[Port vehicle electrification]WorldCargoNews|2026-06-11 (Thursday)

Contargo has opened a charging station for heavy-duty electric trucks at its Bruay-sur-l'Escaut container terminal in northern France, extending terminal-side charging across its inland network.

Why is this an opportunity for P&M: Truck-charging rollouts signal funded terminal electrification capex where Cavotec charging and plug-in systems fit.

Italy: Port of Catania awards 10-year maritime concession at Berths 8–9 (Molo Crispi) to EST Srl

[Port expansions / new terminals]EU TED|2026-06-10 (Wednesday)

The port authority has granted Europea Servizi Terminalistici (EST) a 10-year maritime concession covering roughly 35,000 m² at Berths 8 and 9, Molo Crispi, Port of Catania, for terminal operations (EU TED award notice).

Why is this an opportunity for P&M: a 10-year concession typically triggers berth-equipment investment — mooring and electrification scope at Catania.

[Port expansions / new terminals]WebSearch:moormaster-site|Week ending 2026-06-08

COSCO Shipping was granted its official operating licence at the Port of Chancay on 5 June, marking the full commencement of commercial operations at the Peruvian megaport that cuts Peru–Asia transit from 35 to 23 days.

Why is this an opportunity for P&M: Chancay sits in our Pacific MoorMaster corridor — commercial start-up advances the account-strategy footprint.

[Crane procurement / electrification]WebSearch:crane-oem|Week ending 2026-06-08

Hutchison Ports BEST signed for three ZPMC ship-to-shore cranes (55m lift height, 26-wide outreach) for its Port of Barcelona expansion, with two further cranes arriving in June.

Why is this an opportunity for P&M: new STS order at BEST Barcelona opens a Panzerbelt and cable-reel sub-supply window via the crane OEM.

Greece – Lavrio Port floating breakwaters and floating piers (contract award notice)

EU TED|2026-05-18 (Monday)

Lavrio Port Authority (south of Athens) has awarded a contract for the supply and installation of floating breakwaters, floating piers and pillars at the Port of Lavrio. Notice type: contract award (can-standard), notice 338267-2026. The buyer is already committed; this is a competitive-intelligence data point on Greek port modernisation.

Why it matters for P&M: Greek secondary port investing in floating-pier infrastructure adjacent to Cavotec mooring-systems scope; contract already awarded, so this is market-signal not opportunity.

Netherlands – EVOS terminal 5th-berth quay extension (Port of Rotterdam Authority, open tender)

[Port expansions / new terminals]EU TED|2026-05-18 (Monday)

Port of Rotterdam Authority (Havenbedrijf Rotterdam) has opened an EU tender for a 162m fifth-berth quay (jetty 5) at the EVOS chemicals terminal in Botlek — anchored quay wall, impressed-current cathodic protection, dredging and bank works. The specific new berth is sized for a 135m inland barge, but the contract underwrites continued capacity buildout at the wider EVOS terminal. Open tender (cn-standard), notice 334844-2026.

Why it matters for P&M: Named-customer expansion at a major NW Europe liquid-bulk terminal; this berth is inland-barge-specific, but the EVOS capacity trajectory is the signal worth tracking.

Gothenburg embraces green harbour operations as major convention approaches

[Shore power — on-shore]Riviera Maritime News|2026-05-13 (Wednesday)

Scandinavia's largest port profiles its green-port stack ahead of a major convention: world-first methanol-hybrid Svitzer tug, shore-power infrastructure investment, and alternative-fuels bunkering plans.

Why it matters for P&M: Gothenburg is a marquee Northern European port and a benchmark reference for green-harbour rollouts. The combination of methanol-hybrid tug + shore-power expansion at the same site is the integrated narrative European peers will benchmark to — likely a tendering pull-forward across Scandi/North Sea ports.

APM Terminals CEO confirms automation plans for North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven (NTB)

[Crane procurement / electrification]WorldCargoNews|2026-05-12 (Tuesday)

APM Terminals CEO Vincent Clerc confirmed plans to implement automation at NTB Bremerhaven to lower the terminal’s breakeven, as part of the €1bn NTB/Eurogate modernisation targeting a capacity increase from 3 to 4M TEU annually. New cranes and yard equipment form the core of the equipment replacement programme, targeting zero-GHG operations.

Why it matters for P&M: APM Terminals is a key incumbent customer and Bremerhaven is Europe’s largest container port. The €1bn equipment modernisation puts substantial crane electrification scope on the table in the medium term — worth engaging on the equipment specification now, ahead of formal tendering.
