PORT NEWS - from page 17
The peak-season program of flex
and late gates was set to begin Aug. 22
at The Northwest Seaport Alliance of
Seattle and Tacoma and last up to 12
weeks.
Also on the West Coast, the Oakland
International Container Terminal this
year committed to expanded night operations this summer, paid for by a flat
fee of $30 on containers whether they
move in peak or off-peak hours.
Panama Canal Draft
Raised to 44 Feet
The Panama Canal Authority has
raised the maximum allowable draft on
the canal's new locks to 44 feet - one
foot deeper than the maximum in place
since the new locks opened in June. The
increase is based on increased water
levels on the Gatun Lake reservoir that
feeds the lake and forecasts of more
rain in the watershed.
Though designed for a draft up to
50 feet, the locks were limited by dry
weather which reduced source water
levels at Gatun Lake.
In the first month of operation, the
new locks handled 69 neo-Panamax
vessels - 40 of which were container
ships.
Kia Motors Picks Savannah
Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia
will ship auto parts via rail from the
Port of Savannah to inland terminal
Cordele Intermodal Services, and from
there to Kia's manufacturing plant in
West Point, Ga., by motor carrier.
Cordele will handle up to 30,000
TEUs per year to supply the plant under the new agreement.
According to Georgia officials,
the partnership will save more than
6 million truck miles per year, reduce
congestion on Georgia highways, and
lower transportation costs.
Cordele recently was designated
an official container yard by shipping
lines Maersk, NYK, CMA-CGM, MSC and
ZIM.
TOTE and INTERSHIP
Link Up in Puerto Rico
TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico and
INTERSHIP announced a joint venture
that forms one of the largest terminal
operating companies serving Puerto
Rico.
The joint venture, Puerto Rico
Terminals, combines two of the island's
largest maritime operations and $38
million worth of existing assets at the
Puerto Nuevo terminals near San Juan.
It will move over 250,000 containers
and autos annually in and out of Puerto
Rico.
The partners say PRT customers
will see improved vessel turn times,
enhanced safety and security features
and other technology-based service
upgrades.
The adjacent properties operated
by TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico and INTERSHIP at the Puerto Nuevo terminals
east of San Juan cover 122 acres and
include eight newly renovated cranes,
eight inbound/outbound lanes and
RORO/LOLO cargo handling.
Direct
Keep it simple. Long Beach is the
fastest, most direct way to move
goods between the Far East and
most of the U.S. That's all you need
to remember: Port of Long Beach.
