Volvo CE to sell cylinder production activity

Germany’s last remaining hard coal mine is set to close next week, as state subsidies come to an end.

Germany has postponed until February decisions on how fast to phase-out brown-coal-fired power plants and whether to compensate utilities as well as regions facing job losses, Reuters has reported.

Weserport, the joint venture of Rhenus Group and ArcelorMittal Bremen GmbH, has taken delivery of a new mobile harbour crane for handling general and project cargo at Terminal 1 in the Industriehafen.

With a new sales office in the Ruhr area of Germany, Beumer Group is aiming to support more retrofitting and modernisation projects.

In 2017, the Port of Kiel handled more than 7 Mt for the first time, with bulk handling leading the way.

The Port of Hamburg has reported that it handled 34.1 Mt of bulk cargo in the first nine months of 2017, representing a marginal 1% decline on the previous year’s figure.
