JSW plans US$610m investment to expand port and cement capacity

06 November 2015

India: JSW plans to invest US$610m to boost its port and cement capacity in the next two years. It plans to almost double its ability to handle cargo at its ports to 62Mt/yr, with a target to further increase it to 200Mt/yr by 2025, according to group CFO Seshagiri Rao. Cement capacity is estimated to increase to 17Mt/yr in the next 24 months from 6Mt/yr at present.

"Ports appear to be a very attractive investment as ports and inland waters have not at all been leveraged in India," said Rao to Bloomberg. "We feel that in each of the core infrastructure sectors there is a huge amount of change happening." Rao said that the group will build its own cement plants instead of acquiring an existing business.

Kochi set to emerge as cement hub with new terminals

28 October 2015

India: With one more cement terminal set to commence operations in November 2015 on the port premises and two more in the pipeline, Kochi, Kerala is set to emerge as a major cement hub in south India.

Cochin Port Trust sources said that the number of cement terminals at the port would go up to three with the Zuari Cement terminal set to commence operations in November 2015. This is in addition to the UltraTech and Ambuja cement terminals in operation already. Penna Cement has begun construction works and decks have been cleared for Malabar Cements to begin work on its proposed terminal. All of the terminals, excluding one, would be capable of raising their throughput to 1Mt over the years, according to Port Trust.

These terminals will not only increase income for the financially-troubled Cochin Port Trust, but also generate substantial employment involving evacuation of the cargo out of Kochi to various parts of Kerala. For every 10,000t of cement imported, the Port Trust will earn up to US$230,714/yr in both vessel and cargo related charges.

Figures show that cement throughput at the Kochi port has grown substantially between 2010 - 2011 and 2014 - 2015. Cement throughput was 2.59Mt during 2010 - 2011. It has gone up to 7.03Mt during the 2014 - 2015 financial year. Cement throughput almost doubled from 3.11Mt during 2012 - 2013 to 6.04Mt during 2013 - 2014.

Last equipment for Holcim New Zealand domes dispatched for Timaru

08 October 2015

New Zealand: Two cement ship unloaders, a ship unloader and two conveyor belt systems purchased by Holcim are being shipped to New Zealand from the Netherlands on a heavy lift ship called the Happy Dragon.

One of the cement ship unloaders along with a ship unloader, which have a combined weight of 240t, will arrive in Timaru in early November 2015 and will be used by Holcim at its new dome at the Timaru Port. The other unloader and conveyor belts are bound for Holcim's Auckland dome.

Holcim's Capital Projects Manager Ken Cowie said that Holcim was excited to have the cargo in transit in the North Atlantic. "This signals the arrival on site of all the major equipment for the terminal and brings us closer to commissioning the operations later this year."

The cement ship unloaders were built by Van Aalst Bulk Handling in Hazerswoude. The largest of them is 33m long, 15.5m wide and 18m high. A logistics company brought the unloaders 20km east of Rotterdam, where they were placed on a pontoon by a floating crane and floated down to be loaded onto a ship.

Sinoma considers investment in Pecem Port

04 August 2015

Brazil: Sinoma Group has announced plans to invest in the Brazilian State of Ceara after visiting the Pecem Port industrial complex on 31 July 2015. The group will not necessarily install a cement plant at the complex and could instead supply machinery and equipment to the cement sector. The group is likely to continue to evaluate the market and economic conditions of the state before determining the level of investment to be made.
