The Port of Mobile is one of the nation’s largest seaports in overall cargo volume handling more than 55 million tons of cargo annually. Located on the northern Gulf of Mexico, the full service, public seaport terminals are owned by the Alabama State Port Authority handling containerized, breakbulk, dry and liquid bulk, frozen poultry, and oversized/heavy lift car-goes.

Since 2000, the Port Authority has invested over $700 million in port improvements, including a $300 mil-lion container terminal (APM Terminals Mobile); a $120 million expansion program at McDuffie Coal Terminal; a $110 million steel handing facility; a $33 million turning basin serving Post-Pan-amax and Cape Class vessels; a $26 million rail ferry terminal; a $36 million state-of-the-art steel coil handling facil-ity served by rail, truck, barge and a 40 ft. draft ship dock.

In 2016, the Port Authority will

complete Phase One of a $36 million intermodal container transfer facility (ICTF) providing containerized cargo shippers via the Port of Mobile and five Class I railroads expanded market access into the Southeast, Midwest, and the Ohio and Tennessee River val-leys. This investment complements the recent announcement by APM Terminals of $40 Million in yard and equipment improvements, including the addition of two Super Post Pana-max cranes. Also on the horizon is a planned automobile (RO/RO) terminal and an intermodal logistics park.

The Alabama State Port Authority’s terminals connect to two interstate systems (I-10 and I-65) and five Class I railroads (CSX, Canadian National, Burlington Northern Santa Fe/Alabama & Gulf Coast Railroad, Norfolk South-ern and Kansas City Southern), and is home to the C.G. Railway, providing waterborne rail service every four days to Mexico. The Authority’s terminals

also connect to nearly 15,000 miles of inland and intracoastal waterways pro-viding low cost water access to ports along the Gulf of Mexico, the Tennes-see, the Ohio, and Upper Mississippi Rivers. The transportation assets coupled with a strong labor market and community-state-federal support make the Port of Mobile one of the nation’s fastest growing ports.

HANSA HEAVY LIFT

HANSA HEAVY LIFT’s young fleet of vessels spe-cially adapted to deal with any sized cargo, no matter the challenge

HANSA HEAVY LIFT is a global tramp carrier special-izing in the transportation of super heavy lift, heavy lift and project cargoes, with a grow-ing focus on the offshore and Transport and Installation (T&I) markets.

The company’s vessels are equipped with cranes capable of lifting up to 1,400 metric tons, the company offers customized transport solutions through its in-house team of engineers and regional office structure.

“Our vessels have been adapted in order to carry out increasingly complex demands from our clients, to help us meet any challenge,” said Roger Iliffe, Chief Execu-tive Officer (CEO), HANSA HEAVY LIFT.

“We have an in-house team of highly skilled engi-neers and naval architects with shipyard, offshore and installation backgrounds, which gives us the indepen-dence needed to handle these projects internally without any assistance from third parties. In-house engineering expertise is essential and having ves-sels with flexible stowage and up-to-date equipment is also a must.”

The company operates one of the biggest heavy lift fleets in the world, with 19 multipurpose heavy lift ves-sels complying with the most up-to-date operational and equipment standards.

Each ship carries a large variety of certified lifting beams, spreaders, grommets, shackles, load spreading platforms, Yoko-hama fenders and lashing equipment in order to ensure vessels of each class are interchangeable and be pre-pared for any job at any time.

HANSA HEAVY LIFT’s vessels hold one of the high-est ice-class, E3 equivalent to Finnish-Swedish 1A and are compliant with the Off-shore Vessel Inspection Database (OVID). This means the vessels can travel without an icebreaker in first year ice up to one meter thick.

The shipping line has significant experience of the Northern Sea Route saving customers’ valuable time and cost, reducing fuel consump-

tion and eliminating the risk of piracy.

The carrier recently became one of only nine shipping companies in the world to be recognised with a DNV GL Excellence - Five Stars Award for the high quality of its management systems.

The award was given for the quality of its management systems including ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Envi-ronment), BS OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety) and ISM (International Safety Manage-ment) / ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Secu-rity) Code.

AND RO/RO SHIPPING NEEDS

ABOUT THE NORTHWEST SEAPORT ALLIANCE

The Northwest Seaport Alli-ance brings together two of the premier harbor facilities in North America (Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, Wash-ington State, USA) to form a single, integrated gate-way for marine cargo. The Alliance, effective August 2015, unifies management of marine cargo facilities, thereby strengthening the gateway and attracting more marine cargo and jobs for the Puget Sound region. The alliance is a port devel-opment authority governed by the two ports as equal members, with each port acting through its elected commissioners.

