ONEX Shipyards signs agreement with for eco vessels

ONEX Shipyards and Technologies Group has announced a strategic agreement with Antipollution, a member of the V Group, for the design and construction of four state-of-the-art ecological vessels with an option for four additional units. The agreement was signed at the Posidonia 2026 international exhibition in the presence of Greece’s Minister of Shipping and Island Policy, Vasilis Kikilias, underscoring the project’s significance for the national economy and international shipping. The vessels will be designed and built entirely in Greece, utilising the combined capabilities of ONEX’s Elefsina Shipyards and the historic Syros Shipyards at Neorio. Classification will be provided by ABS, guaranteeing quality, safety and environmental excellence. The new eco vessels will incorporate advanced technologies for the collection of ship-generated waste and its transport to land-based facilities in compliance with the strictest international MARPOL convention standards, while their design also prepares them for operations in conditions of marine pollution and maritime emergencies.

Kalmar plans operating model simplification

Kalmar Corporation’s Board of Directors has initiated planning for a reorganisation of its operating model, with the central structural change being the combination of its Terminal Tractors and Horizontal Transportation divisions into a single unified division. The reorganisation is designed to simplify governance, accelerate development and enhance research and development across port, terminal and distribution customer segments. The planned changes form part of Kalmar’s broader Driving Excellence initiative, supporting the achievement of its 2028 performance targets of a 15% comparable operating profit margin and 5% annual sales growth over the cycle. The restructuring is expected to generate cost savings of approximately EUR 10 million, with full run-rate achieved by the end of 2027. External segment reporting will remain unchanged, with Equipment and Services continuing as the two reported segments.
