Ressource Solutions joins the E-Port Systems Project set to double Zanzibar Port’s Revenue
Malindi Port, Zanzibar, is modernising. A modern digital system is expected to increase monthly revenue by Sh6 -Sh8 billion. Members of the project team include leading ports technology providers. Ressource Solutions is one of them. For ports to ensure seamless and cost-effective services to customers at yards, quaysides, and gates requires the accurately monitoring, […]
Fuel Temperature Compensation Matters
The use of diesel-powered equipment in ports is widespread and mainly due to efficiency, performance, and reliability. Moving millions of containers through port terminals requires the consumption of millions of litres of diesel. Terminals typically mitigate cost components, improve asset and process efficiency through analytics. This means accurately monitoring, analysing, and managing fuel usage and […]
Fuel Management in Underground Mining
Mining conditions are typically harsh and unforgiving. None more so than underground mining environments. The last few years have seen significant advancements in underground mining which have facilitated deeper mines. This has necessitated better communication networks, and safety and productivity improvements. These developments are in response to ever increasing global demands. To meet these demands, […]
Staying on top of Excessive Idling
Moving millions of containers through port terminals requires cargo handling equipment. Diesel powered equipment is widespread and used due to efficiency, performance, and reliability. Equipment typically includes ship-to-shore cranes, mobile cranes, rail-mounted gantry cranes, rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTGs), reach stackers and straddle carriers. Consumption patterns for diesel differ across terminals and depend on terminal equipment […]
Fuel Management at Altitude
Challenges in the mining industry are common. When these challenges occur at altitude, they require tactical thinking and smart solutions. At altitude oxygen is rare and temperatures are low. Anyone who has experienced high-altitude conditions knows the feeling – the air is thin, and breathing is difficult. People start to experience breathing difficulties at 1,500 […]
Smart Terminals Employ Integrated Fuel Management Systems
Challenges facing the container port industry include better safety performance, greater operational complexity (bigger ships), managing congestion risk and staying profitable though shipping line economic cycles. Moving hundreds of millions of containers through port terminals requires numerous trucks, trains, ships, cargo handling equipment, barges, and marine workboats. Cargo handling equipment need to be powered. Diesel […]
Saving the Mining Industry $2,000,000 per Month
Mining environments are typically harsh and unforgiving. Commodity price volatility and increasing operating and capital costs necessitate mines to aggressively drive financial discipline more than ever. Adopting a pit to port to customer approach, mines typically identify cost reducing components at enterprise and functional levels, improve asset and process efficiency through analytics, and streamline the […]
Intelligent, remote monitoring of Diesel Gensets
According to the IFC (World Bank Group) about 1.5 billion people live with “broken” electricity grids and experience blackouts, often for thousands of hours a year. Reliance on distributed diesel and gasoline backup generators, is a common stopgap measure. Generators are deployed across the globe on a large scale both on- and off-grid, at homes, […]
Diesel is here to Stay – For Now
As a transportation fuel, diesel fuel offers a wide range of performance, efficiency, and safety features. Diesel fuel also has a greater energy density than other liquid fuels, so it provides more useful energy per unit of volume. A recent study by the Freedonia Group states, “For a significant percentage of the public, diesel engines […]
Fueling Trade Effectively
Moving trade through ports requires numerous trucks, trains, ships, cargo handling equipment, barges, and marine workboats. Cargo handling equipment need to be powered. Diesel powered equipment is widespread. Fuel usage and fuel management in ports are therefore …. The type of cargo handling equipment used in a terminal is determined by its container handling system. […]
