MS Finneagle Refloated after Grounding

MS Finneagle, belonging to Finnish ro-ro operator Finnlines, that ran aground in the port of Kapellskar (Sweden) this morning is afloat and has been berthed safely.

According to the operator, the grounding occurred due to the technical fault of the main engines. At the time of the accident, the ship had a total of 168 passengers and 30 crew members onboard. Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident.

Right now, divers are inspecting the hull of the vessel in order to determine scope of the damage.

TOC Americas

11/10/2016 - 13/10/2016

TOC (The Terminal Operations Conference) has long been considered best in class by container terminal operators and their suppliers. Over time, TOC has evolved and whilst they continue to deliver the highest quality technical content in line with their heritage, they also recognise that they must now hear from stakeholders higher up the cargo chain. Therefore, there are now two distinct elements to the event:

The exhibition is a showcase for port & terminal technology and operations plus TECH TOC, the free to attend technical conference aimed at terminal operators and their suppliers. Many suppliers come together to showcase cutting edge solutions to their clients, the terminal operators and ports.

More recently, the events now placed a new focus on the container supply chain making them the premier business and networking event for the stakeholders, including shippers, carriers and 3pl’s as well as the global operators and port authorities. This conversation takes place in the more recently created Container Supply Chain Conference.
