Al Muallem Highlights Need for Smart Ports

DP World’s UAE Region Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Mohammed Al Muallem, said that the dynamic changes in the shipping industry and the diversification of developing GCC economies underpin the growing efficiency of the region’s supply chain.

In his address to the “Seatrade Shipping and Investment Forum 2013” in Abu Dhabi, Mr. Al Muallem said that the supply chain is playing a vital role in boosting the GCC’s trade volumes coupled with infrastructure projects, growing populations and increasing consumerism.

He highlighted the need to factor rapid changes in the shipping industry, so that ports can continue to be an integral part of the supply chain.

He added: “Bigger ships and slow steaming strategies require ports with deeper drafts, longer quays, bigger cranes, larger container yards and shorter stays for vessels. And this is why we are expanding our facilities in Dubai.

“Furthermore, and in order to retain our position at Jebel Ali Port as the gateway of choice for the GCC, Middle East, India and Africa regions, we have created our smart port concept, one that offers traders mobile applications and round the clock electronic transaction facilities giving them real-time information, 365 days a year through their smartphones and from any location.”

Reflecting growth in Dubai, the UAE and the wider region, DP World, UAE Region handled a record 10 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) for the nine months to September 2013.

With its additional capacity of 1 million TEU in June this year and the new 4 million TEU capacity Terminal 3 due to open in 2014, Jebel Ali Port is well placed to cater for future growth.

The “Seatrade Shipping and Investment Forum 2013”, was attended by more than 200 senior executives ranging from international financiers and insurers, to ship owners and port operators, across the international maritime industry.

Chinese slurry pump industry

With solid strength, Excellence has trained and attracted a large number of highly-qualified technology and management personnel. We are becoming one of the leading pioneers of the development and application of slurry transfer pump by adopting modern design systems including CAD computer-aided design system, CAPP Computer aided process planning software, CFD hydraulic design software, simulation analysis system software, the finite element analysis software and 3D design software.  Aimed at providing products of high efficiency, long life and low power consumption, we have our own complete system including the product hydraulic design, structural design, computer 3D modeling, 3D simulation of fluid test calculation and computer simulation of the whole process of running tests. Therefore, Excellence has turned a new page of the development of Chinese slurry pump industry.

EV series sump pumps distinct themselves from traditional abrasive slurry pump in its great capacity, high head and high efficiency. Based on Excellence horizontal pumps, EV series can be adapted to nearly any requirement of customers.

EVR series Vertical sump pump are also designed to transport slurry in the pool but differ from EVM series in the material of wet parts. EVR series has excellence performance in handling high corrosive slurries without shape edge and lighter in weight.

ES series sand gravel pump are horizontal single-casing slurry pumps with wide passage to transfer sand or slurry with big particle size. The wet parts are made of Ni-hard and high-Chrome alloys to ensure long service life. ES gravel pump has far better performance than common pumps in dredging, sand mining, barge loading and mineral processing, etc. Featured with all the advantages of ES series, ESG series gravel pumps have achieved extra high head for special working conditions.
