Yearly Volumes Surge at King Abdullah Port
King Abdullah Port concluded 2018 with an increase of 36% in its annual throughput, which reached 2.3 million TEUs by the end of the year.
The annual increase in throughput was primarily achieved in conjunction with an 8% increase in imports and exports compared to 2017, the port management said.
The results achieved by King Abdullah Port in 2018 include an increase in transshipment volume reaching 1.8 million TEUs, which is a 44% increase compared to 2017. Meanwhile, the number of vessels received by the port increased to 911 vessels, a 12% increase compared to 820 vessels in 2017.
"We achieved a record 50% increase in container handling in the first half of 2018, and we are moving forward with our development plans to provide best practices in the fields of port development and operation as well as supporting logistical services," Rayan Qutub, King Abdullah Port CEO, said.
Since its inception in the last quarter of 2013 the number of containers handled by the port has reached 7.2 million TEUs.
Owned by the Ports Development Company, King Abdullah Port was officially inaugurated on February 11, 2019, by Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.
During the ceremony, the port, which is the region s first port to be fully owned, developed, and operated by the private sector, unveiled a number of agreements signed with several undisclosed parties.

DNV GL to Class Sailing Vessel Sea Cloud Spirit
Classification society DNV GL has signed a classification contract for the passenger sailing ship Sea Cloud Spirit, being built by Metalships & Docks in Vigo, Spain.

Iceland s First Electric Ferry to Feature ABB Technology
Technology company ABB has been selected to supply integrated power and electric storage solutions to the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration s new electric ferry which will operate on an Icelandic route known for its harsh weather conditions.
The 70-meter-long ship will take 3,600 annual trips in the rough waters between Landeyjahöfn on the mainland and the Westman Island, covering 13 km in about 45 minutes.
The ferry, with a capacity of 550 passengers and 75 cars, is designed by Polarkonsult and is due for delivery from the Crist S.A. shipyard in 2019.
The vessel will feature a large battery pack and is designed to operate in a fully electric mode, with onshore charging in both harbors. During particularly challenging weather conditions, when the consumption of battery power may exceed the available energy, the ferry will utilize its diesel-electric generator set, according to ABB.
As informed, the new ferry will replace the 1992-built MF Herjolfur in line with Iceland s incentives to promote electric modes of transportation. With 80 percent of Iceland s energy coming from non-fossil resources, led by hydropower and geothermal energy, the newbuilt vessel is aimed at supporting Iceland s sustainability goals.
"Opting for ABB s electric solutions allows the vessel to meet design constraints that initially seem in conflict: it is optimized for cleaner operation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, whilst power is sufficient to navigate some very hazardous waters safely," Sigurdur Gretarsson, Director of Maritime Division, Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, said.
ABB s power distribution system will allow the batteries to connect directly to the DC link, which helps avoids losses of power during charging and discharging. Additionally, the system can allow for variable speed operation of the diesel engines, which results in reduced fuel consumption.
The scope of ABB supply also includes generators, transformers, switchboards, the power and energy management system (PEMS) and the energy storage control system (ESCS). The ferry will be connected to ABB Ability Collaborative Centers Infrastructure. This network uses remote equipment monitoring and data analytics to enable remote technical support, as well as predictive maintenance and planned interventions.
According to the company, crucial to the supporting infrastructure shoreside is the shore power connection delivered by ABB to recharge the battery with a power of 2500kW while the ferry is in the dock. On average, it will take about 30 minutes to recharge.
"Selection of ABB s technologies for a vessel operating on such a tough route, where the water depth is sometimes limited to 4.5 meters, but wave heights can reach 3.5 meters, sets a new benchmark for battery power on board a ship," Juha Koskela, Managing Director, ABB Marine & Ports, commented.
"This project demonstrates how system integration - whether on board the ship or between the ship s crew and shoreside expertise - is a key success factor for vessel management," Koskela added.
The new ferry will not only reduce the environmental impact but also improve the regularity of the connection. Previously, during rough weather, the ferry operating the route would travel to an alternative harbor to dock safely, extending the sailing time from 45 minutes to close to 3 hours and causing motion sickness in passengers.
The new ferry will be able to enter the destination harbor in challenging weather conditions most of the time, with the rare exception of particularly rough seas.

Maersk Signs Compliant Fuel Deal with PBF Logistics
Danish shipping major Maersk has signed an agreement with PBF Logistics, which would deliver 10% of its annual fuel demand ahead of the International Maritime Organization s (IMO) 2020 global sulphur regulation.
Under the deal, Maersk would source and PBFX would process crude oil at CPI Operations LLC, a PBF Logistics LP terminal facility in New Jersey, United States. This would enable Maersk Oil Trading to supply IMO 2020-compliant 0.5% marine fuel to its customers on the US East Coast.
Annual production will be around 1.25 million metric tonnes (mt), the equivalent of around 10% of A.P. Moller - Maersk s annual fuel demand.
"This processing agreement forms a cornerstone in Maersk s fuel sourcing strategy for the IMO 2020 sulphur cap," Niels Henrik Lindegaard, Head of Maersk Oil Trading, said.
"The vast majority of our fleet will comply with the regulation through use of compliant low sulfur fuels. With the capability to produce and store compliant low sulfur fuel on the U.S. East Coast we take control of the fuel supply in a key maritime hub for us. We will continue our drive to ensure compliance in all geographies come 2020."
In August 2018, Maersk and Vopak signed a leasing agreement for storage of 2.3 million mt 0.5% compliant fuel, equivalent of around 20% of Maersk s annual fuel demand, at the Vopak Europoort Terminal in Rotterdam.
