Port of Long Beach annual emissions inventory reflects unprecedented pandemic congestion
October 3, 2022 — Historic supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 restrictions, and record cargo volumes combined to create unprecedented numbers of ships waiting along the coast and congestion at the San Pedro Bay port complex, driving up emissions in 2021. Despite these unprecedented factors, the Port of Long Beach continued to forge ahead in developing industry-leading zero-emissions technology in its quest to become a zero-emissions port.

Port of Newport Commission invests in facilities and equipment
September 30, 2022 — Port Commissioners reviewed projects and authorized expenditures with the common theme of planning for the future at Tuesday’s monthly Port of Newport Commission meeting. Pilings under the International Terminal’s “RORO” dock (short for roll-on, roll-off) will get a closer look thanks to a contract approved with KPFF Engineers for dock inspection.
“It’s been 10 years since we’ve looked at these pilings and they aren’t all under cathodic protection, so we want to keep a close eye on them. Under that section of dock, there are a lot of pilings packed into a small, concentrated area because it is for a very high-capacity load,” explained Aaron Bretz, Port Director of Operations.

Liebherr’s HLC 295000: Swift and capable
September 28, 2022 — With the offshore crane HLC 295000 and its modern technologies, the Orion is currently considered the most innovative vessel in the offshore wind industry. Now ship and crane have successfully completed its first missions.
In mid-August, the Orion first set down the 1,300-tonne jacket foundation on the prepared seabed with its HLC 295000 for the French offshore wind farm Fécamp. Then a 2,200-tonne transformer platform was successfully installed on the foundation. It was particularly important not to lose sight of the tight schedule and the weather conditions in Normandy, which was achieved not least thanks to the good dynamic positional (DP) system of the Orion and the high precision in the control of the HLC 295000.
