Ocean carrier COSCO Shipping has transported an over-dimensional rotary boiler from Shanghai to the port of Hamburg.

The boiler weighed 126 tonnes and measured 24 meters in length and five meters in diameter. It was transported to Hamburg aboard the CSCL Jupiter and upon arrival at Hamburg’s HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort transshipped to inland barge for delivery to Olomouc in the eastern Czech Republic.

“The special challenge here was that on account of its center of gravity, the two HHLA floating cranes had to operate in tandem to lift the rotary boiler from the hold, where it was secured on a total of 11 40-ft flat-racks,” a spokesperson for the Port of Hamburg said.

COSCO manages 832 vessels, including the world’s largest multipurpose heavy-lift fleet as well as a variety of breakbulk vessels, semi-submersibles, container ships and roll-on, roll-off vessels. COSCO reports that it has handled 70 heavy or out-of-gauge shipments via the port of Hamburg so far this year.

Rich Rigging Project Services has utilised Enerpac's synchronous lifting system, the EVO 12, to hoist a 600-ton (544-tonne) racing super yacht on behalf of Titan Marine Engineering in Auckland, New Zealand.

The EVO 12 system digitally monitored and controlled 14, 100-tonne capacity Enerpac cylinders that were being used to lift the USD50 million yacht 1.6 m for repairs and maintenance.

The high pressure cylinders, operating as single units and in pairs, were synchronise from a central control point to lift the craft. All cylinders were extended in synchronised steps, maintaining the balance of the load.

By monitoring the position and load of each lifting position movements are safely and efficiently managed, within permissible load and synchronous stroke tolerance parameters, pre-set to suit the project.

"As with this job, a single operator controls all movements from a central control position, which comprehensively displays the live operation and records stroke and load data for each lifting position at user-defined intervals, for client scrutiny or procedure certification," said Neville Stuart, Enerpac New Zealand manager.

The Port of Rotterdam is to create space for an offshore centre to service offshore wind energy projects, oil and gas decommissioning activity in the North Sea, as well as ongoing activities in the oil and gas sector.

The development will be situated in the Prinses Alexiahaven on Maasvlakte 2 at which the port authority expects the first tenants to start operations in two years time.

All activities will be related to construction, assembly, logistics and heavy lift for offshore wind, decommissioning and the oil & gas markets.

The development will strengthen and further improve the port's existing and diversified offshore cluster.

The port authority says that the development of the facility will allow companies to cluster their activities and benefit from each other's proximity.

When fully developed, the centre will be 70 ha in area and include 1,600 m of quays purpose built for logistics related to offshore activities.

The European Parliament has approved road transport legislation that attempts to simplify operations for breakbulk carriers and logistics firms operating across the continent.

The parliament’s Resolution on Road Transport in the European Union aims to facilitate cross-border mobility, promote low-emissions and improve competitiveness and innovation in the road sector.

“The EU has a unique opportunity to not only lead the modernization of road transport at home, but also globally,” said Violeta Bulc, EU Commissioner for Transport. “Our reforms will set the foundation for standardized, digital road solutions, fairer social conditions and enforceable market rules … Common standards and cross-border services will also help make multimodal travel a reality across Europe.”

Deeper investment in the interoperability of transport systems, the technological development of vehicles, the promotion of alternative fuels and access to the market for SMEs were all cited as key drivers for the resolution.

“We welcome proposals to reduce the ever-increasing administrative burden that our international members have been facing when operating abroad,” said Pauline Bastidon, head of European policy at the Freight Transport Association. “We also welcome the commission’s efforts to bring greater interoperability to road charging tools … and cut costs for international operators, as well as the proposal to introduce incentives for users of cleaner vehicles.”

Improving employment conditions

The new regulation has been developed in consultation with the breakbulk transportation industry, and is the first in a series of eight legislative initiatives specifically targeting road transport.

The proposals are designed to streamline the functioning of the road haulage market, but also to improve workers’ social and employment conditions, which will be achieved by “stepping up enforcement, fighting illicit employment practices, cutting the administrative burden for companies and bringing more clarity to existing rules.”

“We see the world of transport changing fundamentally. Europe must seize this opportunity and shape the future of mobility. This is our unique chance to ‘reinvent the wheel.’ I would like our industry not only to be part of the global change but to set the tone,” said Maroš Šefčovič , EU vice president for Energy Union.

Despite the mainly positive reception to the resolution there was some concern from the freight sector with the UK’s FTA hesitant about increased red tape in some areas.

“We recognize the political pressure the European Commission was facing from some member states to amend regulations covering freight vehicles, but the addition of new restrictions on van operators is an unnecessary imposition, the implementation of which will hinder business growth and bring no meaningful benefit to road safety,” said James Firth, FTA head of licencing policy.

The FTA is the largest membership association representing the UK logistics industry.
