as view advance payment estimates from ICTSI terminals.
“ICTSI is leveraging digital
platforms to bring new levels of interactivity and supply chain visibility to
our stakeholders. From shipper to vessel and vessel to consignee, ICTSI looks
to provide the most transparent and most visible logistics process while
maintaining our shipping line neutrality,” said Brian Hibbert, ICTSI Group's
chief information officer.
ICTSI believes that with up to
20 different participants in a single container shipment, access to reliable
real-time information has become a major challenge in the industry.
"Delayed, conflicting and confusing data create problems throughout the
supply chain that often lead to poor logistics planning and increased
costs," said the port operator in a statement.
ICTSI said that its application
will eliminate conflicting and delayed information by providing users with
real-time visibility. Using the Watchlist feature, users can track containers,
trucks and ships and receive email or SMS updates on any developments on the
tracked container, truck or ship.
Additionally, the app allows
users to leverage native device sharing capabilities to send information
directly to users' customers, according to the company's statement.
Furthermore, users can access
payment estimates for their transactions and make online payments at a growing
number of ICTSI terminals using the app.
“We are focused on our
customers’ success and building a strong foundation for these services that not
only allow us to deliver these services now but also enabling us to respond to
our customers and deliver more services quickly in the future,” added Hibbert.
China
yards dominate in boxship orders
Chinese shipyards hold the lion's share of container ship orders, with at least half of vessels under construction, followed by 34% for South Korean yards and just 8% for Japanese yards.
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.The figures, pulled from S&P Global Intelligence’ Sea-web data, also show how the Japanese shipbuilding industry is declining due to cheaper manpower costs in China.
The statistics show that there
are currently 876 container ships of 6.88 million TEU on order globally. Of
these, 514 vessels of 3.66 million TEU, amounting to 53% of the global total,
are being constructed in China. In South Korea, 266 container ships of 2.33
million TEU are being built. Japanese shipyards are building 85 boxships of
581,248 TEU.
The Chinese shipyards leading
in the boxship orders are Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (holding orders of 94
ships), Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (34 ships), New Times Shipbuilding (31
ships), Jiangnan Shipyard (21 ships), and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (16
ships).
S&P’s data showed that
between 2009 and 2020, as the container freight market tanked following the
global financial crisis in 2008, boxship newbuildings declined, totalling less
than 2 million TEU in October 2020, a 17-year low.
As liner operators made high
profits during the market boom, they gravitated towards vessel owning to manage
rising charter costs. The data showed that over 50% of the newbuilding orders
are from liner operators and the rest are from tonnage providers. MSC has the
highest number of vessels under construction, with over 1.5 million TEU on
order.
In 2021, container vessel
newbuilding orders exceeded 4 million TEU and the current orderbook for
container ships now surpasses that for bulk carriers and tankers, a historical first. This means
that the current boxship orderbook is more than trebled from the low levels
seen in October 2020.
In terms of vessel size, ships
in the 12,000 to 17,000 TEU range are the most in demand, accounting for nearly
50% of all boxships on order.
Surge in
shipbuilding raises potential oversupply concerns
COSCO Shipping Virgo / Source: Vessel
Finder.
While some shipyards struggled
to stay afloat during the initial outbreak of Covid-19, the post-pandemic
environment is predicted to usher in an encouraging era for shipyards’
orderbooks.
In 2020, orders for container
ships fell to their lowest number in a decade and dry bulk and tanker orders
experienced similar slumps. Both 2021 and 2022 saw an uptick in orders, and
shipping analysts now predict that 2023 will again see high levels of orders
across all sectors, raising concerns of a potential oversupply. Demand for
newbuilds is such that many shipyards are finding it increasingly difficult to
accommodate new orders.
Impact
on financing
The enormous orderbook
predicted for 2023 begs the question: where is the capital coming from to
finance all these newbuilds?
The answer may lie in creative
financing solutions and the diversification of funding sources. Earlier this
year, it was announced that one shipowner secured financing for its dozens of
newbuilds through various financing structures. These included a set of export
credit agency backed loans, sale and leaseback arrangements, syndicated bank
loans, and equity. Other shipowners have been seen to turn exclusively to sale
and leaseback financing to fully cover their large newbuild programmes. Still,
some continue to rely on traditional equity and debt finance.
It is clear, therefore, that
despite this surge in orders, shipowners continue to seek, and find, diverse
and alternative sources of ship finance.
