Record low newbuild orders placed in Q2 2019

Newbuilding orders dropped to record lows in Q2 2019. VesselsValue’s Head Cargo Analyst, Olivia Watkins, reviews which yards have received orders and which vessel types have been popular SHIPPING & TRANSPORT purchases. Orders for container vessels fell a significant 49%, year on year, and LNG newbuilds by 39%. LPG newbuilds fell even further, by 73%, and only one offshore newbuild order was placed in the first six months of 2019.

BULKERS The total number of bulker newbuild orders is down 73% for the first half of 2019 compared to the same period in

2018. So far this year, Panamaxes have been the most popular size to order with an interesting order placed by Klaveness Combination carriers for two Panamax CABUs (83,600dwt, 2020, Jiangsu New Yangzijiang) which will increase the global fleet to a total of 19 caustic soda/bulk carriers. 17 of these are owned by Klaveness. Despite the low earnings seen earlier this year across the Capesize sector, 13 orders were placed by COSCO bulk for 208,000dwt vessels at COSCO Shipping HI for US$54 million each. In comparison to the 45 orders this time last year for Capesizes, the 13 seems minimal.

Vessel classes (i.e. number of vessel classes, vessel arrival time, to as a supply chain; these industries use from Handy to post-Panamax classes) are train and vessel loading rate, weather intermediate inventories and other particularly important because, together interruptions, number of customers, measures to manage variability. There are with the number of products to store number of product types, and frequency of many publications on the subject of before sale, they determine the size of the order placement. variability in supply chains and even more product storage building. Four factors (number of vessel classes, publications on the theme of supply chain. In the rail network, an accepted order number of customers, number of product We reviewed this broad literature in search triggers a vessel call, which triggers one or types, and frequency of order placement) of publications most relevant to the Jansen more train calls. At the Jansen site, a were organized in two (2) factorial designs Project. Our review highlighted the number of rail sidings are planned to hold of the 23 type. Each factor was tested at dominance of demand variability on trains, whether in an empty state until two levels (i.e. without variability vs with perturbing the stability of a supply chain. loading begins or in a full state until ready variability): 1 or 4 vessel classes, 1 or 5 We identified frequency of order to dispatch to the port terminal. During customers, 1 or 2 products, and 1 or 10 placement as the most significant source of transit to the port terminal, a train can order schedules.

The adaptive lighting, an intelligent lighting control system for XPower wheel loaders, ensures even greater levels of safety on the company’s premises. Positive experiences with an L 580 XPower® already in operation at the machine park also influenced the purchasing decision. Dowideit uses the new L 586 XPower® for recycling building rubble, soil preparation and composting. The wheel loader weighs almost 34 tonnes and has a considerable tip load of 23,500kg. It is in operation for around ten hours a day and consumes an average of 14.8 litres of fuel per operating hour when loading. Safety is of paramount importance at the Dowideit recycling centre. Poor light conditions in the operating area pose difficult challenges to wheel loader operators when working. This is particularly the case in winter when shift work begins at dawn and ends at dusk. To counter this problem, the new L 586 XPower® is equipped with adaptive working lighting. This consists of an intelligent lighting control system which Liebherr offers as an option. The adaptive working lighting features an additional LED headlight which optimizes the light conditions in the front section when the working attachment is raised. The result is an ideally illuminated operating area. Glare, reflections and shadows are reduced for the machine operator. The adaptive working lighting also features four dimmable working headlights on the upper edge of the cab (LED or halogen) and two standard driving headlights (LED or halogen), providing good light conditions and ensuring a high degree of safety. “Thanks to the adaptive working lighting, the wheel loader operating area is completely illuminated. There is now a better overview of shaded areas and other areas which are difficult to SOME THINK see during loading. This increases safety on our site and makes daily work easier for my machine operators,” explains managing director Thomas Dowideit enthusiastically.

HPC uses international experience to assist bulk operators in the implementation of new facilities

FIELD REPORTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE HPC Hamburg Port Consulting is active Chile. around the globe with projects in South www.drycargomag.com and North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. HPC’s specialization on port facilities ranges from port masterplans over operational designs and automation to the commissioning of heavy port equipment.

Chile: Recently, HPC has successfully completed professional engineering services for an unloading platform with two bulk handling grab-type ship-unloader gantry cranes. As part of a Chilean infrastructure project ensuring electrical power supply, the coal unloading platform constitutes a crucial element. “We state JULY 2019 the requirements with absolute clarity in we make sure that our customers receive platform crane specifications, assisted in the specifications and make them part of high-quality equipment with a long lifetime technical and commercial contract the contract with the vendor,” says HPC and minimum maintenance cost.” HPC’s negotiations with the supplier until final engineer Alexander Koschinsky: “In this way engineers elaborated the unloading contract signing, permanently supervised DCi
