Emirates SkyCargo operates vaccine charter to BH Airport, Brazil


10


Emirates SkyCargo has transported over 25 tonnes of vaccines from Milan to BH airport, Bello Horizonte in Brazil on its Boeing 777 freighter aircraft. This is the largest shipment of vaccines that the air cargo carrier has transported on a single flight and it is also the first time that BH Airport has received such a large shipment of vaccines. Given the extreme


sensitivity of the vaccines to temperature fluctuations, the entire shipment, equivalent to about 1.8 million doses, had to be transported in specialized containers to maintain a constant temperature of 5 degrees C. A total of 36 Envirotainer containers - 35 RAP e2 and 1 RKNe1


containers - were loaded on the freighter at Milan, one of the designated airports in Emirates SkyCargo’s pharma corridor program, which aims to provide supplementary protection for pharma product integrity during air


MARAD awards


Port of New Orleans $2.5M grant


The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has been awarded a $2.5 million U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) grant to support the current container-on-barge shuttle service operated by SEACOR AMH between New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Memphis, and to launch a new container- on-barge shuttle service on the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) in New Orleans. The grant will be used to


purchase marine terminal handling equipment for efficient loading and un- loading of container-on-barge operations in New Orleans. The existing service, which operates on a regular, reliable schedule, repositions empty containers from Memphis to Baton Rouge to meet export customer demand. The loaded containers are then shipped by barge along the Mississippi River to Port NOLA to be loaded onto vessels for export to overseas markets. “The Port of New Orleans


is appreciative to receive this grant from MARAD to enhance our growing container-on- barge services that more of


our customers are taking advantage of,” said Brandy D. Christian, Port of New Orleans President and CEO. “We are also excited about developing a new container- on-barge service for tenants and customers located on the IHNC giving them an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative logistics solution to move cargo on our marine highways.” The funding is provided by MARAD’s Marine Highway Program, which supports the expanded use of navigable waterways to relieve landside congestion, provide new transportation options and generate other public benefits by increasing the efficiency of the surface transportation system. The program works with public and private stakeholders to achieve these goals. “These marine highway
