Jeddah Port’s Red Sea Gateway Terminal has taken delivery of two remote-controlled Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, and 10 hybrid-Rubber-Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGs), as part of its planned expansion.<\/p>\n
Namely the terminal aims to double its annual container throughput capacity to 5.2 million TEUs by 2023. <\/p>\n The new hybrid-RTGs can automatically switch to battery power from diesel power to optimize efficiency by reducing fuel consumption and harmful greenhouse gas emissions during container handling operations. <\/p>\n The new 65-ton twin-lift capacity STS cranes can accommodate the latest generation of Ultra-Large Container Ships of 24,000+ TEU capacity, with a 70-meter reach and a 52-meter height.<\/p>\n RSGT is the only terminal at the Port of Jeddah capable of accommodating the ultra large containerships. <\/p>\n Manufactured by Shanghai-based ZPMC, the new semi-automated STS cranes feature Optical Character Scanning capability; chassis alignment, and automatic landing systems; vessel profiling, gantry, and trolley positioning systems; and intelligent status condition monitoring systems, the container terminal said.<\/p>\n By 2023, RSGT plans to deploy 24 Super Post-Panamax quay cranes, and 67 rubber-tyred gantry cranes.<\/p>\n Plans are underway for a total investment of $1.7 billion on infrastructure, equipment, and improvements, ultimately increasing annual container throughput capacity to 8.8 million TEU.<\/p>\n \u201cOur goal is to attract and growth the regional transshipment business through continuing providing world-class service to our customer\u2019s vessels and hinterland supply chain,\u201c <\/em> RSGT CEO Jens Floe<\/strong> said. <\/p>\n The post Red Sea Gateway Terminal bolsters capacity with new cranes<\/a> appeared first on Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jeddah Port’s Red Sea Gateway Terminal has taken delivery of two remote-controlled Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, and 10 hybrid-Rubber-Tyred Gantry Cranes (RTGs), as part of its planned expansion.