If you ship it, we can handle it. Breakbulk or proj-ect; high-wide-and-heavy, ro-ro/lo-lo, or non-wheeled. And we have a proven record of success moving all types of cargo with precision and speed.

Northwest Seaport Alli-ance terminal facilities, carriers and ports of call provide unlimited options and flexibility to suit your unique supply chain needs. And our commitment to working hand-in-hand with breakbulk customers to provide cost-effective, inno-vative shipping solutions is unparalleled in the industry. At the end of the day, it’s all about helping you, the ship-per, get the job done.

MAKE OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES YOURS:

Better connections: We are the closest U.S. port to China and Northeast Asia. Seven of the world’s lead-ing breakbulk and auto/ro-ro carriers offer regular service between Northwest Seaport Alliance harbors and major ports of call in Asia, Europe and Oceania - and via trans-shipment to anywhere in the world. Other carriers call on inducement.

Breakbulk handling expertise: Our labor is highly-skilled and expe-rienced, with specialized training for damage-free and secure handling of all types of breakbulk and ro-ro cargo;

Superior intermodal service: Convenient on-dock rail is available at EB-1, our primary breakbulk termi-nal, with near-dock access at Terminal 7.

Convenient location: Our terminals are located within minutes of interstate high-ways for over-the-road shipments. A heavy-haul corridor in the Tacoma harbor helps expedite movement of overweight freight within the Port Industrial Area.

As a pioneer unit of Bahri, The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia with more than 35 years history, Bahri General Cargo is one of the very few marine transportation companies offering a full liner service between North America and the Middle East. The com-pany operates six modern multipurpose vessels – four connecting the United States, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and major ports in the Gulf, Indian Sub-Continent and Mediterranean and two vessels connecting Europe to the King-dom of Saudi Arabia and key ports in the Gulf and Mediterranean.

Bahri General Cargo views itself as a niche carrier focusing on optimal cargo mix while specializing in underdeck stor-age capability. The General Cargo sector also manages a container service yard facility at Jeddah Islamic port in Saudi Arabia to handle its containers, and has invested in a new IT system to integrate ports, agents and offices to provide superior customer services. A vast network of offices and agents located around the globe facilitates the variety of services Bahri General Cargo provides its clients.

The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri), was formed by a Royal Decree in the year 1978 as a public company with 22.5% ownership held by the Public Investment Fund “PIF” of the Saudi Government, 20% by Saudi Aramco Development Company, and the remainder widely held in public shares by Saudi nationals. Bahri has grown from a small shipping firm operating multi-purpose vessels into one of the biggest shipping conglomerates in the world and occupies a pre-eminent position among its industry peers at national, regional and international levels in all sectors of its business operations.

Marching past its 35-year mark, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s first national carrier has generated a strong VIP cus-tomer base. During the course of its diversification, the company’s services have been expanded to include trans-

portation of general cargo, crude oil, chemical, liquefied petroleum gas and dry bulk. Having initially begun its opera-tions strictly for transporting general cargo and containers, Bahri, with its extensive track record, has garnered a reputation for providing a superior level of service to customers in all sectors.

Bahri owns and operates 32 VLCCs, including one VLCC designated as float-ing storage unit, 4 MRs and 1 Aframax, all compliant with international stan-dards. A contract with Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) has been signed to build 10 VLCCs which will be delivered between 2017 and 2018. In addition, two Korean 2010-built VLCCs were recently acquired and will be in operation by spring 2016.

In its desire to expand further, Bahri established a new business unit, Bahri Gas & Marine Services, which is responsible for exploring investment opportunities in the offshore industry. This business unit also manages and develops the company’s LPG invest-ment through its 30.3% share in partner Petredec, the largest independent LPG trading and shipping company in the world. Bahri also owns a fleet of 26 chemical carriers through Bahri

Chemicals, a subsidiary established in partnership with SABIC, which has become one of the largest chemical transporters in the world and 5 dry-bulk carriers operated by Bahri Dry Bulk (BDB), a subsidiary of Bahri, established in partnership with ARASCO. The com-pany also owns a ship management unit “Mideast” which is responsible for man-aging the Bahri fleet.

