Our Humber facility Groveport is delighted to have received the largest ever cargo on a single vessel this week. The MV Johann discharged almost 4,000 tonnes of steel cargo at PD Ports in Groveport near Scunthorpe. The vessel arrived from Spain at the end of last week and completed discharging operations earlier this week. The cargo totaled 3,989.7 tonnes and is the largest single steel cargo ever handled at the terminal. Due to recent improvements in vessel design, vessels like the MV Johann built in 2023, can safely navigate inland waterways due to the shallow draft. This new vessel design is enabling customers to ship larger cargos to inland terminals like Groveport reducing freight costs and CO2 emissions.

TraPac Oakland, a major container terminal operator in California, has made a significant investment in modernizing its facilities by ordering two state-of-the-art Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes from Liebherr. This marks a historic moment as it's the first time Liebherr will be supplying STS cranes to the West Coast of the United States. The new STS cranes are designed to handle the world's largest container vessels with their impressive 66-meter outreach, 53-meter lift height, and a capacity of 66 long tonnes in twin-lift mode. Equipped with advanced technology, these cranes will enhance operational efficiency, safety, and productivity at the Oakland terminal. TraPac Oakland's investment in these new cranes aligns with its broader strategy to expand its capacity and improve its service offerings. By upgrading its infrastructure, the terminal aims to attract more shipping lines and cargo, solidifying its position as a key gateway for international trade on the West Coast.

Happy Tuesday everyone! 🚛 Let’s talk about a game-changing strategy in freight management: stacking. While it may seem like a simple concept, when done correctly with the right dunnage and expertise, it can lead to significant cost savings. Imagine maximizing every inch of your truck's capacity without compromising the safety or integrity of your cargo. That’s the power of effective stacking. It’s like playing a game of Tetris, but with real-world benefits! Using proper dunnage ensures that each item is protected and stabilized, preventing damage and optimizing space. Combine that with the knowledge and experience of the skilled professionals at Son Creek International Transport, and you’ve got a recipe for efficiency and savings.
