为何在最发达的美国推行港口自动化多年遇阻?
2016-4-20
许多货柜港营运商认为自动化是提升美国港口能力,应付不断增加的货运量和为超级大型货柜船装卸货柜的关键。 据华尔街日报报导,TraPac在洛杉矶的货柜码头,大量应用机器人装卸和搬运货柜,减少人力的参与和失误,处理因为新自由贸易协议而涌入美国的大量货柜,预示未来自动化景象。但推动自动化背后是阻力重重。 许多运输业者相信港口运作自动化,是提升美国港口应付急增的贸易货运量,和处理愈来愈多超级大型货柜船装卸货柜的关键。他们认为自动化能提高货柜码头生产力和可靠性,同时不断降低劳动成本。 专家估自动化技术能大量减少货船在码头装卸货物的时间,让生产力提高30%。 美国之最比不上鹿特丹 仅次于洛杉矶港的美国第2大港口长滩港货柜码头,3月开始逐步采用自动化设备,让自动化的支持者多了一个展示区。 东方海外(国际)有限公司在长滩港花了逾10亿美元完成自动化设备,能处理330万个2呎标准货柜,将近长滩港去年处理货柜量一半,是公司重金押注未来自动化趋势。 专家说,由于工会多年来阻扰,让美国投入货柜港自动化脚步落后。有研究报告指出,由机器人处理货柜能减少雇用50%港口工人。 增加人手等于提高营运成本,自动化设备又动辄数亿美元计经费让营运商无利可图。海事顾问公司Martin Associates创办人马丁(John Martin)说,美国可能无法像其他国家那样采用自动化技术后能立即节省成本。在美国推动港口自动化只会给投资方带来很多压力。 美国港口多年来要推行自动化是波折重重马士基集装箱码头公司(APM Terminals)曾在朴茨茅斯港花4.5亿美元建立北美首座半自动化货柜港,在2007年启用,但2008年金融危机冲击其获利,最终在2014年把 设备出售。TraPac 在洛杉矶港也因为环境法规和预算不断攀高,让自动化目标迟迟无法实现。 来源:工商时报 我国东南沿海最大干散货泊位基本建成 |

日前,我国东南沿海最大的干散货泊位——福州可门港(北纬 26度23分, 东经119度46分),1至3号泊位目前已基本建成,具备40万吨级干散货巨轮靠泊条件。
1-3号泊位相互连接,全长911米,水深 27.5米,均可靠泊40万吨级巨轮。
项目总投资25亿元,全面投入运营后年吞吐量达3000万吨以上,成为福建甚至我国东南沿海最大的干散货集散地。
据了解,神华福建罗源湾港储电一体化项目总投资200亿元,一期投资110亿元,包括1-3号大型深水泊位、年中转煤炭3000万吨国家煤炭应急储备基地以及4*1000MW超临界燃煤机组三个子项目,目前,1-3号泊位已基本建成。来源:福建新闻网
香港港集装箱吞吐量持续下跌,被青岛港超越
2016-4-21
近日,据香港港口发展局公布最新码头吞吐量数据,首季香港港口货柜吞吐量下跌 10.4%至441万TEU。而记者从有关部门获悉,今年第一季度青岛港集装箱吞吐量达到 442.84万TEU,同比增长4.8%。超过香港港。
另据香港特区政府统计处公布的2015年数据显示,香港2015年全年的港口货物吞吐量按年下跌13.8%,为25660万吨。当中,抵港及离港港口货物按年分别下跌17%及8.6%,为15280万吨和10380万吨。
我国大陆沿海规模以上港口集装箱增速也在放缓。而第一季度青岛港8000TEU以上大船靠泊227艘次,先后有8条船在港单航次装卸量超过1万TEU,最 高达到13853TEU。
另外,该港口单日最高完成了32956TEU,创三年来单日吞吐量历史纪录。在青岛港逆势增长而香港港持续下跌的情况下,2016年,青岛港或取代香港港,集装箱吞吐量排名升至全球第五。
据青岛港集团相关负责人介绍,青岛港从去年年底开始针对大船公司确定新增量项目和启动方案,“总部战略”取得成效。一季度青岛港集团国际中转箱同比增长 31%,马士基、达飞、长荣等船公司箱量均实现较大幅度增长,目前已有9家船公司与青岛港签订10条精品航线服务,有效带动箱量增长。来源:中国航务周刊

CHARTERING- Tanker (2016-04-27)
The trend in the VLCC market continued during this week with slow demand and increased number of available tonnage in MEG. Charters are just not there, much to owners frustration and hence the few cargoes around attract a lot of interest. Therefore charterers are setting the pace and rates remain under pressure. Owners are not getting any support from the Atlantic market either, as limited demand also has been seen in this region. Presently there are no signs of any imminent change to turn recent trend. Although the week started off a bit quiet, the activity picked up in West Africa and the MED/Blsea, and after a small setback on rates it now seems to have stabilized at W85vl for WAFR/Ukcm voyages. In the east the rates are still soft although activity picked up since last week with plenty of tonnage in fixing position. Looking forward, we may see eastern ballasters looking for West African cargoes because of the light Basrah program for the remainder of May.
CHARTERING- Dry bulk (2016-04-27)
A bit of a slower week. Activity level have dropped, though the rates do still remain firm. After a few weeks with steadily increasing rates and activity, it now seems the market have stabilized at present level. Some of the vessels that been idle have now started trading again due to more acceptable freight levels. This will have an impact on the market, but for now it seems to keep up well. Owners are a bit more encouraged and some are testing the market for 1 year period asking closer to the 10k mark again. A level we have not seen more a long time. Presently no takers at that level, but it shows there are a bit more optimism in the market.
PANAMAX
Northern Atlantic is still quite firm for early ships. Charterers still have to pay arnd 8 for t T/A rounds, but will it continue.? We feel the week has been fairly active with new orders in the market in both hemispheres. Nopac, Aussie and Indo rounds in the mid 5’s average, good vessel's get mid 6 but seems toppish mid week. Furthermore, ECSA grain charterers are still active, taking ships for front haul at healthy levels USD 7300 + 230-240 k level. The question is whether this grain driven trend will continue or keep or cease within 1-2 weeks. Some short periods concluded in the low/mid 5’s and good Kamsarmaxes get 5750 for 1 year now.
SUPRAMAX
There are several different Supra markets this week. The Continent is commanding premiums with vessel ballasting out of the Med towards the Continent. The East coast of South America is faltering on the near end of the curve, and the USG is driven by pet coke. The far east is still flattish despite reasonable volume. Period levels in the Atlantic are significantly higher than in the Pacific, but volume is thin. In general the forward curve is falling.
CHARTERING (2016-04-13)
GAS
We have now seen the Baltic VLGC index creep upwards for nearly a fortnight, however, the actual spot rates have barely managed to keep the same pace. The net returns to owners have not improved that much at all because the bunker prices have increased substantially concurrent to the stronger crude oil, and the daily nets are just around USD 20,000 per day. The spreads between FOB and CFR, whether from the USG or the MEG to the Far East have not improved much, and with the current FOB premiums on spot cargo sales, the trading environment is not easy and also very sensitive to any further freight increases. There have not been many discussions taking place in the period/term market lately, particularly the charterers have taken a wait and see attitude in anticipation of softer approaches from the owners.
