style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>APM Terminals has delivered the phase 2 expansion at APM Terminals Tangier MedPort <\/strong><strong>in Morocco<\/strong>, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apmterminals.com\/en\/news\/news-releases\/2023\/231213-one-million-teu-expansion-at-apm-terminals-tangier-med-port-operational\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. The expansion covers some 18 hectares with seven additional container stacks and a 400 meter berth, the statement notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Here\u2019s what we know: <\/strong>Phase 2 offers 14 electric automated rail mounted gantry cranes and 11 semi-automated hybrid shuttle carriers from Kalmar. Electric equipment, shore power, and auto-mooring also contribute to APM\u2019s net-zero efforts, the statement notes. The expansion also involves the addition of four new remote-controlled ship-to-shore (STS) cranes with a 82 meter outreach, which can handle cargo vessels up to 24k TEU, the release states. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Saving on idle time: <\/strong>The terminal also installed an auto-mooring system whereby automated vacuum pads along the quay improve safety, efficiency, and reduce time taken by vessels to moor and release by some 15 minutes, saving a total of one hour of idle time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong> Phase 3 \u2014 slated for completion by 2025 \u2014 will further increase total capacity by 1 mn TEU, according to the release. The third phase will cover an additional 17.5 hectares and add another 400 meters of berth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>APM Terminals also aims to reduce emissions via shore power:<\/strong> APM is working with the port authority to also carry out infrastructure upgrades to provide shore power in tandem with the expansion to enable ships to turn away from diesel-fuelled on-board engines, the release states. Shore power would allow the ships to connect to landside electricity for their lights, pumps, communications, and refrigeration, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/apm-terminals\/\">APM Terminals<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/morocco\/\">Morocco<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/ports\/\">PORTS<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/shipping-maritime\/\">SHIPPING + MARITIME<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"75633\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"75633\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Aviation<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2023\/12\/19\/french-cargo-blimp-firm-flying-whales-is-eyeing-a-uae-production-facility\/\">\r\n                            French cargo blimp firm Flying Whales is eyeing a UAE production facility                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2023\/12\/19\/french-cargo-blimp-firm-flying-whales-is-eyeing-a-uae-production-facility\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The facility would produce airships for distribution globally, with production pegged for 2027. No investment ticket has been disclosed. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But there\u2019s a catch: <\/strong>\u201cIf we establish a facility here in the Emirates, it means there will be an agreement between Emirates, France, Canada and Australia and we will never have another factory in any other neighboring Gulf countries or India. The production and operations are exclusively from the Emirates,\u201d Bougon said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Cargo blimp? <\/strong>The cargo blimps are certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). Each blimp has the ability to transport heavy loads including mobile hospitals, wind blades, and high voltage towers to remote locations and are set to become the first-ever aircraft capable of loading and unloading heavy or bulky cargo during hovering and without need for a landing pad. The 200 meter long airships can haul up to 60 tons of cargo, according to the company\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flying-whales.com\/en\/the-lca60t\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>. The blimps themselves are not for sale, but will be operated by Flying Whales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s the selling point?<\/strong> The blimps are less costly than helicopters and planes, creating no direct impact on the ground when loading and unloading, and only slightly more expensive than trucks. They also have zero emissions as they are entirely electric.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Looking ahead: <\/strong>Aside from Abu Dhabi, the company is lining up three more hubs in Canada, France, and Australia.

UAE shoppers prefer the US at 45%, with China and the United Kingdom both tied at second place with 28% of UAE cross-border purchases each.

Lower prices are also a moving factor for Moroccan shoppers at 56%. Faster delivery is the least important determinant in both countries, coming in at 25% for the UAE and 15% for Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}