Charter
rates
Recently, charter rates have
reached record-breaking highs, driven largely by the soaring demand for
capacity following the post-pandemic boom. This lack of ships has given
shipowners the upper hand in charter negotiations, allowing them to achieve
higher rates and longer hire periods.
Accordingly, one could posit
that this surge of newbuild orders may alleviate carriers’ concerns around the
meteoric rise of charter rates. However, long lead times for newbuild orders
will likely result in this additional capacity not being felt for some time. It
remains to be seen whether charter rates will stabilise to pre-pandemic levels
once newbuilds that are currently on order are eventually launched into
operation.
A degree of caution should be
exercised by owners if the increase in newbuild orders indeed leads to an
oversupply of vessels. An increase in capacity will spell a decrease in charter
rates. This may impact owners’ ability to pay back their financing obligations
and care should be taken when negotiating employment contracts. While adequate
protections should always be put in place to ensure timely repayment of loans
and interest, concerns around this are likely to be exacerbated by fears of a
drop in a vessel’s earning potential.
Port of
Long Beach records busiest July ever
Container vessels at the Port of
Long Beach (POLB).The Port of Long Beach (POLB) has achieved its busiest July on record in terms of TEU volumes, despite a cooldown in consumer spending.
More specifically, dockworkers
and terminal operators moved 785,843 TEU last month, which represents a slight
increase of 0.13% from the previous record set in July 2021. Imports fell 1.8%
to 376,175 TEU, exports decreased by 0.5% to 109,411 TEU, but empty containers
handled through the major Californian port rose by 2.8% to 300,257 TEU.
"We are continuing to seek
solutions to improve efficiency as a record-breaking number of containers moves
through the port," said POLB executive director, Mario Cordero.
"We hope to relieve some
of the stress points by continuing to support a transition of the entire supply
chain to 24/7 operations and ensuring our industry partners can track
containers with our new Supply Chain Information Highway data solution,"
he added.
Weaker domestic demand confirms
the national economy is rapidly downshifting amid stubbornly high inflation and
aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve, according to POLB, which
noted, "Consumer spending rose slightly by 1% nationally, attributed
to an increase in spending on services that offset a decline in purchases of
goods."
With July's box volumes, the
Port of Long Beach has broken monthly records in six of the past seven months.
The port has moved 5,793,621 TEU during the first seven months of the year, an
increase of 4.6% from the same period last year.
Box lines
continue to reap record profits, HMM reports US$4.6 billion earnings in 2022 H1
HMM Algeciras.Container carriers continue to achieve record financial results in the post-Covid era with HMM announcing outstanding revenue and profits this time.
The South Korean box line
achieved a net profit of US$4.6 billion in the first half of the year,
reporting an outstanding 1,560% increase compared to the first six months of
2021.
HMM's revenue also increased by
87% to US$7.6 billion, while operating profit rose 153% to US$4.6 billion in
the first half of 2022. At the same time, the operating margin increased to 61%
from 45% in H1 2021.
The company said the main reasons for its increased earnings were continuing high freight rates and efficient fleet operations. Additionally, HMM noted that the financial structure remained strong with its debt-to-equity ratio improved to 46% in June 2022, from 73% in December 2021.
The global supply chain is
forecast to remain strained in the coming months, according to HMM, which,
however, said that "demand growth is expected to be under downward
pressure due to considerable uncertainties mainly related to widespread
inflation, rising oil prices and recurrent coronavirus situation, in addition
to geopolitical tensions."
HMM added, "Port
congestion in major locations is still pervasive. In particular, growing
concern about the logistics situation in North Europe is a major factor that
will affect the supply chain."
In July, the
Seoul-headquartered container carrier unveiled a medium to long-term strategy
to become a top-rated global shipping and logistics company.

CARGO NEWS //::
Atlas
Air, Inc., a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc.announced an
agreement to extend its long-standing partnership with Qantas Freight, the
leading air freight carrier in Australia. The successful partnership between
Atlas Air and Qantas Freight began in 2004.
Under
the extended agreement with Qantas Freight, Atlas Air will provide long-haul,
widebody main deck capacity with two Boeing 747-400Fs operating its existing
network linking Australia, Asia and the U.S. An additional 747-400F has also
been extended to service the one-way U.S.-Australia-Hong Kong routing, boosting
capacity to meet customer demand.
