The 16 hybrid rubber tyred gantry (RTG) cranes will be deployed at the Manila International Container Terminal as part of the operator\u2019s US$80 million capital equipment programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new RTGs will improve terminal efficiency and allow us to match demand in terms of operational performance,\u201d said Christian R Gonzalez, ICTSI senior vice president and head of Asia-Pacific and MICT.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust as important is that we can expect a minimum 40% reduction in carbon emissions and up to 60% better fuel economy. A side benefit is that the smaller engines mean reduced noise levels at the yard.”<\/p>\n
The MES hybrid uses diesel fuel saving technology that combines 200kVA Li-ion batteries and a smaller diesel engine, resulting in lower carbon emissions and better fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n
Manufactured by Japanese shipbuilder and equipment maker Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (MES), the Mitsui Li-ion Hybrid RTG can stack one over five containers high and six containers wide, including truck roadway.<\/p>\n
The first batch of RTGs is scheduled for delivery in November next year, with the remaining eight to be turned over by October 2019.<\/p>\n
ICTSI is also set to commission five additional quay cranes by 2019, which includes a pair of neo-Panamax cranes. Upon completion, MICT will become the only terminal in the Philippines capable of servicing neo-Panamax boxships with capacities of up to 13,000 teu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
