I AM TOTALY BESIDE MYSELF. DOUBLE CROWN HAS GREAT FAVOR IN THE OIL INDUSTRY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL MOST TWO YEARS FOR THIS.

Very detailed news from DDCC on the new transport system with its new name. Double Crown gives a lot of information in this PR today on why this system is such an advantage for shipping frac sand and other aggregate products. The comments on how this system can solve the rail capacity shortage we keep hearing about are perhaps the most important part.
----------------------------------------------------

Regarding the market introduction of Double Crown's TransLock² system at this time, President Allen E. Lopez stated, "We are now ready to offer the global shipping industry a technological leap forward in industrial commodity transport that can bring across the board enhancements which are simply unmatched by any other option available today. The timing of the TransLock² introduction has also coincided with a very significant development in the North American shale energy sector. The current tremendous increase in rail shipments of materials to and from shale oilfields has pushed the rail industry to its capacity limits, so much so that other rail shipments, especially in agriculture, are facing long delays and unavailability of sufficient carrier cars. Double Crown Resources has an immediate solution to this major problem with the TransLock² system which can dramatically increase the capacity of existing rail lines for aggregate commodities by turning ordinary intermodal flatbed cars into high efficiency, cost saving and environmentally friendly platforms. We are now offering operational demonstrations of TransLock² at a location near our offices in Houston, TX. We welcome inquiries from any company involved in aggregate commodity shipping and we very much look forward to showing all that TransLock² can do."

Double Crown Resources Releases Detailed Slide Presentation on TransLock² Aggregate Material Transport System, a Macro Universal Logistics Enhancement

Presentation Now Available at Doublecrownresources.com

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- November 3, 2014--Double Crown Resources, Inc. (DDCC), a fully reporting company, invites all interested parties to view a detailed slide presentation on TransLock² (TransLock Squared) the company's advanced and recently redesigned, patent-pending aggregate material transport system for water, road and rail shipments. The new presentation, which can be viewed atwww.doublecrownresources.com, clearly illustrates the unique features that make TransLock² universally superior to the existing transport model and a true macro universal logistics enhancement for industrial aggregate commodity shipping. Operational demonstrations of TransLock² are currently being given in Houston, TX for potential users of the system.

Key points of the new TransLock² presentation include:

Ability to convert intermodal flat rail cars into 100 ton, sealed aggregate commodity carriers.

Patent-pending vertical and horizontal interlock, slide lid system, horizontal slide lid system and vertical side vents are 100% accessible from the multi-ladder perimeter system.

Operator will never be required to climb on top of or between units. All access is available from the perimeter and our patent-pending multi-ladder design.

Because of the patent-pending interlock system, TransLock² containers can stack up to four high and/or two high and the contents can transfer from top to bottom, left to right, with only one connection to transfer the materials.

TransLock² is the first system to have manual/gravity feed, Venturi vacuum, pneumatic blower base conveyance unit options.

Developed to address a current serious logistics shipping problem for many industries; The significant lack of availability of covered rail cars.

Reduces the number of handlings required in a traditional logistics model by as much as half.

Reduces the loss and/or breach of material lost due to super sacks in the obsolete, inefficient method of aggregate commodity transport.

A universal, global, macro logistics enhancement to existing transport technology.

TransLock² is ideal for multiple industries. These units can carry aggregates, chemicals, fluids, and virtually all types of commodity products.

Shortage of railroad cars for crop shipments

News Link: http://wtaq.com/news/articles/2014/oct/14/shortage-of-railroad-cars-for-crop-shipments/

Tuesday, October 14, 2014 8:42 a.m. CDT
(WSAU-Wheeler News) Wisconsin's agriculture secretary says he's working with other industry leaders to raise awareness about a shortage of railroad shipping cars. Ben Brancel also endorses a federal proposal for tighter regulation over U-S railroads by the Surface Transportation Board. We've heard recently that Minnesota farmers, grain shippers, and others are hampered by reduced access to rail cars. That's because railroads are catering more to the booming North Dakota oil fields.

The Wisconsin State Journal says many agri-businesses and other firms in the Badger State have the same problem. It's also compounded by the state's booming frac-sand industry, which sends silica sand to oil companies for their drilling equipment.

Brancel says one lesser-known consequence is that Canadian-based rail firms have moved more of their train equipment into their home country to avoid federal fines there. Brancel calls it a long-term concern that America must resolve. Max Ericson, who owns a trucking and logging firm at Minong, said he lost 10 percent of his income last year due to cuts in rail service. Bill Oemichen of the Cooperative Network said propane-and-coal deliveries are behind schedule due to rail-car shortages. He says it might cause fuel prices to skyrocket again this winter -- even though the federal government just recently predicted the opposite.

Potential for Asia container shortages due to West Coast congestion

Greg Knowler, Senior Asia Editor | Nov 25, 2014 8:08PM EST

News Link: http://www.joc.com/maritime-news/container-lines/hanjin-shipping/potential-asia-container-shortages-due-west-coast-congestion_20141125.html

One potential consequence of the congestion at West Coast ports — a shortage of containers in Asia due to difficulties repositioning them back from the U.S. — is being watched closely but does not seem yet to be creating widespread problems.

Some carriers are seeing container shortages due to the West Coast gridlock. A spokesman for Hanjin Shipping said the carrier was facing container equipment shortages in Asia.

“This is mainly due to the congestion taking place on the U.S. West Coast. The congestion is causing frequent port skips and delays of services, which lead to irregular deliveries of container equipment to Asia,” she said, adding that it was hard to tell whether the shortage would continue until Chinese New Year in February, “but it seems less likely that it will be solved” soon.

Other carriers have not seen the issue crop up, at least not yet. OOCL director of trades Stephen Ng said he was not aware of any shortages of containers. “However, the situation is very fluid, especially with the slowdown in the U.S. West Coast ports,” he said. He added it was “a bit too” early to forecast whether equipment would be in short supply in the run up to Chinese New Year.

A senior U.S.-based carrier executive on Tuesday said it’s “indeed it’s a challenge,” to reposition empties from the U.S. to Asia due to the West Coast congestion. “It’s definitely more difficult,” he said, adding that “eventually it could develop into an issue, but not yet at this moment.”

Part of the reason for concern is railroads restrictions placed on the loading of westbound empty containers at Midwest rail ramps, a situation described in this article published on Tuesday by JOC.com's Bill Mongelluzzo.

Another senior U.S.-based carrier executive who asked not to be quoted said the issue would likely be more severe for smaller carriers that don’t have the same global scale as carriers like Maersk, CMA CGM or Mediterranean Shipping Co. Those carriers have the ability to offset a shortage of empties in Asia with containers repositioned into the region from elsewhere.

The potential for a shortage of empties in Asia is being closely followed because of the ever-present possibility that capacity shortages could emerge with little warning, stranding shippers’ cargo and leaving them scrambling for limited equipment or space on ships. Even though the industry is entering its traditional slack season in December and January, eastbound trans-Pacific volumes have been strong and a surge could develop in the runup to Chinese New Year when factories throughout the country shut for ten days or more.

It's great to see that DDCC is branching out beyond the oil industry into agricultural transport and other aggregate commodities instead of focusing solely on frac sand.
