20 item(s) mentioning Australia & New Zealand in the rolling archive, newest first.
Qube has completed an AU$13m first-stage upgrade of the former Albany Bulk Handling site at the Port of Albany in Western Australia.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: Funded bulk-terminal upgrade at Port of Albany — plausible crane and electrification scope as further phases proceed.
Australian longshore unions are resisting DP World's plans to expand automation and AI at its terminals, targeting automated cranes and RTGs in enterprise-agreement negotiations.
Why it matters for P&M: union pushback on DP World's automated cranes and RTGs signals friction that could slow terminal-automation timelines in Australia.
New Zealand's EV Maritime will supply the electric-propulsion integration for Western Australia's first all-electric ferry fleet, being built by Echo Marine Group in Henderson — a programme spanning vessels and charging infrastructure.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: WA's first all-electric ferry fleet needs shore charging — a new ANZ vessel-charging opening.
New ship-to-shore cranes fitted with gooseneck booms are being delivered for a Sydney container terminal, expanding quay-crane capacity.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: new STS cranes at Sydney open a cable-reel and cable-management attach; engage before the electrification package is specified.
ICTSI's Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in Melbourne has secured a 26-year contract extension (now running to 2066) effective 25 June, with an ongoing investment programme due for completion in late 2026 lifting estimated capacity to 1.6 million TEU.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: ICTSI's 26-year Melbourne extension funds capacity to 1.6M TEU — automation and electrification attach at a named operator.
DP World has reportedly tabled a proposal to operate and manage Lyttelton Port on New Zealand's South Island. The port's owners are seeking capital for a new berth to handle larger vessels, while the local maritime union opposes the move.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: DP World's Lyttelton bid targets a new deep-water berth — early-stage crane, shore-power and MoorMaster scope if it proceeds.
The Port of Melbourne reported a new TEU throughput record.
Hundreds of BHP workers at Port Hedland in Western Australia voted in favour of strike action, two unions said on Thursday, raising the risk of disruption to iron ore shipments from one of the world's biggest export hubs.
Why it matters for P&M: Port Hedland is a MoorMaster reference site — industrial action there risks disruption at a flagship bulk installation.
Australia's Transport Safety Bureau has published an interim report into the breakaway of four vessels during a storm at the Port of Brisbane last year; three large container ships broke their moorings and one subsequently grounded.
Why it matters for P&M: storm mooring failures at a major container port reinforce the automated-mooring (MoorMaster) safety case for long-wave berths.
Strike action at one of Australia's major LNG export operations is delaying carrier loadings and disrupting global LNG flows.
Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT, Melbourne — operated by ICTSI) has commissioned four additional Kalmar hybrid automated straddle carriers.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: VICT expansion confirms ICTSI's electrified terminal-vehicle pipeline; protect Cavotec charging route via the ICTSI relationship.
Competitor Zinus AS announced it will deliver cable management systems for the shore-power solution at MOWI's new processing facility at Jøsnøya, Hitra in Norway. The scope is delivered in collaboration with turnkey technical contractor JM Hansen and serves Napier's harvest vessel fleet, including the largest harvest vessel of its kind.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: Zinus win at MOWI Hitra is competitor intel; track JM Hansen as integrator route for Norwegian shore-power follow-on.
CentrePort Wellington has announced the first major operational application of the private 5G network it deployed in 2025, with engineering installing 5G-enabled equipment across its terminal estate.
Hamilton Container Terminal in Southern Ontario has received key regulatory approval to receive containers by direct rail link from Canada's major container ports.
Zinus has been awarded its first-ever Australian contract by UGL Transport — with end customer Transport for NSW — for a ZPP800 fully autonomous DC charging tower installation at Sydney's Barangaroo Wharf. The deal lands the Norwegian competitor at one of Sydney Harbour's most visible ferry locations and opens a new geographic market for its e-vessel charging line.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: Competitor's first AU entry at NSW Transport opens adjacent ferry-wharf charging targets for Cavotec follow-on across Sydney.
Foreign ministers of Australia, India, Japan and the US have agreed to jointly build a port in Fiji and signed pacts covering critical minerals and energy security, as part of broader Indo-Pacific positioning amid China tensions.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: new greenfield Pacific port build at policy-level commitment — early-stage signal to track for crane, shore-power and mooring scope.
CMA CGM has appointed Esra Bora as Managing Director of ANL Container Line and General Manager of CMA CGM Oceania, based in Melbourne. Bora will oversee group activities across Oceania and ANL's strategy and operations.
Why it matters for P&M: New Oceania chief at a top-3 global shipping line — fresh stakeholder for shore-power and customer-relationship work at Australian ports.
Australian regional terminal operator Flinders Port Holdings has disclosed details of an automation pilot for Automated Rail-mounted Gantry cranes (ARTGs) at its Adelaide container terminal.
Why is this an opportunity for P&M: ARTG automation pilot at a regional terminal — pre-OEM window for Cavotec cable-reel and busbar capture.
Op-ed arguing that ongoing litigation by the Chinese lessee of Darwin Port is an attempt to stall the Australian government's stated aim of returning the facility to Australian control — context on port-governance and strategic-asset disputes in the Indo-Pacific.
ICTSI reported Q1 2026 revenue of $961m (+29% YoY) and net income of $315m (+23%), driven by new terminals: Durban Gateway (acquired January 2026) and Batu Ampar (late 2025). Organic volume growth was 1%. Chairman Razon reaffirmed the $740m 2026 capex programme funding ongoing expansions in Mexico, Philippines, Brazil and DR Congo plus four new projects in Honduras, Australia, Ecuador and Mexico.
Why it matters for P&M: ICTSI is a top-tier global operator on the customer list and the $740m capex programme is one of the most concrete multi-terminal pipelines on the table. The geographic footprint — particularly Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador) — overlaps with Cavotec's growth corridors. Sales should map specific Honduras and Ecuador greenfields to outreach now.
