  • APM Annual Report 2013 New Cover Ctc
    CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board, I present to you the first Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2013 after assuming the Chairmanship. The global economy continued to face many challenges. Looking back on 2013, your Company has a good reason to be satisfied. Strong container volume growth despite demand not growing at the rate seen in the past, operational productivity, and superior rail connectivity have been the mainstay of our performance this year. Bulk cargo remained steady during the year though the overall outlook is likely to remain weak in the absence of clarity in the power purchase policy, as well as adverse rail freight differential for coal transportation for power plants located in the Northern hinterland. The construction of tanks by 3 liquid cargo operators at Pipavav is in advanced stages of completion. With this the handling of Liquid Cargo is likely to commence very soon. 2013 represented a year of strong growth in both revenue and profitability. Operating revenue increased by 24% to ` 5,179.35 Million while EBITDA grew 41% to ` 2,568 Million, driven mainly by a substantial improvement in container volumes and realization. During the year, your Company commenced handling of double stack high cube container trains in collaboration with its JV partner, Pipavav Railway Corporation Limited (PRCL). This has benefitted Exim Trade by reducing transit time and improved efficiency to the main cargo generating areas across North and North West India. The availability of capable rail connections will decrease congestion on roads, enable fuel savings and benefit the environment.

  • Cold Ironing Report
    PRELIMINARY DRAFT—DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an analysis of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of cold-ironing ocean-going vessels while docked at California ports. Cold-ironing refers to shutting down auxiliary engines on ships while in port and connecting to electrical power supplied at the dock, thus eliminating virtually all emissions from a ship while it is in port. (Cold-ironing is also referred to as “shore power” and alternative maritime power). The term “cold-ironing” comes from the act of dry-docking a vessel, which involves shutting down all on-board combustion, resulting in the vessel going “cold.” Without cold-ironing, auxiliary engines run continuously while a ship is docked, or “hotelled,” at a berth to power lighting, ventilation, pumps, communication, and other onboard equipment. Ships can hotel for several hours or several days. Hotelling emissions from ship auxiliary engines are significant contributors to particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines (diesel PM), California’s most significant toxic air contaminant. Diesel PM emissions are estimated to be responsible for about 70 percent of the total ambient air toxics risk in California. Communities adjacent to the ports are exposed to elevated cancer risk and other health impacts from these hotelling emissions. As indicated in a recent Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) risk analysis conducted for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, “Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” 20 percent of total diesel PM emissions at these ports comes from hotelling emissions. Other sources of diesel PM include emissions from ship transit and maneuvering, cargo-handling equipment, and rail and truck operations.

  • Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority Speech During the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam Opening Ceremony, 24 April 2015
    Allard Castelein, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority speech during the APM Terminals Maasvlakte II Rotterdam opening ceremony, 24 April 2015. Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is almost six years to the day – 28 April 2009 – that we celebrated the start of construction on Maasvlakte 2, in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Beatrix. This event took place on the edge of the first Maasvlakte. We had just started the reclamation activities, and as you looked out to sea, you could just make out a tiny hump of sand, some 3 kilometres off shore. Over the past six years, many people have worked very hard to create Maasvlakte 2, and to add another 2000 ha of land to the Kingdom of the Netherlands without fighting, and to realise a world class, extremely modern container terminal at this site. An accomplishment of which we all can be exceptionally proud. In the Dutch language quite a few expressions have a maritime context. One example is ‘in zee gaan met iemand’: ‘to go to sea with someone’. We all know this means that you’ve decided to join forces; to team up; to work together. Because you share the same goal, and because you trust one another. If there’s one expression that is particularly appropriate for APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam, it’s that we met elkaar in zee zijn gegaan, we have gone to sea with each other. APM Terminals and the Port of Rotterdam already signed the contract for this terminal as early as June 2006: nine years ago.
