The new cranes are destined for the Basra Gateway Terminal in the Port of Umm Qasr and will be handed over to ICTSI for commercial operation in the second quarter of 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to be part of the development and expansion of this major port by supplying our products, and to contribute to its competitiveness in this way,” said Maurizio Altieri, general manager of the TPS facility in Xiamen.<\/p>\n
Port of Umm Qasr is the only deep-water port in Iraq and is the main transhipment point for trade in the country.<\/p>\n
All five cranes are being manufactured by TPS in Xiamen. The three rubber-tyre gantry cranes will be used for managing the container stackyard. They will offer a maximum lifting capacity of 41 tonnes under spreader.<\/p>\n
The two all-electric and eco-friendly ship-to-shore cranes will be used predominantly for loading and unloading containers on feeder vessels.<\/p>\n
They are designed as monobox constructions fitted with a self-propelled trolley and offer a lifting capacity up to 41 tonnes under spreader.<\/p>\n
Previously TPS has supplied 24 three rubber-tyre gantry cranes to three different terminals which are operated by ICTSI in Brazil, the Philippines and Madagascar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
