Investing in new equipment

Posted on 9th January 2023 at 19:17

Investing in new equipment

As part of our growth and development strategy, we are constantly investing in new equipment to both refresh and grow our fleet. We recently added 3 new vehicles to our fleet, increasing capacity for our customers as well as adding more modern, fuel-efficient vehicles to the fleet.

The new vehicles arrived with driver comforts such as Sat-Nav, fridges, microwaves and tv connections, to ensure our drivers have all the necessary comforts whilst they work hard to deliver for our customers.

With more equipment due to arrive throughout 2023, we will continue to invest in order to provide the best working environment for our staff, as well as improving and developing our service offerings to our great customers.

To find out more about how we can help with all your haulage and logistics requirements, please contact a member of our team who will be more than happy to help.

Carrier hopes for a demand surge rest on summer peak season

Container spot rates from Asia to North Europe, as recorded by Drewry’s WCI index, increased by 10% this week from their pre-Christmas level, to $1,874 per teu.

However, export demand to North Europe has been much weaker than usual ahead of the Chinese New Year on 22 January, and rates are expected to come under pressure again after the holiday as carriers scramble to fill their ships.

ABP first to trial hydrogen terminal tractor in UK

Associated British Ports (ABP) is the first UK port operator to trial a hydrogen fuelled tractor in its container terminal at the Port of Immingham.

This joint pilot project received funding from ORE Catapult through Innovate UK’s Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII), following funding of initial feasibility from the Department for Transport’s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition. The Terberg hydrogen terminal tractor has been tested at the UK’s largest port by volume of tonnage, alongside a mobile hydrogen filling station provided by Air Products.

Carriers are facing the 'quiet before the storm' for contract rates

Carriers are facing the 'quiet before the storm' for contract rates

A year ago, shippers were desperate to agree annual contract deals with ocean carriers to secure their supply chains, and were prepared to do, and pay, ‘whatever it took’.

And carriers were holding ‘beauty contests’ to determine the most attractive large-volume BCOs to be included in their exclusive customer portfolios.

But 12 months on, the container liner shipping market has seen an 180-degree turn – world economies are being racked by huge hikes in energy costs, high inflation and spiralling interest rates, causing a pause in discretionary spending by consumers and a sharp downturn in demand.
