DP World and MAWANI launch new shipping line

Mawani, in partnership with DP World, launch first direct shipping line connecting Dubai and Egypt through Jeddah.
The Saudi Ports Authority (MAWANI) has partnered with DP World, the Dubai-based major logistics provider, to launch
the first direct shipping line connecting United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Jebel Ali Port in Dubai with Egypt’s Sokhna Port
through Jeddah Islamic Port.
The new shipping line, which is the fourth to be launched by MAWANI in 2020, heralds a new era in the region’s shipping
industry, as it aims to provide shipping services on the Red Sea coast.

“The launch of the first dedicated shipping service connecting Jebel Ali, Jeddah and Sokhna will be a game changer in
promoting the much-needed intra-regional trade,” stated DP World Group chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem,
who added, “The shipping line will directly benefit the Arab world’s three largest markets.” Under the agreement, DP
World will invest up to US$500 million to improve and modernise the Jeddah Islamic Port, including major infrastructure
development to enable the port to serve the world’s largest mega containerships, ultra-large container carriers (ULCC).
The move has been taken under the supervision and follow-up of the Saudi minister of transport, Eng. Saleh Bin Nasser
Al-Jasser. The Ministry of Transport’s vision has been focused on linking the Kingdom to the surrounding countries by sea,
land and air in a strategy aimed to unlock opportunities and connecting it intermodally with Europe and Africa.“The line
will also help facilitate trade across all the global supply chains, increase transhipment volumes and gain an upgraded
share of the ships on the Red Sea Coast,” said MAWANI president, Eng. Saad Alkhalb.DP World in December last year was
awarded a 30-year build-operate-transfer concession by MAWANI, for the management and development of the Jeddah
South Container Terminal at the multi-purpose Jeddah Islamic Port. Source : Container news

Shippers say service is worse, but the costs are

higher
Deteriorating services at higher prices, a customer's nightmare, as carriers serve up more blank sailings.
By : NicK Savvides Managing Editor
Unhappy shippers say that they are unclear what to expect from shipping lines since the Coronavirus pandemic hit the
global economy as services are cancelled without consultation or understanding of the situation for shippers.
Carriers are continuing to cut services with approximately 20% of capacity on the main east/west trades having been
cancelled in the third quarter, even as demand is said to be returning in some markets. Beneficial cargo owners (BCO)
are, however, unaware of when cancellations will take place until announcements are made, as there is no consultation
with the carriers’ customer base, said a shippers’ organisation. Jordi Espin, policy manager for maritime transport at the
European Shippers’ Council (ESC), told Container News, “For Q3 our experience is that we do not know what to expect,
since there is no trustable source for planning ahead.” The ESC is clear that there needs to be stability in the market for
all those involved within global logistics and all those involved along the supply chain should have visibility in what is
clearly a volatile market. “We understand the situation may not be stable, but it [service cuts] cannot be carried out
without considering that shippers are getting less and less choice for importing and exporting goods, with still higher
costs, longer transit times and no visibility on schedule reliability,” argued Espin. Shippers have raised the issue of higher
costs and a deteriorating service at a time when the carriers have again announced major service cancellations for the
period starting in July up to the end of September. A number of cancellations were announced by Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd
and THE Alliance this week. The cancellations include services to the West Coast South America, Far East to Europe and

South African services to the Subcontinent. Those cancellations followed a slew of void sailings announced the week
before, while the 2M alliance and THE Alliance gave notice of a slew of blank sailings in both the Far East to Europe and
Transpacific services. Meanwhile, the squeeze on capacity has allowed carriers to maintain high rates even as global
demand has collapsed. Rate discipline is a new phenomenon in the container shipping industry according to one analyst
who believes that when there is a significant increase in demand there is a possibility that the carriers may see that rigid
stance on rates erode. That time may come sooner on the Transpacific as US states open up their retail outlets, though
consultant Jon Monroe is sceptical. “Mall of America, the largest mall in the US opened on 10 June, but only with 150 of
its 500 stores. In the meantime, a number of anchor tenants for malls are closing their stores,” said Monroe. He added,
“The volume of containers we are importing from Asia is not real demand. It is a combination of replenishment, Covid-19
products and a surge of containers for companies fearing another round of duties. Real demand will only be achieved
when consumers are confident and making purchases in stores and online. By August, we may be seeing a very different
scenario.” Source : Container news
Hapag-Lloyd to halt waste shipments to China
HAPAG-LLOYD’s HONG KONG EXPRESS inbound for Antwerp passing Kruseveer Photo : Rob van den Houten ©
German container shipping line Hapag-Lloyd <HLAG.DE> said it had notified customers it will stop accepting cargoes of
solid waste, including scrap metal, bound for China that arrive from Sept. 1 onwards to comply with new legislation. China
in April passed a law, taking effect in September, that holds carriers and importers responsible for the return and disposal
of solid waste that fails to meet import requirements. It plans a blanket ban on solid waste imports by end-2020 for
environmental reasons.
"This legislation is applicable to all solid waste cargo such as waste paper, waste plastics, waste metals, waste chemicals
etc," said a June 12 Hapag-Lloyd notice to customers, a copy of which a company spokesman provided in an email. Any
violation "will result in a customs-ordered return of shipment and possible fine may be imposed," it added.
Hapag-Lloyd is the latest shipping line to confirm it will stop accepting China-bound solid waste shipments after MSC
Mediterranean Shipping Company said it earlier this month it had instructed its shipping agents worldwide to reject such
bookings. Solid waste purchased under approved quotas can still enter China by the end of the year but the prompt action
by shipping lines raises the prospect of disruption to supply in the latter months of 2020. Source : Reuters (Reporting

Two projects led by Valenciaport win the IAPH

World Port Sustainability Awards 2020
The European projects GREEN C PORTS and LOOP-PORTS, coordinated by the Valenciaport Foundation and in which the
Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) participates, have been awarded in the World Port Sustainability Awards 2020 of the
International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) – in the categories of “Resilient Infrastructure” and “Climate and
The award ceremony, initially scheduled to take place in March in Antwerp, within the framework of the IAPH World Ports
Conference 2020, and later cancelled due to the COVID-19, was finally held this morning, virtually, through a webinar
with the participation of the General Director of the IAPH, Patrick Verhoeven and representatives of the Valenciaport
Foundation and the APV, as well as the other awarded entities.
Antonio Torregrosa, General Director of the Valenciaport Foundation has been in charge of collecting virtually the award
of the GREEN C PORTS project, an initiative co-financed by the European Commission’s CEF Programme whose final
objective is to reduce the environmental impact of port operations in cities and to control emissions in the main European
ports.
According to Torregrosa “GREEN C PORTS will allow the installation of a network of environmental and meteorological
sensors, the pilot development of a port environmental performance platform and the modelling of artificial intelligence
algorithms to inform port users and clients and citizens about the main environmental parameters derived from port
activities”. In addition, innovative solutions to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, reduce noise levels, forecast
crane productivity and measure emissions in real time will be tested in the ports of Venice, Piraeus, Bremerhaven,
Wilhemshaven and Valencia.
On the other hand, Federico Torres, Director of Safety, Environment and Facilities of the PAV, has received, on behalf of
the project consortium, the award of the LOOP-Ports project. Torres highlighted the great relevance of this award for the
ports participating in the project because “it means the recognition of the work carried out in relation to the promotion of
the circular economy as a future strategy in the ports”, and particularly in the port of Valencia. Torres added that this
initiative “has helped us, among other things, to establish new objectives to be fulfilled within the framework of our
internal strategy of sustainability”.