The North Sea is an ideal location for the generation of wind energy. The wind is favourable and thanks to the shallow water depth it is relatively easy to build large wind farms here. Not surprisingly, quite a few offshore wind projects are planned; projects that require a lot of materials that need to be shipped in by sea. The port of Vlissingen, as part of Zeeland Seaports, is an ideal home base for delivery. And not just for wind-energy projects, but also for oil and gas produc-tion activities.

Our location is one of our strong points. The ports are close to the North Sea and are favourably located in relation to the Netherlands, Belgium, the north of France, the United Kingdom and even Germany and Denmark. In the waters offshore of these countries, major wind farms will be developed over the coming years. In addition, our ports are easily accessible. Large installation vessels can navigate freely, unencumbered by locks or bridges. This is important because what is true anywhere, is true for this branch especially: time is money. For the transport of heavy loads, special ships are needed, which can only carry limited amounts of cargo each time. Therefore, speedy handling is of the utmost impor-tance.

Space is another advantage of the Vlissingen location. Many wind generator

parts are manufactured in the hinterland, for example in Limburg. These companies often look to us specifically for the tempo-rary storage of items including monopiles and transition pieces. Companies such as BOW Terminals and Verbrugge Termi-nals are offering the space and facilities needed for efficient trans-shipment to the wind farm projects. This is not all that these ports have to offer. Hoondert and VDS, for example, are specialised in large steel construction work; Heerema builds jackets and transformer topsides, Mammoet is a heavy lift and transport specialist, and Multraship provide towage and lifting services. These companies are only a small example of what is on offer, there are many other companies providing vital services. In short, we have every-thing needed to facilitate the building of offshore energy projects. More than 20 projects have already proven that Vliss-ingen is a successful home base for the offshore wind industry.

It is an image that Zeeland Seaports wants to maintain and reinforce. It is a branch with a future. Today, the wind farms are being built. This will involve many shipping movements and extra jobs – specifically in in construction and assembly work in the future. These wind farms will all need O&M bases. Again, this will involve more jobs in construction and logistics.

HYUNDAI FORKLIFT’S 250D-9 DIESEL LIFT TRUCK DELIVERS MUSCLE AND PERFORMANCE

FOR HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS

A leader in the lift truck market, Hyundai Forklift manufactures a full line of material handling solutions. Backed by Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s leading shipbuilder and a global corpo-ration, the company has expanded its lift truck product line in North America in recent years. All Hyundai forklift models are backed by a standard three-year/4,000-hour total truck warranty.

With its North American headquarters and parts depot located in Norcross, Ga., Hyundai Forklift is a full-line supplier of forklifts, including diesel, electric- and LP-powered models, from 2,200 to 55,000 lb (997 to 24,947 kg) capacity. The company is committed to offering innovative equip-ment solutions, great parts availability, quick delivery and timely technical support to its dealers and their customers. Hyundai Forklift has a dealer network of more than 150 dealer and branch locations through-out the United States and Canada.

9-SERIES DIESEL FORKLIFT TRUCKS

Hyundai Forklift’s high-performance, fuel-efficient 9-Series diesel forklift trucks, with models ranging from 3,000 to 55,000 lb. capacities, are designed to move large, heavy loads of materials such as containers, timber, lumber, and concrete and steel products.

The Hyundai 9-Series diesel line offers durability through a heavy-duty single-unit frame, superior cooling sys-tem, full automatic transmission and a spilt-type drive axle, with hydraulic wet disc brakes standard on all models.

HYUNDAI 250D-9 DIESEL TRUCKEngineered for heavy-duty applica-

tions and delivering outstanding lifting capacity and superior performance, The Hyundai 250D-9 diesel lift truck is ideally suited for ports and terminals. This durable and dependable machine meets the rigor-ous demands of Hyundai’s customers.

POWER AND PERFORMANCEThe powerful Cummins QSL engine

on the Hyundai 250D-9 provides dynamic acceleration, excellent grade-ability and optimal travel speed on tough terrains and slopes. Built for power, reli-ability and economy, the turbo-charged engine meets EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage IV emission regulations.

According to operating load, the operator can select from two engine modes by changing the side panel switch. The operator can choose from STD Mode for light-duty operating load, and POWER Mode for heavy-duty or operating on a slope or incline. While the engine is running, idle rpm can be reduced or increased by units of 25 rpm and maintains the previously set rpm when the engine restarts.

INCREASED MAST TILTING ANGLE

Using the mast tilting angle of 12 degrees forward and 10 degrees back-ward, the operator can perform loading and unloading jobs safely and rapidly.