“We
are pleased to extend our long-standing partnership with Qantas Freight and
support its customers and network,” said John W. Dietrich, Atlas Air Worldwide
President and Chief Executive Officer. “This important extension with Qantas
Freight comes at a time of significant growth in the air freight industry. We
look forward to supporting Qantas Freight as it continues to expand its global
freighter network.”
Both
Atlas Air and Qantas are committed to meeting the industry-wide 2050
sustainability targets set forth by the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme
for International Aviation (CORSIA).
“In
addition to abiding by CORSIA, we have set goals to lower our aircraft
emissions and improve our fuel efficiency as part of our commitment to promote
a cleaner environment,” Mr. Dietrich said. “Atlas is proud to work with Qantas
Freight in the Qantas Future Planet initiative that will enable us to offset a
majority of the emissions from the flights we operate on behalf of the
airline.”
Cargolux selects 777-8 freighter as preferred replacement for 747-400 fleet
Boeing
and Cargolux announced that Europe's largest all-cargo airline has
selected the 777-8 Freighter as the preferred solution to replace its 747-400
fleet. The selection was announced at the Farnborough International Airshow.
"With
the 777-8 Freighter being the preferred solution to replace our 747-400s,
Cargolux is looking forward to continuing its ongoing relationship with
Boeing," said Richard Forson, president and CEO of Cargolux.
The
777-8 Freighter is ideally suited for operators like Cargolux, creating a more
sustainable and profitable future. With nearly identical payload and range
capabilities as the 747-400 Freighter, the 777-8 Freighter will provide
30% better fuel efficiency and emissions and 25% better operating costs
per tonne as the airplane to replace aging large freighters later this decade.
Boeing
launched the 777-8 Freighter in January and has booked more than 50 orders for
the model. With advanced technology from the new 777X family and proven
performance of the market-leading 777 Freighter, the 777-8 Freighter offers the
highest payload and the lowest fuel use, emissions and operating cost per tonne
of any large freighter.
Cargolux
is the largest operator of Boeing widebody freighters in Europe with
a combined total fleet of 30 747-400 and 747-8 Freighters. Boeing and
Cargolux's partnership has spanned almost 50 years from 1973 when it received
its first Douglas DC-8 Freighter before entering the jet age in 1977 with the
delivery of its first 747, a 747-200 Freighter called 'City of Luxembourg'.
The
2022 Boeing Commercial Market Outlook projects a 80% increase in the global
freighter fleet through 2041, including approximately 940 new widebody
freighters such as the new 777-8 Freighter. First delivery of the 777-8
Freighter is anticipated in 2027.
Cathay Pacific Cargo resumes Queensland-Hong Kong service
Cathay Pacific Cargo has resumed its weekly
Boeing 747 freighter service from Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport in Queensland,
Australia to Hong Kong.
In a LinkedIn post on August 4, the carrier
said: “We are thrilled to be supporting local producers once more, delivering a
wide range of exports including chilled meats, vegetables and more to Hong Kong
and beyond.”
Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport also published a
LinkedIn post that stated: “This freighter service is a gateway for oversize
cargo, chilled meat, horticulture-fruit/vegetables, seafood, oil and gas,
mining equipment and artwork.”
The airport operates its international air
cargo terminal in conjunction with Menzies Aviation. Cathay Pacific Cargo
launched Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport’s first dedicated international freighter
service when it started the route in 2016. The service has been suspended
since December 2021 due to Covid quarantine measures for air cargo crew implemented
by Hong Kong authorities. The carrier recently said it is expecting a muted peak season while
it continues to add passenger flights and faces cross-border trucking issues.
Maersk Air Cargo moves
closer to operations with Asia-US test flight
Maersk Air Cargo will initially launch with three B767Fs. Photo: Maersk
Maersk Air Cargo is moving closer to operations with a test flight following its launch in April.
“In preparation for our new Maersk Air
Cargo services between Asia and USA, we are operating a special demonstrator
flight on 8/31 PM ex ICN (Incheon, Korea) arriving GSP (Greenville Spartanburg,
SC) 9/1 AM local times,” said Adam Farmer, representative director of Maersk
Korea/ head of sales – North East Asia, in a LinkedIn post.
Maersk Air Cargo is due to be operational
in the second half of the year and will offer daily flights utilising Denmark’s
Billund Airport as its main hub.
Maersk recently confirmed Maersk Air
Cargo’s three newbuild Boeing B767-300F freighters will be operated by Miami-headquartered cargo airline Amerijet on a US-China route from this autumn.