LOOP-Ports is a project financed by EIT Climate-KIC whose objective is to facilitate the transition to a more circular
economy in the port sector by creating a Network of Ports in this area that will provide an ecosystem of innovation around
port activity and stimulate the dissemination of circular economy initiatives. A total of 44 entities from 14 countries,
mainly Port Authorities and port associations at European level are part of this Port Network.
The World Port Sustainability Awards were created to recognize the best projects registered in the IAPH’s World Port
Sustainability Programme (WPSP), created in May 2017 with the aim of coordinating future sustainability efforts of ports
worldwide and fostering international cooperation with supply chain partners, always guided by the 17 United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), the European Sea Ports
Organisation (ESPO), the International Association of Cities and Ports (IACP) and the Global Inland Waterway
Infrastructure Partnership (PIANC) are part of this programme as strategic partners. Source: portnews

10,000 Litres Of Diesel Seized Off Mumbai Coast

Amid rising fuel prices, the crime branch of Mumbai Police recovered 10,000 litres of smuggled diesel off
Sewree coast in south Mumbai last Thursday, an official said.
Amid rising fuel prices, the crime branch of Mumbai Police recovered 10,000 litres of smuggled diesel off Sewree coast in
south Mumbai on Thursday, an official said. Acting on a tip-off, the crime branch laid a trap near Hey Bunder and Ghaslet
Bunder on Tuesday and Wednesday, the official said. The officials spotted a suspicious boat in the early hours of
Thursday. The fishing boat was intercepted but its crew jumped in the sea taking advantage of the rough weather and
vanished, he said. The boat was found to be carrying 10,000 litres of diesel, suspected to have been smuggled from ships
and boats anchored along the Mumbai coast, he said. Further probe is on. Source: republicworld
Nuclear-powered icebreaking container ship

Sevmorput to make four voyages between Saint-
Petersburg and Far East in 2021
The nuclear-powered icebreaking combo LASH carrier / container ship SEVMORPUT will make four voyages between
Saint-Petersburg and the Far East in 2021, Maxim Kulinko, Head of Rosatom’s Department for Development of NSR and
Costal Territories, said during the webinar organized by Delovoy Peterburg with the assistance of Nadezhda Malysheva,
Development Director of PortNews Media Group.

“Next year we will be ready to arrange four voyages on the Northern Sea Route for our LASH carrier, starting from about
June 16 and up to about November 15. We are working hard with Rosrybolovstvo (Russian Federal Fisheries Agency –
Ed.) and Kamchatka Territory authorities. We invite all the stakeholders to participate in this work. We will ensure
economically viable tariffs. If the ship is loaded up to at least 90% on Petersburg-Kamchatka-Vladivostok route and back,
the tariffs will be very
profitable, I promise”, said
Maxim Kulink.
“Anyway, there will be year
round navigation on the
Northern Sea Route, the only
question is when... It is a task
for Rosatom and the state as a
whole, otherwise there will be
no capture of the LNG
market... This year, we have
had pilot voyages eastwards
with the third voyage of
Novatek’s gas carrier underway
on this challenging route. We are aware of all the challenges but we do not doubt that this task will be fulfilled”,
emphasized Rosatom official.Rosatom has already succeeded in arranging fish transportation by the Arctic route. Between
20 August and 15 September 2019, SEVMOROPUT made a voyage from the terminal of Vostochnaya Stevedoring
Company in Vostochny Port to the Seroglazka terminal in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and further to Petrolesport terminal

Shipping companies confirm their readiness to fulfill epidemiological measures
Navigation on waterways of Saint-Petersburg (Neva, Malaya Neva, Bolshaya Neva, Srednyaya Nevka, Malaya Nevka,
Moika and Fontanka rivers as well as Griboyedov Canal and Crownwork Strait opened at 10 a.m. (Moscow time) on 28
June 2020, said the municipal government’s Transport Committee.
The decision was approved at the meeting of the Interdepartment Transport Working Group of the City’s Interdepartment
Coordination Council on prevention of COVID-19 spread in Saint-Petersburg headed by Maksim Sokolov. According to Kirill
Polyakov, head of the Transport Committee of Saint-Petersburg, shipping companies operating in the city have confirmed
their readiness to fulfill all required epidemiological measures. The Safety Standards for organizations and entrepreneurs
have been approved by the Transport Committee and the regional branch of Rospotrebnadzor (The Federal Service for
Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare). In the navigation season of 2019, passenger
transportation in Saint-Petersburg was carried out by 148 passenger ships and 134 small-size ships.In Moscow, navigation
season opened on June 23. Passenger ships with passengers onboard were banned from navigation within administrative
boundaries of Saint-Petersburg from 14 April 2020. The ban did not cover small-size fishing ships – waterways of Saint-
Petersburg were opened for them from 15 April 2020. Source : Portnews

North Alliance expands its fleet with one more

tugboat
The tug was delivered from Panama to Saint-
Petersburg on board the freight carrier as an
oversize cargo
Leningrad Region based company North Alliance
has acquired yet another tugboat which expanded
the company’s fleet of tugs to 6 units. The ship
renamed Antey was delivered to Saint-Petersburg
from the Latin America, says IAA PortNews
correspondent. It will operate in the ports of the
Baltic Sea particularly involved in port to port
towing operations. The ship of 5,000 h.p. can be
operated in any water bodies. According to
Vyacheslav Lobikov, General Director of North
Alliance, the ship is to undergo technical
maintenance at the Kanonersky Shipyard in Saint-
Petersburg upon completion of which it will leave
for the first voyage – towing to the port of
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. He also said that
acquiring of a tug in the secondary market is an
optimal decision today amid the market decline. “We are satisfied with the value for money under this transaction.
Nevertheless, our company is still interested in construction of new ships in the future”, he told IAA PortNews.The
operation on transportation of the tug from Panama was performed by United Heavy Lift (Germany). The ship has been
offloaded, on 26 June 2020, after a dispute between North Alliance and the shipping company was settled.

More Transatlantic Blankings Unveiled as New

Trade War Threatens
By Mike Wackett (The Loadstar)
2M partners Maersk and MSC have extended the suspension of their TA4/NEUATL4 transatlantic loop through to
September.
The service, which deploys five vessels with an average capacity of 5,300 teu and has a rotation of Antwerp-Rotterdam-
Bremerhaven-Liverpool-New York-Savannah-Port Everglades-Savannah, was originally suspended until mid-June and to
mid-July.Maersk attributed the new move to “continued market demand reductions in North America and Europe caused
by the Covid-19 pandemic”. The service is now stemmed to be reinstated from Europe in the first week of September and
from the US mid-month.Maersk said today it would “continue to review the demand picture and adjust deployed capacity
as needed”, while MSC said it was continuing with its “prudent approach to capacity management during the Covid-19
crisis”. In contrast to the main Asia-Europe and transpacific tradelanes, where carriers have seen a pickup in demand in
recent weeks, trade between Europe and the US is still very much in the doldrums