ROOMY, ERGONOMIC CABThe spacious, ergonomic design of

the cab and controls on the Hyundai 250D-9 significantly reduces opera-tor fatigue and improves productivity. Minimal operator effort is required for precise, safe and productive control. The accelerator, brake and inching pedals are optimally positioned for the operator’s convenience. The adjustable steering column and steering handle provides infinite settings to meet the comfort level of any operator.

The forklift is equipped with a load weight indicator, displaying the load weight in the LCD color monitor. The load sensor reduces the time to check loaded weight and the alarm alerts the operator when overloaded.

With the operator presence sensing

system (OPSS) engaged, all mast and drive movements of the lift truck are inoperable when the operator leaves the seat.

ENHANCED VISIBILITYA rear view camera on the Hyundai

250D-9 provides great rear visibility. The monitor supports four camera channels for greater operator convenience. Front and rear work lamps provide the opera-tor with improved visibility and a safer operating environment.

FAST, EASY MAINTENANCEA large engine hood provides easy

access to the engine compartment for fast and efficient maintenance. The electric cab tilt system, a standard feature on the Hyundai 250D-9, makes servicing of all power train components quick and easy. An electrically assisted hydraulic actuated cylinder tilts the operator cab to the left side for easy access to the truck components. The air filter is readily accessible for clean-ing or replacement.

Hyundai’s proprietary Hi-mate remote management system provides operators and dealer service personnel with access to vital service and diagnos-tic information on the machine from any computer with internet access.

The wet disc brake system on the Hyundai 250D-9 diesel lift truck is virtually maintenance free and is fully enclosed to protect from dust and water.

NORDANA ADVANCING TO MEET CHANGING DEMANDS

Nordana A/S - part of Weco Group - is a privately owned international ship-ping company with headquarters in the North of Copenhagen, Denmark. With more than 130 years’ experience, we operate owned and chartered vessels in both liner services and worldwide proj-ect cargo transports.

Nordana Liner division operates regular multipurpose/RoRo services encompassing 4 main trade lines between the Americas and the Mediterranean.

Nordana Project division operates its own modern fleet of specialized project ships worldwide, as well as managing chartered tonnage for full flexibility in lifting any cargo challenge.

The name Nordana is taken from its NORwegian and DANish background. The service started in 1957 as a joint venture between Norwegian Fearnley & Eger and Danish DFDS. F & E decided to withdraw and the service continued under Danish management, but the name and the values remain as strong as ever. We are very proud of our heri-tage and fly the swallow-tailed Danish flag – the Dannebrog – with great pride.

The US Gulf Coast is one of Nordana’s important trading areas and a direct liner service from USA to the Mediterranean was implemented in 1961. Since then Nordana has constantly developed and improved our services, in order to bring our customers business’ ahead and thus this gateway to Europe is still going strong. To further strengthen our position, we are in the process of moving to new modern premises in Houston. Refurbishment of the new offices has commenced and we expect the move-in to take place during April 2015.

Nordana recognises that continu-ous advancement is essential in order to meet changing demands and needs both from our customers and from the shipping industry in general. We acknowledge the importance of invest-ing in our fleet and are thus upgrading present fleet and engaging in an exten-sive newbuilding program.

The Liner Division’s fleet renewal

commenced in June 2014, when the Green Star 3 Design Italian built MV Wedellsborg initiated her inaugural voy-age in the Mediterranean - Americas service. The MV Williamsborg entered the same service in July 2014 and will be joined by the MV Wilhelmsborg in Q2 2015. This upgrade enables us to offer larger and faster vessels that run at even more precise schedules while at the same time optimizing fuel consumption and keeping emissions to a minimum.

Nordana Project Division, an inde-pendent division within Nordana, has likewise improved their fleet by charter-ing in several 12000 ton tweendeckers on long term basis. In addition 14 newbuildings will be delivered over the next 2 years as from the beginning of 2015, including 8 Great Dane Mark II vessels with a lifting capacity up to 500

tonnes. 21st February 2015 the Nordana Sky, the first of a series of 6 Symphony Class newbuildings, was launched and christened at a ceremony in Leer. The spectacular side launch can be viewed at Nordana’s LinkedIn profile.

With a vast amount of expertise in our local offices in Denmark, the USA, Thailand and Singapore combined with the ongoing renewal of our fleet to fully equipped, environmentally friendly, state of the art vessels, we are confident that Nordana is able to efficiently transport all types of cargo– both present day and in many years to come.

Bring us a challenge so we may rise to the occasion.