The order of the three new B767-300Fs was announced in April with the launch of Maersk Air Cargo. They are in addition to three leased B767F
freighters which will be operational this year through Cargo Aircraft
Management, the leasing arm of ATSG. The carrier has also ordered two new B777Fs
due for delivery in 2024.
The new airfreight company is the result of
the existing in-house aircraft operator, Star Air, transferring its activities
into Maersk Air Cargo.
Maersk is not the only shipping company to
have invested in airfreight recently. CMA CGM Air Cargo received its air carrier certificate from the French Civil Aviation Authority on June 1, following
the delivery of its first Boeing 777F.
UPS expands in healthcare
with Bomi acquisition
Maersk Air Cargo is moving closer to operations with a test flight following its launch in April.
UPS plans to acquire healthcare logistics
provider Bomi Group to expand its temperature-controlled facilities. The
transaction will add temperature-controlled facilities in 14 countries –
measuring 390,000 sq m – and nearly 3,000 employees.
“The acquisition will play a key role in
the delivery of next-generation pharmaceutical and biologic treatments that
increasingly require time-critical and temperature-sensitive logistics,” UPS
said.
Bomi said that it has 150 customers
worldwide, including players in the medical device, in vitro diagnostics,
biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors.
The acquisition of Bomi is part of UPS
Healthcare’s expansion of its network and services – including Bomi, UPS
Healthcare has doubled its global footprint since 2020.
“As a leading global healthcare logistics
company, Bomi enhances our portfolio of services and accelerates our journey to
become the number one provider of complex healthcare logistics,” said executive
vice president and president of UPS International, Healthcare and Supply Chain
Solutions Kate Gutmann.
“UPS Healthcare and Bomi Group employees
share similar values and our cultures are firmly rooted in a relentless focus
on quality. The combination of our two teams will significantly improve our
healthcare customers’ ability to continue to develop and deliver life-saving
innovations.”
Key Bomi Group leaders, including chief
executive Marco Ruini, will continue in their roles after the transaction
closes.
The transaction is expected to close by the
end of the year, subject to customary regulatory review and approval. The value
and terms of the transaction are not being disclosed at this time.
Alaska Air Cargo makes
beary special flight
Alaska Air Cargo has flown an orphaned brown bear cub to a new home after it was found wandering alone on a military base outside Anchorage, Alaska. The unnamed 89-pound female bear club has been safely settled at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo after being flown by Alaska Air Cargo to Seattle from Anchorage in mid-July.
Every year tens of thousands of live
animals travel via Alaska Air Cargo’s Pet Connect Service – mostly dogs and
cats joining their human families.
But when the rare bear is booked for
travel, the cargo teams and the zoos and wildlife agencies involved work
together closely to carefully plan the journey to ensure the cub’s safety and
comfort each step of the way.
For this cub’s journey, the Alaska
cargo team coordinated a travel plan with the zoos in both Anchorage and
Seattle.
Before the flight, the zoos confirmed
the size and weight of the cub’s crate so the cargo team could ensure the
kennel would fit in the belly of the aircraft, and the Cargo Network Support
team reserved space for the bear, blocking other animal bookings from the same
flight to make the journey as stress-free as possible for the bear.
“Our team is so experienced moving
animals of all kinds, and we just love it,” says Jeff Munro, cargo operations
manager for Anchorage.
The airport regularly shepherds wild
animals bound for zoos, wildlife rehabilitation centres or back to remote areas
of Alaska once they’ve been rehabilitated.
The cub received the highest-priority
loading – last on in Anchorage and first off in Seattle – and when she arrived,
the Woodland Park Zoo team was ready and waiting to meet their newest resident.
“She was calm when we picked her up,”
said Murphy, who noted that a small crate can feel like a safe space to a young
cub in transit.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
officials observed the cub earlier this year on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson
and took her to the Alaska Zoo when they determined she didn’t have a mother
bear to look after her. Orphaned cubs can’t survive alone in the wild, and
Woodland Park Zoo was eager to offer its Living Northwest Trail habitat to a
cub in need of a permanent home.
Woodland Park Zoo ships around 250
animals each year via airfreight, often with Alaska Air Cargo.
The as-yet-unnamed cub, set to grow to
around 500 pounds, must still must pass her 30-day quarantine (standard
procedure at Woodland Park Zoo) and learn her new environment before visitors
to the zoo can meet her.