. “The recovery is going to take much longer on the transatlantic than on the other lanes, if it ever recovers fully,” a
carrier source told The Loadstar. Indeed, one UK NVOCC said that the transatlantic market was “on the floor”. “It’s
definitely our most challenging trade at the moment, other routes are getting back to some sort of normal but the US
market is very difficult at the moment,” he told The Loadstar. The continued suspension of the 2M loop is a further blow
to the UK’s struggling exporters in the north-west who will need to continue to rely on ACL’s weekly con-ro service as the
only direct service to the US from Liverpool. According to eeSea data, carriers blanked 25 (13%) of the scheduled 199
sailings on the transatlantic in May and have cancelled 17 (9%) of the advertised 187 sailings in June. Notwithstanding
the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the transatlantic trade, ocean carriers are bracing themselves for a second hit
from the threat of the US imposing a raft of new tariffs on the import of European goods, part of a long-running spat over
subsidies to aircraft manufacturer Airbus.The US administration said this week it was considering imposing duties on 30
products, including beer, cakes, hardware products and clothing, imported from the EU and UK amounting to some
$3.1bn in trade annually. President Trump has also threatened duties on European cars after imposing a levy on steel and
aluminium, prompting Brussels to tax some iconic US products such as denim jeans and motorcycles. And with more
European exports, such as Irish whiskey, Guinness, Baileys Scotch whisky and gin said to be on the president’s radar,
European stock markets reacted badly yesterday with almost £50bn being wiped off of the FTSE 100. Source : The

Belgium marine pilot infected with corona after

piloted corona ship
The MINERVA OCEANIA inbound for Antwerp Photo : Willem Kruit ©

A pilot who visited the ship MINERVA OCEANIA to lead it to the port of Antwerp appears to have become infected with
the coronavirus. This is reported by the Maritime Services and Coast Agency. The ship has been in quarantine in the
Leopold dock for several days now because 15 of the 26 crew members tested positive for COVID-19. However, when the

pilot arrived on the ship, the outbreak was not yet known."We deeply regret this but were prepared for the situation", the
agency states Friday. "All colleagues with whom this person has been in contact were informed personally and will also
stay home preventively. We will wait for the other test results, but we will not fail to take action there as well".The agency
states that sufficient pilots are still at work and therefore there is no impact on shipping traffic to and from the port.A
second pilot also visited the ship in question, but that person shows no symptoms for the time being. He will stay in home
quarantine for two weeks, just like his positively tested colleague
The big questions
The Flemish pilots are worried. Some of their colleagues have piloted a ship on which, it turned out, fifteen crew members
are infected with corona. Do they now also have Covid-19? Did the captain of the MINERVA OCEANIA, who is now in
quarantine for fourteen days, lie about the state of health of his crew? This needs to be investigated very carefully.

Alfa Laval signs agreement with leading engine

developer WinGD
Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – continues to expand its offering to
marine customers, catering to their needs no matter which fuel they use to propel their vessels, the company said in its
release. The new addition Alfa Laval CEC-S solution, developed in cooperation with the global Swiss engine developer
WinGD, is targeting ships that run on gas and it will improve the engine efficiency on ships that run on gas.The new Alfa
Laval CEC-S system (cascade exhaust gas cooling system) will be incorporated into WinGD’s gas engines where it will be
used for cooling and recycling purposes. It will contribute to significantly lowering the methane slip into the atmosphere,
while also improving engine efficiency thus decreasing a ship’s carbon footprint.
Swiss engine developer WinGD operates with a licensing model, enabling engine builders to implement the company’s
designs – which in this case includes Alfa Laval’s CEC-S solution.
Fuel choice is key when aiming to reduce global emissions. In the marine sector, which traditionally uses heavy fuel oil,
ever stricter rules are being implemented to limit emissions. There are several ways to comply, including using natural gas
as fuel. Gas holds only a fraction of the nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides seen in traditional fuels – and carbon dioxide
emissions are lower. Alfa Laval aims to support the marine sector, no matter which fuel the shipowners decide to use, and
help them secure efficient, reliable and compliant vessel operation.
Alfa Laval is active in the areas of Energy, Marine, and Food & Water, offering its expertise, products, and service to a
wide range of industries in some 100 countries. The company is committed to optimizing processes, creating responsible
growth, and driving progress – always going the extra mile to support customers in achieving their business goals and
sustainability targets.
Alfa Laval’s innovative technologies are dedicated to purifying, refining, and reusing materials, promoting more
responsible use of natural resources. They contribute to improved energy efficiency and heat recovery, better water
treatment, and reduced emissions. Thereby, Alfa Laval is not only accelerating success for its customers, but also for
people and the planet. Making the world better, every day. It’s all about Advancing better™.Alfa Laval has 17,500

Problems with John Duigan knocked out King

Island's shipping service
By : Lachlan Bennett

King Island's shipping service has been put out of action after problems were discovered in the John Duigan. The freighter
was making its way up the east coast of Australia to get a damaged stern tube seal repaired at a dry dock in Sydney.
Islanders who rely on the ship have also expressed concern about oil potentially leaking from the propeller shaft
The government-owned operator of the shipping service, Bass Island Line, said the JOHN DUIGAN would be "out of
service until at least 6 July". "The John Duigan arrived in Sydney arrived in Sydney on Thursday 25 June and entered dry
dock on Monday 29 June, where repairs are estimated to take four days," a spokesperson said. "Once in dry dock an
assessment will be completed on the damaged stern tube seal, which will determine the cause of the issue." The
spokesperson said Bass Island Line was "making arrangements to ensure continuity of service for the King Island
community".

"This includes working with shipping agents and customers to coordinate transhipment arrangements for essential freight
departing Melbourne to mainland Tasmania, before it reaches King Island," they said. King Island Shipping Group chair
Greg Morris said the temporary loss of the JOHN DUIGAN was made worse because it followed several weather-related
delays in the shipping schedule. He also wondered how long it would take the John Duigan to return from Sydney
because "she's not the fastest of vessels" and was "totally weather dependant". "If the weather cracks up again this
week, she won't be able to return," he said. Mr Morris said he had heard there were negotiations to get Flinders Island's
shipping service to help out King Island while the John Duigan was being repaired.
"But we haven't been able to get a confirmation that the Flinders Island vessel can take full weights containers regarding
loading and unloading at the port," he said.
Mr Morris said it was also "disappointed" that Bass Island Line had not adequately informed them about the situation.
"Up until this point we've had no update officially from BIL as to what's going on but it's been on the grapevine that
everyone has found out," he said.Bass Island Line said shipping agents were responsible for "advising customers", the
company had been working with King Island Council and "regular communication with the King Island community" would
be maintained. The JOHN DUIGAN commenced service in May 2018 and runs a triangular service between Grassy, Bell
Bay and Melbourne.

Large container ships sailing around with air as

cargo"
Many container ships are faring, empty, around the world. Sailing on's cheaper than being docked. That's the largest
shipping companies response to the recent loss of goods demand. "It's like a bus route. Regardless of the number of

passengers, the bus drives a fixed route. It's the same with the largest container ships," says Johan Geeroms, Risk
Director at Euler Hermes Nederland. "It's absurd - container ships as large as apartment blocks. They sail across the world
with air as cargo. It's all to do with calculations. How can the corona blow be minimized? By sailing from Europe to Asia
with empty containers and returning with them full. China's the world's factory. The flow of goods is starting up nicely
there again."

€500,000
According to Geeroms, the carriers use the cheapest routes. "It quickly costs €500,000 to sail a large container vessel
through the Suez channel. It's less expensive to sail all the way around Africa. So, that's what happens now. It takes
much longer, but this time-factor is currently less important. Clients aren't in as much of a hurry. No-one wants
overflowing warehouses. You can add the extremely low oil price to that."
The corona crisis has disrupted the global flow of goods. "Full containers remain in Chinese factories or ports. That's
caused a shortage of empty containers. That's why the container ships leave Europe entirely empty. Usually, there are
always empty containers on board. But the current situation beats everything. I know that earlier this year, 30% more
empty containers left Antwerp harbor."

