日本船舶技术研究协会（JSTRA）加入全球海洋生物安全产业联盟（GIA）。JSTRA会长田中诚一表示:“我们提供了一个综合性海事集群平台，让航运业、政府组织以及学术界的成员团结在一起。”全球海洋生物安全产业联盟（GIA）是国际海事组织（IMO）GloFouling伙伴项目建立的行业合作平台，汇集了来自海事、航运、海洋能源、水产养殖和其他海洋产业的领导者，其目的在于通过加强生物污着管理，为当下最紧迫的两个环境目标—保护海洋生物多样性和航运业脱碳，寻找解决方案。该联盟将于10月10日举行第8次会议，并对正在开展的活动进行讨论，包括制作宣传动画，编写与港口生物污着管理相关的报告等。

The Japan Ship Technology Research Association (JSTRA) is the latest entity to join the Global Industry Alliance (GIA) for Marine Biosafety, a platform for industry collaboration set up under IMO's GloFouling Partnerships project. Seiichi Tanaka, Chairman of JSTRA said“ We provide an integrated maritime cluster (platform) where members from shipping industry, government and academia come together as one.” The GIA brings together committed leaders from maritime, shipping, ocean energy, aquaculture and other ocean-based industries, to support two key IMO pressing environmental objectives via improved biofouling management: protect marine biodiversity and decarbonize shipping. The alliance will hold its 8th meeting in October (10 October). GIA members will discuss ongoing activities, including producing an awareness raising animation; developing a report exploring port perspective related to biofouling management.

为了加强陆上业务、提高整体生产力，支持菲律宾吕宋岛中北部地区的经济发展，由国际集装箱码头服务公司（ICTSI）运营的苏比克湾国际港口（SBITC）将部署4台橡胶轮胎式龙门吊（RTG），预计在9月底交付。码头还将扩大现役车队规模，以缩短卡车和船舶的周转时间，从而加快码头货物的流通。自2019年使用RTG以来，苏比克湾码头减少了卡车停留时间，提高了堆场利用率，增加了42%的码头静态容量。凭借新增设备，苏比克湾码头将在市场中保持领先地位，能更好地应对旺季激增的货物运输量。

ICTSI's Subic Bay International Terminals (SBITC) will deploy four additional rubber-tired gantries (RTG) to strengthen its onshore operations and improve overall productivity, supporting the growth prospects of Northern and Central Luzon in the Philippines. The RTGs are expected to be delivered in the last week of September and will augment the terminal's existing fleet of six to enable faster truck and vessel turnaround times for smoother cargo flow. Therefore, SBITC will be able to stay ahead of the demand curve and meet increased cargo shipments during the peak shipping season. Since using RTGs in 2019, SBITS has resulted in reduced truck dwell time, improved container yard utilization, and a 42% increase in terminal static capacity.
