SHIPPING + MARITIME-<\/p>\n

#1- The Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) added Blue Ocean\u2019s BOS shipping service to<\/strong> Jeddah <\/strong>Islamic Port<\/strong>, linking it to three major Chinese ports, according to a statement<\/a>. The new route \u2014 with a capacity of 2.3k TEUs \u2014 will connect Jeddah with Qingdao, Ningbo, and Nansha in China.<\/p>\n

#2- <\/strong>Maltrans<\/strong> launches Cstar Line service:<\/strong> Jordan\u2019s Maltrans Group for Shipping Agencies and Customs has launched a Cstar Line-operated shipping service linking MENA ports, including the Port of Aqaba, to ports in the Far East, Petra<\/a> reported on Saturday. <\/p>\n

The service will accommodate growing regional demand<\/strong>, launching its first phase with two monthly trips \u2014 using four ships with a capacity of 1.6-2k TEUs. It will pass through China\u2019s Ningbo, Shanghai, and Guangzhou ports, and through Jeddah, Aqaba, and Ain Sokhna ports in the Red Sea. <\/p>\n

\n

EQUIPMENT-<\/p>\n

Iraq<\/strong> to integrate new port equipment:<\/strong> Iraqi Ports received 14 new smart 5G cranes from China\u2019s Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries \u2014 in line with the port operator\u2019s intention to integrate smart equipment within its communication systems to enhance operations, infrastructure, and port automation, according to a statement<\/a> released on Saturday. The new equipment includes four gantry cranes and 10 rubber-tired gantry cranes. <\/p>\n

\n

PORTS-<\/p>\n

AD Ports Group has opened its first international office in China<\/strong>, as it looks to deepen trade and investment ties with the world\u2019s second-largest economy, according to a press release<\/a> released on Thursday. The new Beijing office will coordinate commercial activity across China and the broader Asia region, while its subsidiary Noatum Logistics<\/a> will operate a new commercial branch for the Beijing-Tianjin market, the group said.<\/p>\n

Not their first rodeo in China: <\/strong>The new office builds on existing ties between AD Ports and China. China\u2019s Cosco Shipping already operates a container terminal at<\/a>Khalifa<\/a>Port<\/a> via a JV with AD Ports. AD Ports also co-manages an economic zone in Abh Dhabi alongside Jiangsu Overseas Cooperation Investment Company. More recently, it signed an agreement<\/a> with China\u2019s Ningbo Zhoushan Port to develop an automotive logistics network between China and MENA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