50.000 containers
A few large companies almost entirely run global container shipments. There's been enormous upscaling too. "There are
now ships that transport 25,000 containers. It seems technically possible to build ships that can carry 50,000 containers.
That's going to happen too," explains Geeroms.

"At the same time, shipping prices have dropped dramatically in recent years. These are now stabilizing to about €750 to
€1,000 per container. It's all about efficiency. Capacity management's being taken to the extreme. And, apparently, its
less costly to keep sailing with empty containers. Rather than having the ship docked."
According to Johan, the question is whether future container shipping can continue at this pace. "More and more people
are questioning the current globalization. They see dangers in this one-sided, single-country production dependence.
Buying closer to home seems to be the alternative, but it's also pricier. The OECD also warns against this - the reversal of
global 'value chains' comes at a hefty price. As long as we're still part of this, empty container ships will keep sailing the
world's seas." Source: Fresh Plaza

Strafzaak: Is Simmeren Schroot in Groningen de fout

in gegaan met de sloop van het voormalige jacht van
Freddy Heineken?
Aan de kade langs het Winschoterdiep in Groningen wordt begin 2017 het voormalige jacht van Freddy Heineken tot
schroot gezaagd. Volgens het Openbaar Ministerie zijn bij de ontmanteling van dit schip medewerkers van De Vries
Scheepsbouw in Makkum en SimmereN Schroot in Groningen ernstig in gevaar gebracht.
Oranjeminnend Nederland maakte zich in de zomer van 1987 ernstig zorgen om koningin Beatrix die een
hersenvliesontsteking kreeg op een cruise in het Zuid-Franse Antibes. Ze was aan boord van de bijna dertig meter lange
jacht SOMETHING COOL van biermagnaat Freddy Heineken.
De koningin was in 1980 voor het eerst aan boord en voer kennelijk vaker mee op dit klassieke jacht uit 1964 dat 7 jaar
na de bouw in handen van Heineken kwam. Het karakteristieke schip, gebouwd als Louise II, werd na de aankoop door
Heineken herdoopt als SOMETHING COOL II en in Aalsmeer op de werf van Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw aan zijn
wensen aangepast.
Bij sloop schip is asbest vrij gekomen
Zes jaar na zijn overlijden in 2002 staat het schip in het Zuid-Franse Antibes te koop voor een bedrag van 950.000 euro.
In 2014 keert de Something Cool terug in Nederland tijdens een parade van schepen van de Feadship Heritage Fleet aan
de Westeinder.
Drie jaar later eindigt het klassieke jacht op de schroothoop en begint een onderzoek naar strafbare feiten gepleegd in
Makkum en in Groningen. Bij de ontmanteling in beide plaatsen kwam volgens het Openbaar Ministerie asbest vrij. En bij
beide bedrijven zijn medewerkers in gevaar gebracht.
'Bootje bij een schuurtje'
Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw is een van in totaal zes bedrijven die samen het gerenommeerde Feadship vormen.
Onder die merknaam worden exclusieve, zeegaande motorjachten gebouwd voor de rijken der aarde.
In Makkum zou de Something Cool in 2016 worden gerenoveerd, schrijft advocaat Hans Jan Bussink namens zijn cliënt.
Kosten noch moeite werd gespaard, aldus de raadsman, maar uiteindelijk bleek het technisch een onhaalbare zaak.
Volgens Raadsman Niek Heidanus, die SimmereN Schroot bijstaat, wilde De Vries geen cent meer uitgeven aan de
voormalige jacht van Heineken. Alleen: hoe kom je kosteloos van een schip vol asbest af?
De werf neemt contact op met de inkoper van SimmereN. De Vries heeft nog 'een bootje bij een schuurtje staan' dat
wellicht nog wat oud ijzer oplevert. Op 5 december 2016 bezoekt de inkoper de werf en wordt op kantoor met alle egards
ontvangen. Hij kan het schip niet van binnen kijken omdat het grotendeels in plastic is verpakt en is voorzien van stickers
met de melding 'asbest'. Die stickers zijn nog op van voor de sanering en zullen verwijderd worden. SimmereN neemt de
opdracht aan.
Inspectie legt sloopwerkzaamheden stil
Een matroos en schipper leveren het schip vlak voor de kerstdagen van 2016 af in Groningen. Het plastic en de
asbeststickers zijn verwijderd. Een 'schoon schip' dus, concludeert de schroothandel, waarna het jacht in stukken wordt
gesneden.
Uit gegevens van Het Kadaster blijkt dat Van SimmereN op 10 januari 2017 verklaart dat de Something Cool gesloopt is.
Op papier komt er dan een eind aan het roemruchte jacht, maar als op 6 februari de laatste onderdelen nog gesloopt

worden, lopen lopen medewerkers van de Inspectie SZW het terrein op van SimmereN. Op last van de Inspectie wordt
dat werk stilgelegd. Controleurs constateren dat er nog steeds asbest in de delen van het wrak aanwezig zijn. Uiteindelijk
gaat het Openbaar Ministerie over tot vervolging.
SimmerenN zou milieuregels hebben overtreden
SimmereN wordt verweten haar medewerkers in gevaar gebracht te hebben en de milieuregels te hebben overtreden.
Maar dat geldt ook voor De Vries waar de jacht gestript is. Volgens het Openbaar Ministerie ging er veel mis bij de sloop.
Op de werf in Makkum zouden luiken op het bovendek zijn verwijderd waarachter spuitasbest zat. Levensgevaarlijk, aldus
het OM.
Ook de matroos en schipper zijn blootgesteld aan de gevaren van asbest. Dat geldt ook voor Van SimmereN Schroot.
Medewerkers bij beide bedrijven werden volgens het OM blootgesteld aan asbestvezels die in de longen kunnen
doordringen en long-, buikvlies- of longvlieskanker kunnen veroorzaken. Veiligheidsmaatregelen zijn niet nageleefd. Naast
beide bedrijven zijn ook de CEO van De Vries en de bedrijfsleider van SimmereN gedaagd.
Scheepswerf claimt naar eer en geweten te hebben gehandeld
De scheepswerf kan zich absoluut niet vinden in de gang van zaken zoals geschetst door het OM.,,De veiligheid van
medewerkers en andere betrokken hebben voor hen altijd prioriteit. Cliënten hebben dan ook een buitengewoon goede
reputatie op het gebied van Arbo en milieu en hebben, zoals altijd, naar eer en geweten gehandeld'', stelt advocaat
Bussink.
De werf stelt dat Van SimmereN ervaring heeft met het verwerken van astbesthoudend materiaal. Heidanus meent dat
het grote De Vries de schroothandel ,,op slinkse wijze heeft misleid en bedonderd''. De strafzaak wordt later dit jaar
behandeld in de rechtbank in Zwolle. Bron : Dagblad van het Noorden
Port of Melbourne welcomes largest container

