Shanghai Port conducts first dual-vessel, dual-fuel bunkering operation at offshore anchorage_我的网站

A |     Planes packed with summer travelers boosted Delta Air Lines to a $1.11 billion profit in the third quarter, and the carrier said Thursday that it expects revenue to keep rising into the holiday season.Profit was up 59% from a year earlier, as strong ticket sales — especially for premium seats and international flights — helped Delta shrug off higher labor costs.The Atlanta-based airline predicted ranges for fourth-quarter and full-year profit that mostly exceed Wall Street expectations.“I think we’re closing the year strong, and the holiday bookings that we see right now are pretty good,” CEO Ed Bastian said in an interview. “Domestic (travel) is solid, and international is really strong.”U.S. airlines are flying high as the travel recovery that began last year shows few signs of slowing down.Delta increased its passenger-carrying capacity an aggressive 16% and was able to fill all those extra seats. Travelers flew 64 billion miles on the airline in the quarter, a 17% increase, and they filled 88% of the seats on the average flight, a point higher than last summer.Revenue from ticket sales in the main cabin grew 12% — and 17% for premium seating. Money from Delta’s loyalty program soared 21%.The program, called SkyMiles, has become so popular that there are far more passengers hoping for upgrades to better seats than available seats. Lines can grow long at Delta lounges at busy airports like Atlanta and New York’s JFK.But when Delta announced changes to deal with the overcrowding last month — including basing elite frequent-flyer status purely on spending, and limiting lounge access for holders of Delta credit cards — the reaction from longtime customers was quick and brutal. Some vowed to switch airlines. Alaska Airlines and JetBlue fished for disgruntled Delta members by promising elite status in their programs. Even Bastian admitted the airline “ probably went too far.” Bastian has promised to modify the unpopular changes, but he hasn’t given any details yet.“We are working on that. We’ll be announcing something in the coming days,” Bastian said in the interview. He said he has received “a lot of feedback – everyone had their own ideas as to how we might restructure the program. Almost universally, people acknowledged that we needed to do something.” Delta's third-quarter profit, adjusted to exclude one-time items, was $2.03 per share, 8 cents better than forecast by analysts in a FactSet survey. Revenue rose 11% to $15.49 billion, also beating expectations.For the fourth quarter, Delta said revenue will rise as much as 11% from a year ago and it will earn between $1.05 to $1.30 per share. Analysts expected $1.09.The airline predicted that full-year profit will land between $6 and $6.25 per share after saying in June it would be at the top end of a $5-to-$6 range. The short-term outlook would be rosier if not for a recent pickup in jet fuel prices — although fuel is still much cheaper than it was a year ago. Bastian expressed confidence that Delta and other carriers can raise prices enough to cover any increase in fuel expense. Shares of Delta were virtually flat in morning trading.。

Shanghai Port has for the first time successfully completed simultaneously the bunkering of two types of green fuel for two international vessels at the offshore anchorage, marking a milestone in the port’s ability to provide diversified and large-scale marine fuel supplies, chinanews.com reported on Sunday. 
Haigang Zhiyuan, a methanol bunkering vessel, successfully completed the bunkering of domestic-produced biomethanol to methanol-powered containership CMA CGM Osmium, which flies the Maltese flag, while Haigang Weilai, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering vessel, successfully completed the bunkering of LNG to Kota Elan, a Singapore-flagged dual-fuel LNG container ship at the Lühuashan Anchorage off Shanghai from Saturday to Sunday. 
Most of the biomethanol supplied in the bunkering operation was produced by Shanghai Electric’s Taonan project. Which means the methanol feedstock was transported by land from Taonan, in Northeast China’s Jilin Province, to Dalian Port in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province, then shipped by sea to storage tanks in Shanghai, before being used for vessel bunkering at Shanghai Port. This established a cross-regional supply chain linking production in Jilin, transshipment in Dalian and bunkering in Shanghai, said the report. 
The cross-provincial supply chain from Northeast China to Shanghai expands the market for domestic biomethanol and highlights progress in building a north-to-south green fuel transportation corridor, according to the report.

According to the Yangshan Border Inspection Station, the two vessels receiving the bunkering service have different sailing schedules. the CMA CGM Osmium is en route from Qingdao in Shandong Province to Ningbo in Zhejiang Province via Shanghai, while the newly built Kota Elan will conduct sea trials after bunkering. 
Completing clean-fuel bunkering at an anchorage cuts berth, tugboat and pilotage costs, and reduces vessel waiting times, which lowers the energy replenishment costs for international vessels and strengthens Shanghai Port’s overall competitiveness as a shipping hub, chinanews.com reported.
