Yilport into Puerto Bolivar…

Russia’s Commercial Seaport of Vladivostok (VMTP, part of FESCO Transportation Group – now state-owned through Rostam) is increasing its fleet of cargo handling equipment and upgrading its infrastructure.

Turkey-based Yilport Holding has bought Africa Finance Corporation’s (AFC’s) 35% equity stake in Atlantic Terminal Services Limited (ATSL), the concessionaire responsible for expanding the port of Takoradi in Ghana

Xpress Feeders has started making regular calls at San Cataldo Container Terminal, but Yilport is trying to diversify the traffic base to ensure viability

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding (Mitsui E&S) has received a substantial order for container handling equipment from the Port of Haiphong Joint Stock Company in Vietnam.

Siemens Crane Competence Center for the Europe Middle East and Africa region based in Portugal has now carried out modernisation and digitisation work on 100 port cranes in 13 countries. Currently the company is working on projects in the ports of Leixões and Setúbal, Portugal, Taranto (Italy) and Salalah (Oman).

The production of yard cranes in 2023 was in line with previous years, but the orderbook was much stronger than usual. As expected, ZPMC’s share of the RTG market continued to decline.