capacity vessel call
The Port of Melbourne (PoM) has welcomed the CMA CGM URAL, the largest container ship by maximum capacity to call
at the port. The 299m-long vessel is one of six currently deployed on the South-East Asia – Australia trade route called
the ‘AAX1’. It commenced its 42-day round-trip in Malaysia, calling at Singapore. It then made its way around Australia’s
south-west coast and arrived into Melbourne’s Webb Dock for handling by terminal operator Victoria International
Container Terminal (VICT).
The vessel can carry up to 10,662 TEU, with containers stacked up to 12 high on-deck. Compared to the 4,500 TEU
carried by the average container ship currently calling at PoM, this is a significant increase in load carrying capacity, the
Port said in an announcement. The CMA CGM URAL will spend 44 hours in Melbourne before departing for Sydney and
Brisbane. Brendan Bourke, CEO Port of Melbourne, said the arrival of CMA CGM URAL is an indicator of the durability of
Australia-Asia trade, despite the challenges presented by COVID-19 and recent natural disasters. It demonstrates the
port’s ability to accommodate the next generation of global container vessels. “The arrival of CMA CGM URAL shows
Port of Melbourne’s capacity to service the growing number of bigger vessels we’ll see into the future. PoM’s operations
have undergone significant change over the years including automation, changes to supply chains, and to the
infrastructure that supports them. “We’re always looking at ways to leverage the significant capability of our operations.
We’ve developed a 30-year strategy that addresses PoM’s critical role as part of an interconnected network of physical
infrastructure, commercial systems and land-uses,” he said. Anthony Orgill, General Manager Asia ANZ Lines, ANL, said
the arrival of the vessel was significant for the shipping industry.

“By implementing larger container ships into our services, we can support clients operating between Australia, South East
Asia and beyond. Today’s occasion marks a fantastic milestone as a business and as an industry, highlighting our ongoing
evolution to accommodate increasing demand, population growth and productivity,” he said Tim Vancampen, CEO, VICT,
stressed the arrival of CMA CGM URAL highlights the growth of the shipping industry and brings further economies of
scale to the Victorian market and supply chain. “VICT is well equipped to accommodate this class of vessels ranging from
10,500 – 13,000 TEU and plans to further invest in the Port of Melbourne to accommodate the next generation of vessel
ranging from 15,000 to 18,000 TEU. “We will ensure that Port of Melbourne will continue to fulfil its role as the main
gateway to Victoria, and consolidate and expand its position in the global shipping network.” Source : porttechnology

Scylla set for Moray East installation job

Seajacks vessel will replace DEME Offshore’s Orion at EDPR’s project off Scotland
Seajacks' vessel SEAJACKS SCYLLA has arrived in the Port of Nigg in Invergordon to begin loading jackets for EDPR’s
950MW Moray East offshore wind farm off Scotland. Jacket installation contractor DEME Offshore has chartered the vessel
to replace its floating crane vessel ORION on the job, according to project sources. ORION was due to install the
foundations and offshore substations at the project but is out of action due to a crane collapse during load testing earlier
this year.

'Unstable soil' costs TenneT €50m at Borssele

Beta
Consortium of NKT and Boskalis have had to employ a 'different working method' than planned on the
cable route
TenneT will now pay a consortium of NKT and Boskalis a total of €210m instead of €160m to install the export cable for
the Borssele Beta connection in the Dutch North Sea. The cost adjustment follows the discovery of unstable soil on the
route during work on the Borssele Alpha cable contract on the northern slope of the Honte.
The unstable soil is deemed an "unforeseeable physical condition" under the terms of the Borssele Beta contract originally
signed in 2017 between NKT and VBMS (which is now part of Boskalis). TenneT said it had carried out surveys of the
route previously, but these had not indicated the physical conditions of the soil. These conditions had made it necessary
to apply a “different working method” for the installation work.Meanwhile, TenneT has awarded a contract to Next
Geosolutions Europe to carry out surveys of the export cable routes of three offshore wind farm zones off the coast of the
Netherlands. The deal covers the 700MW Hollandse Kust West Beta, 700MW Ten noorden van de Waddeneilanden and
the 4GW IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta sites.
Hollandse Kust West Alpha is not covered by the contract.
Fugro Netherlands Marine has been assigned as a back-up to conduct the work, according to the contract document.
TenneT is responsible for engineering, procurement, installation, construction and operation of the connections between
the offshore wind farms and the onshore network. Source: ReNews
Hornbeck Offshore Announces Reorganization

Plan Approved By Court
Plan Supported by Nearly 100% of Secured Lenders and Unsecured Noteholders
Company on Track to Complete Restructuring in Coming Months
Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. announced that the Company's Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
(the "Plan") was approved by Judge David R. Jones of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The confirmed Plan achieved the overwhelming support of 100% of voting Class 4 First Lien Claims in amount, 99.9% of
voting Class 5 Second Lien Claims in amount, and 99.8% of voting Class 6 Unsecured Notes Claims in amount. The
Company expects to emerge from bankruptcy upon clearing various governmental approvals, which are expected to occur
within the coming few months.
"The Court's approval of our Plan of Reorganization is another significant milestone in our restructuring process and we
appreciate the overwhelming show of support from our lenders and noteholders," said Todd M. Hornbeck, CEO of
Hornbeck Offshore Services. "We are on-track to quickly complete our restructuring and emerge with a strengthened
financial foundation and well positioned for long-term success."
As previously reported, the Company has access to a $75 million debtor-in-possession term loan facility provided by
existing creditors and permitted use of existing cash on hand and cash generated from operations to support the business
during the financial restructuring process, which will enable the Company to operate in the ordinary course of business
without disruption to its customers, vendors and workforce. The Plan provides for payment in full of all vendors and
employees.
Mr. Hornbeck added: "The Company has experienced no interruption in service from vendors or employees on account of
the restructuring process. We appreciate the strong support we have received from these important constituents."
The Company has received subscriptions for a $100 million rights offering with respect to the planned issuance of shares
of New Equity, which will result in a $100 million increase in liquidity and is expected to close on the Plan's effective date.
In addition, the Plan contemplates a post-emergence first-lien senior secured term loan credit facility and second-lien
senior secured term loan credit facility, each in an aggregate principal amount to be determined.
The Plan contemplates the extinguishment of all pre-petition equity in the Company upon emergence from bankruptcy.
Trading in the Company's common stock carries extreme risk.
The Plan and related disclosure statement are available at http://cases.stretto.com/Hornbeck. For further information
regarding the restructuring, please contact the Company's solicitation agent, Stretto, at 1-(855)-258-1004 (toll-free

KM and Incat sign contract for delivery of large-

size waterjets
Kongsberg Maritime (KM) is pleased to announce a milestone order which will see the company making its first delivery of
large-size waterjets to Incat, Tasmania-based designers and builders of high-speed, environmentally-efficient wave
piercing catamaran ferries.
The scope of supply for the Incat newbuild currently designated ‘Hull 097’ exemplifies KM’s attention to detail while also
demonstrating the company’s willingness to carry out bespoke modifications to suit clients’ requirements. In addition to
four Kongsberg Kamewa S90-4 waterjets, the delivery will include a touch screen remote control system incorporating a
CanMan Touch joystick, enabling the ship to be manoeuvred remotely from the bridge. KM’s standard two-tiller
configuration for both the centre helm seat and navigator’s seat will be adapted in this instance to a single centre helm
tiller.
KM will also be providing a separate aft-facing console comprising two touch screens, one Polar joystick with heading
knob, two backup panels incorporating clutch in/clutch out buttons and one analogue steering and bucket position gauge
per jet.
This landmark order represents a coming together of two enormously influential brands within the maritime industry.
Kongsberg Kamewa – which has its roots in Sweden in the 1880s – delivered its first waterjets 40 years ago and has now
produced more than 10,000 of these propulsion systems, including the largest and most efficient waterjets available on
the market. Kongsberg Kamewa’s extensive waterjet range is now developed and fabricated from KM’s world-class
Hydrodynamic Research Centre, just outside Kristinehamn in Sweden, and from a new Product Centre in Kokkola, Finland.
The Incat group, meanwhile, owes its success to the ingenuity and drive of the visionary fast-ferry designer and builder
Robert Clifford. As the founder of the Sullivan’s Cove Ferry Company, Clifford initially made a name for himself when
SCFC’s vessels transported more than nine million passengers in two years across the Derwent River in Hobart in the
wake of the 1975 collapse of the Tasman Bridge. With Incat, Clifford and his team have spearheaded the development of
high-speed, high-tech, wave-piercing catamarans, scooping up numerous design awards and setting speed records for

