Marine Insight’s Post

Another day spent underwing of an aircraft, introducing our fuelling equipment to new customers. This picture just cannot convey, as fuelling equipment manufacturers how lucky we sometimes can be, to see parts of the aircraft refuelling process others might not get to experience! #claval #clavalfueling #refuellinginnovations #groundfueling #aviationindustry

R J & I Monkhouse Ltd has added its 35th Renault Trucks vehicle to the fleet — a 13-litre T520 6x2 Tag, marking another milestone in their long-standing partnership with Renault Trucks and Border Trucks. Stuart Monkhouse, Managing Director, says: "Renault Trucks are reliable and have a good engine. We experience very little trouble with them, and on the rare occasions we do, Border Trucks resolves the issues promptly. This is why I haven’t bought anything but Renault Trucks for years.” The T520 6x2 Tag is ideal for RJ &I Monkhouse’s general haulage, pulling flat trailers and transporting peat, timber, cement, and steel. With the rear lift tag axle, it’s built for handling heavy loads and challenging terrains in northern Scotland. As Stuart puts it, “It handles the job comfortably, providing the traction needed…; it just keeps going.” Congratulations to everyone involved in the deal.

Why are the terms "port" and "starboard" used instead of left and right on ships? Historically, ships were steered using a steering oar positioned on the right side of the vessel, as most sailors were right-handed. This side became known as "starboard," derived from Old English words "stéor" (steer) and "bord" (side of the boat). The left side was initially called "larboard," but because it sounded too similar to "starboard," it was eventually replaced with "port." The term "port" refers to the side of the ship facing the dock when loading cargo. These fixed terms help avoid confusion that could arise from using "left" and "right," which can change based on a person's orientation on the ship.

- The car carrier sector is advancing to larger, more efficient vessels to meet growing demand and improve environmental performance. Wallenius Wilhelmsen plans to build the world’s largest pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) by upsizing four of 12 vessels ordered from Jinling Shipyard. These ships, set for delivery starting in 2026, will carry 11,700 vehicles, surpassing the previous maximum of 9,300 units. Competitors like Höegh Autoliners and CSSC are also launching larger vessels, with capacities reaching up to 10,800 units. Wallenius Wilhelmsen aims to reduce costs and emissions with new features, including alternative fuel readiness, shore power, and energy-efficient hulls, aligning with the company’s net-zero goals. Vehicle transport is one of shipping’s fastest-growing sectors. Gulshan Singh, PhD #SCLT4380

The Port of Langnas' international ferry terminal is a perfect example of how an #AutoMoor system can safely moor a vessel that is longer than the berth due to its concentration of mooring units along the flat hull of the vessel. No need for mooring lines at the bow. No further need for mooring dolphins. #Trelleborg #PortOperations #SmartPort #MaritimeTechnology #FinnLines #Efficiency #Innovation #Safetyfirst

Automated mooring solutions like Trelleborg's AutoMoor are crucial in port operations. They enhance safety by eliminating the need for traditional mooring lines, reduce mooring and unmooring times, and increase port throughput. AutoMoor's advanced vacuum seal and damping technologies ensure vessels are secured and released quickly and safely, optimizing port efficiency and accommodating larger vessels and increased traffic. For more information on how AutoMoor can optimize your port to accommodate larger vessels and increased traffic, contact your local Trelleborg team today! #PortInfrastructure #DockingandMooring #AutoMoor #TrelleborgMarineandInfrastructure

Spanning over 15 years it has been a pleasure working with Porthaul on all their transport solutions.
