The project with a brand new port at Alcantara, made the metal. DCi reason is simple says Klabin. Consumers all over the world are increasingly switching from using plastic packaging, to using paper instead. A Klabin study found that 160mt of the 400mt of plastics made each year, is now used to make non-return plastic packaging, illustrating the size of the potential for paper packaging. Although the Brazilian president may be sceptical about climate change, many consumers around the world are not. The new enthusiasm for paper packaging has allowed Klabin to borrow the funds needed to finance its new expansions at very low rates, over an eight year period. It seems likely to be two more years before Vale can attain its goal of mining and exporting 400mt of ore a year, planned for 2019. The target had to be pushed back following enforced mine closures in Minas Gerais state, in the wake of the collapse of the dam at the Brumadinho mine. But demand for the company’s very high grade ore continues strong, particularly in China. Mills there are having to give priority to reducing pollution, so are switching to top quality Brazilian ore rather than lower grade Chinese or Indian ores. This has been coupled with difficulties affecting producers in Australia, where several costly pieces of processing equipment are having to be replaced. So Vale’s revenues continue high, even though the average world price of ore dipped below $80 a tonne last DC 14 JANUARY 2020 www.drycargomag.com i SHIPPING & TRANSPORT NEWS tonne buffer storage facility, workshops, ships’ holds. telescopic shiploaderwillfeed bauxite into bauxitetothepointofloading.transport A hoppers withfeeder beltsandconveyors to system.

golfettosangati.com Shipping sector proposes US$5 billion R&D board to cut emissions The global maritime transport industry has submitted a proposal to form the world’s first collaborative shipping R&D programme to help eliminate CO2 emissions from international shipping. The proposal includes core funding from shipping companies across the world of about US$5 billion over a 10-year period.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROPOSAL: v a new non-governmental Research & Development organization to pave the way for decarbonization of shipping. v core funding from shipping companies across the world of about US$5 billion over a ten-year period. v to accelerate the development of commercially viable zero- carbon emission ships by the early 2030s.

International maritime transport carries around 90% of global trade and is currently responsible for approximately 2% of the world’s anthropogenic CO2 emissions. To achieve the Paris Agreement’s climate change goals, rapid decarbonization is vital – also for international shipping. It is shipping’s global regulator, the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO), which has responsibility for regulating the reduction of CO2 emissions by international shipping. The industry-wide move to accelerate R&D is necessary to ensure the ambitious CO2 reduction targets agreed to by IMO Member States in 2018 are met. These IMO targets include an absolute cut in the sector’s total greenhouse gas emissions of at least 50% by 2050, regardless of trade growth, with full decarbonization shortly after. The 2050 target will require a carbon SOME THINK efficiency improvement of up to 90%, which is incompatible with a continued long-term use of fossil fuels by commercial shipping. Meeting the IMO GHG reduction goals will require the RAW MATERIAL deployment of new zero-carbon technologies and propulsion systems, such as green hydrogen and ammonia, fuel cells, batteries TRANSPORT and synthetic fuels produced from renewable energy sources. These do not yet exist in a form or scale that can be applied to large commercial ships, especially those engaged in transoceanic voyages REQUIRES A and which are currently dependent on fossil fuels. The shipping industry is proposing the establishment of an COMPLEX INFRA- International Maritime Research and Development Board (IMRB), a non-governmental R&D organization that would be overseen by IMO Member States.

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT Interview with Franz-W. Aumund

Fulfil ideas. Respect people and their cultures. Shape the future together.

Historical images of the railway wagon tippler and All photos: AUMUND. curved steel plate conveyor.

stablished in 1922 by his grandfather, Professor Heinrich Aumund, and carried on by his father, Günter Claus Aumund, E the company has experienced a third generation since 1966, with Franz-W. Aumund being at the helm for over 30 years as Owner and President of the AUMUND Group of Companies, international leader in bulk materials conveying and storage technology. The AUMUND Group sets technological standards with its extremely reliable machines for conveying and storing bulk materials, in a multitude of key industries such as cement, limestone, gypsum, mining www.drycargomag.com & minerals, iron & steel, chemicals, fertilizer, alternative fuels and ports and terminals, all over the world. Franz-W. Aumund explains in this interview what makes the Group successful, why he places so much emphasis on unity between the global members of the AUMUND Group, why he is strongly involved with social causes, and how he sees the future.

Question: Mr Aumund, your name stands for a medium-sized group of companies enjoying international success over many decades, JANUARY 2020 beginning with the supply of AUMUND steel pan conveyors to coal mines. With the development of a pan conveyor to travel a curved course, AUMUND set the first technological standard in this industry. This was followed by the wagon tippler and many other DCi