Atlantic crossings. In addition, the latest Incat design is further enhanced with the highly efficient Kongsberg Generation 4
waterjets featuring a new light weight reversing bucket that reduces installed weight by around 2,000 kg.
“The new contract is a testament to the quality and reputation of our waterjets, and significantly increases our market
share in this segment,” says Richard Dreverman, Sales Manager Australia, Kongsberg Maritime. “We hope and trust that
our input will assist this catamaran ferry to set a new standard in manoeuvrability, passenger comfort and fuel efficiency.”
“Ease of installation, specification flexibility and full customer support also contributed majorly to our decision to award
this contract to Kongsberg Maritime,” adds Guy Doyle, Senior Project Manager, Incat. “It’s very important to us that we
can implement cost-effective, environmentally-responsible waterjet solutions which simultaneously provide the smoothest
and most unobtrusive passenger experience, so we’re looking forward to working closely with KONGSBERG on this
project.” Source : portnews

Shipping is Waiting for the Global Economy to

Bounce Back
The recession currently underway globally is bound to have a negative impact on demand for ships. However, the scale of
the recovery will also be key for the shipping industry, as some countries will bounce back quicker than others. Which
ones will manage to do this, could be key for shipping. “The World Bank estimates that the global economy will fall by
5.2% this year, underlining that the Covid-19 pandemic has had rapid and massive consequences despite the
implementation of unprecedented programs to support local economies”, Intermodal said in its latest weekly report.
According to Intermodal’s SnP Broker, Mr. Zisis Stylianos, “in its report on the Global Economic Outlook the World Bank
points out that in the developed economies the decline will be in the order of 7%, while in emerging ones 2.5%. This is
the deepest recession the planet has known since World War II, and 70 to 100 million people may find themselves below
the poverty line. This revised forecast shows that the damage to the global economy will be worse than estimated in April
by the International Monetary Fund that estimated a global contraction of 3% for 2020. China has announced it will not
set a growth target for 2020, as the country will focus on stabilizing employment and ensuring the living standards of its
citizens”.

The shipbroker added that “while addressing the 13th National People’s Congress, China’s Prime Minister, Li Keqiang, said
the decision not to set a development goal was related to the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. According to
the report shared at the conference, China will focus on maintaining security in the financial sector, foreign trade, foreign
investment and domestic investment. The report also listed six areas the world’s second-largest economy should focus on,
namely; job security, basic living needs, the functioning of market bodies, food and energy safety, stable industrial and
supply chains and the normal functioning of first-level functions”.
Stylianos also noted that “in the oil sector, the U.S. government is seeking to put an end to oil exports, Venezuela’s main
source of revenue, in order to weaken President Nicolas Maduro government. It may even extend its sanctions to a dozen
more tankers. So many oil companies are reviewing their plans to charter tankers found in Venezuela over the past twelve
months. According to Reuters, Chinese oil companies may soon cease chartering any tanker that arrived in Venezuela
during the last year. The aim is to avoid blacklisting if the US decides to impose sanctions on more ships that engage in
commercial activities with Caracas”.
“As far as the dry bulk sector is concerned, we are witnessing a very impressive increase in the BDI index in the past two
weeks, with the strong momentum pushing the index above the 1500 points barrier. It is worth noting that on June 1st
the BDI closed at 520 points and the Capesize index at 82 points with average daily earnings for the big bulkers at $
3,648/day. Within 15 days both the BDI and BCI increased by more 139% 2,893% respectively, while the average daily
fare of Capes went up by 448.9%. Based on the positive market sentiment and the momentum that is inspiring it, the
recovery of the ground lost in the past months appears to be even closer now”, Intermodal’s analyst concluded.

Shipbuilders Struggling with Dearth of Orders

for Offshore Facilities
South Korean shipbuilders have failed to clinch new orders for offshore facilities in the first half of the year as demand
dried up amid weak oil prices, the companies’ data showed Thursday. In addition, Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. and
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. have order backlogs of just one offshore facility each as of June, with
Samsung Heavy Industries Co. now working on three offshore facilities.
Local shipbuilders enjoyed the heyday of the lucrative offshore facility business on the back of rising oil prices in the late
2000s, but demand for such facilities has been in the doldrums since 2014 due to lower oil prices. Offshore facilities refer
to large-scale floating facilities to explore, drill, extract, store and process crude and natural gas that lies deep under the
seabed.
“Despite lower oil prices and COVID-19, shipbuilders have won new orders for liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, but
there have been nearly zero orders for commercial vessels and offshore facilities due to record low oil prices,” Choe
Kwang-sik, an analyst at HI Investment Securities Co., said in his recent report.
The new coronavirus pandemic caused a sharp drop in global oil prices as well as demand for oil, further hitting the global
oil market already plagued by oversupply from late 2019. Hyundai Heavy Industries has received no orders for offshore
facilities since October 2018 when it signed a $450 million deal with a U.S. oil developer LLOG Exploration to build a
floating production system (FPS). It has been working on just the FPS.
Reflecting this situation, Hyundai Heavy plans to combine the shipbuilding division and offshore plant division starting July
1 as part of its efforts to reduce costs.Things are not much different for Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co.
The shipbuilder has bagged no new orders for offshore facilities since December last year, when it clinched a $200 million
deal with major U.S. oil producer Chevron Corp. to build the hull of a semi-submersible floating production unit for the
first time since 2014.
In an effort to ease the sluggish business conditions, Daewoo Shipbuilding has been redeploying its workers from the
offshore facility business division to the shipbuilding division since last year. Samsung Heavy also has failed to clinch any
new orders since April 2019, when it signed a $963 million deal with an Asian firm to build a floating production and
storage offloading (FPSO) unit designed to process and store oil or natural gas. The shipbuilder has an order backlog of
three offshore plants — one FPSO, one floating production unit (FPU) and one floating LNG system. “We have no plan to
downsize the offshore facility business division yet,” a company official said, requesting anonymity. Source: Yonhap

GTT will design two very large LNG land storage

tanks in China
As part of the BGG1 Tianjin Nangang LNG terminal2, GTT has received an order from the company China Huanqiu
Contracting & Engineering Co. Ltd. (HQC) for the design of two Membrane Full Containment LNG storage tanks. The two
tanks, each with a net capacity of 220,000 m3, will be the largest land storage tanks in China.
This order follows the agreement signed in November 2019 between GTT and the Chinese major state-owned company
Beijing Enterprises Group (BEG), at the occasion of the presidential visit in China of French President Emmanuel Macron,
in presence of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Mr. Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT declared: “We are honoured that the project promoted by HQC,
proposing our technology, has been awarded. GTT is proud to contribute in the technological partnership between France
and China. We are very happy to collaborate with BGG, a long-lasting partner of ENGIE, and HQC to design two very large
Membrane Full Containment tanks in China.”
GTT will design these membrane Full Containment tanks which will be fitted with the GST® technology developed by
GTT. The onshore storage tanks will be located in the Tianjin south port Industrial Zone in China, and are expected to be
commissioned during the last quarter of 2022.
Mrs. Wang Xinge, Chairwoman of HQC said at the occasion: “With the support of GTT, HQC had deeply prepared the
company on building the first Membrane Full Containment tank in China. We are proud to have been awarded this project
and to lead the innovation in China together with Beijing Gas and GTT.”
Mrs. Li Yalan, Chairwoman of the board of BGG added: “BGG has carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the
application of Membrane technology onshore, with national and international experts. Besides the high level of safety and
the intrinsic technical merits of the Membrane system for onshore application, this technology is more cost effective and
requires less material than other available technologies, which leads to a significant reduction of the impact on the
environment. Going forward, BGG is proud to take the leading role towards more environmental friendly infrastructure
together with HQC and GTT for this national emergency project.” Source: GTT

