Demag Cranes AG: Setting the Record Straight About Today’s Denial of Talks with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Demag Cranes AG denied the announcements published today by the news agency Bloomberg concerning initial talks between its subsidiary Gottwald Port Technology GmbH and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. about a general cooperation in the crane business.
To set the record straight, Gottwald Port Technology concluded a regional agreement in 2006 with MEC Engineering Service Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, for sales and services activities relating to Mobile Harbour Cranes in Japan. Talks about how this cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries should continue have been ongoing for the past three months. These talks have no bearing on the general sales focus of the Demag Cranes' Port Technology segment, which has remained unchanged.
 
Intermodal transportation: The next wave?
 Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland).
However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
