Kalmars Royal success
Kalmar has received an order for one post-Panamax shipto-shore (STS) container crane from Bristol Port Company, destined for the Royal Portbury Dock. With an outreach of 45 metres, this heavy-duty crane will be capable of handling 17-wide containerships. The crane is destined for the existing deepsea terminal in Bristol, which has a total quay length of 500 metres on which two ship to shore cranes are already in use.The design of the crane will be identical to that delivered recently to Interforest Rotterdam, with a single box girder and semi-rope trolley.
VECON LPNR and CNR systems will be installed on the six berths at the Busan New Port North Container Terminal, whilst in Hong Kong AVT will provide the River Trade Terminal, which caters for trade with the Pearl River region, with a ‘Gate-Out Processing Automation solution’ by installing VECON-CON on 5 out-lanes at the terminal.
More than 30 units of this design are now in day-to-day operation. The crane will be supplied with a state-of-theart electronic anti-sway system including semiautomatic features and can be accessed through a Remote Monitoring Interface (RMI).