Konecranes delivers African industry first reach

stacker to APM Terminals in PE
Konecranes, whose products are distributed in South Africa by EIE Group’s Heavy Lift division, has delivered its
Konecranes SMV 4531 TC5 reach stacker to APM Terminals in Port Elizabeth.
A first of its kind in operation in Africa, the product is part of APM’s plan to reduce emissions at its port terminal
operations. Further, the implementation of the product emphasises APM’s on-going commitment to offer versatile and
flexible container handling solutions at its port terminal operations.
Craig Childs, EIE Group Sales Executive says that the group understood the customer’s mandate of instilling green
practices. “It is by truly understanding the customers’ business and the challenges that they may be confronted with that
we were able to come up with the best solution possible, and we believe that the Konecranes SMV 4531 TC5 reach
stacker meets all these requirements and more,” he says. Lenny Naidoo, Key Account Sales for EIE Group and Product

Specialist for Konecranes products, says Konecranes has an extensive history as a trusted supplier to the container ports
and intermodal terminal sectors. “Our container handling customers, in particular, demand a lot from our products and
expect them to add value to their operations. To date, we have an impressive track record of successfully meeting and
exceeding customer requirements year on year.” The significance of the Konecranes SMV 4531 TC5 lies in its
implementation of technological advanced innovations such as the Konecranes Flow Drive driveline, which features
Hydrovariable Transmission technology, courtesy of prominent Dana Rexroth transmission systems.
By combining the smoothness of hydrostatic transmissions with the fuel economy characteristics of torque converter type
transmissions has resulted in a product that encapsulates the best of both worlds. This, coupled with a smaller, but more
powerful Volvo TAD-853-VE engine, provides greater efficiency and overall lower running costs than that of convention
type reach stacker machinery.
“Konecranes invests significantly in reach stacker R&D to be the first to offer new technologies that improve performance
and safety,” says Naidoo. “We also ensure that our reach stackers are fully compliant with emissions regulations,
anticipating their evolution as a normal part of our product development process.” The multifunctional capabilities of the
reach stacker means that Konecranes can be used across multiple industries and applications. This said, they feature a
number of attachments for the majority of applications, including steel handling clamps, pipe and tube handling
attachments, as well as lifting hooks. Their load lifting capacities are impressive, with the first row managing up to 45-ton,
the second row up to 31-ton, and the third row lifting a remarkable 16-ton. The patented Optima cabin design is spacious
and allows customers the ability to easily accommodate additional equipment should the application require. Additionally,
the cabin provides greater operator visibility through the large lowered window, which does not have corner posts, but
boasts a thin, exceptionally strong cross-member and curved panels.
The industry-leading and state-of-the-art Konecranes TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring fleet management system
enables the operator to track the real usage of the product, providing an online view and PDF reports for scheduled
maintenance, thereby greatly improving product uptime. With safety being a prominent concern in the industry, the
system provides safety alerts on various issues such as overheating, attempted overloads, and emergency stops, with the
notification delivered automatically via email or text message to safety personnel.
Andre van den Berg, Area Depots Assets Manager APM Terminals Southern Africa, says that the Konecranes SMV 4531
TC5 reach stacker has greatly improved operational turnaround time and cost savings by using less fuel than previous
equipment. He adds that the CHE Specialist in particular is impressed with the performance, technical specifications,
visibility and comfort of the reach stacker. “With Konecranes products being utilised across multiple industries globally,
including for container handling and industrial application, APM Terminals’ investment in this product, particularly during
the global pandemic, bears testament to its confidence in the product to provide them with not only a more efficient
means to do business, but one that will ensure continuous longevity and reliability,” concludes Naidoo. Source :

Exceptional growth in export of tree logs from

Port of Rotterdam
Since 2018, around 180,000 ha of German woodlands have been lost to drought and the advancing bark beetle. This
wood is exported to China from various ports, including Rotterdam, on a large scale. Before being greenlighted for export,
these shipments have to be treated at a fumigation facility such as the one found in the Waalhaven area. After this, the
container is transported by inland vessel to the deep sea terminals at Maasvlakte, and from there onwards to Asia.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of containers with all sorts of different wood types are shipped from Europe to China.
Most of them contain tree logs that are processed in China itself into final products – particleboard and furniture, for
example.
In the past, these containers were usually treated with an insecticide to kill the insects living in the shipment. But when
this wood was sawed in China, there still turned out to be live insects under the bark. That’s why since a few years ago,
China has required containers with tree logs to be either fumigated or heat-treated before departing for China.
Bark beetle
The dry weather and high temperatures of the past two summers have enabled the bark beetle to gain a foothold in
Germany’s forests. Trees produce less resin during dry spells. This allows the bark beetle to nest and reproduce,
destroying thousands of trees in the process.
There is a massive demand for this dead wood in China. Chinese companies use it to manufacture all sorts of products,
which are then imported by European firms. Guitars, for example, or furniture. Or DIY products, sales of which have been
boosted by the increase in home improvement projects as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, among other things.
Quarantining

Before this wood is approved for export, it first has to be fumigated. This treatment kills the bark beetle, preventing its
spread. Because the risk of this insect nesting in the forests of other countries has increased considerably due to the
container transport of wood.
That is why fumigation, also referred to as quarantining, has been made mandatory for outgoing shipments. Over the
past two months, Kwaliteit Gasmeting Nederland (KGN), which specialises in fumigation and gas measurements, has
already fumigated over 2,400 containers with dead wood. KGN has reported a 350 percent increase in treatments
compared to last year.
Increased fumigation capacity in Rotterdam
The huge increase in the demand for fumigation services in the Rotterdam region can be attributed to insufficient capacity
in neighbouring countries. KGN offers a local capacity of three fumigation chambers – in the port of Rotterdam, at
Waalhaven and at Maasvlakte.
‘The big advantage of our locations is that we can accommodate truck, inland shipping and rail volumes. At present, we
have a capacity of over 500 containers per run,’ says Dennis de Roo of D&R Group.
Joint venture
KGN is a joint venture of EWS Group and Van Donge & de Roo Group, or D&R Group for short. EWS Group specialises in
fumigation, all forms of pest control, gas measurements and the ventilation of containers in Europe. Van Donge & de Roo
is a global provider of logistics services in the areas of sea cargo and air freight, customs, intermodal transport via inland
shipping/rail and depot services in Antwerp and Rotterdam.The partners’ combined strengths enable KGN to offer a
comprehensive set of fumigation-related services, from fumigation to transport arrangements, customs facilities and
certification. Source : Portnews
Valenciaport begins studies for the Third Dock of

