📢 Significant Milestone Achieved: First Phase of Dredging Works at Southern Canal Dock Completed Read more: https://shorturl.at/DfvB9 Antwerp - In early April, Port of Antwerp-Bruges marked a crucial step in the expansion of the Southern Canal Dock. Belgian dredging company DEME successfully moved nearly 1 million m³ of dredged material, providing International Car Operators with an additional 600 meters of quayside for RoRo ships. This project exemplifies smart port expansion, optimizing existing space and infrastructure while reducing CO2 emissions. The development will significantly enhance the terminal's capacity and operational efficiency. Dirk De fauw , Vice Chairman of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, emphasizes the strategic importance of this development for both local and international trade. Rob Smeets , COO, and Alain Guillemyn , ICO, highlight the project's contributions to sustainability and efficiency. #PortExpansion #SustainableShipping #LogisticsInnovation #RoRoShipping #GreenInitiatives #PortDevelopment #MaritimeLogistics #SupplyChainEfficiency #PortofAntwerp #DSTnews #ConnectwithDST #DSTsince1960

Great news from Valletta Cruise Port, Malta! 🙌 Grand Harbour's shore-to-ship project launched! 🔌⚡ The Grand Harbour’s power supply project which powers the shore-to-ship project has been completed. During a press conference in the Valletta Cruise Port, it was stated that the project will lead to a 90% reduction of pollution in the court, as five cruise liners can make use of the project simultaneously. 💡 By 2028, more than 210 ships will have shoreside power capability in the #CLIA fleet, in addition, further ships will be retrofitted with the capability, representing a total of 72% of ships and 74% of global passenger capacity. As part of the EU’s Fit for 55 programme, all main ports in the European Union will have to use shoreside electricity by 2030. 📰Read more below ⤵️

Dry canal projects across Central America are popping up everywhere and can be built quickly, but their capacity to compete with an all-water route like the Panama Canal cannot be compared. Here are some examples of the many projects from Mexico to Colombia which promise handling cargo faster and cheaper than the already built (and largely paid off) canal.

The Panama Canal is such a marvel of maritime engineering, connecting two important international maritime trade routes: the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. It is estimated that shipping companies pay as much as $40,000 to $450,000 depending on some factors like vessel size and capacity to use the canal. Watch this very informative video about the Panama Canal.
