Brand new Container Acquisition Secure, Reliable, and Cost-Effective

This proposal outlines the significant benefits of purchasing new containers directly from a reputable Chinese manufacturer, compared to acquiring used containers within the Iranian market.  We address the specific challenges associated with used containers in Iran and highlight a superior solution for your container needs. Challenges of Used Containers in Iran: Temporary Import Permits: Used containers entering Iran have a six-month permit for exit, extendable to a one years by shipping lines.  This limited timeframe creates uncertainty and potential logistical complications. Consequences of Expired Temporary Import Permits for Containers in Iranian port, containers exceeding their temporary import permit validity face significant penalties.  This has severe implications for export operations and can lead to significant delays and disruptions in the supply chain. Systematic Permit Checks: During the export process, customs authorities systematically check the validity of temporary import permits for each container. If a container’s permit has expired, customs will prevent its export.  This means the container will not be included in the scheduled loading process for the booked vessel. This delay can cause significant problems, especially if the container is part of a larger shipment covered by a…

Novel New Ro/Ro Wind Component Carrier Launched at Zhenjiang Shipyard

The offshore wind service vessel company Deugro is building two unique and specialized cargo vessels for turbine components, which keep getting bigger and bigger every year. Deugro Danmark secured a firm charter agreement with turbine builder Siemens Gamesa for its "Rotra" concept of wind component transport. Working with Siemens Gamesa, specialty vessel designer DEKC Maritime and shipbuilder Concordia Damen, Deugro came up with a more cost-effective and efficient vessel design to carry out the task.  The Rotra Futura and sister ship Rotra Horizon are designed for ro/ro loading with a rear ramp, and can stow turbine blades three tiers high. They also have cranes for greater flexibility in loading methods and a house-forward accommodations arrangement to maximize cargo deck space. The previous generation of Rotra vessels are house-aft, with a bow ramp, and they underwent significant modifications in 2022: they were widened with sponsons and had their ro/ro ramps modified, all to handle the growing size of modern turbines.  A modern Wartsila main engine will power them ahead with 15 percent better efficiency than a comparable older vessel, augmented with a waste heat recovery system.  "Innovation is central to our ship designs, allowing…