the Port of Sagunto
The President of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), Aurelio Martínez, has announced that “Valenciaport is going to
begin studies for the third dock in the Port of Sagunto. The future of Valenciaport’s growth lies in Sagunto and we must
think about the design of the third basin that we want for the Port of Sagunto to include it in the Strategic Plan”.
Martínez explained that “given the complexity of the port works and the fact that traffic continues to grow, it is time to
start thinking about this third dock to adapt it to the current needs of the market and port activity”. The president of the
PAV has indicated that “we have received the support of the mayor of Sagunto to recover the project of the third dock, a
proof of the confidence of the City council in this initiative and in the economic activity that the port activity generates”.
At the press conference following the PAV Board of Directors meeting, Martínez highlighted the financial support provided
by Valenciaport to Valencian companies to overcome the Coronavirus crisis, which, between the generation of liquidity
and the reduction of port taxes, exceeds 60 million euros. Of these, 40 million are generated liquidity in advance of
payment to suppliers and delayed payments. In addition, there is a forecast of about 19 million in the reduction of fees.
“This will affect the accounts of Valenciaport but will benefit companies to overcome the crisis, a sign of the support of
the PAV to the economic activity of our business network,” said Aurelio Martinez. Source : Portnews

Cruiseschepen voorlopig niet welkom in Spaanse

havens
Op zaterdag heeft het Ministerie van Transport in een artikel in de Staatscourant BOE bekend gemaakt dat cruiseschepen
voorlopig niet welkom zijn in Spaanse havens. Het gaat om de ‘buques de pasaje tipo crucero’ ofwel cruiseschepen die
normaal gesproken in veel havens zoals Barcelona, Palma (Mallorca), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Valencia of Málaga te
zien zijn en miljoenen toeristen brengen. In 2019 kwamen er bijna 11 miljoen toeristen via cruiseschepen naar Spanje. In

Barcelona waren dat 3,1 miljoen toeristen, op de Balearen eilanden 2,8 miljoen, in de haven van Las Palmas de Gran
Canaria 2,4 miljoen en in Santa Cruz de Tenerife iets meer dan 1 miljoen toeristen. Maar de corona-crisis heeft ervoor
gezorgd dat het cruiseschiptoerisme compleet stil is komen te liggen. Tijdens de noodtoestand waren cruiseschepen in
Spanje al niet welkom en nu sinds 21 juni de grenzen weer open zijn (of eigenlijk nu er geen grenscontroles meer zijn) op
land, bij vliegvelden en havens zouden cruiseschip passagiers uit EU- en Schengenlanden weer het land binnen mogen
komen.
Maar de regering heeft deze zaterdag de BOE-A-2020-6847 geplaatst waarin duidelijk staat dat cruiseschepen nog steeds
niet welkom zijn in de Spaanse havens. Het opvallende is dat er geen einddatum bij vermeld staat en slechts de
opmerking ‘hasta la finalización de la situación de crisis sanitaria’ ofwel tot het einde van de gezondheidscrisis. Vanaf 1 juli
gaan de grenzen in de Europese Unie open voor reizigers van buiten de EU maar niet alle landen zijn welkom in de EU-
landen. Bron : Spanjevandaag
Falling foul of Venezuelan sanctions

America’s sanctions on Venezuela are nothing new. For more than a decade now, the US has imposed sanctions in
response to activities of the Venezuelan government and Venezuelan individuals. But the situation has escalated this
month with the Trump Administration significantly expanding sanctions in response to what it terms the “authoritarian
leadership” of disputed president Nicolás Maduro. As of June 1, 2020, the US Treasury Department had imposed sanctions
on at least 144 Venezuelan or Venezuelan-connected individuals, and the US State Department had revoked the visas of
hundreds of individuals and their families.
Events ramped up further as the month progressed with two announcements from the US Treasury listing sanctioned
companies and ships that had engaged in “illicit schemes with designated persons”. State-owned Petroleos de Venezuela,
SA (PdVSA) is cited by the Treasury as central the corruption in Venezuela.
“As the illegitimate Maduro regime has done before, the regime turned to Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PdVSA), its
primary conduit for corruption, and the institutions that no longer serve its people, to exploit and profit from Venezuela’s
natural resources,” said the Treasury. “The exploitation of Venezuela’s natural resources, including oil, for the benefit of
the illegitimate regime of President Maduro and his cronies is unacceptable.”
The latest rounds of sanctioned company and vessel designations restate the seriousness of the US’ resolve in this matter
and have not been taken lightly. Three Greece-based shipping firms related to these sanctions have publicly halted trade
with Venezuela. Athens-based Dynacom Tankers Management was “committed to refraining from any future business
involving Venezuela”. NGM Energy SA said it has implemented a strict policy against servicing vessels intending to call at
Venezuela or to load cargo of Venezuelan origin in the future. Thenamaris, meanwhile, said it was fully co-operating with
US authorities on sanctions imposed on one of the ships.
Escalation of tensions
Lawyer Steptoe & Johnson LLP said in a briefing note that the actions are just the latest in a string of recent designations
targeting entities involved in the Venezuelan oil sector and the actions offer a number of insights for companies doing

business with Venezuela and operating in the oil and shipping industries more broadly. Outlining takeaways, the firm
pointed out that firstly the companies cited in the latest sanctions listing sought to structure their dealings in a sanctions
compliant manner. “The fact that Libre Abordo and Schlager took a number of measures to promote compliance with US
sanctions, but were ultimately designated, demonstrates the complexity of US sanctions and the importance of consulting
with experienced counsel prior to engaging in conduct that may present sanctions risks.”
Secondly, Steptoe & Johnson references the accelerated response from the US Treasury. “The very rapid two week
delisting of these entities and vessels demonstrates the high priority that OFAC has placed on the delisting process in this
instance, in the wake of rumours and concerns in the market about significant targeting of vessels that have served
Venezuela and possible increases in global shipping rates.”
Areas to watch
Insurer Skuld advises that while the US sanction provisions are “inherently vague, and possibly subject to change”, their
effects on operations are nevertheless already being felt. It advises that vessel owners or operators who have contracts
directly with PdVSA, or PdVSA subsidiaries, which oblige the vessels to carry the cargoes to the US, will be affected. “The
sanctions will likely impinge most directly upon vessels already on charter to PdVSA, or any subsidiary, to carry cargoes to
the US, and more particularly those vessels already loaded.”
Added to this, any ensuing delays, or other issues regarding the disposition of loaded cargo, may give rise to disputes
between owners and charterers. More generally, Skuld adds that vessels scheduled to call in Venezuela, but which might
not otherwise be subject to sanctions (no carriage to the US) may still encounter problems if they are deemed
“facilitators” or may be subject to delays or other issues due to the general conditions now prevailing in Venezuela.
The sanctions have already had the desired effect: Venezuela’s oil exports fell from 737,000 bpd in April to 573,000 bpd in
May, according to Trading Economics, marking an historic low. Added to this, inventories in Venezuela are filling up
quickly and with ships refusing to lift the only option is to shutter production.
While the Treasury has made it clear that US sanctions need not be permanent – sanctions are intended to “bring about a
positive change of behaviour” – there seems to be little effort from Venezuela’s Maduro regime to address issues.
Treasury Secretary Steven T Mnuchin has criticised the Maduro regime for enlisting the help of maritime companies and
their vessels to continue the exploitation of Venezuela’s natural resources “for the regime’s profit”, adding that “the United
States will continue to target those who support this corrupt regime and contribute to the suffering of the Venezuelan
people”. Source: Baltic Exchange
