    MEGA containership deliveries are continuing after SEASPAN took delivery of the 10,010-TEU Hanjin Tabul, the fifth of seven sister containerships ordered in June 2011 from Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.

    The ownership of the seven ships is split between Seaspan, with three ships, and Greater China Intermodal Investments with four ships, and has the backing of firm ten-year charters from Hanjin Shipping with options for two more years, reported Alphaliner.

    Seaspan and its Marshall-based investment vehicle, GCI, have another 14 sister ships on order, of which ten are backed by MOL charters while no charterer has been named for the last four vessels, to be delivered in 2016.

    The newbuilding has joined the Mediterranean-Asia-US west coast 'PM 1' pendulum service.

    She follows the Hanjin Ami delivered to GCI in early June. The last two Hanjin sister ships are scheduled for delivery in the first half of next year.

  • Intermarine Establishes Angolan Venture

    Original news was published on 11 July, 2014

    Intermarine signed a joint venture agreement with a Angolan company, Transtar Transitario of Luanda, as partners in the ocean carriage of oil & gas equipment worldwide origins to Angolan ports.


    This JV (to be known as Transmarine) satisfies all the legal requirements of Angolan Ministry of Petroleum’s Order No. 127/03 for a local content company.  This law, while on the books since 2003, had not been actively enforced until 2013 and now gives priority to local content companies. This will allow Intermarine to offer their services to the partners of Sonangol, the national oil company of Angola, including operators, suppliers and EPC projects at competitive prices and services.

    “We understand that the expansion of trade between Africa and the rest of the world has seen transportation requirements and shipping capacities increase exponentially. These expanding markets require a specialized transport carrier to address the needs of key African industries including, oil and gas, energy, mining, and infrastructure,” John Bomer, VP Africa Service, said.

    The new JV will deliver operational excellence, technical expertise, a laser focus on quality and HSE, and on-time cargo delivery for which Intermarine is known.  The JV will also have access to Intermarine’s Industrial Terminal (Houston), the busiest project cargo terminal in the United States, adding to the JV customer service capabilities.

  • Damen Delivers Fugro Offshore Coastal Survey Vessel

    14 Jul 2014 8:25 AM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 10 July, 2014

    Fugro has taken delivery of the first of three Fugro Offshore Coastal Survey Vessels (FOCSV) being built by Damen. The first of a new class, the Fugro Proteus is a compact, survey ship capable of undertaking a wide range of survey, monitoring and inspection operations.

    The vessel is designed for a variety of survey and inspections duties including light geotechnical work, environmental baseline surveys, monitoring and inspection, and moon pool deployments. Diesel electric propulsion delivers excellent economy at all speeds.

    Fugro Proteus is the first of three survey vessels ordered by Fugro for delivery in 2014. Each will be operating in a different part of the world and so they have been adapted for the individual environments in which they will work. The operating company is a specialist in the acquisition of the full spectrum of survey data and so the vessels have been tailored to be adaptable for a wide range of tasks.

    Fugro Proteus is the first vessel to be built directly by Damen for Fugro. However the two groups have worked together on a number of refits in recent years, and in the process have built a relationship based on trust and mutual understanding.

    Four wind turbines for facility off the coast of western Denmark

    MHI Vestas Offshore Wind will supply four 8-megawatt wind turbines to the Velling Mærsk project in western Denmark. It will be the first commercial placement of the high capacity turbines.

    The project is being developed by  Skovgaard Invest and Energicenter Nord.  Velling Mærsk project will serve as a testing ground for installation methods and operation and maintenance procedures of the turbine onshore prior to the commencement of serial deliveries offshore, MHI Vestas said in a statement. MHI Vestas in April of this year was established as a joint venture between Japanese MHI and the Danish wind manufacturer.

    “The order for the first 0-series V164-8.0 MW turbines is a crucial step in the ramp up towards serial production,” Jens Tommerup, CEO of MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, said. “We will verify the performance, reliability and efficiency of the wind turbine before taking it offshore.”

    The turbines have a 64-meter rotor diameter with a sweep area of more than 21,000 square meters. Installation will start mid-2015.

  • Toshiba May Supply First Nuclear Reactor to Eastern Europe

    11 Jul 2014 8:28 AM | Anonymous

    Original news was published on 10 July, 2014

    Deal with Bulgaria could be signed this month

    Toshiba is the frontrunner to build a nuclear reactor at the Kozloduy power plant in Bulgaria. If Toshiba receives the US$80 billion engineering, procurement and construction contract, it will be the first time a Japanese company has exported nuclear technology to eastern Europe.

    News of the possible deal was released by Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. Toshiba will sign the EPC contract for the third Kozloduy unit with Bulgarian Energy Holding this month. The company’s subsidiary, U.S.-based Westinghouse, will supply an AP1000 reactor.

    Construction will likely start in 2016.

    The existing reactors at Kozloduy were built by the Russians. In recent months, eastern European countries have looked for alternative ways to meet domestic energy demands as concerns grow over Russia’s conflict with the Ukraine.

    “The Bulgarian government intends to diversify risk by incorporating a nuclear reactor not made by Russia,” said a senior Toshiba employee involved in the recent negotiations with the BEH. “If the Bulgarian government can boost the amount of nuclear power generated, there will be benefitsundefinednamely a reduction in the percentage of thermal power generated using natural gas imported from Russia.”

  • Nicaragua Canal Route Revealed

    Original news was published on 9 July, 2014

    Up to 520 meters wide and 278 kilometers long
    A route for the proposed US$40 billion Nicaraguan interoceanic canal has been approved by a committee consisting of government officials, businessmen and academics. The 278-kilometer route runs through Lake Nicaragua from the Brito River on the Pacific side to the Punto Gorda River on the Caribbean.
    Environmental and social impact studies will be conducted that could modify the route, but planners said the final route would be approved later this year and work could begin by December 2014, according to a Reuters report.
    The plan was presented by the HK Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Co., a firm led by Hong Kong lawyer Wang Jing, that last year won the rights to develop the ambitious infrastructure project. Environmentalists have expressed concern the canal would disrupt the region’s water supply and damage its fragile ecosystem. The canal would be between 230 meters and 520 meters wide with a depth of 27.6 meters.
    The new canal would be able to accommodate vessels twice the size of those able to pass through the Panama Canal expansion, which is scheduled to be completed in 2016. Last week, Nicaraguan lawmaker Edwin Castro said the Nicaragua Canal will not compete as a transit route with the Panama Canal.
    “Nicaragua’s canal will have a much wider strip across the country, in other words, it will be able to admit much bigger ships than would fit in the Panama Canal, even when it’s enlarged,” the politician said to a group of students. HKND Group has said that its canal could admit Super-Post-Panamax ships of up to 23,000 TEUs.
    HKND plans to complete construction in 2019 and begin operating the Nicaragua Canal in 2020. Earlier this week,

  • Van der Vlist Handles Heat Exchangers

    Original news was published on 8 July, 2014

    Transport to Moerdijk for barge transfer

    Van der Vlist handled the transport of four heat exchangers at its port facility in Moerdijk.

    Each of the heat exchangers weighed 179 tonnes and measured 28 meters long. Van der Vlist collected them one by one from the nearby factory and trucked them to the quay where they were unloaded, the Dutch logistics and forwarding specialist said in a statement. While the journey was only a short one, the 4-axle truck and modular 15-axle trailer had to be guided carefully around the local roads, where there are no restrictions.

    Using 500- and 700-ton-capacity mobile cranes, the exchangers were loaded onto a barge. The movement and handling was safely and smoothly completed.
