Expanding super postpanamax capability

The terminal has commenced discussions with suppliers with a view to ordering additional super post-panamax cranes, with a 22 container outreach, which will operate alongside the existing cranes of the same class.

The terminal has also commenced a programme of civil works to extend the wider gauge crane rail to the end of berth 204. These works will enable the superpost- panamax cranes to operate along 1075m out of 1350m of the terminal’s deep-sea quayline.

As part of this upgrading process, the company will also decommission the three cranes which were suspended from operation, and have been parked up on berth 204, following the boom collapse accident in July this year.
