Port of Amsterdam- Words and Actions
Ports are continually changing in tandem with economic and social developments. This has and always will be the case. The Port of Amsterdam has undergone multiple transformations through the centuries - from a herring harbour into a staple market and ultimately into an energy port.
Koen Overtoom, CEO Port of Amsterdam, explains:
We are now in a new phase: one in which we are focusing on circular and biobased activities and renewable energy. It started in 2008 with words. Tha ‘s when we decided not to locate any new fossil fuel terminals in our port.

In the twelve months from January to December 2017, over 4,500 vessels in the container, bulker and tanker fleet completed 30,000 visits to OFAC sanctioned terminals (Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, Syria and the Crimea). Whilst not every vessel visit to a sanctioned port suggests illegal activity, it can be an obvious red flag for the banks and financial institutions required to monitor vessels and their movements, when financing global trade deals.Posted On:14-May-2018

Safety training is a must for all who go to sea
On December 20, 2004 the 75-foot New Bedford scalloper Northern Edge went down in the Nantucket Lightship Closed Area. Five men perished. It was a loss that rocked the city. Pedro Furtado, the only survivor, was a 22 year-old man who had been through safety training in his native Portugal before coming to the United States. He had the presence of mind to jump into the wintry sea while the other men froze. It was this disaster that prompted the city to introduce safety training for those who earn their livelihood from commercial fishing, the most dangerous occupation in the United States.Posted On:14-May-2018

Hyundai renews export pact with Chennai port
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has renewed its agreement with Chennai Port Trust (ChPT) for the next 10 years on similar lines as the previous agreement signed in 2006. Under the new agreement, HMIL will export a minimum of 50,000 cars (same as last time) annually through the port. ChPT will provide 20 days of free storage of cars at the port, priority berthing of vessels and exemption from double berthing charges.
(Double berthing charges usually come into play if the ship is moved to the outer anchorage due to non-availability of cargo, and returns once it is ready. This involves two moves, and hence, two charges.)Posted On:14-May-2018
