UASC ORDERS 2,000 REEFER CONTAINERS

Container shipping line United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) has ordered 2,000 new energy efficient reefer containers from Japan’s Daikin as part of the company’s expansion of its reefer services. The containers will feature Daikin’s latest LXE 10E model reefer unit, the ‘H’ model. These energy efficient solutions of the newest reefer containers will help to achieve a 50% reduction in power consumption compared to the earliest model introduced in 2001.

“This order for 2,000 units from Daikin will enable UASC to deliver the right level of accessibility, quality and efficiency for the carriage of frozen and chilled cargoes,” said Gareth Madsen, head of reefer management at UASC adding that “UASC will be placing more orders of reefer units this year,”  and that more details of the order will be announced once the plans are finalised.

With an average reefer container age of three years, UASC’s progressively expanding reefer fleet is one of the youngest in the industry. This ongoing investment will support the growth of the company’s existing services and enhance geographic access to the South American trades.

CSCL GLOBE AMONG $175 MILLIONS VESSELS PROJECT

In order to keep up with the frenetic growth of global shipping traffic—which has quadrupled over the past two decades alone—commercial cargo ships keep getting bigger. And the newest king of the containerships isn't one of Maersk's EEE titans, it's the CSCL Globe.

 

The existing cargo ship record holder, in terms of capacity, is the MV Maersk Maersk. It holds a whopping 18,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) shipping containers and beat out the older, 16,020 TEU MV CMA CMG cargo ship for the title in 2013. 

The new CSCL Globe from Hyundai Heavy Industries, however, will eek out an additional 1,000 TEUs—19,000 TEU in all—once it's delivered to its new owner, China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL), in the coming weeks.

The CSCL Globe is the first of an upcoming fleet of four such $175 million vessels that the company plans to operate throughout the Pacific. The Globe measures more than 1,300 feet long, almost 200 feet wide, 98 feet deep, and weighs 183,800 tons. It's powered by a single 94,791 hp MAN B&W 12-cylinder diesel engine. That's not quite as powerful as the RTA96-C, but the Globe's engine incorporates an electronically-controlled throttle that takes the ship's relative speed and the prevailing ocean conditions into account to offer increased fuel efficiency rates. In fact, the Globe's engine burns 20 percent less fuel per TEU than a cargo ship roughly half its size, even when travelling at its 16 knot top speed.

JAPAN SHIPPING COMPANIES POST SOLID RESULTS

Japanese shipping companies Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), K-Line and NYK Line have posted revenue increases in the six months from April to September, this year.

K-Line reported a 12 per cent growth in revenue to US$3.02bn; MOL saw a 7.8 per cent increase to US$3.53bn; and NYK saw a 12 per cent increase to US3.53bn in the first half of the 2015 financial year compared to the same period last year.

Despite increases in revenues, the shipping companies faced lower freight rates, congestions at ports and a shift towards larger ships on north-south routes causing an oversupply of smaller-sized vessels on other routes.

Vessel congestions at Asian ports was cited as one of the major challenges as well as the deployment of larger ships on North-South trade routes, particularly by MOL which said in a company statement that despite strong demand on its intra-Asian lines, vessel congestions at various ports in Asia led to a review of its operational plans.

NYK said that while its cargo volumes rose, its freight rates dropped “due to the delivery and deployment of ultra-large containers ships, mainly on European routes, which prompted a shift of older large vessels to other routes and cause a continued oversupply of vessels.”

Japan, Just Like China and Korea are now trading heavily with Africa and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region and Trade includes Container Lines, Ro-Ro and Heavy Project Cargo.

CHINA'S SHANGHAI PORT NOW THE BUSIEST PORT IN THE WORLD

Shanghai Port has now been officially the Biggest port in the World as it overtook Singapore in World Port Ranking.

Shanghai port overtook the Port of Singapore to become the world's busiest container port. Shanghai's port handled 29.05 million TEUs, whereas Singapore's was a half million TEU's behind.

In 2013, Shanghai port set a historic record by handling over 33.6 million TEUs.

This comes as Africa's Port of Mombasa dropped from position 117 to 120 in world container ports ranking this year. The port experienced a drop in cargo volumes handled last year by 9,500 20-feet containers (TEUs) - having handled 894,000 TEUs compared to 903,000 TEUs handled in 2012. The downturn is attributed to political jitters last year, as there was an extended election period that created uncertainty among traders doing business through the facility.

China's Port of Shanghai maintained its grip as the top port, followed by Port of Singapore. Seven of the top 10 container ports are from China.

Port analysts say there is a like hood that Mombasa Port could transact more volumes this year. Container traffic registered a growth rate of 11.5 per cent, reaching 463,807 TEUs compared to 415,948 TEUs registered during the same period last year. The growth is above the global average rate of eight per cent per year.
